Congratulations
- Three teams won championships on area baseball
-diamonds Sunday afternoon and evening.
The Exeter Saveway team won the Southwestern
Fastball Association crown Sunday night with their
fourth straight victory over Nairn.
Pacing the 4-0 Exeter win was a one-hitterpitching
performance by Brian "Ace" Hodgins.
Congratulations to the Saveway dub and Brian for
his great individual effort.
This is the second time in four years that an Exeter
team has won this championship. In 1976 the Royals
turned the trick.
Only four players remain from 1976. They are
Brian Hodgins. Doug Pearson, Dennis Bierling and
Paul McKnight.
Other members of the 1976 club were Jim Pfaff,
Terry Bourne, Jack Glover, Pete Glover. Joe O'Rourke.
Scott Burton. Barn Baynham, Bill Farquhar, Gord
Mauer and Ron Mason.
The same congrats go to the Exeter midgets and
Dashwood bantams. Each team won a Western Ontario
Athletic Association championship in their categories.
The Exeter club defeated Kincardine 4-1 in
Crediton Sunday afternoon and the Dashwood
youngsters ousted Wingham.
A. crucial week
This is the final week of the major league baseball
season and definitely the most important in the 11 year
existence of the Montreal Expos.
.As this is being written Sunday night. the Expos
hold a narrow one-half game lead over the Pittsburgh
Pirates and have one extra game to play.
The two contenders in the National league eastern
division meet head-on in four games early this week.
The final game between the Expos and Pirates tonight,
Wednesday will be shown on CBC television.
If the Expos reach the 100 win mark they would
.certainly win the pennant. They need seven victories to
reach that magic mark and -at --least two of those would
have to be over the Pirates and that would do the trick.
The Montreal club seems to have a slight edge in
the schedule. Thea meet the lowly Atlanta Braves in a
doubleheader Thursday w hile the Pirates meet St. Louis
and Chicago.
While the Expos may be somewhat less experienced
in pressure play than the Pirates, their manager Dick
Williams could make the dilTerence to put them into the
World Series.
Williams is trying to win his fifth pennant as a
manager. He won league championships two years each
with the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics.
He was fired at Boston because he was too mean.
Williams disputes this description saying. "I'm • not
tough; all i ask it that the players hustle and don't beat
them selves."
The Expos all season long have shown the ability to
bounce back from almost sure defeat. They have won 39
games so far this year by coming from behind in the
eighth or ninth inning.

Bali team protests
Town of Exeter Recreation
Commit e,.
We; tabtl4fie undersigned
members of Exeter Saveway
Fastball Team, wish to lodge
:an official protest to the
Committee over the recent
incident involving removal
of the home -run fence at the
softball diamond to ac-
commodate theExeter Fair.
We obtained permission
from the Recreation Com-
mittee to erect a fence, and
various softball and hardball
teams have benefitted from
it throughout the year. We
would like to point out that
the expense for the fence
came entirely from the
Saveway team, and mem-
bers of the Recreation
League and Hardball League
aided us in the labour to
construct the fence.
The final game of the
league championship was
played on Sunday night. We
arrived at the park in the
afternoon to find the
diamond littered with ap-
ples, papers, and various
forms of garbage, and the
fence removed. A' further
s1'`f1'-fid' Ifie ab"se
bags and liner had all been
removed from the storage
shed to places unknown. A
call to the recreation
director as to why the fence
was not reconstructed
.. guOJIt..eto acceptable an-
swer-.
Apparently the prospect of
a championship teat from
the Southwestern Fastball
League has little appeal to
0(e recreation people of
•
Exeter. No one •bothered to
Pi.. a team
'''ii“ r a on still in
use, or if the fence, bases,
and liner was needed. The
local newspdper has carried
full reports as well as
editorial comments as to the
progress' of the team to the
championship in recent
weeks.Perhaps the local
recreation people respon-
sible for the diamond do not
read the local sports com-
ments
We would like to know who
authorized removal of the
fence and the equipment,
and why the same person
was not responsible for the
reconstruction of the fence
and the return of the
equipment in time for the
game on Sunday night. We
have no alternative but to
present the matter to the
committee and the public, in
the Sincere hope that it may
prevent another occurrence
to our team or another team
in the area in the future.

Exeter Saveway Fastball

Centennials lose 2-1
An early goal by West
Williams' . Don Van
Massenhoven became the
door -closer on Exeter
Centennials' chances for
entry into the A -division'
finals of Ausable district of
Ausable district soccer.
West Williams, playing at
home, squeaked by Exeter 2-
1 on Sunday.
The Centennials now go
into B-div.ision contention
with an opening semi-final
game at Canner's field at 4
p.m., Sunday, 30 September.
Their opponents will be
Huron Park.
All the scoring in the West
Williams game happened in
the first half.
Van Massenhoven's goal
went in on a bounce within
tnoments of the start. Then,
at 35 minutes. Exeter's Al
Hern crossed the ball for
Martin DeBruyn to head in
for an equalizer. But at 44
minutes, Ted VanWeert put
West Williams into the lead
with the game -winner from a
scramble in front of the
Exeter net.
The Centennials' best
chancese' seemed to come
midway through the first
half when they literally had
West Williams on the run.
West Williams, however,
countered in the final 45
minutes with long,searching
shots down the centre, which
they then played off for
attacks from the wings.
Exeter managed to contain
these, but wasn't able to
come off the defensive
quickly enough or often
enough to turn the game
around,
