HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-06-05, Page 8 (2)Exeter convincingly defeated their Seaforth counterparts 3-0. Thanks to some good defensive work from half -backs Gib Dow and Greg Peitsch, the Exeter goalkeeper Dennis Eisenschink was able to earn his second shutout of the season in as many starts. Starring for Exeter was inside right Jeff Pfaff, who scored two well taken first-half goals. Leader Scott Lovie worked hard for the squirts, and was unlucky not to .score on several oc- casions. The third goal that sealed the issue for Exeter, came from a penalty shot mid -way through the second period. Right -half Kevin Varley was the scorer, with a high drive that gave the Seaforth 'keeper no chance." At least two, and possibly four exhibition games are presently being arranged for the Exeter squirts. These will be against teams representing Sarnia and Detroit. The Sarnia squad are the reigning Ontario Minor Soccer champions, while the Detroit Kickers club are coached by ex - Czechoslovakian international and Detroit Cougar star Joe Melczerick. Second shutout Soccer squirts its wi n again q If the Exeter squirts continue to perform successfully, and fare well against Sarnia and Detroit, coach Dave Silcock has definite plans of entering his team in this years soccer competition for the North America/ midget cup. In other minor league games Following their decisive 5-0 victory over Clinton in the season opener last week, the Exeter squirts soccer team continued on the winning road when they recenely travelled to Seaforth to take on the much favoured Knights. involving Exeter clubs, the local pee wees lost a 3-1 decision to Grand Bend and the mosquitoes were on the short end of a 4-1 score to Seaforth. Walter Van Essen was the only Exeter marksmen in the mosquito game. Crediton Club wins twice The Crediton midgets made their first starts in the Western Ontario Athletic Association winning ones with home and home victories over Seaforth. In the league opener Thursday, the Crediton youngsters scored a 19-8 victory in Seaforth and Sunday afternoon in their home field they were victorious by a score of 15-4. Crediton coach Bob Osgood used three pitchers in each game. Paul Brooks, Larry Ryan and Doug Mcisaac were the hurlers in the opening contest and Larry Ryan,. Paul Brooks and Ken Pinder handled pitching duties in the second tilt. Centennials lose in soccer The Exeter Centennials dropped a 3-1 decision Sunday to West Lorne in an Ausable league soccer contest. After trailing at half time, the Centennials came back with the only goal of the second half on a successful boot by Ron Funston. Tony Markus and Joe Laurie turned in excellent efforts for the Exeter club. The Centennials will be back in action Sunday afternoon when they travel to Taxandria for a two o'clock contest.

Southpaw Mickey Lolich who many sports authorities thought was finished at the end of the 1974 American baseball league season became the winningest left handed Detroit pitcher in history. Lolich held the Chicago White Sox to seven hits as he recorded his 201st victory as a Tiger. At the same time Lolich upped his strikeout total to 2,582. It moved him into sixth place on the all-time strikeout list. Sunday's strikeouts moved Mickey one ahead of former Cleveland Indian ace Bob Feller and only two behind Warren Spahn. Lolich is certain to pass Spahn this season and move into fifth spot on the all-time list of strikeouts. The old Tiger record for a lefthander was 200 wins and held by Hal Newhouser. While on the subject of major league pitchers Catfish Hunter is beginning to slow his worth with the New York Yankees. Signed to the largest contract ever offered to a pitcher, Hunter got off to a slow start with the New York club. But in recent games he has regained his stuff and Saturday pitched a one -hitter for his seventh win of the season. One baseball writer recently said. Hunter probably needed the Oakland team to win 25 games but it could be the other way around that the A's need Hunter to regain their championship. In watching several big league ball games on television recently we were amazed at the number of outfielders using only the glove hand to catch fly balls. The method of coaching must be changing because back when we played with the Zurich and Dashwood in- termediate teams it was a real "no -no" to even attempt to catch with one hand unless it was impossible to get both hands on the ball. Detroit Tigers broadcaster George Kell mentioned the same thing during Sunday's telecast. Kell said he caught a pop-up with one hand in a game when Connie Mack was his manager. When Kell came back to the bench Mack the grand