GETS PROMOTION
We learned just recently that a former star
baseball player in this area has received a promotion
in the business world.
Ray YeIle of Parkhill is now the president and
chief officer of Commonwealth Holiday Inns.
Yelle was a fastballing right hander with the first
ever Dashwood intermediate baseball team some 30
years ago.
After gaining fame in Western Ontario with his
pitching speed Yelle had a short stay in the Cleveland
Indians organization and was also a valuable member
of Lucan intermediate hockey clubs.
Shortly after he began his career with Holiday
Inns and was in England for sometime. He has certain-
ly been successful in working his way up the business
ladder. Congratulations.Ray
INTERESTING ARTICLE
In Wednesday's Globe and Mail sports column, Al
Strachan asked a number of interesting questions. One
was as follows:
"Why can't television sportscasters get together
with their support staff to get the announced scores to
agree with the visuals for once' It seems that at least
once per sportscast. the announcer gives'a score that
doesn't match the score flashed on the screen."
We read this article during the early innings of
Wednesday's telecast of the Toronto Blue Jays playing
in Kansas City.
Lo and behold at the end of the sixth inning. the
score was flashed as 7-2 when it was actually 7-3.
In the late innings several times announcer Don
Chevrier had the score listed as 9-5. but. the final score
was 9-4.
Our explanation for this would be that the televi-
sion crew is so excited with the recent showing of the
Blue Jays that they get carried away occasionally.
Chevrier and Tony Kubek are really exuberant
about the Toronto club since the strike as they seem to
be a different team with newly found confidence and
enthusiasm.
There was a slight hint during Wednesday's
telecast that Bobby Mattick may not be back as the
Blue Jays manager next year.
This would follow original plans of president Peter
Bavasi and company to get the team established and
well stocked with talented baseball players before go-
ing for a higher profile manager.
Also in Al Strachan's Globe and Mail column,
Wednesday he suggested Billy Martin was available at
one time for the Toronto managerial position. •
It will be interesting to see how fans in the Toronto
area respond to the great improvement of the Blue
Jays. Attendance should be up during the nine game
home stay while the Canadian National Exhibition is in
operation.
An advance ticket to a Blue Jay game gets you
free admission to the Ex.
Also Wednesday night we listened for a few
minutes to Frank Beckman's Sports Rap show on WJR
radio in Detroit and he said overall attendance at ma-
jor league in the two weeks since the strike had declin-
ed by 30 percent.
One caller said he normally visited Tiger Stadium
once or twice a week while the Tigers were at home,
but. has vowed to stay away completely for the
balance of the season.
He went as far to say he was also boycotting the
Tiger games on radio andtelevision adding. "I don't
want to hear anything about baseball for the rest of the
year."
JUNIOR OLYMPICS PROGRAM
The Royal Bank of Canada is continuing with it's
Junior Olympics program according to a recent press
release.
The Royal's partner in the venture. the Canadian
Olympic Association which operates the day-to-day
routine of the program believes the value accruing to
Canadian Youngsters will never be measured by the
money spent on sponsorship. There are just too many
examples of successful events involving over three
million children from coast to coast.
Junior Olympics is a truly national program
possessing the ability to reach right down and touch
the grass roots Canadian.
Once again the program is undergoing the pull of
change. New thrusts are being implemented which
will expand horizons and make participation more fun.
The number of partners involved in the organiza-
tion of Junior Olympics will increase as national and
provincial Olympic sport governing bodies are now.
eligible to apply to host clinics while participants will
be able to engage in a Scholarship Contest program
which will culminate during the 1984 Olympic year.
There are also plans to increase the program's
cultural content through a Festival concept to be
tested during the fall of 1981 in selected elementary
and secondary schools.
The goal by 1984 is five million young Canadians
who will have enjoyed either a clinic or awards event
and are just a little richer for it.

includes athletics as a part of your activities and you

QUESTIONS STRATEGY
Last week we talked about the strategy in baseball
of changing pitchers to face certain batters such as a
right hander in to throw to a right hander batter.
Another well established technique is to bunt with
a runner on first base with nobody out.
Apparently Earl Weaver of the Baltimore Orioles
doesn't subscribe to this practice. Weaver says studies
have shown more runners on first base with nobody out
score than runners on second with one out do.

Next opposition is Wheatley
Jeff Fuller pitches perfect...gume for juveniles
Pitching a no-hitter is the
dream of all - pitchers
regardless of age when they
take to a baseball mound.
That dream came true for
Jeff Fuller of the Exeter
juveniles in Walsingham,
Thursday night.
Not only did Fuller turn in
the fabled no-hitter per-
formance, but, he went one
step farther. The young right
handed turned in a perfect
game by retiring 27 Port
Rowan batters in order.
Fuller sent 18 opposition
batters down on strikeouts.
Of the nine Port Rowan
batters not striking out, six
were out on ground balls, two
on popups to the infield and
one on a fly ball to left field.
The perfect pitching effort
came as Exeter blanked
Port Rowan 19-0 in the first
game of an Ontario Baseball
Association playoff.
The Exeter club came
right back Saturday night
with a 24-8 victory in Dash-
wood 'to sweep the series.
Second round OBA playoff

Wheatley in another best -of -
three series.
The first game is in Dash-
wood Saturday night at 5
p.m. with the second and
third games, if necessary in
Wheatley Sunday af-
ternoon.
Fuller had great help at
the plate from his mates in
the opening game as they
scored at least one run in
every inning.
Greg Prout singled in the
first inning and scored on a
pair of walks and an error.
Three Exeter runs were
sent home in the second
inning on singles by Doug
