The Dashwood Tigers con-
cluded the regular Huron-Perth
schedule on a winning note as
they posted triumphs over Zurich
and Arva this week.
The win gave the Tigers a 10-6
record over the regular route and
tied them for second spot with
Thorndale, although the latter
will get the nod for playoff
positions because of abetter win-
lost record between the two
teams.
Dashwood will have to face
Clinton in the first round, with
that schedule slated to be drawn
up last night at a league meeting.
Last Wednesday night, Dash-
wood clobbered Zurich 15-5 on
their home diamond. Eight
Tigers hit safely in the contest
with John Hayter sparking the
attack with two doubles and two
singles and four runs batted in.
Randy Tieman had three
doubles and Dave Parsons
connected for three singles. Gary
Hartman had a pair and single
hits came from the bats of Bob
Hoffman, Jim Hoffman, Gary
Gibson and Perry Stover.
Stover pitched for the winners,
while Dave Schilbe and Jim Pfaff
shared the beating.
Kevin McKinnon had two hits
for the losers and hitting safely
once were Dick Bedard, Rick
Schilbe and Charrette.
In the final league game,
Sunday, the Tigers posted a 3-2
win over Arva in a game called
after six innings due to rain.
The Tigers scored in the top of
the first on a walk to Bob Hoff-
man and a double by John Hayter
and added another in the second
Crediton bantams
ready for playoffs
The Crediton bantams tuned up
for their WOAA playoffs this
week when they eked out an
exciting 2-1 margin over
Wingham in a regularly
scheduled contest.
The winners started on their
way with a single tally in the
second frame when Perry and
Paul Pooley hit back-to-back
singles, with the former plating
the run.
They added another tally in the
sixth when Paul Pooley pounded
out a long triple and was
promptly singled home by Brian
Rader.
That proved to be the insurance
tally as Wingham rebounded for
their lone marker in the seventh
when Ron Johnston unloaded a
double and came home on a
ground-out.
The Pooley twins shared the
pitching win, with Perry coming
on in relief of Paul in the
bottom of the sixth.
Paul Pooley was the hitting
star of the contest with two
singles and his triple, while
Randy Parsons and Randy
Fisher had two singles each.
Other hits came off the bats of
Richard Webb, Perry Pooley and
Brian Rader.
Wingham picked up only three
hits and seven batters were
called out on strikes.
Crediton will face Palmerston
in the first round of playoffs. The
first game was played last night
in Crediton and the second games
goes in Palmerston on Friday.
If the third game is needed in
the best-of-three set, it will be
played in Crediton Sunday af-
ternoon with starting time at 2:00
p.m.

Ugly rumours
Last week's sports column, if one can stretch the defini-
tion, contained some rather rotten insinuations regarding
my knowledge of the world of sports. Since I was to do a
"guest" column for the vacationing Ross Haugh this week,
Editor Bill suggested that the only sport I was familiar with
was girl watching at the beach in Grand Bend.
I was naturally more than a lit-
tle hurt and in order to keep my
reputation clear from such
blemishes, I searched the Grand
Bend area for activities of a spor-
ting nature. Since the focal point
of Grand Bend is its sandy beach,
it was here that I concentrated
my sporting thoughts and luckily,
was able to capture the action.
Proving my observant nature
and eager attraction to the spor-
ting world, I thought I would
publish this picture as an exam-
ple of athletic endeavours which
take place in Grand Bend and in
my opinion, beach balls are
easier to catch on film than some
puffing soccer buff.
Alas, it's true. My knowledge of
the sports world is pretty well
confined to shinney and since
Editor Bill cooled off with the
Canadiens at the Huron Park
Hockey School in his column last
week, my choice of subjects is
restricted to hot weather games.
Tennis popularity booms
Tennis continues to gain in popularity in the area. One
set of tennis lessons is drawing to a close and round robin
tournaments for those taking place in the lessons were held.
