Royals beat Chesley 12- 7 on three inning burst; Hayter hits grand slam allowed Parsons on. With the bases loaded, Jim Hayter came up and powered a drive into left field for his grand slam run. He was followed by Jim Geunther, Thurman and Jim Hoffman, who again loaded the bases. Gary Hartman drove all three in when he doubled. Hart- man was thrown out at third base. The Tigers picked up two more runs in the sixth when Hayter tripled and was driven in by a single from the bat of Brad Gregus. Schade was hit by a JOHN GILLESPIE gave it all he had during the recreation league ball game between his team, the Guess Who, and the Firemen, but the throw got to Fireman first bagger Pete McFalls before Gillespe got to the base.

The Exeter Royals scored four runs in the first inning and four in the third inning on their way to defeating Ailsa Craig 8-4 in Exeter Tuesday night. Ailsa Craig opened the scoring in the first inning when Ryerson, the first batter for Ailsa Craig, tapped pitcher Gord Mauer for a hit. He later scored. The Royals got on the scoresheet when Jack Glover doubled. Doug Pearson, Bill Farqu,har and Terry Bourne all hit and came across the plate. Mauer, who hit a triple, and Scott Burton, with a double, were left on base at the end of the in- ning. Ailsa Craig picked up another run in the second when Thomson scored to narrow the gap to 4-2. The Royals after a scoreless second, finished off their scoring in the third when they went through the entire batting order. Burton led off with a single, was followed by Bierling, who went for two and Paul McKnight, who picked up a single. All three eventually scored. Jack Glover also scored in the third, after singling and being rountiPaFei' Planning for this year's summer season has already begun. The Playground staff have scheduled many of the ,activities which are to take place during the course of the summer. Such events as the annual campout and this year's Penny Carnival, bus trips and a soap box derby are only a few of the activities which will be taking place this summer. The people who are helping to make this possible are the playground staff. This year the staff consists of five members, Marion Adams, Tracy Campbell and Laura Johns are returning from last year's staff. Liz Deichert and Elaine Overholt are new to the Exeter staff but both have had past experience in playground. This year's program has been changed in that the playgrounds will be four weeks in length beginning July 19 to August 13. The two weeks preceding playground July 5 to July 16 and the week after playground August 16 to August 20 will be used for a program of special events. During this time any child may participate in any of the events. Registration for the four weeks of playground will, be at the Exeter Public school on July 17 from 7:00 p,m. to 9:00 p.m..

Jim Guenther picked up the win for the Tigers, going just over five innings and giving up only four hits. In the process, he fanned five batters and walked seven.Bill Schade finished off the game, allowing no hits, striking out one and walking two. Dashwood had 12 hits for 12 runs and committed two errors, Chesley scored seven runs on their four hits. All of the Tigers runs came in a three inning span, from the fourth to sixth. In the fourth inning, Bob Hoffman started things off when he singled. Jim Dietrich sent him to second when he walked and Dave Parsons pushed both of them ahead one base on his single. Then the Chesley pitcher got generous, walking John Hayter who sent Hoffman in, walking Glen Thurman for Dietrich to score and giving up another walk to John Hoffman that let Parsons come across. The fifth inning was the Tiger's explosive inning ,whenthey picked up seven runs. Bob Hoffman led off again with another single. Dietrich reached base on a single and an error Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER All the major tire companies are working on a good sub- stitute for the spare tire.

