Mixed sports
This is one time of the year when summer sports
are winding down and fall and winter activities are
just getting underway.
On the area ball front, the Kirkton midget girls
appear to be the only team still playing an active role.
While still in contention in Western Ontario
Association playoffs, the Kirkton girls have already
won the Provincial Women’s Softball association
A CC championship.
The Kirkton gals turned in an impressive record
in taking the PWSA title. They won their last eight
games in disposing of four teams in quick fashion.
They defeated Penetang in the finals by scores of
11-2 in Kirkton, Friday and 11-9 in Penetang, Sunday.
The long trips for the visiting teams in each instance
probably had an effect on the outcome.
Congratulations, girls. You may as well carry on
and the WOAA crown to the rest of your laurels.
On the soccer front, the Exeter Centennials are
waiting playoff action in the Ausable senior league. A
league meeting to chart playoffs is being held tonight,
Thursday in Taxandria.
The Centennials finished in second place and are
expected to meet West Williams and Forest in a
round-robin series. The other set has Nairn, Taxan
dria and Grand Bend kicking off.
Coaches Ron Bogart and Doug Ellison of the two
football teams at South Huron District High School
are busy readying their clubs for Huron-Perth action
which starts next week.

as football and hockey go at the same time.
He has called the first practice of the Exeter
junior Hawks for this Sunday afternoon.
It will be held at the Ilderton arena at 2 p.m. any
junior eligible players in the area are welcome. Bring
your own stick and equipment.
For further information, prospective players can

Kirkton wins PWSA title
Great showing
A member of the Exeter saddle club turned
excellent performances at last weekend’s horse show
held in conjunction with the Western Fair in London.

Friday and came back with three more red ribbons
Saturday.

In Sunday’s game the
Kirkton club had a little
more trouble, probably due
to the long trip.

single paced Kirkton to the
championship win. Sue
Schaefer was close behind

won eight straight games
against four opposition

Another kind of horse
Still on the subject of horses, but of a different
variety, we’d like to report of an Open House being
held this Sunday afternoon.
Seelster Farms of Lucan will have 19 yearling
race horses on display. These young colts will be part
of the CSHS yearling sale to be held at the CNE Horse
Palace on October 14-15.
Seelster Farms operated by the Van Bussel family
has one of the most successful breeding operations in
Ontario.
Their farm where the Open House will be held is
on Highway 4, about two miles south of Lucan, next to
St. Patrick’s Separate School.

Would he reconsider
In Cooperstown did Doubleday
The game of baseball once create;
In pastures did the fielders play
With splintered bats and balls like clay
And pie-tins for home plate.
The early game was quite a thrill,
Which made the local fans agree
That though the players might lack skill
'And second base was on a hill,
The game was fun to see.
The game has changed from days of yore,
With sliders flying past each bat,
With players hitting, 204,
And fifteen innings with no score,
And dreadful things like that.
And now, much to the fans’ dismay
And unearned run’s big attack;
Which makes me sure if Doubleday
Could see this boring game they play,
He’d take the whole thing back.
