Harold Borden singled and scored in the bottom of the seventh inning to gain the tie for Crediton. A good portion of the scoring took place in the first inning with Seaforth jumping out in front 7-4. Andy Nedza, Steve Dinney, Harold Borden and Ralph Wells scored for Crediton in the opening frame and Dinney, Borden and Wells repeated in the second inning.

Wells and Dave Piercey the bases circle in the The Dashwood Tigers started the Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league season over the weekend on the right foot with a pair of victories over the Zurich Mets. In Dashwood Friday night, the Tigers came roaring back from an 8-1 deficit to eke out a 10-8 decision and Sunday afternoon also in Dashwood, the Tigers were again victorious. This time the score was 4-3 for Dashwood but a heavy rain storm helped the Tigers, With Dashwood leading 4-3, Zurich had the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh with nobody out when the game was called because of rain. The game was played in Dash- wood because the Zurich diamond was not in condition to be used. In their first game of the season, a week earlier the Zurich club edged the defending champion Clinton Colts 4-2. This week the Tigers are at home to Thorndale at the Dash- wood athletic field Friday night at 8 p.m. The Zurich club is idle this week. Go ahead early In Sunday's game, the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and were never headed. With two out in the opening frame, Bob Hoffman drew a walk from Zurich hurler Dick Bedard and Jim Guenther followed with a home run. In the Dashwood second, Larry Gibson doubled and came around to score on a similar hit from the bat of Barry Clark. Zurich first hit the scoreboard in the fourth when Ron Corriveau and Phil Overholt walked and scored on passed balls and a Tiger throwing miscue. The Tigers increased their lead to a 4-2 in the top of the seventh when Larry Gibson was safe on an error and scored on Perry Stover's single. The third Mets marker was scored by lead-off batter Clarke in the seventh on a walk, passed ball and an error. Zurich con- tinued to threaten by loading the bases but the Tigers were saved by the heavy rains. Southpaw Jim Guenther was on the mound for the Tigers and held the Mets to one hit until he ran into trouble in the seventh. Perry Stover came on in relief as the game ended. Win in seventh A four run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning enabled the Tigers to score Friday's 12-10 victory over Zurich. Zurich moved in front 2-0 in the opening inning on singles Soccer club wins twice The Exeter Centennials scored two recent victories in the Ausable senior soccer league. Thursday night in a rescheduled game, the Cen- tennials blanked Lucan 5-0 and Sunday they picked up another two points when the Grand Bend club failed to show for a 6 p.m. contest at the Canners field in Exeter. Against Lucan the Centennials took a 1-0 half time lead on a successful shot by Dick Lord, They came on strong in the sescond half and picked up four more scores. Getting one goal each were Bill Osterloo, Dave Parsons, Al Hern and John Rasenberg, Hern's goal came on a penalty kick. Turning in an outstanding effort at inside left position for Exeter was Jim Kotsanis. Tigers win twice over Mets, rain helps in second victory delivered by Kevin McKinnon and Rick Schilbe. The Tigers scored their first run in the second frame as Bill Schade doubled and counted on Joe Arnold's single. The Mets moved ahead 6-1 in the third on four hits off Dash- wood starter Larry Gibson, Pat Bedard led the attack with a triple and Paul Charrette, Rick Schilbe and Gerard Charrette added one base blows. Zurich came right back in the fourth and the first two batters were able to score, Percy Bedard was safe on an error and rode home on McKinnon's round tripper, At this point, Dashwood manager Jack Schade made a pitching change and brought Larry Clarke to the rescue. Clarke was able to retire the side without further problems. Clarke who is also a member of the Crediton-Dashwood juveniles also tossed the next five innings and gave up only two runs while striking out a total of 11 Mets. The final two Zurich runs were chalked up by Rick Schilbe in the sixth and Clarke in the seventh when Dave Schilbe clouted a double. The Tigers-scored three times in the fifth on only one hit, a single from the bat of Jim Guenther, They bounced back with four scored in each of the sixth and seventh innings. The sixth inning rally was sparked by singles by Pete Wuerth and Randy Tieman, In the seventh the Dashwood hits were a single by Larry Clarke and a double delivered by ,Jim Guenther, GRAND CHAMPIONS — The "A' division and the grand championship of the Exeter men's bowling league was won by Seaforth.

