Trims Godexncii Friday night the home team pulled an upset over Goderich with a 13-6 victory. After God­ erich had pushed across a run in the first, Robinson, the lead­ off batter for the locals, con­ nected with a double and from then on the Exeter bats show­ ed more punch than in many a moon. Before the initial inning was over, the locals were in front 3-1. They had a big inning in the fourth and came through with seven more runs and added another three for good measure in the sixth. The win gave Mor­ ton his second xnound victory in four starts. Faulkner went the distance for the visitors', He gave up nine hits and his teammates aided the local cause with ten errors. Batting honors for the locals went to Morton with a single and a double in three times at bat. Robinson, Harry Holtzman and Hughes also collected dou­ bles. Morton allowed Goderich no more than singles with Mil­ lar getting two of them in three times at bat for Goderich’s best Kincardine and Centralia will stage an exhibition softball tilt at Exeter Community Park next Wednesday night. Last Saturday night the Cen­ tralia team was in Kincardine at the opening of the new flood­ lighted park and won from the home team by a 5-0 score. The game was Played before some 2,000 fans. Noseworthy and Grayer divided the pitching chore in the shut-out effort. The tilt in Exeter is a return match and should prove to be one of the best games of the season on the local diamond. On July 1st the powerful club from the port won the tourna­ ment in Seaforth. In the pre­ liminaries the Airmen took Stratford with highly rated Mc­ Gee on the mound, by the count of 9-4. Noseworthy chucked for the port. In the nightcap 'finals Centralia won convincingly from Seaforth, who had put out Dub­ lin ,by a score of 13-7. Grayer and Noseworthy did the hurling for the winners. While next Wednesday night will be the first opportunity to see the Intermediate "A” soft- ballers in action it may not be the last. The sports staff at Centralia is also dickering to bring a team up from Windsor to play here. Scanning the SPORTS Dy“SCOOP” Dentist: “Open wider ! wider! wider!

They scored in all but the second inning when Penhale pitched to but three men. St. Marys took the lead in the first frame with four runs, Ex­ eter got three of them back be­ fore the inning was over and went ahead in the second with two more runs.

After picking on the top place Goder­ ich nine last 'Friday night it was thought that maybe they had hit a winning stride. But Monday night proved otherwise when they took a drubbing from the last place St. Marys team. « * * And ain’t fans cruel, think, the boys who are trying desper­ ately to hit a winning combina­ tion. Several of the players took quite a tongue lashing from them Monday night. Ho hum, I guess it’s their privilege. They pay to see a ball game but nevertheless it is sometimes hard to take on an off night. * * 4 * Maybe a change of scenery will help the club., Let’s hope so. They now have four games out of town before meeting Lu­ can on the home diamond on the 26th. i Smith Leads Exeter Club at the Plate In the twelve games played this season Gerry Smith with fourteen hits in 35 times at bat leads the Exeter hardball team at the plate.