Finals took place Wednesday with the top three winners in
each series playing off. '
The idea behind the tournament is that a person learns
best by doing and those taking the lessons will have a
chance to put their new talents into action, according to
rec director Jim McKinlay.
Derrick Chin, tennis instructor for the recreation
program, expects to hold another round robin late in August
when the second series of lessons is completed. The set
starts August 4 and ha's two full classes for the evenings and
one class for the afternoon.
In total, about 50 adults have registered for tennis,
lessons this summer which is rather surprising since there
was no program last year.
Rec director Jim McKinlay says it is mainly because of
the time factor. A half hour is plenty for a good workout at
the tennis courts while a game of golf requires two or three
hours. Also, there is little to buy in the way of equipment.
The youngsters seem to be catching on to tennis in a big
way too. There are 16 kids registered for lessons in the 13-17
age group and 19 in the 8-12 age group.
"We're very pleased. It's off to a good start and one of
the reasons is that we have a competent instructor to get
things going for us." said Mr. McKinlay. "First im-
pressions are important in any sport and Derrick is doing a
good job for us."
One of the problems originating from the courts is
scheduling. Since the courts are public, some tennis players
are experiencing difficulties getting on the courts for a
game as unthoughtful players sometimes hog a court for an
entire evening.
"We've got a solution for that as soon as our schedule is
approved," said Mr. McKinlay.
Once the schedule showing the times for lessons, club
activities and public time is posted, tennis players will be
allowed to reserve court time by signing up on the schedule
at the courts. If players arrive on time to find someone else
on the courts, they are quite within their rights to ask for
the reserved court.
The schedule has 16 hours set aside for instruction, 28
hours for the newly formed Exeter Tennis Club and 61 hours
of open time.
"We're encouraging people to join the club and take ad-
vantage of reserved time, prime time too," added Mr.
McKinlay. He mentioned that five mornings a week from
six to nine the courts will be reserved for club use. "Anyone
can join the club. It's not a snob thing just a good group of
people helping get tennis off the ground here,"
There will be some social aspects to club membership
however, the first of which, a wine and cheese party at Pat
and Ron Cottrell's will be held Saturday, August 9. Anne
Dingwell is sending invitations to all registered members.
Mosport — maybe someday!
Once again this summer, youngsters will have a chance
to build their own soap box and compete in the big soap box
derby race on September 1. The event will be held starting
at 10 a.m. at the Andrew Street hill beside the swimming
pool in Exeter.
Competitors will be divided into categories of 8-10 years
and 11-16 years. Boys and girls will have separate heats.
Entry forms will be appearing in the T-A later in the
summer so be sure and clip one out and send it in.
Last year, Randy Bowers of Crediton cleaned up in the
races. Bowers won the 8-10 class while Rob Smith won the
boys 11-16. Bowers won in a run-off. In the girls 11-16, Liz
Giffin of Exeter was the winner. There weren't too many
entries in the girls last year and the organizers would like to
see more take part, particularly in International Women's
Year,
Last year the derby caused quite a stir. Seventeen cars
were entered and about125 spectators lined the hill to watch
the event.
Cross country biking
A new activity will be available this year if plans
presently being put together for a cross country bike race
triateialiZe.
Rec director Jim Mcl<inlay told the T-A that a group of
youngsters approached him about a bicycle cross-country
and set about to plan their own event with his blessing, The
Course will include such things as jumps and water hazards
and sounds like a rally on two wheels, Final details Will be
set before the RAP committee on August 11,
two thirds and Scott Jamieson
had one second and, a third, The
four teamed up to easily win the
relay event with margin of over
nine seconds on the Goderich
competitors.
In the 11 and 12 boys, Rick
Lindenfield had two firsts and
one second. Ian Sweet and Steve
Horn picked up one first each,
with the latter also scoring a
third. Rich Fletcher and Dave
Bell had one second and one third
each.
