Although the tribe was facing a rather shaky combination of age and youth in the Clinton squad, they showed a little more hitting power and more Stable fielding than in their opener with Dashwood. With more work and extra mound strength, the Mohawks could sweep the league. Manager Jim Fairbairn and Coach Ed Hunter-Duvar have a lot of time to put in yet to smooth off the rough edges of this new Exeter squad but con­ sidering the handicaps of an un­ fortunate late start and bad weather, they are doing well. When they show here in the local opener Friday against Dashwood, the Mohawks might turn the tables on last year’s OBA champions. Mitro Backbone. The Clinton game showed that the pitching prowess of Steve Mitro is still the backbone of the righthander seven-inning one earned workout and they’re still to be given a good test. Monday night's outfield was Fred Darling, Harry Holtzman and George Glepdinning. They only had one fly all night.

The young struck out 15 in the match. He gave up run and five hits. Despite a hand injury, hard­ working Bob Meharg worked the winning pitcher for the route and paced the club at bat two singles. New infield addition, “Red” Loader, showed some come hustle in his second- base spot and although bobbled promises spark to Martyne, handled first in the game. He’s a leftie. Ron Howe, at short, and Lome Haugh, at the hot corner, completed the infield.

What with juveniles and airmen, there wore seven or eight fellows warming the wood. Mohawks won Monday's ggme in the third with three runs on singles by Howe, Haugh, Meharg and Loader. Martyne added an­ other in the fourth with a single, a steal and a wild pitch. He snatched two bases in the sixth to add the fifth run when Steve Mitro hit a triple, longest ball of the game. Meharg counted Ex­ eter’s final run after hitting a single in the seventh. Clinton Colts, under veteran manager Hugh Hawkins, have a number of young fellows, includ­ ing some Seaforth talent, to complement the prowess of vete­ rans like Hank McEwan, Bud Schoenhals, John Wilson and Doug Bartliff. Young Flinger Bartliff started on the mound for the Colts but was relieved by young 14-year-old Ron Hugill in the sixth. Although the boy allowed two runs, he whiffed three of the eight men he faced.

