Exeter came back to knot the count in the second frame when hook no with Coruna in an exhibition contest at 2:00, .Certirma have won the OBA "A" title for the past couple of years and in an earlier test this season, had to go all out to beat the Expos. Expos management think they'll do even better on their home diamond and are hooking for an upset of the southern eounties powerhouse. Parsons, Bill Bourne :and Perry Stover each picked up singles, , McKnight and Stover fanned 11 Thorndale batters, while four Expos were called out on strikes. Play Champs This week, the Expos have two outings, only one at home. Their away game was played last night in Arva. 13411 fans will be in for a treat Sunday afternoon when the locals Dave Revington circled the Dave Parsons moved the diamond after getting on base runner on a sacrifice and another when the catcher dropped a third Thorndale error Sent Revington strike. scampering honte. The winning run came in the top of the seventh frame when Caddick was safe at first on an error. A stolen base and another error scored the run without the aid of a hit. Barry Baynham paced the Expos at the plate with two singles in four appearances, while Randy Tiernan, Dave Crediton club split contests It's the time of year again when the writer gets an op- portunity to renewhis aequaintanceswith the sporting world by filling this hole while Ross is cavorting around Western Canada. He reminds us once in awhile about his earlier associa- tion with farming, so we fully expect he'll return with pic- tures of his horse back riding escapades on some ranch. Who knows, he may even end up picking up enough pointers to be a contender in some of the local rodeo events this year. Similar to many readers, we spend most of our summer lolling around in the back yard, but we'll try to keep you abreast of the local sporting scene until Hook returns from his well-deserved rest. Swim team looks good In preparation for out two-week stint, Ross assigned yours truly to cover the first swim meet held at the local waterway a week ago. It was decided we should have pic- tures of all the local winners and that didn't appear at first thought to be too much of a chore. However, the local kids kept the photographer on the hop throughout the meet as they churned their way to vic- tory in a majority of the events. Donna Doidge and her staff have a real enthusiastic bunch of swimmers and we were more than slightly im- pressed with the manner in which the kids performed. A few, as you will have noted from last issue, pickedup three or four first place ribbons in the four-team meet and there's no doubt but what it will take a good team to beat them as the season progresses. Some of the youngsters literally fly through the water and conditioning is a prime requisite. There's probably no better sport for keeping in shape and the writer was almost limp from exhaustion just watching the races. We found out one other thing too. Swimming is a great spectator sport and many of the races were extremely close keeping those in the stands on the edge of their seats until the first hand hit the finish line. Swimming is very much an individual sport, while at the same time being a great team effort as everyone pulls for the other guy to do his best in an effort to boost the team standings, Donna will be advising readers of the next local meet and we can certainly assure you that it will be well worth your time to spend a couple of hours watching the proceedings. ANOTHER CLOSE ONE — Close plays at home featured Saturday's game which the Exeter Expos lost 3-2 to Clinton. Randy Tieman puts the tog on Clinton's Don Colquhoun to prevent the visitors from scoring in the fourth frame. Jim Pfaff moves in from the mound to watch the play. T-A photo Pee wees split pair, batting statistics high The Crediton midgets split a pair of games this week as they took on some northern com- petition, They posted a decisive 11-4 win over Wingham, Thur- sday, but were clipped 10-7 by Chesley in the Creditan park, Sunday, Sunday afternoon, the Crediton lads host Kincardine for a 2:00 p.m. game. Bases on balls hurt the Crediton crew Sunday afternoon as they outhit the Chesley team by a 7-4 margin. However, Chesley picked up 12 free passes from Doug Mclsaac and Larry Clarke to provide them with the margin of victory. The visitors scored five times in the fourth frame on only one hit to take a lead they never relinquished. Tom Hayter pounded out a double and single to pace Crediton, while Paul Shapton had two singles. Doug Mclsaac and Danny Heywood also hit doubles while Larry Clarke had a single for the other hit. Nine runs in the last two in- nings enabled the Crediton club to post the 11-4 Thursday win over Wingham. With Wingham leading 4-2 going into the bottom of the fifth the Crediton boys broke loose with four runs. Dale Dinney's single sent the first two Crediton runners home in the second. In the big fifth frame, Dale Dinney was hit by a pitch, Matt Muller was safe on an error, Tom Hayeer cracked a double and Larry Clarke smashed a home run. Singles by Dinney, Clarke, Paul Shapton and Doug Mclsaac combined with Matt Muller's double produced five more Crediton runs in the sixth. Doug McIsaac took care of the Crediton pitching chores allowing seven hits over' the six inning route. Pearce came in to finish the \game and gave up the lone run although he allowed only one hit and fanned four. Dave Atthill paced the hitting attack with a booming home run and two singles, while Dave Bogart and Doug Hoffman had a triple and single- each. Brian Mercer, Bill Glover, Derrick Vandergunst, Jeff Musser and Steve Wells also hit singles. A game on the local diamond this week was called off due to rain with Clinton and Exeter tied at 2-2. This week the pee wees travel to Dashwood for a Saturday afternoon contest at 2:00 p.m. After 11 games, the Exeter crew have a record of six wins and five losses. Dave Bogart leads the hitting department with a .583 average on 21 hits, including two homers, two triples and three doubles. Brian Mercer has been hot on his heels with a .574 average, while three other players are all over the .400 mark. They are 'Dave Atthill at .482, Steve Skinner at .473 and