The Irish struck for two runs in News from the Courts By Art Whilsmith A girls and boys Junior tennis tournament is scheduled for this Sunday, June 5, at 1 p.m. A notice has been posted on the bulletin board at the courts for any junior to sign up for this event. We hope to have all our juniors out for this first tournament of the season. Tennis Tips When you bring your racket back to stroke the ball, keep it low, never up above your shoulders. Keep your other arm out in front of you to give you proper balance. When your racket goes back, your racket hand should be laid back so that the racket is at right angles to your arm. Then, When you stroke forward to meet the ball your wrist straightens out. This action is much the same as when a ballplayer catches a ball, his hand is laid back at a nearly right angle position to his arm, and when he throws it, he straightens his wrist out. Your serve is done in the same man- ner.

The basically young Crediton team turned in a good per- formance for all but one inning. They allowed the experienced Thorndale Angels to score eight times in the sixth inning on the way to a 12-2 victory. The Crediton club will be in action three times this week. Friday night they will be in Dash- wood to meet the Tigers at 8 p.m. and Saturday afternoon they travel to Thorndale for a return engagement with the Angels. Monday night the Dashwood Tigers will be in Crediton to take on the Mets. Game time is 9 p.m. Rick Bowers went the first four innings on the mound for Crediton and allowed Thorndale to score two runs and three hits while striking out four opposing batters. Larry Clarke took over for the balance of the game and was the victim of the eight run Thorndale barrage in the top of the sixth inning. The Mets were able to pick up only three hits. Keith Davey singled in the first inning but was picked off first base. Larry Clarke singled with one out in the Crediton seventh and scored on a couple of walks and an error. The second and final Crediton score came in the ninth when Bill Hodge opened with a single, moved up on walks to Rick Bowers and Paul Truemner and scored on a sacrifice by Pete Wuerth. 1111111 III non llllll immoliommonammu Suzuki Goes the .2 distance from the RM80 to the GS750 E.: =FU LL r GULLI SPORTS & RECREATION LIMITED = = Verne Onto'," NOM 2R0 Dm! 519.262.5809 72, 011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110 while Brian Hodgins also had a single for Exeter.

The Poplar Hill saints opened the scoring in the second inning as Jim Zavitz reached on an error arid scored on Ken Lewis's triple.

Poplar Hill again scored once in the fourth as Ken Lewis doubled and Ed Robb singled him home.

Crediton is being represented on the intermediate scene for the first time in close to 40 years. The Dashwood Tigers and Crediton Mets meet this weekend in a home and home series and we hope area fans will support these two clubs as they provide a good enter- taining brand of ball. The first game of the series will be played in Dashwood at 8 p.m. Friday night with the return contest in Crediton Monday night with game time set for 9 p.m. Costs of operating a baseball team keep rising each year and the only way this type of ball will survive is with the support of a large number of area fans. When we say it's about 40 years since intermediate baseball was played in Crediton that's strictly a guess. Batch Wolfe and Gerry Smith tells us they played on the older teams in their latter stages about 39 years ago. We read with interest an item in the Olden Times sec- tion of this paper last week telling of the return of in- termediate baseball to Dashwood 30 years ago. Time really flies as we were one of the players on that first team that was organized by Wally and Carl Wein, The first game of that season of 1947 was played on the May 24 holiday afternoon in Dashwood against the Lucan Irish and drew a crowd in excess of 1,000. Incidentally, the game was a close one with Lucan winning 18-14. Some of the other members of that first Dashwood team were Jack Gaiser, Harry Hayter, Lorne Kleinstiver, Carl Heideman, Gord Block, Lorne Haugh, Lloyd and Norm Durr. The Crediton Mets club this year. is made up of a com- bination of players from Zurich and Crediton. This will be of interest to the old timers in the two villages. Back in the 1920's to 1930's an intense rivalry existed in baseball circles between Crediton and Zurich. For several years each team brought in a pitcher and catcher from Detroit in an attempt to field the best team. New hockey rules A decision made last week at the annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association will affect a lot of players in the near future. All minor hockey players below senior and in- termediate categories will be forced to wear face guards the season after the Canadian Standards Association ap- proves a guard. Cliff e Phillips of Newmarket, the CAHA vice-president for minor hockey urged mandatory use of face guards. He said 41 hockey players were declared medically blind after incidents in hockey games this season. The year before 57 players were blinded. Phillips was also instrumental in retaining an automatic game misconduct penalty for anyone assessed a major penalty for fighting. The CAHA rules committee had recommended drop- ping the game misconduct for fighting and other penalties such as slashing, hooking or highsticking above the neck. Under another rule, all players not involved in a fight will be required to go to the front of their benches or to a neutral zone designated by the referee. This will allow the linesmen to concentrate on ending the fight underway without worrying about another one breaking out among other players. A game misconduct will be handed out to the goaltender or any other player who does not obey the referee's instruc- tion. A close vote resulted in a rule which will attempt to make young hockey players keep their sticks on the ice. This rule will outlaw slapshots and other shots that re- quire lifting the stick above the waist either on the windup or the follow through.. A minor penalty will be called when the stick comes higher than the waist on a shot at or under the pee wee age level. Some other rule changes give the referee more leeway in stopping play when there is suspicion that a player has sustained senior injury. A match penalty will be handed out to a player who grabs a facemask, helmet or chin strap of another player to injure that player. The rule to abolish slap shots at the younger minor level appears to be a good one. These are the categories when a lot of habits are established by the youngsters.. This should help a lot in keeping sticks on the ice where they should be. A lot of goals are missed because sticks are not on the ice. Superstitions? Do you get out of the way of a black cat, avoid going un- der a ladder or fear breaking a mirror? These may be common superstitions but they are low key compared to those practiced by a number of athletes. Golfer Tom Weiskopf never goes out on the course without three pennies and the same number of tees in his pocket. Some baseball players would rather walk barefoot through fire than step on a foul line. They regard white chalk as if it was poison ivy. Certain basketball players are known to bounce the ball, dip their knees, twirl the ball, spin it back to them and then, and only then will they shoot a free throw. Moose Dupont demands that the starting goalie taps him back with the stick as Moose skates by and gives the goalie a whack. Every room Bernie Parent enters he must touch one of the walls with his right forefinger. Bobby Orr, when he isn't undergoing knee surgery must .be seventh in line coming out of the locker room, but first he must tap each mate on the foot with his stick. Twice. Leaf captain Darryl Sittler laughs when talking about coach Red Kelly's superstitions, "Pyramids - how many hockey teams are there in Egypt." But, Sittler admits to having a rabbit's foot and a lucky suit.
