From this, and other similar workouts, we intend to form a Junior Team for the Exeter Club. There is no cost for these lsssons, under this special program, and balls are supplied. We would be glad to see all "beginning" juniors at this time too, not ust more experienced players. Hopefully, all of the juniors can benefit from these sessions. A junior is any player under 18 years of age. The Exeter Club sent several men down to Hyde Park last Sunday afternoon for a casual doubles round- fobin • Our hosts at the Olde School Tennis Club were well-prepared with many refreshments and snacks to get our players through the extreme heat wave. A similar evening is planned for tomorrow night for the men, and in the hear future for the ladies. This weekend we will host an open men's singles event on Saturday and Sunday, and a mixed doubles night is set up, for tonight at 7.00 p.m. Persons should call 235- 1304 to show us their interest in the Junior Program, the Hyde Park trip for men on this Thursday night (we need car pools), and the Men's Open singles on Saturday. We will have more ladies events after this weekend is completed. Members can get their keys for the courts at The Junction, Members from last year can trade in their old keys for a new key at the Junction if they are mem- bers this year. This week's tennis tip: The forehand stroke Points to check (for right handers). From ready position draw racquet back 180 degrees. Racquet head should be higher-than right hand. The right hand should be about waist height Contact should be made in front, and to the right, of the body. The player should bring weight forward by turning sideways to the net as he pulls the racquet back and stepping into the shot with the left foot. The follow-through should finish around to the left side of the head. (do not make contact with the head). This should be one graceful motion and not a series of individual steps. During each stroke, try to remember at least a couple of these points, and they will become habit, AT HURON HOCKEY SCHOOL The Huron Hockey School has started its lath pqir of operation at the Huron Pork arena. Above, one of the charter coaches Ron Mason talks with AnciyJones, Denfield ; ColhnTripp,Centralia and Steve McIntyre, Huron Park.

The Clinton Colts hold a one game edge over the Tigers for top spot in the league. The earlier in the week Tiger victories were 4-3 over the Service Master juniors, 10-1 over Just Sports and 13-2 over the Crediton Mets. A key game is in the schedule, for the Tigers Friday night when they meet the Clinton Colts in Dash- wood at 8 p.m. Crediton will be in Dashwood Tuesday night and Wednesday the See the Jays Sunday afternoon we made our first visit of the year to CNE Stadium in Toronto to see the Blue Jays in action, It was the first time since mid-April of the 1978 season and the difference in temperature was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Last year it was the second game of the Blue Jays opening stand against the Detroit Tigers and the temperature was near freezing accompanied by.a lit- tle snow. Sunday the Celsius thermometer reached into the low 30's. The game was, delayed for 43 minutes by a heavy rainstorm. Ilefore that the gamewas stopped for four minutes while the lights were turned on and three munutes while pitcher Jim Clancy got another glove. Sunday's game proved what one hit or the lack of one hit can do in a baseball game. The Jays tagged Minnesota starter Geoff Zahn for four hits and two runs in ‘the first inning with only one out. Another hit would certainly have chased Zahn and probably chang- ed the whole complexion of the game. As it was Zahn went on to keep the Toronto club pretty well in check. Twins manager Gene Mauch who has his club only five games off the pace in the American league west made sure of the win by bring- ing in ace reliever Mike Marshall to toss' the last in- ning. Marshall disposed of the Blue Jays in quick one- two-three order. While the Jays didn't get the hit when they needed it, the Twins did. Dave Edward of the Twins hit a grand slam homer in the top of the third and that was pretty well the ball game. One of the bright spots in the Blue Jays at the mo- ment is the performance of young pitcher Dave Stieb. He has won two straight games. Saturday he defeated the Twins who came into the game sporting a team batting average of ,291, the best in either league. Roy Smalley, a nephew of manager Gene Mauch and close to the top in American league batting was hitless in four trips against Toronto pitchers Jim Clan- cy and Baylor Moore. One wonders about how long manager Roy Hartsfield and pitching coach Bob Miller can keep up their enthusiasm with a team that has won as few games as the Blue Jays. But there is one fellow who we feel has as many problems as the people actually on the field. He is Toronto radio announcer Tom Cheek. It must be dif- ficult for Cheek to keep praising the Blue Jays day after day. The hun-iour and misuse of the English language by his' sidekick Early Wynn should tie of some help. On the other hand there is the occasional bright Spot in their play and we suppose that's what keeps everyone going and hoping for better times. There are certainly better times ahead for the Jays. But, when it will actually happen is hard to say. Most