This may be so, but, we wonder what has happened in the manufacturing of golf balls. No less than five holes-in-one have been scored this year by golfers from this area and perfect shots have been turned in by golf enthusiasts of all ages. The youngest was 11 year-old Steve Laithwaite who scored his ace at Ironwood in early July and then last week Ed Cosman who is 13 turned the trick, also at Ironwood, Jim Sweitzer of Shipka realized his dream at the Ex- eter course, South Huron teacher Terry O'Rourke needed only one shot at Oakwood at Grand Bend and Crediton Post- master Bob Jackson scored a hole-in-one at Leamington. So, we wait to hear of the invention of a golf ball that has eyes. Continue to attract Despite their lowly position in the American Baseball league's eastern division, the Toronto Blue Jays continue to be one of the most successful teams at the gate. Last week the Blue Jays 1977 attendance went over the 1,219,000 mark which is a new record for an expansion team. When this figure was reached the Blue Jays had been at home on 49 occasions and still had 22 home dates remain- ing. The Toronto team has one situation which is disappoin- ting and encouraging at the same time. It's the perfor- mance of young left handed pitcher Jerry Garvin. At the time of writing Garvin has not won a game since early in June after winning seven quick times. His loss record is up to 13. Despite this Garvin has been turning in excellent performances, but, his team-mates have been failing to respond with hits at the right time. Garvin has picked 14 opposing runners off first base, which eclipses the unofficial record of Bill Lee of the Red Sox of an even dozen. Members of the Exeter Lions club who were in atten- dance at CNE Stadium Sunday afternoon will attest to Gar- vin's performance and record. He pitched brilliant ball for seven innings before being touched for three runs in the top of the eighth and sent to the showers. As has been Garvin's luck all season, the Blue Jays fail- ed to score any runs for him, but, they scored six runs after he left to win the game. While the Blue Jays are hopelessly out of the pennant race they will have an important voice as to who does win the divisional championships. A quick check of the remaining schedule shows the Jays have 22 games against contending clubs. This means ex- citing games as these clubs will be throWing their best against Toronto and the Blue Jays in turn will be striving to win their share and prove they belong in the big leagues. The Jays will be playing six games at home during the Canadian National Exhibition. There is good and bad news for baseball fans during the CNE. A reserved seat to a Blue Jay game will allow free ad- mission to the CNE but parking for ball fans has been restricted to the lots adjacent to the CNE grounds. The contending teams in the American league may be looking to the Blue Jays in more ways than just defeating them in the remaining games. Any of the seven pennant contenders at the moment could be interested in trades with the Blue Jays. Any trades must come before the end of August. Players acquired after August 31 are not eligible for the World Series. The Jays can afford to trade for the future and if, it helps the other team win a divisional title, they can afford it. At the moment we would guess there are at least four Blue Jays who could be a help to the other teams. The Minnesota Twins appear to need another starting pitcher and Jesse Jefferson who beat them last week would certainly be a help. Hector Torres could shore up the Chicago White Sox infield defences and the Texas Rangers are looking for a left handed hitter and Ron Fairly could fill that spot. The Boston Red Sox have tried before to get Doug Rader as they could use his right handed power hitting with the short left field fences at Fenway Park. BrMARIE JARVIS The Exeter swim team ven- tured to Elmira Saturday to swim in an Invitational meet. They placed a close second to the host team of Elmira, with only 5 points separating the two teams. Elmira won the meet with 147 points and Exeter cIoSe on their tail with 142 poilits. The other competing teams were Fergus and St. Marys, Finishing with 82 and 55 points respectively. Men back to winning The men returned to the winners circle in this week's jitneys at the Exeter lawn bowl- ing club. Thursday night, Wes Watson scored two victories and an aggregate of 33 to shade runnerup Tom Walker for the top position. A three-way tie for third place existed between Lillian Pym, Clarence Down and Charles Hen- dy. Completing the prize list was Ina Skinner. Clarence Down was the top competitor Saturday night with two wins and an aggregate of 29 which edged second place finisher Stanley Mitchell by four on the aggregate side of the ledger. Next in line came Kay Snelgrove, Olive Harvey, Lila Smith, Wellington Brock, Bill Rodgerson and Tom Walker.