We watched about five innings of the Royals first home game against the Lucan Irish and were impressed with the brand of ball displayed. All that is needed to make the brand of ball a little more exciting is good fan support. Voluble fans are helpful to any team in any sport. A sadder note On a much sadder note we pass on the information that the Exeter Expos will not field a team in the Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league this summer. A couple of scheduled practice sessions failed to stimulate very much interest. Jim Pfaff who kept the team going last year along with Lorne Haugh and Terry Bourne said he puts some of the blame for lack of interest on weekend games. Pfaff said if baseball lights were installed at the park and night games could take the place of Sunday contests he felt the baSeball interest by the players could return. For this summer at least those prospective Expos will be joining the other teams in Dashwood, Zurich, Arva and Clinton. Give Canada a hug Residents of Exeter are being asked to give Canada a hug from Tuesday, June 24 to Tuesday, July 1 but how big the hug is going to be will depend on the co-operation received by rec director Jim McKinlay and his committee. All service and volunteer groups in Exeter and district are beingasked to join in to give our country the big hug dur- ing Canada Week. The project was approved in principle a few weeks ago by RAP but a request was made that the Canada Week celebrations have total community orientation. The primary aim of Canada Week is to allow Canadians to seriously examine "what it really means to be a Canadian?" The activities tentatively planned would give us some semblance of another Centennial celebration but on a much smaller scale. Included on the agenda would be a bicycle parade, film festival, Canadian recipes competition, summer frolic, community dance, combined church service, opening of the Lions tennis courts, picnics, to name only a few. In his letter to a large number of service groups McKinlay„said he has already heard some criticism of the projecto,Jaut.thoped, that public spirit was high enough to come up with enough volunteers to put the program across. We know that most people enjoyed the Centennial celebrations and would get behind some of the fun and games. If each service club and organization gets behind only one activity with a few other volunteers Canada Week is bound to be a success. Set junior tourney The Ontario junior ladies softball elimination tourna- ment will be held in St. Marys this year on June 27, 28 and 29. The team which takes the championship in St. Marys will move on to represent the province in the Canadian junior championships to be held in Moncton, New Brunswick from July 31 to August 3. Entries in St. Marys are expected from Brantford, Hamilton, Kitchener, Oakville and Scarborough in addition to last year's elimination champs from Milverton and the all-Canadian winners from Burlington. Of local interest, Lynne Farquhar who has been a top star with the Exeter Greys for several years is now a member of the Milverton junior team. Chance to give views The committee charged with proposals for a recreation centre to serve Exeter and district will be giving area residents a chance to voice their views next week, A very complete questionnaire is being circulated as an insert with the June 5 issue of the T-A and will also be available from a number of Exeter and district stores. Copies are also being sent home through all schools in the area, Everyone whether in favour or against the proposal or having ideas of any kind is asked to return them to a number of outlets, It is not necessary to sign the question- naires so some anonymity can be maintained, The committee along with representatives of all area councils and service groups will be travelling by bus on June 18 to view the sports complex at Tillsonburg. The latest suggestion is to build the centre in two stages with a new arena sort of the priority, Anyone could guess as to how long the present arena will last. We remember at one of the earlier meetings Jack Underwood, currently chairman of RAP saying, "it isn't a question of how long the arena and the pipes under the floor will last but how they have lasted this long?" The latest release from the committee suggested an arena may be necessary by 1977. A site is also among the questions being asked the public, If little objection to having the present race track removed from the present fairgrounds that is a likely spot for the new recreation centre. An auspicious start A two year-old pacer owned by one of the district's newest harness race owners made its first start at winning one at Western Fair Raceway Monday night. Able Baron, a bay horse by Baron Hanover, owned by Doug Courtney of Grand Bend covered the mile distance in a good time of two minutes and nine seconds, Courtney has the colt entered in the Canadian juvenile stakes and his next two starts are expected to be in Hull, Quebec and Hamburg, New York for purses of $10,000 and $40,000, respectively, Able Baron was the betting choice in Monday night's race and rewarded his backers with a $3.10 payoff.