people who criticize the Toronto club fail to realize that they are only in their third year. It took the New York Mets 10 years to reach the top and the Montreal Expos in their eleventh year of operation are hitting their peak for the first time. We would hazard a guess that there are only six of the present Blue Jays that have a chance to stay with the team until they do reach the point of maturity and emerge from the doldrums. They would be pitchers Dave Stieb and Phil Huff- man, outfielder Rick Bosetti and infielders Alfredo Griffin, Danny Ainge and Roy Howell. • Bosetti at 26 and Howell at 25 are the oldest of, these six. Huffman was 21 on June 20 and Stieb will; celebrate his 22nd birthday this coming Sunday. The double play combination of Griffin and Ainge are also very youthful. Ainge just turned 20 and Grif- fin will be 22 on October 6. These are the players along with many promising rookies now being groomed slowly in the • that will provide the excitement over the next 10 years at CNE stadium. School is back The Huron hockey school is back in full swing at the Huron Park arena. We dropped in for a few minutes Monday and chatted with an old friend Ron Mason. Mason has been on the coaching staff atthe hockey school for 10 years. The other two charter coaches or organizers Brian Gilmour and Bill Mahoney are also back again. They are also operating similar schools in Cornwall and Cleveland. The Huron hockey school runs right through to the end of August with the last week being devoted to professional hockey players, The complete list of players to be sent here by pro clubs will not be completed until after the August draft. The success of the school can be pinned down to their devotion to basics, and the expertise of coaches and teachers rather than stars of the game. Mason who played junior hockey in Seaforth has been very successful in university coaching ranks in the United States. This past April he took over the head coaching job at Michigan State University. Before that he spent six years at Bowling Green in Ohio and several years at Lake Superior State in northern Michigan. Michigan State plays in the Big Ten in football and basketball but a similar conference for hockey does not exist. The hockey loop is called the Western Collegiate hockey league. Bowling Green is a member of the Central Collegiate division. The two' winners eventually meet. Friedsburg sports John Becker who is in charge of the sports program at Friedshurg Days in Dashwood on Satur- day, August 4 is looking for entries for a couple of events, Anyone wishing to enter the team tug-of-war or in- dividual arm wrestling in four men's divisions and one for women should call Becker at 23/-3628, Centennials get draw Goals within two minutes of each other settled a 1.1 draw for Exeter Centennials and Nairn Cardinals in Ausable district soccer at Nairn, Sunday. Each club went scoreless in the first half of a game that offered excellent soccer for the entire 90 minutes. The scoring began at 75 minutes, when Exeter centre Martin Del3ruyn headed in a ball relayed through from Brad Clausius at left wing, Clausius' pass was in turn headed on to DeBruyn by midfielders Lorne Rideout and Dick Lord. Nairn was back about two minutes later, however, to collect the equalizer on a free kick quickly taken by Chris Edgecombe, Both teams performed well in just about every area of the game. They also shared a nearly even distribution of scoring chances brought off with solid passing, The Centennials' next match is at home against Huron Park, with a start at 4 p.m., Sunday, July 22, at Canner's field. Youth Soccer John VanEsbroeck,, Steve Gould, Frank Martins and David Vanneste shared the goals in Exeter's 5-0 defeat of Watford last Wednesday night, July 11. It was the home club's first win in this season's pee-wee division soccer, after three losses and a tie. The game was also Wat- ford's first loss. Vanneste began for Exeter with a first-half goal. VanEsbroeck sent in two during the second; with Gould and Martins adding singles to the 5-0 romp, in which goalkeeper Dennis Eisenschink earned a shut- out. Russell is top shooter Tom . Russell was the winner of two shoots held this week at the claybird gun club. He scored 24 to lead Wednesday's trap shooters and hit 23 skeet targets the same night. Ted Van Rompey was second in trap 'with 22 hits followed by Bill Weber, Ribk Schroeder, Wayne Riddell, John Love and Jody Mosurinjohn with 21 each and Larry Mason at 19. Bill Weber with a score of 21 was second in the skeet competition, Wayne Riddell and Neil Romphf were all even at 20 and Rick Schroeder scored 19. Winners of barns in a Sunday turkey shoot were Dan Crerar, Wayne Riddell, Bill Weber, Glen Vickery, Len Everett, Ralph Hallam and Andy Clader. Ladies night at Ironwood Gail Skinner required the lowest number of putts in a recent ladies night com- petition at the Ironwood golf course. A total of 18 ladies participated. Prizes for hidden hole scores went to Helen Burton, Marlene Parsons, Mary Elligon and Dorothy Morley while Marg Skinner was the high putt winner. All ladies are welcome to a two-ball foursome at Iron- wood on July 25 with a pot luck supper to follow, For further information contact Helen Burton or Marlene Parsons. • • • Sports Spotlight By ROSS HAUGH singles.
