MOHAWKS NEED MEDICINE MAN —FAST!
0 gre"at white chief of the Mohawk regime,
what lies in your smoke signals for. the Exeter hoc-
key club? Will they operate in the '59-'60 campaign
or will they retire like the old men of the mountain
with their half -smoked stoggies and knitting needles?
Several young braves would like to stir up the fire to
wipe slutt g the overhanging r in deficit and start this fall
with a new :lease on life, How .about it? Let's get
started within the week!
Several hockey enthu-
siasts have been talking
up the possibilities of
this year's club since we
pounded a few words out
on it a couple of weeks
back. Mostly everyone
agrees that. something
(should be done NOW to
get the tribe back on the
warpath. The red -head
pictured on the left needs
little introduction to fans
.
around here. Jim "Red"
Loader stopped us on the
street this week and was
as keyed up as yours
truly a.beut the hockey
situation for the coming
months. "Red" figures
Exeter could have the
strongest club this year
they've ever had if we get cracking on it right away.
"Players aren't going to wait until October to see if
we're going to have a team," .Jim stated. "We've got
to' get hoppin' on it NOW! Glen Weise and "Buddy"
Dietrich gave `'Red" all intentions of their returning
last weekend when they were in town visiting, Keith
Stephens is another who is asking questions about
this winter, Understand he has two or three he wants
to bring over with him. Another prize possession is
a chap• by the name of Clayt Thompson, who once
signed with Chicago Black Hawks of the National
Hockey League for a tryout. He's a rough and tumble
blueliner and would look pretty good with. Stephens,
Andre' and Bob Gauthier are two more with the
fever. With this talent that we've mentioned float-
ing loosely around and the possibility of more that
we haven't heard from yet, this corner can't see why
we don't try and do something about it as soon as
possible. Personally, we don't like to see a figure
hike $1,900 staring us in the face every time we men-
tion hockey so we're certainly behind a drive to get
it cleaned up pronto! Exeter would be a pretty dead.
place without some ice action this winter.
Sorry to say we missed .Jack Evans of Gode-
rich in our office Saturday morning. Understand •Jack
was in to ride us about our hockey setup. 1 must
admit Jack it looks bleak, but something is bound to
break soon. By the way, if you have any overage
juniors up your way, wrap then up and send them
down will you? We'll be glad to pay the postage.
CUFF CLEANERS — Hear that Lorne Kleinstiver was
red-hot on the links a few days ago. The Dashwood
divot. digger was engaged in a round with. Morley
Sanders, John Goman and Hal Hooke and parred
four or five holes right in a row. You ask what is
the matter with that? Actually nothing, except that
it was done in darkness! That's right, the foursome
was playing in the the moonlight. Lorne thinks its
really living! We understand he's trying to line up
more games of the same nature,.. How about that!
This poor Joe had been out fishing, but didn't have
any luck. On his way home he entered a fishmon-
' ger's shop and said to the dealer: "Just stand over
there and throw me 5 of the biggest of those trout."
Fishmonger: "Throw
them? What for?" (in
amazement) Fisherman:
".I want to tell. the family
I caught them. I may be
a poor fisherman, but
I'm no liar!" Gary
Cowan made a nice try
for the Canadian Ama-
teur at Marine Drive
Golf Course, Vancouver
in going right to the fin-
als. If Gary had won, he
would have been the
youngest amateur to ever
win it at 20. years. :Des-
pite his loss, be has been
the talk'of the spectators
and competitors for his
"RED" LOADER
booming drives. In the
four match -play rounds,
Gary carded an approxi-
mate 11-underlpar score.
Nice going Gary and bet-
ter luck next time!

Hensall IQs
in 17-11 'cir
Hensall and Merlin, two clubs
in the scramble for the .Ontario
Minor Baseball Association Ban-
tam "Ii" championship, turned
their first game of a best -of -three
series .into a circus act Monday
night in Merlin as the home-
sters registered. a 17-11 decision
in a loosely played marathonon
an exceptionally rough. diamond.
Combining the two club's per-
formances, produces a total. of
28 runs, 19 hits including two
triples and a double.—and the
sublime total of an even 20 er-
rors in a six and one-half inning
hall game.
Little explanation is needed as
to why Hensall came out on' the
short end of the score when you
check the error column as the
locals were guilty on 14 plays,
Although :Hensall outhit the win-
ners 30-9, the bobbles played a
major role and put them right
behind the eight-halin the best -
of -three series. Hensall must
win at home Thursday night to
keep from being eliminated and
force a third and final, encounter
if they hope to advance. If.Hen-
sail does come out on top in
their home game slated for 5.30
Thursday night, the third game
will take place on neutral
grounds on Saturday in either
Strathroy or Watford.
Take early lead
Hensall carried a 2-0 lead en-
tering the bottom half of the
third inning but Merlin came up
with a pair in their chance at
the plate to tie the score.In the
fourth, Hensall once again took
a two rim lead but couldn't hold
it as Merlin bounced back with
another ,pair to knot the contest
at 4.4. At this stage of the game,
the contest was worth watching
but then it happened.
In the bottom of the fifth, Mer-
lin sent 10 men to the plate for
six run Of six base hits and
four glaring Hensall errors, The
sixth frame saw seven men

The law of gravity may take
some .inches off the records of
Latin American athletes when
they compete in the Pan-Ameri-
can Games in Chicago.
To most sports fans, Newton
and Einstein are out of their ele•
ment on the playing field. But
The World Book .E.ncyciopedia
explains that. the force of gr.av'
ity—which keeps third base on
the ground and prevents a high
juniper from clearing the moon—
varies over 1110 earth's surface,
it gets weaker as one travels
toward. the equator ,or farther a-
bove sea level,
This m.ea.ns that a javelin
thrown in the Panama Canal
Zone would travel three and a
half inches farther than in Madi•
son, Wisconsin. It, would travel
a'hout one font farther than at
the North Pole.
A broad juniper wouid leap 14i
inches farther in Texas than he
would in. Massachusetts. And a
shot-put thrown 50 feet in Fin-
land would ta'avel an inch far-
ther in Rome.
The upshot is that most Latin
American. athletes will be fight-
ing stronger gravity in Chicago.
All other conditions being equal,
it might be difficult to set any
records over those established
in the second Pan-American
Games held in Mexico City in
1955.
1 The capital of Mexico sits on
a high plateau. more than 7,000
feet above sea level, and not too
far from the equator. Chicago,
many degrees north of the equa•
tor, barely keeps its feet dry at.
0100 feet shove sea level, '
I The hest place for setting
records probably would be in
Lima, Peru. Nestled in equator --
tat mountains, Lima has the
world's weakest gravity.
Of course, the variations of
mother earth give no side an ad•
vantage in a particular contest,
But, theoretically, they could
foiul. up international records.
What: do the gentlefnen with
I,ape measures do about all this?
They ignore it. They figure it
will all come out right in the
end.
