EXETER - The Great Lakes Sen- ior Baseball League senior begins Friday for the local Exeter Express and despite losing four key players are looking to be competitive.

"I think we'll be alright," said second baseman Rob Dickey who has been taking care of some of the administrative duties for the club. Exeter opens against host Lake- side on Friday and their 22 -game regular season schedule continues DONALD S. CHERRY FOR PRIME MINISTER! At the urging of millions of people, I've decided to throw my hat into the ring for the P.C. PARTY. It is time the right wing people are represented and the people who pay the piper are going to start calling the tune. The honest hardworking guys and gals are sick and ,pred of paying •the freight for CHEATERS, fleoplavdio don't want to week and make a living at Cheating On everyihattd-oil from �Gbireittinent. People, like myself doil't Mind helping the sick a td disabled and those who can't work who really need assistance and I know what it's like to be unemployed. In the early seventies I worked 8 hours a day and the guy handed me 16 bucks. That's right, 2 dollars an hour and I had to supply my own transportation! I had no pension, no health benefits, no trade skills, no education and no job or prospects, but I did have 2 kids to feed and clothe. So, I feel for the guy who can't get a job and God love ya but for the SLIME BALLS who sit at home collecting poagy and welfare who laugh at the rules and regulations with no intentions of looking for a job.... LOOK OUT!! ATTILA THE HUN is here and your days of loaf- ing are over. HERE'S MY PLATFORM 1. Anybody caught cheating with WELFARE will be forced to sit and watch 10 hours of a SWEDISH and FINNISH hockey game.(I know this is cruel and unusual punishment, but we must stop this welfare fraud!) 2. Declare war on any country that steals our fish, from NEW- FOUNDLAND h one Cod in our water and your boat will be seized and yoall have to deal with Captain BOB PROBERT. 3. My Bill of Human rights would include and declare that since we have spent billions on the METRIC SYSTEM, that when we have an escaped murderer who's at large, we should not give his de- scription like 5 ft and 180 lbs. I've noticed that while our left wing media gives almost everything in metric, when it comes to murder- ers at large, for some reason they use the Imperial system. This must stop! Afterall. murderers have rjghts too. Let's give them a chance. 4. Bring back the DEATH PENALTY! By "hanging" of course so save some money on electricity and also save by using the rope over and over. Environmentally friendly too. 5. For every FRENCH sign in ONTARIO, one ENGLISH sign must go up in QUEBEC. 6. A fund set up to send anybody who lands in CANADA without a passport (so they can live off the country s • • ata;a refugee. living quarters, food, OHIP. etc., all on the poor : •: of the taxpayer for 5 years until our crowded courts get to them.,'.. And by then they might have had 10 kids) OUT! This fund would pay the expense of putting them back on a slow boat to • where they came from. 7. Finally, I have a confession to make. (Like my learned Honourable opponents in the P.M. race did when they confessed to smoking a joint and inhaling too.) I, DONALD S. CHER- RY in my past have on occasion have had the odd pint and must sorrowfully admit swallowing too! coya' We4, Arr- * Wed. * Thurs.

Friday night under very clear skies, the two clubs, both in the season openers, battled to a 3-3 stalemate until the fourth inning when Lucan went ahead thanks to a couple of base hits. The hosts climbed to a huge 12-4 lead after five full innings but Exet- er roared back and scored three runs in the top of the sixth frame and exploded for six in the seventh inning to go up by one. But Lucan managed to put a pair across in their half of the seventh to win the game. Besides Agnew, third baseman Leigh Mathieson had a good night at the plate as he had a single, dou- ble and a two run homer in the sixth. The next batter after Mathie- son was Dave Schwindt who fol- lowed with a solo shot of his own. For Lucan, shortstop Steve Nix- on who made a couple of nice de- fensive plays, had three singles. From the dugout: The Exeter Juniors are in need of a manager, anyone wishing to help out on the administrative side 'of things, please contact Brad Gregus at 235- 2932 or John Gillespie a 236- 7285...Clinton has dropped out of the WJBL but will have a team in the midget Ieague...The Alvin Wil- lert Field in Exeter will be the site of a four -team junior tournament on Saturday...

Exeter's entry into the South Perth Men's Fastball League has lost its number one pitcher but the local club is still looking towards having a competitive season. Hurler Derwyn Hodgins has left to join the Shed- den Pests of the St. Thomas and District League and joining him is catcher Brian Noyes who was also with the Imperials in 1992. "You can't help but be disappointed when you lose one of the best fastball pitchers in Ontario," said coach Fred Cook. Cook is back at the helm of the team after Chuck Humbey guided last year's club to the league finals where they were beaten by the St. Marys Selects. Two years ago, Exeter bowed to Sebringville Juniors in the championship series. This spring, the Imperials, which open their sched- ule tomorrow night in Exeter against the Tavistock Merchants will go with Dan Heywood and Rick Scrimgeour on the mound. "In the past our offence has suffered, we thought we just needed one or two runs to win. We've got more speed this year and well have to manufacture more runs." Brian Sowerby, who has played in London the past several years will be behind the plate. He was with Exeter five years ago and Cook describes him as, "an above average defensive catcher." Kevin Lightfoot returns at first base while Rod Johnston, Heywood at shortstop and Kevin Windsor at third round out the infield. Mike I)esjardine is ver- satile and can play second, short or third. Hard hitting Mike Neil, his brother Darren and speedy Sandy Hyde will be in the outfield. "It's not a bad mixture of veterans and relatively young guys," said Cook. 4Ji : .14eter.Imperi s 1993 schedule May 6 - Tavistock Merchants at Exeter, 9 pm.
