Exeter is smack in the middle of the two cities so loyalty is well divided. Just who will win the American East division Ls a mystery. The Times -Advocate asked six local people who would win. Reactions varied, here's what they said... Trivia question provided by Don Curren: Who was the last Detroit Ti- gez to have won the American League batting title? In 1961, Tigers' first baseman Norm Cash hit .361. Bobby Bilcke He's a Tigers fan. "I like them," said Bobby. Don Currell He's a very loyal Tigers fan but admits Detroit will not catch the Jays. "Toronto has fmished their slump." Don also added there are too many Jays fans who jump on and off the band wagon. Jereme Jenke Sporting a Blue Jays cap, Je- reme doesn't think the Tigers are going to win. Ray Lewis Ray said the Jays go into a slump late in the year but should win the division this sea- son because they went into that slump earlier than they usually do. "I say the Jays are going to win. Their slump is over. I don't think Detroit has the pitching.." Bob Russell Bob is another Tigers fan but unfortunately has to put his vote against his beloved team. "I don't think they are (going to win) their pitching won't hold up."

Fulop resigns Express lose twoatOBA. TTLLSONBURG It was a disappointing weekend for the Exeter Express as they lost two straight games here at the Ontario Baseball Association Senior 'D' championship tournament. On Friday, the Express fell behind early and lost 7-2 to Glanbrook. The next morning, Exeter was eliminat- ed after they were beaten 9-6 by North Bay. Disappointed with his team's performance, Exeter coach Joe Fulop told the T -A on Sunday he had re- signed. "It was embarrassing, it was terrible," said Fulop. "I blame it all on the coaching, that's why I re- signed," he said. Fulop underwent surgery recently but said his ill health did not play a factor in making his decision. "I just think it's time for a change. The health thing comes into it, but my health 'ill get better." Against Glanbrook, Exeter trailed 2-0 when starting pitcher Marty Merrier gave up three walks in the fust inning. A balk and a base hit gave Glanbrook a 3-0 lead before Exeter came back tint pulled to_ within a run.

The five -pin variety of the sport is very popular is this area, more so than we may imagine. In Zurich, for example at the Town and Country Bowling Lanes, the centre is almost filled to capacity. Marlene and Tony own and operate Town and Country and Marlene said a survey done this past summer, which included the lanes from Zu- rich, Clinton and Lucas, was quite favorable. "For the population there are maed.�wlers in our immediate area than in any other aria in (Snt i," said Marlene Bedard. "In other places there are centres changing to ten -pin and centres are being torn down." Bowling is not restricted to'a certain age group as there are seniors leagues and the Youth Bowling Council, which in Zurich hopes to have 70 youngsters. "In comparison bowling is the cheapest sport and you can go out and participate as a family." Last summer, Town and Country had a summer league but this year it was not very popular. "For one, we should have done more advertising. When you're in a tourist area its hard to get people to come inside and participate when there are outside things they can do," said Bedard. Registration for youth bowling is this weekend with the following Sat- urday the starting day. A seniors group begins on Thursday and the adult leagues begin this Saturday as well. "This year we're finding there is a turnover. There are new faces be- coming interested in the game and the old faces are changing," aid Bed- ard. 'Luings begin to roll at the Lucan Lanes the same time and owner Don Watt said participation remains steady. The seniors begin today. He said there will be about 90 youth bowlers. Watt didn't seem to be surprised about the survey which was done which showed the popularity of five -pin bowling in this area. "A lot of our bowlers are farmers and they want something to do in the summertime," said Watt. In Lucan there is an even number of men and women who bowl. and Briiin Riv d`ctiiniect and �re after they came up with back-to-back singles. Exeter's offence was limited as they had only three hits, the other was 'to Barry Baynham in the second inning. Glanbrook's defence was hot as they retired the Exet- er side in the first, fourth, fifth and seventh inning. Glanbrook's best inning offensively was the fourth when they had four runs on two hits, two walks and a pair of Exeter errors. North Bay 9, Exeter 6 In their second game, Exeter once again struggled at the plate as they only had five hits but combined with nine walks managed to get six runs. Centrefielder Don Macdonald went 2 -for -4 as he had a single, double and scored a pair of runs, one of those coming from a sixth inning walk. First baseman Dave Shaw had a double and a single and Rob Dickey laid down a bunt single in the first inning. Exeter held a commanding 4-0 lead after the second inning but North Bay tied it in the third ' .1 and add- ed another in the fourth plus- a ' : f - . run sixth inning to put the game out of reach. 0./wopiifo Golf roundup • August 28 A Flight Low Gross Marlene Parsons 46 Low Net Glenn Tripp 32 13 Flight Low Gross Sharon Passmore 51 Low Net Mary Lou Hyde 29 C Flight Low Gross Marg Prout 61 Low Net Dorothy Reynolds3l Hidden Hole 11: Doris Osgood Sponsored by: Anne Prout, Liz A Flight 1st LG Dave Holtzman 37 2nd LG Dave Hockey 41 Low NEt Jim Steen 33 B Flight 1st LG Don Cowan 38 2nd LG Ray Webb 41 3rd LG Roas Collisbsw 42 • 1st LN Larry Wein" _ 30 2nd LN Wolfgang Slawik 32 C Flight 1st LG Roy Hunter 44 1st LN Red DeGraw 33 2nd LN Wilmer Ferguson 35 D Flight 1st LG Ralph Astie 46 2nd LG Lloyd Robison 51 3rd LG Bob Coates 54 ist LN Andy DeBoer 32 2nd LN Jim Rowe 36 3rd LN Ben Fisher 37 4th LN Roas Ferguson 37 Skhta, #1 & #8 - Jim Steen #3 - Bill Thompson #6 - Brian Taylor #12 -Earl Ross original Dr. Martens $90 Shoes Vuerth's SHOES w,w,. 4 kM...w. t••1 Exeter - Goderich - Clinton John Bauman.
