The Expos and their fans can look back over a very successful season and chant the familiar phrase "Wait until next year ." The Montreal conte -from -behind abilities were the most important reasons they were able to hang in as long as they did. They pulled out 40 of their 95 victories overcoming deficits in the last two innings. Many a moon will probably shine before a replay of the National league eastern division battle between the Expos and Pirates occurs again. In most recent seasons. 95 wins such as the current record of the Expos would be good enough for the pen- nant Last year the Phillies won the same division with only 90 wins This year the Cincinnati Reds won only 91 games and won- in the west by four games over Houston Mote experience in tense pennant play was likely the key factor in the Pirates being able to outlast the Expos. In Sunday's game. most of the Montrealers seemed anxious at the plate and helped Steve Carleton in getting 13 strikeouts. The Expo pitching could be called, "a little suspect" especially when they faced the fearsome Pirates during the last week of the schedule. The Montreal club should be back in the thick of things next year as at least three of their young pitchers improve One can look for maturing from fellows like David Palmer. Scott Sanderson and Chatham's contribution Bill Atkinson • The loss of catcher Gary Carter in the last week because of injury certainty hurt the Expos. His bat and strong arm might have made the difference. Before anyone asks. we will gaze into our crystal ball and pick the Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series in six games over the Cincinatti Reds. Here's your chance to make some money by wagering on the Angels and Pirates to make the fall classic. Our decision was made after brief deliberations with Batch W9:fe. the top Detroit Tiger supporter in the area Wolfe says 'watch for the Tigers next year". He also suggests Detroit centre fielder Ron LeFtore may be on the trading block this winter. The choice of the Orioles to take the World Series is based on their record in the tough American -league eastern division They bested -the Boston Red Sox who sport two of the top six hitters in the big leagues in the persons of Jim Rice and FredLynn. Good grid start The two football teams at South Huron District High School got off to a good start in their Huron -Perth Conference openers. Thursday. Doug Ellison's junior club blanked Listowel 15-0 and the senior club coached by Ron Bogart shut out Listowel by a score of 22-0. The South Huron club are in action again on Thurs- day. The juniors will meet Stratford Central on the local field and the seniors travel to Stratford to meet Northwestern. Back to Kingston Two graduates of the Exeter minor hockey system are continuing their careers in junior hockey circles. Twin brothers Paul and Perry Pooley are back with the Kingston Canadiens in the Ontario Hockey Association Major Junior "A" series. The Kingston club appears to be off to a good start: They went undefeated in exhibition play and currently have three wins as opposed to two losses in regular season action The Pooley boys are completing their grade 13 studies at a Kingston high school. Best of luck, fellows. Silver Fox retires We spent a very enjoyable hour Friday afternoon talking to an old friend who is trying his best to retire from the senior hockey business.

Juniors Score Early - The SH juniors wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard. Early in the first quarter, Rich Fletcher blocked a Listowel kick. Good runs by Doug Fischer and Gary Spurn set up a two yard plunge for a touchdown by Norm Regier. The convert was blocked. Late in the opening period Dave Shaw's 55 yard punt was good for a single point and the Panthers were ahead 7-0. The second quarter was scoreless as a rash of penalties kept the locals from adding to the scoring. On the first play of the third quarter, a Listowel fumble set up the second South Huron major score, Norm Regier lugged the ball over the goal line again, this time from four yards out. Penalties again hurt the SHcause in the finalquarter. 'John Kernick ran two reverses for long gains, but, the final two points came as Listowel conceded in their own end zone. Clary Spurn led the Pan- thers with a strong ground game and was named the best offensive player. Defensive honours went to Dale Kerslake. Also strong on defence were Rich Fletcher and Mike Clarke. The seniors took a page from the juniors book and scored the first time they got their hands on the ball. On the first play from scrimmage Wayne Smith swept to the left side and carried 20 yards for a touch- down. Doug Hoffman con- verted and the seore was 7-0. The score. rose to 14-0 before the first quarter ended as Rick Lindenfield went five yards for a major and Doug Hoffman again kicked the extra point. In the second period, Jim Romphf broke through and tackled the Listowel quar- terback for a two point safety touch. The final South Huron six points came on a Larry Dawson seven yard touch- down gallop in the third period. Rick Lindenfield gained a whopping 162 yards on 13 carries. The longest was 73 yards. Larry Dawson went 71 yards on a dozen attempts and Wayne Smith was good for 36 yards on six tries at the Zine. The Panthers put together a total offence of 370 yards while holding Listowel to 136 yards. Coach Ron Bogart said his team looked very good for most of the first half, but added, "too many stupid penalties hurt us." He continued, "We failed to score on three different occasions from inside the 10 yard line. The defence rose to the task when we needed it •' Intermediate D HOCKEY Exeter Mo hawks Practice Fri, Oct. 5 8to9pm HURON PARK ARENA J REFRIGERATIO DOMESTIC & COMMERCIAL CENTRAL AIR SYSTEMS HEAT PUMPS MAX'S TV & APPLIANCES GRAND BEND 238-2493 Man was not meant to mix gas and oil!
