Doug Ellison’s junior club will be meeting the Central Huron Redmen from Clinton in the first scheduled contest while Ron Bogart’s seniors will be meeting North Middlesex of Parkhill. The senior game will be of the exhibition variety. Clinton does not have a senior club this year. The local juniors got off to a flying start in an ex­ hibition game last week as they blasted Arthur Voaden Collegiate of St. Thomas by a score of 30-0. The senior contest was a little different but coach Ron Bogart was not dismayed by his team’s perfor­ mance. They lost 32-0 but played better than the score would indicate. About the first game, Bogart said, “We just got off to a bad start. Fumbles and penalties in the early going put us behind 13-0 before we knew what happen­ ed. We outplayed them in the third quarter but couldn’t manage to score. Bogart added, “The boys found out in a hurry that they will have to work hard in practice this week.’’ Last chance to see Jays This weekend is the last chance for Ontario fans to see the Toronto Blue Jays in action this season at CNE Stadium. The Jays on a losing streak of late have an oppor­ tunity to play a big role in deciding whether the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox win the pennant in the American league eastern division. The Blue Jays have only 12 games left on the schedule which included yesterday’s double bill with the Yankees and all are against the two contending teams. The Yankees are in Toronto tonight, Thursday and then the Boston Red Sox swing in for a three game set which goes Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon. The other six games are against the same two teams the following week in New York and Boston. The entire homestand this week is sure to feature the unique excitement of the September pennant race, the kind of drama and magic that only baseball can provide. Will the Blue Jays continue to play spoiler, holding off the inevitable popping of the champagne corks that signals the hard fought victory after 162 packed games. Which team will win it? Fans will have an oppor­ tunity to see it all, to hear what may be the decisive crack of the bat, to see the final dazzling curve ball that lays a team to rest or sends them on into history. Seelster open house We spent an enjoyable hour Sunday afternoon at Seelster Farms near Lucan taking a look at 19 yearl­ ing harness horses who will be sold by public auction next month in Toronto. The Van Bussell family operators of Seelster Farms for about 15 years have grown to be one of the top breeding outfits in the standard bred business. A large number of area horse enthusiasts attended the open house during which time each of the yearlings appeared on two showings. The Seelster youngsters will be at the Canadian Standard bred Horse Society annual along with 433 other yearlings. It will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15 at the CNE horse palace in Toronto. The Van Bussell yearlings will be stationed in stall E if anyone is interested in looking them up. Probably the most sought after colt from the Seelster bam will be Samson Seelster. He is half brother to Samuel Seelster who has been burning up the Ontario tracks this summer as a three-year-old. We were at Flamboro Thursday night when Samuel Seelster won a stakes race in easy fashion to put his 1978 earnings over the $60,000 mark. Our second choice would be Comet Seelster a half brother to stakes winner Up to Snuff with winnings in excess of $85,000. From a strictly personal observation as far as beauty is concerned we would take Personal Seelster, a shiny black colt beauty. Correction In last week’s issue a picture was shown of a championship Elimville boys softball team. There was an error in the identification. They were pee wees and not bantams as listed. This club coached by Charles Kernick and Rick Etherington should be congratulated for an excellent season. They went through the St. Marys and district league undefeated and kept up the same pace in the playoffs. They defeated Blanshard by scores of 11-3 and 15-1 in the finals with Danny Shute and John Kernick pick­ ing up the pitching wins. To reach the finals they downed Wellburn 20-2 and Downie 13-1. Kirkton even in WOAA semi-final St. Marys edged Kirkton 1- 0 Tuesday to even their Western Ontario Athletic Association semi-final best- of-five series at one game apiece. The third game will be played sometime this week in Kirkton when weather permits, St. Marys scored the only run of the game bn one hit and an error in the bottom of the third inning. While Kirkton banged out five hits they were unable to send a runner across the plate. The Kirkton hits all singles came from the bats of Sue Schaefer, Kim Heather, Bonnie Westlake, Julianne MacLean and JayneMacLean Dougall.

