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. If you are invo?ved in a vocation or avocation that includes athletics as a part of your activities and you would like to learn more about Junior Olympics. detailed information is available through any branch of the Royal Bank or by writing to Ms. Donna White. program co-ordinator.

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. 1' 4 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 action sends Exeter against 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 Four shooters tie at Kippen Competition was keen at Tuesday's regular shoot at the Kippen gun club with four shooters hitting 25 targets for the cham- pionship. Hitting 25 straight targets were Al Kyle. John Van Loo, Bert Mahaffey and Jim Butcher while Bill Cochrane. Jack Mills, Dale Passmore. John Anderson and Roy Lamport were successful with 24 hits. Next in line with scores of 23 were Terry Caldwell, Bruce Anderson. Jim Darl- ing, Mery Batkin, Grant McGregor. Paul Johnson and Barry Miller. Hitting 22 each were John Hessels.

Bantam girls oust Elimville The Exeter "B" Bantam Girls team have won the first round of playoffs putting out Elimville bantam girls In a best -of-three series. The first game was played Tuesday in Exeter with some strong hitting provided by Brenda Waldeck, Brenda Thompson, and Heather Jameson.

FAIRBAIRN IN CANADIAN FINAL A former Exeter athlete is competing this week in the Canadian men's fastball championships being held in Ottawa. Bill Fairbairn will be in centre field when the Sarnia Glis team participates in the Dominion playoffs.

Staff photo Ladies victorious in lawn bowling The ladies _reigned supreme at the Exeter lawn bowling club this week as they took first prize honours in two regular jitneys. Emma Campbell scored two victories and an aggregate of 30 to win the Thursday competition. Wilf Shapton was the runnerup with an aggregate score of 24. Mabel McKnight was third with a score of 22 while Marinus Marsman and Percy Campbell were deadlocked with aggregates of 21 and Percy Campbell scored an 18.

In the sixth, Brian Horner walked and rounded the bases on a single from the bat of Jeff Fuller. Easterbrook, Al Geiser and Rick Lindenfield provided hits for two runs in the seventh, the first two were back to help provide another run in the eighth and Rich Fletcher singled and scored in the ninth. Manager Joe Fulop used his entire bench Thursday night substituting for everyone except pitcher Jeff Fuller and catcher Kevin Easterbrook. Fulop used the same method Saturday with only first baseman Bruce Shaw and second sacker Steve Pearce going all the way. In the second game, the Exeter boys decided the verdict early with four runs in their first time to the plate and eight more in the second inning on the way to a 27 hit attack. Leadingthe prolific batting surge were Pete Tuckey, Dave Shaw, Joe Becker and Brian Horner and Bruce Shaw with three hits apiece.

Dave Belling graduated from Winston Churchill High School in June and plans on attending Webber State in Utah in the fall to continue his education.
