John Hayter bashed out three hits and Rick Schilbe, Glenn Thurman, Kevin Bestard, Bob Hoffman, Dave Parsons and Perry Stover each collected two hits, Getting lone hits were Jim Hoffman, Joe O'Rourke, Jim Guenther and Doug Fairbairn, •Perry Stover was on the mound for Dashwood and held Thorndale to six hits while striking out 10 opposing batters, ood Old Summer Trio off to Stratford Three young men from Exeter have become valuable members of this year's edition of the Stratford junior baseball club. The three Paul Brooks and Paul and Perry Pooley played with Crediton minor teams the last couple of years. Brooks is one of the Stratford starting pitchers while Perry Pooley is the regular catcher and Paul Pooley has been taking a turn at shortstop. In addition, Paul Brooks was in London Saturday atten- ding a try-out camp of the Toronto Blue Jays. More Blue Jay chirps While mentioning the Toronto Blue Jays, we have several bits of information which appear to be rather in- teresting. While the Blue Jays have tailed off from an early 'suspicious start they have shown well in a couple of departments. First of all attendance at Toronto has been exceptional. In their first 25 home dates they have drawn an average crowd in excess of 22,000. Left handed pitcher Gerry Garvin in addition to seven victories appears well on the way to setting an American league record for the number of men picked off first base. To date, Garvin has caught 10 opposing runners napping at first. The record is believed to be held by left Bill Lee at 14 in 1974. Catcher Al Ashby has shown well in a defensive way. The last time we checked Ashby had thrown out 27 opposing runners who had aspirations of stealing second.

The winning team would receive a prize of $500. Minor hockey day was schedul- ed for December 3 and the novice tournament, which was dropped last year due to ice, will be held on December 26 and 27. Fees for the coming season will be $25 for houseleague players and $50 for all-star players. It was announced that ice time for the season will cost $7,500. Four dances were planned by the Association to help raise funds to finance the program. The fall training program will be held again this year, but the KEN SMITH POOLS 28 Mill St., Egmondville Phone Seofc rth 527-0469 • INGROUND POOLS • CONCRETE, FIBREGLAS • VINYL LINER • CHEMICALS • MAINTAINENCE • ABOVE GROUND POOLS • POOL ACCESSORIES • SAUNAS • WHIRLPOOL BATH Free Estimates Ron Bogart, Who was returned Wednesday night as president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association, said last season was "in general, quite successful, in view of the circumstances". He told the annual meeting that he hoped the program would be bigger and better when the Association moves into the new rec centre this season and that registrations will be up to their previous levels or better. Registrations dropped con- siderably last season when minor hockey had to move to Huron Park. Bogart suggested this was the main reason for the decline as many parents weren't prepared for the extra travel in- volved. Bogart said he hoped more parents would become involved in the Association this season and he said the retiring ex- ecntive recommended that more committees be established to draw more people into the various programs. Some of those committees would be for dances, fund rais- ing, various hockey tour- naments, socials, membership and equipment. In the election of officers con- ducted by past president Bev Skinner, the new first vice- president is Wayne Pearce and the second vice-president is Jim Pfaff. John McNeilly is the treasurer and Bill Batten was returned as secretary. The Shamrock league representative will be Arn Laithwaite, Centennials forceful for win over Lucan The Tigers were in Clinton last night, Wednesday to meet the Colts and will be at home in Dashwood Friday night at 8 p,m, to meet the same Clinton club. Strong pitching Southpaw Jim Guenther was in fine form Friday for the Tigers as he held the Crediton team to only four hits and they were spread over the last four innings. Guenther recorded a total of 18 strikeouts and was able to strike out the side in the fourth sixth, seventh and ninth innings. The Crediton hits were singles by lCim McKinnon, Rick Bowers and Steve Bedour and a double from the bat of Jeff O'Brien. The Tigers scored at least one The Dashwood Tigers found their batting strides in two Huron-Perth intermediate games this week as they chalked up wins by impressive scores. Thursday night in Thorndale the Tigers scored a 20-4 win over the Thorndale Angels, or maybe, it was 314. Dashwood scored 11 runs in the top of eighth inning but the game was called due to an umpire's curfew and the score reverted back to 20-4 at the end of the seventh. Friday night on their home field, the Tigers downed the newly organized Crediton Mets, 13-2. A return game in Crediton Monday night was postponed. Exeter fairgrounds will be the scene this Saturday of the annual Mid-Western Quarter Horse Show. Sponsorship of this popular event handled for quite a few years by the Exeter Kinsmen club has been taken over by the Exeter Saddle Club. Over