Camp time
A number of Exeter youngsters are again ex
pected to participate in Boom’s Recreation Camp.
The camp operated by former Exeter recreation
director Don “Boom’ Gravett will be held at camp
Menesetung. near Goderich.
Boom has operated camps for the past 17 years
and has gained a good reputation in the camping field.
He started his camping ventures with Boom’s Kin
Camp in Exeter, for three years, then followed with
Camp Boomohra for 12 years and now it’s called
Boom’s Recreation Camp.
This years camp will be held from Sunday, August
19 to Saturday. August 25.
Nearly 2,000 boys and girls have taken part in
Boom’scamp programs over the past 16 years.
Any local youngster5? wishing further information
should contact Ronalee Bogart at 235-0847 or Kelly
Tiedeman at 235-1375.

Some improvement
Don’t look now, but, the Toronto Blue Jays are
winning a few games and have gotten away from the
tag of being the poorest team in the big leagues, at
least for a few days.
The Jays who have stubbornly stuck with a
youth movement swept a three game weekend series
with the Oakland A’s, pushing that team into the
overall cellar position.
The Jays biggest win streak of the season will
likely fall flat this week as they take on the New York
Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
Our continuous optimistic attitude towards the
Blue Jays tells us they will win at least three of their
six games against the two big clubs this week.
Since their inception in 1977, the Jays have done
well against both the Yankees and Red Sox and there
is no reason why they should stop now.
There are only two clubs in the American league
that have stuck with their farm systems and ignored
the trend of spending lots of money for name stars and
they are currently in the last two spots in the
American league east.
They are the Blue Jays and the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers failed to respond for new manager Sparky
Anderson as they dropped three in a row. One must
remember that the California Angels who beat the
Detroit club in the three games are leading the
western division by five games.
The Tigers currently tied with the Cleveland In
dians are bound to improve as their younger players
mature a bit and we wouldn’t be surprised to see them
get close to playoff contention by the time September
rolls around.

Save way club wins twice
in district fastball loop
Those fans of the Blue Jays who are dis
enchanted with their performance so far this year
should take a look at the Montreal Expos.
The Expos are currently leading their division by
three -games but one must remember this is by far
their best record ^nd they have been1 in business for 11
years.
Give the Jays another eight years and they will be
a solid franchise right in the battle for World Series
contention.
Peter Bavasi has been criticized for not buying
name players but only a couple of years should show
the rewards of patience in waiting for the farm system
to pay off.
Tycoon on tour
Exeter Saveway won both
their starts this week in the
South western Fastball
league to bring their season

Plan golf tourney
to aid cancer fund
We found an interesting item in a recent edition of
the Canadian Sportsman which is the oldest horse rac
ing magazine in North America.
It goes as follows, “Fred Darling of Exeter,
grocery tycoon and father of Buffalo Raceway’s driv
ing star Jack Darling recently returned from a
visiting and buying tour of trotting facilities in
Southern France including a stop-over in MonteCarlo.”
While talking about harness racing, the 1979 Clin
ton Kinsmen sponsored race meet starts this Sunday
at the Clinton fairgrounds and will continue each Sun
day afternoon until September 30.
There will be a couple of changes which will be of
interest to those raceway visitors who like to wager a
buck or two.
A daily double on the first two races will be back
along with show betting on all 10 races. The double and
wagering on the third place finisher were not used last

Area golfers will have an
opportunity to share in the
fun and contribute to the
fight against cancer when
the Exeter branch of the
Canadian Cancer Society
hosts the Fred Sgambati tee-
off for cancer open tour
nament on July 21.
The event will be hosted at
Exeter’s two nine-hole
courses, the Exeter Golf
Club and Ironwood Golf
Club. They’re located about
a mile apart and golfers will
play a nine-hole round on
each.
Carf Cann, campaign
chairman said it had been
hoped to have Fred Sgam
bati on hand for the event,
but the veteran CBC sports
announcer has been forced to
decline due to his personal
battle with the disease.
Entry fee will be $20 and
this includes green fees,
banquet and prizes. The
banquet, which will feature a
speaker, will be held at the
South Huron rec centre.
Golfers will compete in
three flights, based on their
handicaps and the first 100
entrants will be accepted.
Tee-off times are from 8:00
to 11:00 a.m.
Cann said he hoped the
event would become an
annual attraction in which
golfers can back the fight
against cancer. Entries can
be mailed to 'Bob Forrest,
Box 463 Exeter.
