The Royals opened the best-of- seven series at Exeter Com- munity Park Sunday night with a 6-2 victory but Lieury bounced back with a decisive 8-0 win on their home field Tuesday night, The third game is scheduled for the Exeter park tonight, Thur- sday, with the fourth contest in Lieury Sunday and the fifth back in Exeter Tuesday night. All games will get underway at 9 p,m. The Royals reached the finals by eliminating the Lucan Irish and Lieury edged Nairn 2-1 in a deciding game to qualify for the championship round, In Tuesday's 8-0 romp, Lieury opened with a six run outburst in the bottom of the first inning. Lloyd Mathers led off with a triple, Steve Hemming followed with a double, Les Drury was safe on an error, Glenn Thomp- son doubled and Tom Daley cleared the bases with a home run, The winners added a single run in the second inning when Glenn Thompson tripled and scored on an Exeter fielding miscue, The final 'score came in the fourth. Glenn Robinson blasted a long home run to deep right centre field. • Bob Robinson was on the mound for Lieury and allowed only one hit to the Royals while recording nine strikeouts. Gord Mauer was the starter for Exeter but he needed relief help from Brian Hodgins in the first inning when the Lieury bats were boominglRon Masonicame on in the fourtli t and finished up. In total the Royals pitchers gave up six hits and fanned 10 opposing batters. In the opening game of the series, Sunday, Lieury scored the first run of the game in the first inning as Steve Hemming singled solidly to left field. Tom Daley followed with another single and with two out Paul Hodgins , grounder to deep short scored Hemming.

Guy `Lombardo and his band will be appearing at the Huron Park recreation hall on Monday, September 27, Guy, who was born in London, Qntario is well known as a speed boat enthusiast and is a member of the Unlimited Hydroplane Division of the American Power Boat Associa- tion even though his racing days are far behind. As a racing chairman for an occasional big event and full time racing buff, Lombardo is in frequent contact with drivers, builders and officials. Guy has been on a crusade to stop what he calls the massacre on the water. "I've lost seven good friends in power boat crashes in recent years," he exclaimed sadly. "There's a way to stop it. It's time to quit using exotic fuels and make hot rod modifications on the engines. These engines are powerful enough just the way the manufacturer built them. When one becomes airborne, there is not a thing you can do about it, It's like a barn door caught in a tor- nado." "The Alison engine was designed for U.S. fighter planes in World War II. The Merlin was used in the British spit- fire." "Both can move a boat up to 150 m.p.h. on a smooth straightaway," he says. "You can run into trouble at those speeds, but still there's a thin line of safety present. We had spills in the old days but no casualties due to boats flying." The worst day ever for unlimited hydros was June 19th, 1966, when Musson, Manchester and Wilson were killed on the Potomac in Washington. Masson died when his Miss Bardhal nosed over and dis- integrated during an early heat of the President's Cup Race. Later in the day Manchester's Notre Dame became airborne and collided with Wilson's Miss Budweiser. Both men died. "That was my birthday and a sad one, losing three friends like them. And then Chuck Thompson was killed right after that in the Gold Cup." As chairman of a racing committee in Washington recently, Lombardo presented the President's Cup to the winner, Colonel Warner Gardiner. Two weeks later Gar- diner flipped in Miss Eagle Electric during the running of the Gold Cup at Detroit and later died of his injuries. "The Colonel was number seven in two years," says Guy, when you add to the list of fatalities the names of Donald Campbell and Bill Brow. Lombardo, who won the Gold Cup in 1946 and came out of retirement in 1952 to win the President's Cup and Silver Cup, Insists unlimited hydroplanes are producing far higher casualties than.auto racing since big 'business began' to dominate the sport and engine-tinkering became common practice. "They're getting almost double the horsepower than the manufacturer specified for the standard Alison and Rolls Royce Merlin engines," says Guy, "and boats are on the ragged edge all the time." Music is his business and even in that is a hint of racing. Donald Campbell's widow, Tonia Bern-Campbell, is his special guest artist for his current tour. Tonia learned about speed boat racing from .her late husband, who still holds the land and sea speed boat records. As for Guy, he'll keep bugging them all, he says, until something is done to limit the unlimiteds. An interesting drive For the many area residents who failed to participate in Sunday's car rally they really missed an interesting afternoon. Besides learning how to follow instructions from some navigators who had problems following SIMPLE instruc- tions, the drivers found some Huron County roads they didn't know existed. Only one or two cars travelled the minimum of 54 miles on the path laid out by Am Mathers and his South Huron recreation committee. We know of cars that covered as much as 94 miles try- ing to find home base, just west of Belgrave. Our editor friend in the office next door went some 76 miles and also enjoyed a short visit to the Blyth Threshers Reunion. Seriously, it was an interesting afternoon and a very pleasant drive through parts of Huron which we had never explored. To keep the record straight our mileage to cover the route was 61 miles. That was probably about the seventh best record. Ron Helm was the winner with Maurice Love a close second. We hope the organizers can put together another challenging, though provoking route again in the near future, Smart as a fox The recent change of managers by the management of the Montreal Expos may not bring the club out of its doldrums and the National league cellar but it has shown what different tactics can be used. Newly installed field boss Charlie Fox showed somewhat different strategy in last Wednesday's televised game. When the Expos batted back from what appeared to be an unsurmountable 7-1 deficit to go ahead 8-7 Fox went for his best in the bull pen. Fox brought the veteran Woody Fryman in as a reliever and the cagey left hander did the job asked of him. It was the first relief chore of the year for Fryman who has turned out to be the Expos most reliable starter. The move by Fox to bring in Fryman is whole heartedly endorsed by this writer. We feel that more managers should send their top pitchers in to try and save a game despite the fact they may be winning starters. Situations are bound to crop up when each team's best should be used, We don't suggest that a top-notch pitcher should be used each time a tough situation comes up but there are times especially in stretch drives when this move could pay off. It was encouraging to hear of Mark Fidrych picking up his 16th victory of the season as the Detroit Tigers blanked the New York Yankees 6-0 in Sunday's first game. Fidrych could now conceivably reach the 20 game vic- tory mark in his first big league season. That would be a terrific accomplishment for a rookie pitcher who started the season in the minors.

The proposed 10 team Junior "D" western division ,of the Ontario' Hockey Association for the coming -season will not become a reality. The entry from Lambeth which was dormant for one year but expected to return for this'season was officially withdrawn at a league meeting held in Lucan, Monday night. Previous plans had called for the league to be divided into two divisions of five clubs apiece and the winner of each group would advance to provincial playdowns. To allow two teams to go on in OHA playoffs in the spring, the league executive agreed to operate as nine teams in one grouping but have two divisions for playoff purposes. With eight teams qualifying for A league meeting will be held Monday night, September 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lucan Legion to draw up the upcoming schedule. At the latest meeting, the executive agreed that all players of the now defunct Lambeth team would be divided among teams in the southern area,
