In addition to a full schedule in the Ontario senior ladies fastball league which also includes two New York state teams, the Suns participate in a number of tournaments throughout the summer. This year the Milverton girls team is sponsoring the first International Softball Classic. It will be held On June 13, 14 and 15 and will feature two divisions. They will be for senior ladies and intermediate men. The trophy awards are being presented by Molson's. ami l immilliiimumitillimummiummomminumminnimmummmomiumamminnimmimminumnimminimw Games will be played on two diamonds in Milverton and one each in Newton and Rostock. 'Other teams in the senior ladies regular league play are from, Fort Erie, Kit- chener, Willowdale, Agin- court, Burlington and Buffalo and Tonawanda, New York. The Ontario elimination playoffs to decide a representative for the Canada championships will be held in Kitchener July 25, 26, 27. According to Lynne Farquhar, "That's a biggie." The Suns are out in the'sun this week. The Milverton Suns, one of the top ladies fastball teams in Canada left Sunday morning for a seven day spring training camp in Florida. Included in the 22 member roster taken south by coach George Wicke are Lynne Farquhar of Exeter and .former area native Iris Marshall, now of Toronto. The Suns have represented Ontario in Canada cham- pionships on several oc- casions in recent years and won the title in 1978. Lynne Farquhar has been with the Milverton team for Soccer club needs coaches The Exeter Centennial soccer club has the game arranged for about 120 area youngsters. But some help is needed. Local soccer begins in early May, and continues through the summer. Ron Helm, the club's immediate past' president, says the organization is looking for 'coaches and referees for minor-level teams. "Former players, or anybody with a definite interest in the game would be ideal," he said. The job of either coaching or refereeing, he explained, involved a couple of hours of evening work each week. He added that the club would also welcome offers from people to serve in executive capacities. Volunteers are asked to call either Ron Helm,at 235- 2644; or Martin DeBruyn at 234-6798. The Centennial soccer club sponsored teams in four minor divisions: Squirts, aged 8 to 10; Atoms, 10 to 12; Mosquitoes, 12 to 14; and Pee-Wees, aged 14 to 16. These youngsters play in the Lucan and District Minor Soccer League. They compete with teams from Nairn, St. Marys, Taxan- dria, Lucan, Forest and Ilderton. A senior team, the Exeter Centennials, is part of the Ausable District Soccer Association.

All during the winter and spring months we have been trying without much success to convince some of Our baseball acquaintances that the Blue Jays will be much improved. We were laughed at only three weeks ago when predicting the Blue Jays will Win at least 75 games and be better at the finish than three or possibly four other major league teams. It may be the only time this season, but for 48 hours on the weekend the Toronto club was in first place in the American league east. We mentioned recently that the Jays were better because of their youthful hustle and manager Bobby Mattick's decision to take advantage of speed on the bases. Another decided improvement is the increase in the number of complete games by Toronto pichers. Dave Steib already has three full nine inning performances. Saturday, Steib shut-out the Milwaukee Brewers. It was the first time that the Milwaukee team has failed to score any runs on their home field in 120 games since August 6, 1978. Sunday, Paul Mirabella was on the way to a second complete game leading 6-0 when he ran into a shoulder problem, with relief help from Baylor Moore, the Jays were able to chalk up their eighth win of the season. Local Canoeists At least two area residents participated in the recent annual conoe race from St. Marys to Fanshawe Park with all proceeds going to help crippled children. Ken • Baker of Exeter and Fred Gielnik from Dashwood, both employees of Veterinary Services of Centralia College completed the courae and raised $120 in pledges. A Ball in Florida A lucky couple will be spending two weeks in Florida early in 1981 thanks to a project being organized by the Exeter and district men's recreation fastball league. The 10 teams in the rec ball loop under the organiza- tion of treasurer Jim De Block will be attempting to sell 5,000 tickets throughout the summer months. The big prize for the lucky ticket drawn at the league's closing banquet in the fall will be "A Ball in Florida Trip" valued at $4,000 The objective of the draw is to raise money for development of Exeter and district recreation grounds. This appears to be a very worthy project with proceeds going to a good and needy cause. Get your tickets early from rec league players. Plan Soccer Season The Exeter Centennial soccer club is getting set to start another season of play on the senior level and for four minor age teams. The minor clubs are squirts, atoms, mosquitoes and pee wees. They play in the Lucan and district minor soccer leagues along with teams from Nairn, Lucan, Ilderton, St. Marys, Taxandria and Forest. On the local scene coaches-and referees are needed at the minor level. Anyone wishing to lend his time and knowledge is asked to call Ron Helm at 235-2644 or Martin DeBruyn at 234-6798. The Exeter Centennials senior soccer team is again entered in the Ausable District Soccer Association and the 1980 schedule is expected to be released shortly. • More Spring Training While the major league baseball teams have moved north and into their regular schedules spring training continues for another ball club. Lynne Farquhar was in the office Friday afternoon and we learned she was leaving Sunday with the Milverton Suns ladies fastball team for a week-long stint in the sunny south of Florida. While in Florida, the Suns will be playing a number of exhibition games in preparation for their Ontario Senior ladies softball league play. The Suns who have won the Canadian ladies cham- pionship in recent years will be entered in the Ontario eliminations in Kitchener in late July. As Lynne said, "That's a biggie." Another area native, Iris Marshall formerly of Kirkton and now a medical doctor in Toronto has been with the Suns for a number of years. This will be Lynne Farquhar's sixth year with the Milverton club. To Ontario Finals Athletes at South Huron District High School have turned in excellent performances in two sports in re- cent weeks which have qualified them for the all- Ontario championships. In senior badminton, Ronalee and Dave Bogart won the WOSSA mixed doubles championship without a loss and were at Seneca College in Toronto over the weekend participating in the OFSA playoffs.
