We had the pleasure to accompany the Exeter squirts soccer team to Troy, Michigan, Sunday as they competed in the North American Midget Cup. Very few of the parents of the Michigan boys knew where Exeter was. They were surprised to learn that the popula- tion was only 3,200 with an excellent soccer team. Although, the local youngsters lost their first game of the season by a 3-0 score they put up a terrific effort and in the second half carried the play continually. The population of Troy located near Pontiac is 100,000 and the soccer team is chosen from 120 eligible boys. The hospitality shown by the Troy management and parents was excellent and we will be looking forward to go- ing back again on September 21 when the local atom team heads over for a tournament. Exeter soccer group president Damien Solomon has in- vited a Troy team to participate in the 1976 Centennial Cup tournament which is set for July 1. Time to celebrate We understand a birthday party at the A & H Food Market in Exeter Saturday night may have had some influence on the Detroit Tigers coming out of their long losing streak. Twin brothers Howard and Harold Holtzmann actually celebrated their 50th birthdays Sunday, but a group of employees and friends decided on the Saturday celebration. The Holtzmann's are the top Detroit Tiger fans in this area, next of course to Batch Wolfe, We are sure the birth- day wishes filtered across the border and helped the Tigers win for the first time in 20 games. The Tigers with or without local help really snapped their loss skein and at the time of writing had chalked up three straight wins. In fact in their Saturday and Sunday games with Oakland the Tigers outscored their opposition 15-0, When we were in Troy, Michigan Sunday with the Exeter squirts soccer team the conversation with a Michigan cou- ple got around to the Tiger losing streak. They told us that a poll in a Detroit paper indicated about 75 per cent of Tiger fans wanted the team to go on to set a losing record. In talking about the Tigers, they said the Detroit baseball fans have to be the mast loyal in either league as they con- tinue to support a losing cause. While speaking about Detroit sports, we had an opportuni- ty to have a quick look at the new stadium in Pontiac, Michigan which will be the new home of the Detroit football Lions. Only a few days ago workmen were still busily engaged in attempts to get the stadium ready for the first Lions game scheduled for this Saturday. At that time only about three-quarters of the artificial turf had been laid. A worker at the scene told us the turf was only about a quarter of an inch thick but the underlay was several inches thick. The Pontiac stadium with three decks will have seats for 80,400 spectators and a dome roof and controlled temperatures for all games. The seats are painted a bright blue. A successful season This summer season which is quickly coming to a close has been a very successful one for minor baseball teams in Crediton. Of four teams entered in Western Ontario Athletic Association leagues, two already have won their WOAA titles one more is tied at two games apiece in a best-of-five series and one club has been eliminated. The Crediton bantams and juveniles have clinched their championships while the midgets are battling for another title, A lot of credit should go to the coaches who spend a lot of time, energy and monies in helping the kids enjoy their favorite summer pastime. Special mention should go to fellows like Lorne Presz- cator, Don Finkbeiner, Russell Clarke, Harold Borden, Fred Bowers, Wilmar Wein and Bob Osgood for their special efforts. A busy weekend coming up The Labour Day weekend in Exeter promises to provide a lot of excitement and entertainment for young and old. Saturday and Sunday, August 30 and 31 are the dates for the eleventh annual Exeter rodeo. A show will be held each afternoon at 2 p.m. A little extra attraction has been added with the entry of an eleven year-old Saskatoon girl in the Little Britches calf riding contest, Art Clarke received the entry from Pamela Armstrong of the western city this week. The western entry should stimulate more interest in local entries, The Little Britches test is open to both boys and girls 12 years of age and under. It is operated by the local rodeo directors. This year for the first time all other events of the rodeo have been contracted to Mel Wakefield. In past years he has supplied most of the stock for the rodeo. This year he will also be responsible for the entries. A popular feature at the 1974 rodeo the Oshweken Indians led by chief Jacob Sky will be back again. This time they will come in Larger numbers and bring more displays. On Labour Day, Monday, September 1, the youngsters of Exeter get a chance to compete in two different events. In the morning on the hill by the swimming pool, the se- cond annual soap box derby will be held. Last year's overall champion Handy Bowers of Crediton is expected back to de- fend his title. The afternoon event to be held at Exeter Community park will be a bicycle moth-cross, Boys and girls will be able to col fete in three different age classifications, The three groups are nine to eleven years, l2 and 13 years of age and from 14 to 16 years, Hi-rise or standard bikes will only be allowed with wheels no larger than 26 inches. They are to be one or three speeds only, All participants must wear helmets and long pants. Trophies will be provided for the winners. The Crediton juveniles won the Western Ontario Athletic Association juvenile cham- pionship Sunday afternoon they bested Mitchell 20-18 in a marathon battle. The Crediton youngsters had little trouble in disposing of Mitchell 14-1 in the