Walter "Turk’* Broda added
another shutout to his longv list
when his National,Hockey League
All-Stars blanked Centralia Fly
ers 7-0 in an exhibition sottball
game Wednesday night.
The game was sponsored hy
the newly-formed Exeter Kins
men and a thousand people turn
ed out to see the hockey stars
play ball,
With the puck-chasers was
Frankie Morris, of football fame,
who played line foi- the Toronto
Argos and recently signed with
Edmonton. Frankie was .the man
who stopped the RCAF team in
their bid for victory. He struck
out 14 men as he hurled the all
stars to triumph. Though Cen
tralia played .a sparkling game
afield they were held to two hits
at the plate,
Among the stars were Cal Gar
diner, Fleming Mackell, Gus
Mortson, Harry Watson of the
Toronto Maple Leafs; Bill
Quackenbush, all-star defense
man with the Boston Bruins;
Eddie Harrison of Boston Bruins
and Chick Webster from New
York Rangers.
Turk Broda, who spoke to the
crowd after the game, expressed
appreciation to the crowd for
turning out. He said the Maple
Leafs would be glad to send
somebody to speak to young
hockey enthusiasts during the
winter.
Doug Grayer,- Bill Thornton
and Andy Andrews shared pitch
ing chores for the airport team.
Frank Armstrong was catcher.
Centralia’s biggest threat came
in the last of the ninth when
they filled the bases. One of the
nicest plays of the game was a
double play by Centralia in the
last of the eighth. Shortstop Al
Pickering grabbed a hot ground
er hit by Harry Watson, flipped
the ball to Ed. White at second
who relayed to Knobby Walsh at.
first.
Flem Mackell was a standout
fielder on the all-star team. Play
ing shortstop, the chunky right
winger showed he was as fast on
the diamond as he is on skates.
Red-haired Cal Gardiner was one
of the favourites of the crowd as
he horsed around first base.
The proceeds from the game
amounted to nearly <$200 which
will be put to the Kinsmen Play
ground Fund.
The airport team appeared
through the courtesy of Group
Captain W. F. M. Newson, D.S.O.,
D.F.C, and bar, and donated its
services to the cause.

Mo re Pheasants
Officials of the Exeter Game
Conservation Club expect to re
ceive 700 day-old pheasants from
the Department of Game and
Fisheries in the near future. A
large colony house from Wein’s
Hatchery has been secured to
accommodate the birds.
This is the second year of a
long-term project to restock local
forests with game birds. The pro
vincial government department
and the club are cooperating on
the scheme.
Through the winter, 24 birds
have been harboured by the club
for breeding. Already 470 birds
have been hatched. Three hund
red have been distributed around
the district and 170 eggs have
been hatched at Ted Pooley’s
farm.
Game club officials say that
pheasants which were released
last year wintered very well and
nests have been found through
out the area. Over 1,000 birds
were released last summer.

Magazine Lauds
Clint Hodgins
Clint Hodgins, a native of
Clandeboye who is making his
mark in the harness raving field,
was recently mentioned in Time
magazine, one of the top-flight
international weeklies. Time calls
Hodgins “one of the top drivers
in the U.S. last year.” The race
referred to in the article is one
held last week at Roosevelt Race
way. Following is the account:
“The rhy th m i. e dip-clop of
hoofs tapping down Roosevelt
Raceway’s brown half-mile oval
was smothered by a swelling roar
from the stands as the six-horse
field came into the final turn.
With less than a quarter-mile to
go, a fast-stepping brown mare
named Proximity, unbeaten in
five starts this year, had not
made a move out of her third-
place rut along .the rail.
“But big, savvy Canadian Clint
Hodgins, one of, the top drivers
in the U.S. last year, knew he
had plenty of horse left as he
hit the top of the stretch. He
gave the mare her head. That
was all- Proximity needed. She
swung the 3 6-pound sulky out
for a clear shot at the brilliantly
lighted finish, breezed effortless
ly past the leaders and went on
to win by 2% lengths. Said one
of Proximity’s admirers after
wards: ‘It was just as if Hodgins
had stepped on an accelerator.’
“At the peak of her career last
week, eiglit-year-old Proximity
was rapidly becoming the Man o’
War of trotting. Just shipped
east from Santa Anita, where she
cracked three world records (and
Avon $28,000), Proximity’s 1950
Eastern debut kept her Avinning
stride unbroken. Her .mile last
Aveek Avas clocked in 2:01 1/5, a
new Avorld record (by 1/10 of a
second) for a half-mile track.”
Hensall, Clinton Tie
Hensall and Clinton Radar
played to a 10-10 tie on the Hen
sall diamond, Monday night.
Clinton scored four early runs
to take the lead but Hensall
came from behind tAvice and led
10-9 going into the last inning.
Mickle and Glenn pitched for
Hensall Avith Horton catching.
Manager Blasts
Clinton Coifs Outlast Exeter
Intermediates In
It was a slug-fest Monday
night when Clinton Colts came
to town. The slugging visitors
teed off in the first frame and
the locals grasped the tune to
give the home fans a change in
style, in the hitting department,
that is. The Colts slammed out
twenty hits to our fifteen and
grabbed the game 12-8, It was
Exeter’s fourth straight loss.
Three big runs in the first in
ning started the Colts on the
way. For the next three innings
Johnny Bowman silenced those
well known booming bats and in
the last of the third Nicol, Sey
mour and Burns hit three sin
gles in a row and Harry Holtz
man slammed out a double for
four straight hits. Shaw ground
ed out and Christie slapped out
a double. Four Exetei' runs
came in and the locals were in
the lead,
However, in the fifth the
Colts got galloping again and
were in front. 7-4 with four big
runs. They increased their lead
in the final stretch with two in
the sixth and three in the eighth
and last frame.
The locals got one back in
the last of the sixth when Dar
ling went in to pinch-hit for
Ellis and came up with a single
and then scored on Seymour’s
bingle. Exeter scored their other
three runs in the eighth. Sey
mour, first up, drew a walk.
Burns, Holtzman and Christie
followed with singles, the first
three crossing the plate.
It was a tough night for the
pit e li ers. Both Bowman and
Pearson who started were hit

Critical Fans
Critical fans at the local ball
diamond got a blast from Man
ager Jim Fairbairn this week.
Jim says “Fans of Exeter avIio
like to come up to the ball para |
to take their suite out on the J
players van save 35 rents by
staying at home.”
The players are getting discouraged, awarding to Jim, be-1
cause the fans are riding them i all the time. "We get better |
support Avlirn Ave go out of i town," he said. ]
“If the fans can’t root for the
home team they can stay at
home.” Jim forts all expenses
for the club out of his oavu pocket and if fans come to the |
games just to ride the players,
he’d sooner have them stay at
h o m e, even if it means less
money to finance the club.
“They’ve ruined several play
ers now and it looks like they’re
trying to ruin baseball in the;
town, We’ll be back in there
next year whether the fans like
it or not.”
“Farm products,” complained
the customer, "cost a good deal
more than they used to.”
“Sure they do!” agreed Far
mer Jones. “When a farmer has
to know the botanical name of
what he is raising, and the zo
ological name of the insect that
eats it, and the Chemical name
of what kills it, somebody’s got
to pay.”