Lindenfield, Fletcher, Bell and
on a walk to Jim Hoffman and a
safety by Jim Dietrich,
The winning tally came in the
top of the fifth when John Hayter
connected for a homer.
Arva sawed both their runs in
the last of the fifth and had
runners on second and third when
centre fielder Gary Hartman
made a sensational catch to halt
the rally and preserve the win for
Dashwood.
Jim Guenther was on the
mound for the winners.
Simpson is
best bowler
Harold ,Simpson came out as
the leading bowler in this week's
jitneys at the Exeter lawn
bowling club.
He ended up in first place in
Tuesday's outing with two wins, a
plus of 15 and aggregate of 34,
good for a tie with Edith Love.
Saturday night, Simpson
placed second.
Followingthe two top teams in
Tuesday's games were John
Wilson, Mabel McKnight, Anna
Ballantyne and Wes Watson.
The winner ahead of Simpson
on Saturday was Nelson Squire,
with two wins, a plus of 20 and
aggregate of 44, Simpson had an
aggregate of 41.
Behind them were Leone
Brock, Clarence Down, Edna
Caldwell, Mabel McKnight and
Bill Etherington.
Winner in Thursday's action
was Leone Brock, with two wins,
a plus of 11 and aggregate of 24.
Charlie Hendy placed second
with Anna Ballantyne in third.
Completing the top six were
Lawrence Wein, Edna Caldwell
and a tie between Ari Benndyke
and Marinus Marsman.
Horn then teamed up .to win the
relay event in one of the most
convincing victories of the day.
They beat two of the other teams
by two full lengths of the pool and
came within a few feet of doing
the same to the second place
team.
In the boys' events for 13 and
14-year-olds, Doug Raymond
came home in front in the back
crawl and was second in breast
stroke. Dave Atthill won the
butterfly and was second in the
free style.
Brenda Waldeck was the top
Exeter swimmer in the eight and
under girls, with four consecutive
first place finishes. Nancy
Brooks leads
Crediton nine
Paul Brooks came up with two
stellar pitching performances
over the past week to lead
Crediton midgets to a pair of
WOAA victories.
Brooks came on in the second
inning of both games to help his
mates post a 7-3 win over
Listowel, Friday, and a come-
from-behind 6-4 victory over
Wingham on the Crediton
diamond, Sunday.
Wingham scored four times in
the first frame in Sunday's tilt
before Brooks shut them out over
the final six innings. He recorded
14 strikeouts in facing only 20
batters.
The winners scored three times
in the bottom of the first. Dan
Heywood walked, Brooks singled
and the bases were loaded with a
walk to Ken Govers. Doug
Osgood, Larry Ryan and Dale
Dinney then smacked out
singles.
Consecutive singles by Brooks,
Govers and Chandler in the
second frame accounted for,
another tally to knot the count
and the teams battled on even
grounds through to the sixth.
Larry Ryan reached first in
that one after being hit by a pitch
and singles by Dinney, Graham
Kadey and Heywood produced
the two runs.
In addition to getting the win,
Brooks paced Crediton at the
plate with three singles. Govers
and Dinney had two each, and
each player in the lineup except
one had at least one single.
In the Listowel contest, Brooks
fanned 13 batters in his six in-
nings and gave up only four hits.
His mates pounded out eight
hits, including two each by
Govers, Dinney and Kadey.
Single safeties came off the bats
of Heywood and Doug Mclsaac.
Crediton spotted their hosts a
three-run lead and then came up
with four tallies in the fourth and
salted the game away with three
in the seventh.
It is the shadows of life that make
us human.
Jill Tuckey had two firsts for
the girls 13. and 14,, while Liz
Giffin had two firsts for the over
15. They combined with Lynne
Mercer and Lynne Brooks to win
the 15 and over 200 medley relay
and also the free style relay,
Val Sweet scored a second and
third in the same age division to
round out the scoring for the
female contingent.
