Single scores booted by Jeff Pfaff and Rick Gilfillan com- pleted the Exeter scoring, The Dashwood Tigers broke even in two Huron-Perth in- termediate league baseball games and dropped a 9.0 decision to the Stratford juniors in exhibition play. Wednesday, the 'tigers eked nut a 10-9 decision over the ilinton, and .Friday they were on he short end of a 19-6 score against Thorndale in a contest which went almost four hours.

Wednesday they will be in Clinton, In the win over Clinton, Dash- wood scored three runs in the fifth inning to move ahead 10-8 and they were able to hold on. 4 New auto "jack" is inflatable with the exhaust in 30 seconds. Sure sounds easier. How about a car that would run either on gasoline or another fuel, without modifications of the engine when you switch. One adven- turous automaker is ex- perimenting with it — the U.S. Army. If the car pulls to one side when you brake, trouble may not be in the brakes. Check tire pressure first. Exhaust systems on cars with catalytic converters may cool down more slowly than on those without. * Trying to get extra miles out of almost-bald tires is false economy, according to ex- perts. Ninety percent of all tire trouble happens in the last 10 percent of tire wear. Tires with less than 1/16 inch of tread are 40 times more likely to go flat or blow out.

Saturday's game was the first leg of match "A" for the Exeter boys in the 1975 NAMC com- petition. The second leg is ten- tatively set for the South Huron District High School grounds on Monday, July 7 at 7:30 p.m. with Sarnia again supplying the op- position. The goals of both games are added together and the result is determined on an aggregate basis which means that Sarnia must defeat Exeter by a six goal margin in ,the second leg to win the overall match.

Laura Johns and Linda Ritchie had attended the camp before but it was a first experience for Marion Adams, Tracy Campbell and Pat Van Wieren. The girls enjoyed the camp and say the Juveniles on short end The Crediton juveniles were on the short end of a 9-3 score against Clinton Saturday in a Western Ontario Athletic Association baseball game.