T-A photo Reach semi-final round Centennials blank Forest 4-0 Exeter squirt and mosquito soccer teams lost in final tournament play at Thamesford Saturday. But they went out in style. Each of them losing only one game in their series. The games ended a season in which the mosquitoes were league champions and the squirts one point out of first place. Saturday, the squirts lost 1- 0 to Lucan; beat St. Marys 2- 0; tied Thamesford 2-2; and drew the tournament champion Nairn team 1-1. UnbeatenNairn had a tough ride with Exeter in the final, in which Dale Kints got the last of his three goals for the day by netting a throw-in from Jeff Dalrymple. That goal, scored in the first half, held Nairn off until well into the second when they pulled to the draw. Kints got his first goal against St. Marys on a relay from Dave Russell and Brian Quinn. It was followed by a single by Quinn in the second half for Exeter’s 2-0 win. Quinn’s goal was the first of his pair for the event. Against Lucan, Exeter couldn’t have bought a goal while losing 1-0. In the third game, Thamesford struck first and shut down Exeter until the second half when Brian Quinn again got a solo goal. He then assisted on. Kints’ second of the day by laying in Thamesford, however, evened it 2-2 with seconds left in the match. Exeter goalkeeper Scott Heywood came out of the tournament with only four goals against, and young fullback Chris Bierling was high on the list of good ef­ forts from each of the Exeter players. In other play, Exeter goalkeeper Scott Lovie recorded three shut-outs as the mosquitoes came in five to six points behind tour- nament champion Thamesford with the one- point edge. The mosquitoes won 2-0 over St, Marys with goals from Andrew Winters and Joe Martin. They put Lucan aside 1-0 on a goal by Lawrence Vink, and then went under 1-0 against Thamesford. In the final, they drew Nairn 0-0. Nairn was also the Only club to beat Exeter during league play, which Exeter topped. Nairn beat them 3-2 in the first game of the season, but Exeter mosquitoes never lost another. As a result, the mosquitoes will receive the trophy which the Exeter Centennial Soccer Club awards annually for the best performance by any of the five teams* D.J. Jones "SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR" will be on hand with his » "FREE" SPORTING TIPS at our grand opening WATCH FOR IT Exeter Al Hern struck for two, Brad Clausius and Ron Funston for a goal each, as Exeter Centennials beat Forest 4-0 in Ausable play-off soccer at Canner’s Field, Sunday. Goalkeeper Paul Van Kippen club wins shoot The Kippen gun club proved to be poor hosts as they won Saturday involving Fullarton clubs. Jamie Caldwell hit 72 and John Anderson 70 to lead the home club to a total score of 345. Fullarton was second with 326. The team leaders were Ernie Marshall at 70 and Dave Temple with a 67 score. Bill Weber with a 72 score and Wayne Riddell at 61 helped the claybird club amass a total score of 304. In a regular 25 bird round, Al Kyle of Brucefield was the winner with 18. Brian Beer of Hensall and Robert McGregor, Kippen were next at 17. Aregularshoot will be held at the Kippen facilities this a team shoot the and Claybird Esbroeck was superb in turning away Forest’s few openings at almost certain goals with fine displays of skill and courage while challenging for the ball. Forest’s cleanest chance against him was a second- half penalty-kick, but it was sailed over the crossbar. The Centennials were 3-0 at the interval, and added a fourth goal midway into the second half. The first two goals were assisted on by Wes Abbott at 14 minutes. Abbott was back with another paying assist at 35 minutes for right-winger Al Hern to score the first of his two for the day. Brad Clausius, alternating % on left-wing, then ended first-half scoring with the hard-angled drive of a pass from Alfons Weersink at right-midfield. In the last half, Hern’s second goal went in at the 67- minute mark with an assist from Weersink to finish the scoring. Forest, an excellent club, played hard until the final whistle, but could seldom find a lane open out of their own end against an almost continuously attacking Exeter side. The Centennials went on the offence at the kick-off, and worked at every means to maintain it for the full 90 minutes, with solid performances from each player.