Centenmai cup The Exeter Centennial Soccer Club will again be holding the Centennial Cup tournament this year. They plan to stage the tour- nament on the July 1 weekend. Last year eight teams entered the tournament, and the club is hoping for more this year. Blunt people can . get to the point very quickly. by Fred Youngs Bobby Orr has successfully raffled off his talents for another season, despite his recurring knee problems and the fact he will probably be operated on before the regular season starts again. It could be that the management in St. Louis and Chicago know something we don't know about Orr's physical condition (quite likely) but for all intent and purposes, the purchase of Bobby Orr (it can be called little else) will be a poor investment for two fringe teams who are trying to build a Stanley Cup winner around one man. Orr played this year, in fact he played more than 10 games. However, when you add up all the games he missed and all the money the Bruins management has laid out for him to watch from rinkside, it doesn't make sense. And his purchase by another team makes little sense. The single most essential joints on any hockey player are his knees. The focal point of the leg and without strong legs and hardy knees, a hockey player is nothing. Bobby Orr is gambling his legs will hold out; the team that signs him is gambling they will hold out and Alan Eagleson is hoping they'll hold out until the next time contract renegotiation comes around. It doesn't really matter though. Orr will take in his requested $500,000 a season whether he plays or not. What will happen is every team in the league will be gunning for Bobby Orr and they will all be aiming at his knees. Orr has been a natural target for his whole career, since he jumped into the NHL as the whiz-kid he was through to this past season. He has won every conceivable award, he holds dozens of records. People would go to a game just to see Bobby Orr and forget that there were other men on the team as well. He has been a one-man, walking advertisement for the game and this is his last chance; cut- down because of bad knees. It would have been ludicrous for the Bruins to resign their shining star again this year. Last season they finished first in their division; they bombed in the playoffs, but they put up a respectable showing and now, what seemed to be a trade for the worse, when they sent Esposito to New York in turn for Park, make more sense than ever. Certainly, they got the better end of the deal, but it was more than a straight player exchange; it was foresight and calculated planning. The Bruins knew they weren't going to resign Orr at his asking price. Certainly they might have, had he come down from the astronomical figure he was asking but they weren't about to pay him, let's say, about $50,000 a game. That means if he scored five goals, he would end up being worth $100,000 a goal. Those are expensive goals. So they traded away what is generally considered to be the strongest slot man in hockey. Sure, Esposito's goals are garbage goals, but they all counted. In return, they got the second defenceman (but not by much) in the league who has toiled well playing in front of and behind the blueline. Indeed, if Bobby Orr signs with someone else, the Bruins won't be the losers. They expected it and they planned for it. They would have taken him back, but at $500,000 a season? On those knees? I still think the Hawks and the Blues have to be crazy. Lloyd's of London will charge one fat premium. + + + + While watching the Montreal Expos-Pittsburgh Pirates game last week, one thing this trained observer noticed was the natty little caps the Pirates were wearing. Tres chique fellows; those randy little numbers designed like a pillbox with black brim and striped crown. Very nice. Could this be the beginning of a new trend? Could there be a move to style in the major leagues? It all started with Bill Veek and his Chicago Cubs, when they were parading about in hot pants (a little much, dahlings, but still a change). If it is to be, then so be it. Anyway, for too long now the uniforms have all stayed the same for the professional athletes. Certainly they have to be utilitarian and rugged but this does not mean one of the pre-requisites for them is dullness. Actually, ball teams are of the team sports that could change their uniforms. Football and hockey require a little too much padding underneath. It conjures up all sorts of weird visions. Like sports fashion shows, with Curt Gowdy hosting it and something running like this: "Next up, we have Johnny Bench, of the Cincinnati Reds, in a very subtle shade of rouge designed by Pierre Cardin. Johnny's ensemble features a three piece suit in matching shades with cut-away legs in the pants and slash pockets in the jacket. Co-ordinated with a silk turtleneck jersey and patent spikes, Johnny can go from field to nightspot without stopping to change. Adaptable to both formal and field wear, the entire set comes with matching jewelry and velvet numbers and letters. Available in blues and greens as well, Pierre says it is his finest hour." + + + + The Boys of Summer have nothing on us, that's for sure. In a fit of madness, that totally belies my image, it struck me that the T-A should form a baseball team. I figured we would wallop the rec league this year, take on the Royals and the Dashwood Tigers next year before moving up to the pros no later than 1979. Then, about three years after entering the majors, we would walk away with the World Series and retire, famous people with our penthouse apartments, $400 suits and two Ferraris and a Bentley. My hopes were dashed the first night though. We all came out, and most of us even had gloves. We even had two bats. (Not bad eh? This was no slipshod effort). Anyway, we got thumped soundly (that's a tactful way of saying we were beaten 26-2) and that was the .end of my two Ferraris and Bentley. As it is, we made a comeback, since we couldn't get worse, by losing 9-6 to Hensall last Thursday. This could be a first (we might be famous yet) as we are the only team who can lose twice in a row and call the second loss a comeback. What is nice though, is our consistency. Nothing too shocking, like a victory or something that will throw us off our nicely developed pace. (You think it's easy losing don't you? Do you realize how long it took us to miss the balls and make it look like we were trying to catch them?) Anyway, on a serious note, it is good to be feeling the effects of a little exercise. The old bodies were feeling somewhat underused and abused so to speak. Maybe we'll even get around to doing something else physically taxing, but don't hold your breath. Anyway, this week, our opponents will be the Crescent Rolls, and now that we're hot, anything can happen and quite likely won't. pitch, sending Gregus to second and Thurman singled Gregus in to complete the scoring for the Tigers.