Steve Pearce a t .454. Four other members of the club are batting over .300. They are R. MacDonald, Wayne Parsons, D. Bell and Dave Shaw. The Exeter pee wees split a pair of games this week, showing a complete reversal of form in the two outings. Monday night they were drubbed 21-7 by Goderich as they suffered their worst beating of the season, but the kids rebounded to their usual form two nights later to clobber Crediton 17-1 at the local park. Steve Pearce and Wayne Parsons shared the pitching chores in the Goderich contest and had trouble getting the winners out, especially in the third inning when nine runs came across the plate. Some inept play by their mates also kept the pitchers in trouble throughout much of the contest. Dave Bogart paced the Exeter crew at the plate with three singles in four appearances. Doug Hoffman had a pair of singles and Dave Shaw-and Steve Pearce had one hit apiece. The locals were very alert and showed a great deal of desire in the Crediton contest as they pounded out an even dozen hits for their lopsided victory. Dave Bogart started on the hill for the winners in his debut and went five innings, allowing no hits or runs, while walking six and wiffing nine batters. Steve The Exeter Expos hooked up, in two of the most exciting tilts of the season on their home diamond this weekend, and came vut the losers in one-run decisions. The locals couldn't get the big hits when they needed them in dropping a 3-2 verdict to the powerful Clinton Colts on Saturday, and they mustered only six hits as they were nipped 2-1 by Thorndale Sunday af- ternoon. The two losses evened the Expos record at eight wins and eight losses for the season, Saturday night's game was a real pitcher's dual throughout between Exeter's Jim Pfaff and Ed Daer and Cam MacDonald for the Colts. Clinton managed only five hits, while the Expos mustered only four in the fast-paced contest. Clinton drew first blood with a single tally in the second frame when Rick Fremlin reached first on a lead-off single. He moved around the paths on a stolen base and an error and scored on a close play at the plate after a fly to left field. The 'visitors upped their margin to three runs with a pair in the top of the ninth with Fremlin reaching first on his second hit of the night and Biding home on a home run over the left field fence by MacDonald. The Expos almost pulled the win out in their final trip to the plate, Barry Baynham reached first on an error and Rob Grant promptly drilled a double down the first base line to score the first tally. After Randy Tiernan went down swinging for the second out, Jim Lewyckyj singled and this was duplicated by Dave Revirtgtort to score Grant and put runners at first and second. Clinton got a lucky '"Argo bounce" to retire playing manager Terry Bourne to end the threat. ' Bourne punched a grounder to first that Brad Dutot booted, but he pushed the ball directly to second baseman Greg Burns who flipped it to the pitcher covering at first to nip Bourne by a step. Randy Tieman had the only other hit for the Expos, a single in the eighth frame. Pfaff picked up four strikeouts in the contest, while seven Expos went back to the bench via the strike-out route. Sunday afternoon, Paul McKnight and Perry Stover teamed up to hold Thorndale to seven hits and only two runs, but their mates again failed to get their bats booming as the Expos lost 2-1. Thorndale scored in their first trip to the plate as Bestard led off with a single and came around to ANNUAL SUMMER SALE CLEARANCE STARTS THURSDAY JULY 25 Short Sleeve Men's Slacks Sport Shirts Reg. to 25.00 FIRST RUN CLOSE — This play produced the first run in Saturday night's game between the Exeter Expos and Clinton Colts.

Despite losing a couple of key players to the London Dukes, The Expos are giving a good account of themselves and are' playing well over .500 ball. The Greys of course, have yet to face defeat at time of writing, so if you are similar to many fans in wanting to back a winner, there's no better team to watch in action. .--,=7,47-Whilethe minor baseball has suffered its usual ups and downs due to a lack of adult support, holidays and competi- tion from the swim pool, many of the kids' teams are dding well and they give you full value for your time through their sincere efforts. Drive up to the park one of these nights and give the local teams some of the support they deserve. Age limited boosted Area hockey fans, while enjoying the rest before the coming season, may be interested in knowing that the age of junior hockey players has been raised one year. That means that the Hawks and their competitors won't be losing any players via age this year, although some of the graduating midgets may have something to say about a few of the fringe players sticking with the clubs for the coming season, Exeter Minor Hockey Association have supported the idea for increasing the age for some time now, but the change this year isn't being greeted all that enthusiastically. Last year was a rebuilding term for the Hawks and since none of their competitors will be losing players via the age route, the locals will have trouble regaining their ac- customed position on top of the heap. However, the change will allow the boys to spend one more year in junior hockey, and because few of them progress above that level, it will give them one more year at the game and that is certainly an advantage for most. While some of the overage midgets may be bemoaning the fact there will be few holes to fill on the Hawks, they should be cheered by the fact the EMHA has decided to enter a juvenile squad in the Shamrock loop this year. This will ensure that no one has to sit out a year waiting for a spot on the Hawks and we fully expect that local sport fans will find that the juvenile brand of hockey is one of the most entertaining to watch. Exeter will also be forming "B" teams in the atom, pee wee and bantam divisions as usual, but this year the squads will be entered in Shamrock play. Or that is the present plan. This will give more boys the thrill of playing inter-town hockey as well as providing them with the extra competition that is required to keep the "A" teams stocked with good players.