first game of the best-of-three series. The first opponent in OBA playoffs has not yet been determined. Two runs in the top of the ninth enabled Crediton to take Sun- day's game and the title, Matt Muller and Ron Bowers delivered singles to send Larry Clarke and Bruce Hodge home with the winning runs in the ninth, Tigers ready for OBA play The Dashwood Tigers will be meeting Chesley in the first round of Ontario Baseball Association "D" playoffs. Manager Jack Schade said Wednesday morning that final arrangements had not been completed but he expected the series would probably start Sunday in Chesley. In Huron-Perth playdowns the Tigers scored a 6-3 victory over the Clinton Colts. The second game was played last night, Wednesday in Dashwood. Jim Guenther led the Dash- wood team to the win over Clinton. The big left hander held the usually strong hitting Clinton team to three runs and struck out 15 along the way. Guenther helped his own cause with a home run, double and two singles. His two-bagger in the third inning sent Dave Parsons home with the first Dashwood marker. In the fifth it was a similar situation with Parsons drawing a walk and scoring on Guenther's hit. A sixth frame run scored when Jim Hoffman doubled and came around to count. In the seventh Randy Tieman's double sent Dave Parsons and John Hayter over the plate and the final run for the winners came in on the ninth on Guen- ther's bases empty home run. It was the high point of the Sunday sermon and the preacher was describing Judgment Day. "Thunder will roar, flames will shoot from the heavens, floods, storms, earthquakes will devastate the world." Wide-eyed, the little boy in the fifth row turned to his Mother and whispered :"Mom, will I get out of school?" 111111111111111 iiiii 111111 lllll 111111111111111/11MIMM111 Trophies 50% Off Engraving Black lettering and script now available For an your sporting 'jackets, sweaters and equipment see Larry Clarke led the Crediton team to victory. He slammed out five singles in six trips to the plate and came on in pitching relief striking out the side in the eighth and ninth innings. Next in line in the hitting parade for Crediton with three hits apiece were Bruce Hodge and Rodger Finkbeiner. Getting two hits apiece were Keith Davey, Kevin Bestard and Brian Taylor. Noel Skinner added a double. Midgets even in playoff The Crediton midgets bounced back this week with two victories to tie their best-of-five Western Ontario Athletic Association series at two games apiece. After dropping the first two games, Crediton scored a 6-2 win in Wingham, Thursday and came back with a 7-5 decision in Crediton Sunday to force the fifth and deciding game. In the first Crediton win Paul Brooks held the Wingham club to only two runs and the same number ' of hits recording 16 strikeouts. He sent the opposition down one-two-three in five straight innings. Crediton scored three times in the second inning. The base hits responsible for the scoring were Mark Chandler's single and a triple from the bat of Paul Shapton. In the fifth, Paul Brooks doubled and came home on Larry Ryan's single, Rick Govers doubled in the seventh and counted on Tom Hayter's single. The final Crediton marker crossed the plate in the eighth when Dan Heywood was safe on an error and Ken Govers singled. In Sunday's game, Crediton scored four times in the second inning and were able to maintain the lead throughout. A pair of walks and singles by Doug Osgood, Graham Kadey and Dan Heywood produced the first four Crediton runs, In the fourth, Doug Mclsaac, Paul Shapton and Doug Osgood singled to chase two runs home and McIsaac walked and scored the final run for his team in the sixth. Doug Osgood led the Crediton team at the plate with four hits and four runs batted in. Sharing pitching duties for Crediton were Dan Heywood and Paul Brooks. In the first game of the series neither team was able to score in the first four inningspf action but Crediton scored once in the fifth and clinched the issue with six big markers in the sixth. Rodger Finkbeiner's single sent Larry Clarke home with the first run. Four base hits chased the half dozen runs home in the sixth. Larry Clarke's triple was the big blow while Keith Davey, Rodger Finkbeiner, Noel Skinner added singles. In the seventh Kevin Bestard's double along with singles by Rodger Finkbeiner, Noel Skin- ner, Brian Taylor and Perry Preszcator sent two more runs across. The five run outburst in the Crediton eighth was powered by singles by Noel Skinner and Rodger Finkbeiner. Larry Clarke went the distance on the mound for Crediton holding the Mitchell club to a single hit while sending 17 op- position batters down swinging. The Exeter squirts soccer team despite a Weekend lose in Troy, Michigan have been rated as the sixth best team in Canada and are number 20 in all of North America, In North American Midget Cup competition, the Exeter club in losing 3.0 to their Michigan op- ponents were eliminated. In. Was the first loss of the season for the Exeter youngsters. They played a strong game Sunday, especially in the last half hut were unable to beat Harold Sehaamming in the Troy goal. The locals got off to a had start in the early moments of the game when a kick going wide of the Exeter net was deflected in by a defender. Coach Dave Silcock rallied his charges •at half time and they came roaring to the offensive to carry about 80 percent of the play in the final thirty minutes of play. The Exeter team along with Bristol, Virginia has been named "teams of the year" in North America and have received an invitation to travel to England during the 1976 school break to participate in exhibition games and work out with a professional team .