Tuesday the junior girls will be running the base paths when Heather MacNaughton’s Nite Hawks go against Nancy Boyle's Mohawks, and on Saturday morn­ ing, Eleanor Heywood’s Toma­ hawks will be out to scalp Nancy’s Mohawks, and on Tues­ day,, Jung 8, the Nite_ Hawks come right Tomahawks. Watch the Wee baseball wood’s Leafs Boyle’s Havana club Wednesday and the Leafs tackle Bev Irvine’s Giants on Saturday. The Giants have a return engagement, on Wednesday, June 9, with ‘'Ha­ vana. In the bantam house league the curtain goes up for the first game on Thursday (tonight) from 4.00 to 5.30 p.m. with E. Ince’s Yankees playing host to J. Hennessey’s hustling Cleveland club. In the WOAA minor baseball division we have teams entered in all brackets or age groups with coaches and managers for each team. The Pee Wee entry in WOAA will be coached by Watson and managed by Westman. No grouping has drawn up as yet. The Bantam entry in the WOAA will be in a WOAA grouping with Mit­ chell, Wingham and Goderich. The midget entry in the WO­ AA will be coached by Bob Rus? sell and J. Fuller and managed by Bob Nicol and ed in a league Clinton, Mitchell, due to a lack of WOAA for juvenile competition, the juvenile entry, coached by Barry Doak and Bruce Glenn, will be in the same group. A total of 12 teams will be play­ ing in our minor baseball league with approximately 150 boys and girls taking part. Once again the surplus money from the Minor Athletic Associa­ tion will be used to further sponsor and promote minor baseball. However, a very important part of our baseball set-up will be the transportation managers each of the service clubs will be asked to provide. Those people donating cars for out-of-town trips are, as well, the backbone of this organiza­ tion. Another very important part or role yet to be filled is the umpire problem. However, it is hoped some umpires may be drafted from the senior Mo­ hawks. Senior Softball The Senior Girls’ Softball is in a very unsettled condition. A re­ port in the London press grouped Exeter with Clinton RCAF, Mit­ chell, Lucan and Ilderton, but frOiii otlior i’ODOi’ts it is xToui)tt'itl if this group will operate. At present I am working with Bill Henderson, of Ilderton, on a re­ vamped grouping. It Is hoped the WOAA will sanction the grouping when and if completed. Meet Coaches Monday night ail WOAA Ban­ tams, Midgets and juveniles were organized at a “Meet Your Coach and Manager” night. Each was told the nights available for practice on the diamond. A tem­ porary schedule for use of the diamonds has been drawn up, but of course any night the Mo­ hawks have a practice, all other teams will have to revert to the use of the softball diamonds, The men’s softball diamond will be In. use at least Tuesdays back at Eleanor’s fur fly in the Pee division. Bill Hey- i go against F. the Dick Ron been will be group- with Auburn, Goderich and, teams in the and Thursday for recreation soft­ ball league and will be used for all house league baseball games with base distances of for bantam and 80 feet Wees. The girls’ softball will be used by senior girls entry and girls’ house league softball games and practices. There will be ball every night of the week at Exeter Community Park ex­ cepting Saturday and Sunday, Bowling Leagues A vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Francois at the bowling alleys for carrying on the minor bowling league in my absence. Last Saturday was the first round of the playoffs. The final league standings were: Girls, Roller Coasters 12, Alley Gals 10, Happy Gals 9, Pin Poppettes 5; boys, Whizz Bangs 11, Pin Boys 7, Big Six 6, Spare Parts 6. In the first round of the sud­ den death knockout series the Happy Gals defeated the Pin Poppettes. High scorers with no handicaps were M. Francois with 187 and D. Ryckman with 178. In the other game, it was nip and tuck as Alley Gals knocked off the Roller Coasters with a strong finish. High scorers for the winners were S. Walper 179 and Julie Ross with 175. Finals for the Francois trophy is a sud­ den death series on Saturday, June 5, between the Happy Gals and the Alley Gals. In the boys’ league, the Whizz Bangs took a one-point lead in the best-of-four series, losing the first game to the Pin Boys but coming back strong in the sec­ ond game to gain the one point advantage by virtue of their win and total pins score. High were J. Crocker with 172 Hodgins with 168. Our minor bowling has very successful and next while the boys are playing hoc­ key, the girls will be bowling on Saturday mornings and if possible, it is hoped to have a minor bowling tournament dur­ ing the Easter holidays with teams competing from all over Ontario. Next Senior Citizens’ get-to­ gether will be on Tuesday, June 8. x Swimming Due to the lack of good swim­ ming facilities in Exeter for teaching boys and girls, we have to go further afield. Last year an attempt was made to provide in­ struction but this failed. How­ ever, this year Roy McConnigle of the Seaforth Lions went to bat for us and notified me today that their facilities are at our disposal free of charge for the summer playground period. In all likelihood, Lions and Kins­ men will work hand in hand on this project and be incorporated into our Summer Playground Program. Hats off to the Sea­ forth Lions Club for their won­ derful gesture. Each child will be assessed a membership fee and for this fee wo will guarantee a number of lessons and set up a progressive system whereby he or she will have the opportunity of passing tests at the end of the specified period. However, no boy or girl will be hampered by the lack of funds from participating in these classes. A lifeguard will super­ vise all lessons. Looks like a bigger and better playground program this sum­ mer. Parents be sure to register your children early for a sum- mor of supervised fun and frolic. 90 feet for Pee diamond scorers and G. proved winter Glendinnlng, rf Martyne, lb .. Mitro, p .........

Zurich Takes Second Spot Mitchell Legionaires are still on top of the Huron-Perth but they're seriously threatened by a fast, young team from Zurich. The Legionaires pounded St. Marys 11-1 to win their third tilt of the season and put them in the top spot. Zurich defeated Strathroy 16-4 and edged Clinton RCAF 9-4 for the two wins which pushed them into second place. The Flyers have Ron Heller back on the mound and a new catcher in Tom Rawlings. Their hustling infield has an accent on youth with Pete Cundy at first, Don O’Brien at second, Doug O’Brien at short and Bill Yungblut on third. Exeter Mohawks and Clinton airmen are tied for third with one win and one loss each. The Dashwood game with Mit­ chell last week was postponed so the Tigers have only one one- point victory. The four teams which are play­ ing the double schedule—Dash­ wood, Exeter, Zurich and Mit­ chell—receive only one point for a win when they play each other. When either of the teams plays one of the other four teams, how­ ever, Why Cook Your Sunday Dinner? Order from Pat and Take It Home Ready to Serve!