the years this show continues to be one of the largest of its kind in the province of Ontario as far as the number of contestants is concerned. The saddle club is to be commended in getting behind the show along with many Exeter and area firms which are showing their support by providing trophies. Congratulations are also due the saddle club on the es- tablishment of their own show ring and other facilities at Huron Park. With the help of a $1,500 Wintario grant, a lighting system is being installed. Secretary Jack Malone tells us it is easier to operate shows during the evening in the summer months and the new lights will certainly add to the enjoyment of the many horse enthusiasts who are members of the Exeter saddle club, Getting back to Saturday's quarter horse show, the halter events will get underway at 8 a.m. with the more ex- citing performance classes going in the afternoon starting at 1 p.m. Afternoon classes include western riding, barrel races, pole bending and reining to name only a few. The judge for this year's show is Leon W. Losey of New York and the arena director will be Ron Swartz who has been around horse shows for many years. Dr. Gary Balsdon of Exeter will be the attending veterinarian, Wayne Gilbert of Granton will handle the an- nouncing chores and Joan Riseborough Hardie of London is the corresponding secretary. jme KAWASAKI Sales & Service A good move The recent announcement by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets that Jack Chipchase will handle their coaching chores for the 1977-78 Senior Continental season appears to be a pop- ular one. Jack better known as "Chipper" has a solid background in professional hockey not only on the ice but behind the bench and in the front office. His playing career in junior and professional ranks spans a total of 17 years and it took him to a lot of cities. Jack's longest stay was probably at Roanoke Valley in the Central league. If our memory serves us correctly he was there for about seven years. He coached several years at Roanoke and the last year doubled as general manager. While playing he received several special awards from the fans for his dedicated play. With Chipchase taking care of the on-ice activities of the team, Don Urbshott will be able to devote all of his time to the managerial duties. The Jets are very fortunate to have one of the best organizations in the OHA senior loop. They are top notch right from president Harry Loyens down through Urbshott and Chipchase to a good group of dedicated hockey players. Chipchase has promised the executive that he will come up with an interesting and successful team. He will be teaching a system similar to that in use by coach Fred Shero of the Philadelphia Flyers. The new Jets coach will be stressing conditioning and will have a team capable of putting out a full 60 minutes of hockey. Parts & Accessories Factory-Trained Mechanics at Exeter Centennials played forceful soccer for the full 90 minutes of an Ausable district game against Lucan at Canner's Field Sunday for a 2-0 win. It was a complete turn-around for the local club after lapsing against Forest the week before in a 2-1 loser. The Centennials got both goals in the opening half. Al Hern at right wing opened the scoring early with a nicely timed shot off a passing series into the penalty area from the left. Matt Muller at left-midfield later turned a serving from left- winger Wes Abbott into a marker with a low bouncing shot that hopped through the Luc an keeper's hands. The Centennials tied their plays together well, triggering many from midfielders Dick Lord and John Muller. But they occasionally faltered in finishing r, Get Ready for the Camping Season PONCHO RAINCAPES itk uLLy them off, at the cost of winning by n-iore than two goals. They also passed up some thoughtfully created space on their left now and again after unsettling the Lucan backs with good tactical moves. Even so, the Centennials were in control of the game all the way through with thrusting com- bination attacks, and a tight defence with Jim Webb and Bill Smits in the centre-back slots, Joe Laurie at right fullback and Rene Kirmse at left. The locals finish the first half of their schedule at home next Sunday, June 12, when they host~ Ailsa Craig at 2 p.m. at Canner's Field. They start the second half of their schedule July 10, playing as visitors at St. Nails.

While the 1976-77 Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" championship was won by the Exeter Hawks only a little more than six weeks ago, plans are already being formulated for next season. Hawks manager Fred Morn- mersteeg has received ,an in- formation sheet from the OHA office which lists the Junior "D" groupings for the 1977-78 cam- paign and the playoff structure, The Hawks will be placed in group 3 with the Mitchell Hawks, Seaforth, Tavistock and Thamesford while group 2 will take care of Belmont, Bothwell, Lucan, Mount Brydges and Port Stanley in the other half of the Western Division. Quarter final playoff rounds are to start by March 10, 1978 with the winners of the two divisions of the Western grouping meeting in the first round.
