Great records
The honorary captains of the National and
American league teams in the Juy 17 all-star game
should feel right at home.
They are Lefty Gomez and Carl Hubbell. two of
the best southpaws ever to toss a baseball.
Gomez was the American league.starting pitcher
in five all-star games and shared the distinction with
Lefty Grove of being the American league outstanding
left-hander of the 1930's.
Gomez often talks about his reputation as a hitter.
He said recently. "I was the worst hitter you ever
saw. Last year. I underwent open heart surgery. They
performed a triple bypass. I told the doctor it was the
first triple I'd ever had in my life."
This year's NL honorary captain Carl Hubbell was
a star for the New York Giants through the 1930's. .
His big distinction came in the 1934 all-star game
when he struck out five consecutive American league
batters. They were Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Jimmy
Foxx. Al Simmons and Joe Cronin.
The chances of another son following in -his
father's footsteps as a successful pitcher in the big
leagues are getting better.
The latest is Steve Trout. son of former Detroit
Tiger star Paul 'Dizzy' Trout. The younger Trout is a
bit different than his father. He is a southpaw and has
spent most of the first part of the season as a reliever.
Only last week he was moved into the starting rota-
tion.
Steve Trout- has said he didn't like the bull pen.
This would cause one to remark. "He probably felt
like a.fish out of water."
Holiday at home
With the gas shortage in the United States we
would suspect and expect that many of our Ontario
`residents will be doing their travelling and holidaying
a little closer'to home. In this regard with many more
getting the camping bug each year we would like to
pass along a little information regarding the many
Provincial Parks in Ontario.
There are now 128 provincial parks in operation.
The closest of course to this area is the Pinery Park
with .a close second going to Point Farms Provincial
Park. just north of Goderich.
As a visitor to a provincial park you have a
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules
and regulations that govern operation of the park.
At most parks. the Provincial Parks Act and Li-
quor License Act are in force for your benefit and the
protection of park property.
All visitors must enter parks through the official
entrance and no more than six persons may occupy a
campsite. except a single family group consisting of
parents and unmarried children of the same
household.
Campsites may not be left unattended for a period
longer than 48 hours, nor for a period exceeding eight
hours during the fir t 24 hours after the permit has
been issued.
Only registered guests may remain in the park
after the posted hours of closing and no person may
camp in the same provincial park more than 23 days in
a year without permission.
Vehicles must be parked in areas designated for
•tb't- ',OVViii1gg ' ehivie rn a rark,Yd on
The consumption of alcoholic beverages or posses-
sion of containers is allowed only on your campsite
and pets must be leashed and kept out of designated
swimming areas and off the beach.
• The park superintendents. park warden and con-
servation officers have the same authority within a
provincial park as the Ontario Provincial Police.
EY basic rule to remember Ir AHave respect and
consideration for your fellow visitor and the park en:
vironment.
Expos flying
The Montreal Expos continue their winning ways
and the chances of a Canadian team in the 1979 World
Series are pretty good.
One of the main reasons for the Expos success is
the scarcity of injuries. Since the start of the season
manager Dick Williams has not had to make any per-
sonnel changes.
Most teams usually are forced to put at least one
player on the disabled list, but, this hasn't happened
yet in Montreal. .'
In fact -in the first 78 games only two pitchers have
missed their regular rotation.
The ogle miss was when ac' southpaw Bill Lee was
hit by a taxi while out jogging.
Fan enthusiasm is really great in.Montreal this
year. This is the .first real chance they have had to
cheer since the old Montreal Royals won the Little
World Series in 1946.

Tips from the
Exeter Tennis club
solor'
By
CARROLL REIBLICH
AND
RANDY PARSONS
The big event Cif the past
week was the round-robin
doubles event, held last
Saturday afternoon. There
was a good crowd on hand
despite the extremely warm
weather. _
The players played with
different partners for each
match and each person was
awarded one point for each
game which they won. Agnes
Cottrell was the top finisher
with 22 Points and was
awarded a trophy for her
efforts.
Marlene Parsons and Fran
Shaw tied for second With 18
points each. They each
received a can of tennis
balls.
Also in contention, but out
of the prize -money. were Art
Whilsmith, Al Horton,
Marlene Moore, and Damion
Solomon. Everyone who
turned out had a great time.
The second session of
lessons is now in progress.
However, registration can
still be made by calling 235-
1304 as soon as possible.
Carroll is organizing a
Junior Team this month and
any interested juniors should
contact him at the courts, if
they have not already done
so.
- On the week end some
members from other clubs
will be coming to Exeter to
play against some of our
members. Players belonging
to the club should expect a
phone call. as soon as the
details of this tournament
are finalized. We intend to
plan more of these ex-
changes for later in the
season and we will give our
members lots of notice
before the next one.
The Ready Position
This -is the stance used
between shots to be prepared
for your next return.
The body should be facing
the net and the racquet
Should be about waist high
with the head highest. The

racquet head if it is placed
under the upper part of the
shaft.
The players weight should
be slightly forward on the
balls of the feet. while the
feet are a comfortable
distance apart. •
The ready position is the
foundation for all strokes
and should be a very relaxed
one since it is used as much
as possible. Without this
position, you will seldom be
prepared to make your next
shot.
To get in the habit, use this
stance when hitting against
the wall. even if this means
letting the ball bounce twice
between' strokes, and the
rewards will be worth it.