old man of baseball said "Is there something wrong with your bare hand that you used only the glove." Another unusual item appeared in Sunday's game between Detroit and Chicago. White Sox manager Chuck Tanner used Lee Richard as his designated batter but used him in the lead-off position. Most managers put the designated hitter in the fourth or fifth spot in the batting order. Busy summer ahead The summer season is quickly approaching and Exeter's RAP committee and recreation director Jim McKinlay are lining up an excellent playground program. Planning has been going on for several months and McKinlay and playground supervisor Anne. Pinder feel changes made will not only improve the program but make it the best the area has ever known. The playground staff has been increased from three to six members. The new staff members are Pat Van Wierren, Tracy Campbell and Marian Adams who will be joining Anne Pinder, Laura Johns and Linda Ritchie who are ex- perienced supervisors. The junior playground program is being moved from Victoria Park to the Exeter public school playground due to the lack of washrooms, telephone and proper rain protec- tion at the former location. These facilities will be used at the arena and it is hoped some of the problems of the past will be solved. The junior group for boys and girls aged four to seven years will be supervised by Linda Ritchie and Tracy Campbell at the public school grounds and Ann Pindet and Pat Van Wieren will be in charge of the intermediates aged seven to eleven years. also at the public school. Thesenior program will be operated at Ifiverview park for boys and girls aged from 11 to 15 years with Laura Johns and Marian Adams handling the supervision. An innovation this year will be the establishment of a leader -in training program which will train leaders for the end of the program and hopefully for the following summer. These young people will train for the first part of the program and become helpers during the last half. Officials hope for a good response so that more individual attention may be given to those youngsters registered in the summer playground program. Plans are also being made to set up a crossing guard system so children from the west side of town will be able to participate in the program without the fear of crossing Main street on their own. If it is their first adventure across town they will be able to learn their way to school a little earlier. Registration for the summer playground and swimming programs will be held on Saturday, June 14 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Registration fees for the eight week program for juniors and intermediates will be $10 and the seniors will pay $12. The latter group will be participating in several outings. Interesting horse show The seventh annual Pinto and Appaloosa horse show will be held this Saturday at Exeter Community Park and it promises to provide plenty of interesting entertainment for horse enthusiasts. The show gets underway at 8 a.m. and will continue throughout the day with 52 line and performance classes on the program. The judge will be Larry Edwards of Dayton, Ohio. He is a top authority on the two breeds. Pintos and Appaloosas are fast growing and colorful breeds. A similar show is be- ing held the following day in Sarnia at the saddle club grounds. Ball clinic at Crediton A minor baseball clinic will be held at the Crediton ball diamond Saturday afternoon from 1 • to 3 p.m.. In charge of the clinic will be Brad Gregus of Exeter who is currently in his third year with the Stratford Intercoutlty' junior baseball team and is the 1975 team captain. Gregus will be assisted by Stratford junior pitcher Casey Wildgen, a native of Goderich. All minor ball players In the Crediton, Dashwood, Exeter areas are. urged to attend.

Perry Stover singled to lead off the fifth and was able to come around to plate the tying run. The eventual winning run crossed the plate in the bottom of the sixth as John Becker singled, moved to second on infield out and home on a two -bagger from the bat of Perry Stover. Stover went the distance on the mound for the Tigers and allowed Thorndale six hits while recor- ding eight strikeouts. The Tigers will be back in action Friday night at 8 p.m. on their home field when Arva will supply the opposition. Friday's game will create some extra interest as three members of the Arva club were with the Exeter Expos last year and moved south when the local club failed to materialize this spring. They are Terry Bourne, Brian Baskett and Greg Revington. The Dashwood club will be strengthened considerably by the d return of John Hayter to the shortstop position.
