Campbell who along with Bob Rowe and Jack Chipchase will be guiding the fortunes of the Exeter Mohawks intermediate hockey club sends along information regarding the 1985-86 season. A few weeks ago we reported the Mohawks had been accepted as an Ontario Hockey Association intermediate "C" club and would be competing aga,irnst clubs from the south. The Mohawks will be playing in the "C" division, but the opposition will be coming from the north and not the south. It will be a seven team league. Included will be the defending champion Elora Rocks, New Hamburg, Tavistock, Palmerston and Hillsburg along with new clubs from Exeter and Arthur. Believe it or not, it's only two months to the first league home game for the Mohawks. They will be playing host to Hillsburg on Sunday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the South Huron Rec Centre. Exciting finish The pennant race in the American league eastern division acould he decided in the last three games of the schedule. • Although the Toronto Blue Jays still lead by four games, the ▪ New York Yankees are coming on strong.

The final game of the original schedule may not turn out to be the last. A game between Toronto and Baltimore cancelled. because of the strike will be played if it would have any bearing on the standings. Since Billy Martin returned as Yankee manager the Bronx Bombers have been almost unbelievable. Since the strike they have Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh whittled five games off the Blue Jays lead. If the Toronto club gets into the 1985 World Series, it will create a real problem for officials of CNE Stadium. The first and second games of the Fall Classic are scheduled for Toronto on October 19 and 20 and the sixth and seventh con- tests on October 26 and 27.

Three tight races The only team which appears to have a s nooth road to a pen- nant is the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL west. They have a com- fortable eight game lead. The battle in the National east between the Mets and Cards will likely go down to the wire and the same could happen between the Jays and Yankees and also with Kansas City and California. Rose gets closer Pete Rose should beat Ty Cobb's hit record at home in Cin- cinatti. After three games early this week in Pittsburgh, the Reds have 10 games at home and Pete only needs 15 more base hits. Baseball trivia It was 34 years ago Monday that Bill Veeck of the St. Louis Browns used a midget Eddie Gaedel. The 43 inch tall ball player drew a walk. One{of the pitchers on that team was current Blue Jays pit- ching coach Al Widmar. The Philadelphia Phillies of 1909 had 10 straight games cancell- ed because of rain. That's a record that will never likely be broken. 0 F HAL 4 PAYS Ends Saturday at Midnight After 18 Years Norm Whiting of WHITINGS FURNITUR of Exeter is Go ; G our of The Furniture Bt�SINEss • Living room suites • Dining Room Suites • Wall Units • Coffee andi End Tables • Plus Carpet and Drapery at Liquidat on Prices • Bedroom S ites • Sofa Beds • Recliners • Waterbeds • Lamps • Pictures & Accessories • All current plus supplemented inventory up for grabs Everythi g must be cleared to the bare walls rega rd l els of cost.
