No-hitter leads Braves over Orioles
EXETER — The Exeter
Braves improved their
record to 5-1 Sunday
night with a 5-1 win over
the Goderich Orioles.
After Exeter took a 1-0
lead, the Orioles came
back to tie the game, but
it was all they would get
off Braves pitcher Chad
Dalrymple, who threw a
no-hitter.
Dalrymple also aided
his cause with a home -
run.
Other hits came off the
bats of Gavin Snow with a
triple and two from Chris
Mcdonald as well as a
couple from Larry Lewis.
The Braves swept an
important pair of games
the previous weekend,
with two wins against the
Zurich Rangers, by 12-6
and 3-0 scores.
The Braves have anoth-
er tough game this week-
end with Walton in town
Sunday night at 6:30 p.m.

Pigeon racing
LUCAN — Now that
May is behind us, there
are those who feel the
entire month should have
been cancelled. Among
them are pigeon racers.
Almost every race the
birds had to contend with
the rain and the cold.
Speeds were below nor-
mal.
But now that June is
here, everyone, pigeons
included, is smiling
again.
A comfortable tempera-
ture and a south-east
breeze, a tailwind,
recently made for two
interesting races.
The "long" birds were
released at St. Jerome,
Que, a distance of 651
kilometres from Exeter
at 6:15 a.m.
The top 11 positions
were all claimed by
Lucan flyers.
Brendan Cunningham
(also known as Irish -
ham) clocked his first
and winning pigeon at
14:38 p.m.
It took this pigeon eight
hours and 23 minutes to
fly from St. Jerome back
to its home loft in Lucan.
Its official speed was
1,298 meters/minute.
Norm Hardy clocked
five racers within the
next five minutes.
They took positions
two, three, four, five and
seven. Brother Jack
Hardy won positions nine
and 10.
Jim Whitworth from
the Forest area also
placed very well.
Al de Haan had two
birds that placed in the
middle of the score sheet.
Todd McPherson found
his birds lower on the
score sheet than usual.
Some claim that his
nervousness about his
imminent wedding
rubbed off on his birds.
On the same day the
"short" birds were
released from Brockville,
Ont., a distance of 524
kilometres from Arkona,
where junior member
Jus Veens managed to
clock the winner; and
take second place as
well.
Respective speeds were
1,310 and 1,303
meters/minute.
Whitworth's Cedar Loft
captured positions three
and 11.
Norm Hardy took posi-
tions four and five; broth-
er Jack again a length
behind, but good for
positions seven and 12.
Brendan Cunningham
placed sixth and thir-
teenth. Exeter's Al de
Haan was up in the
clouds over winning posi-
tions nine and ten.
And, again, Todd
McPherson's birds stayed
the course, but lagged a
bit.
