The trio of King hurlers .combined to ring up six strike-outs. Shut out Stclffq The last regular scheduled game embracing the three lo- cal teams in the Huron-Perth baseball loop produced some of the best ball action of the year, Zurich Lumberkings, with playing coach Don O'Brien tos- sing a neat three-hitter, shutout Staffa. Merchants 4-0 to move into sole possession of first place. O'Brien was stingy in the clutches, facing only 25 batters in the seven-inning contest and allowing only one Merchant to get as far as third base. Laverne "Porky" Wallace,' throwing from the Staffa hill, was equally niggardly with base hits but ran into a little wild- ness in the late innings and was replaced by veteran Bob Sadler. Zurich broke into the scoring column in the fifth when Bruce Moir drew a base on balls, moved to second on a hit bats- man and scored on an infield error. The Kings scored three times in the sixth as Doug O'Brien and Earl Wagner singled be- tween a pair of hit batters, the latter's second hit of the game. Wallace struck out sixbefore being lifted. O'Brien exhibited fine con- trol, not issuing a single pass and whiffing three, George Coveney's first inn- ing single, another in the third from Bob McKellar and Bill MeNauglit's fifth frame two- bagger were the only safeties allowed by the Zurich manager. Don O'Brien also tagged a third stanza double to complete the Kings' hit total. Kings nip Durham Zurich Lumber Kings squea- ked out a 7-6 decision over Durham Huskies in a Huron- Perth interlocking contest at the Zurich Park Saturday. Larry Bedard's single sent playing manager Don O'Brien scurrying across the plate with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. O'Brien had singled to start the rally after two were out and then stole second to be in position to plate the winner. The visitors broke in front early, scoring twice in their first time at bat. Zurich came right back to tally four times in the bottom of the same frame to take a 4-2 lead. Larry Bedard's double ; his first of three hits during the contest started the rally. Don Genttner reached first on an error, 13111 Shaddick singled and both runners came home on Doug O'Brien's double. O'Brien stole third and scored on an infield out. The Kings tallied another pair in the fourth, their last scoring burst until the tie-breaker in the ninth. Starting pitcher Dick Bedard opened the rally with a single, Larry Bedard hit another and Bill Shaddick was hit by a pit- ched ball for the second time to fill the bases. Doug O'Brien again proved his worth from the clean-up position by banging out a clean single to score the Bedard boys and bring his run batted in total to four. rick, Jeff Carroll, Peter Glo- ver and Cathy Simmons.

All the hits and runs produced by the Greys came in the third and fourth innings. Singles by Gail Farquhar and Ann Cronyn, ahead of Dolly Mattson's triple, opened the scoring in the third. Mattson came home on an infield out, Six base hits in the fourth gave the local gals five runs and a comfortable 8-0 margin.

Brucefield hit the scoring column with three markers in the next frame. Singles by Bev Wright and Hargreaves along with Kay Sharp's double and an infield error accounted for the visi- tor's opening scores. A pair of walks and singles by Wright and Betty Graham in the top of the seventh wound up the Brucefield scoring for the night. Helen Ebel went the distance on the Exeter mound, limiting the visitors to six hits and striking out seven in as many innings. Betty Graham, toeing the opposition slab, was in con- trol except for the run-produc- ing splurges in the third and fourth.

Representatives of Exeter's summer playground turned in a fine showing at the annual Lake Huron Zone Recreation track and field meet held at Walkerton, Thursday. As a team, the local young- sters finished in second position with a total of 148 points, only 13 back of the winning squad from Kincardine. Craig Davidson was the star not only for the Exeter aggre- gation but of the entire meet taking the boys' senior crown with ease. The 15 year-old SHDHS track star wound up with a perfect score of 20 points as he cap- tured a first in each of the four events entered. Each competi- tor was limited to four entries. Craig bested all opposition in the 100-yard dash, 440-yard dash, high jump and the hop, step and jump. This was Exeter' s best show- ing in the regional meet which also attracted entries from Lis- towel, St, Marys, Owen Sound, Harriston, Port Elgin and the host town of Walkerton.

Baseball play-off time has rolled around again on the local scene with most teams. getting. ready to put forth their best efforts in an at. tempt to bring home some championships,. The Huron-Perth baseballers, baying a bit of trouble getting going early in the season, have cut .their schedule short in an attempt to com- plete the league playoffs. A year ago Zurich Lumber Kings and Ex- eter Mohawks had played two games of the loop finals when the OBA called the teams into the provincial playdowns. By the time the teams had been eliminat- ed, cool and wet weather had set in and the series was not completed. Normally, the OBA call doesn't come until the end of August, so with reasonable co- operation from the weatherman an H-P champ should be declared this year.. A round-robin home-and-home series em- bracing the three teams gets underway this week and a best-of-three final will bring together the top two teams .after the preliminary set. League secretary John Livermore of Clin- ton has been informed of the play-off classifica- tions for the three area intermediate squads, Exeter will be playing in the "B" division, Staffa Merchants will compete in "C" and Zurich will represent the Huron-Perth in the "D" section. Up to Thursday evening, when the play- off schedule meeting was held, Zurich Lumber Kings were leading the loop with 18 points, Staffa was close behind with 16 and the local Mohawks trailed with 10 points. In Huron Ladies softball play, the Exeter Greys are moving into a round-robin series for the southern crown against Brucefield and RCAF Clinton. The top two clubs will also meet in a group final, this time a best-of-five with the win- ner going on to meet the northern champ. The over-all league winner will then go on as the Huron representative in the WOAA play-offs. The Rec softball league, sometimes refer- red to as the "liniment" loop, winds up its regular .schedule next week. This popular loop was extended this season to six teams with the addition of the Kippen Mavericks and a group of airmen from RCAF Centralia. The playdowns should be quite exciting with a lot of good softball since most of the clubs have bolstered their mound staffs. Al Wiper and Don Mousseau have joined the Exeter Legion to give Coach Doug Brintnell's crew new pitching power. The Kinsmen now have the regular services of Don "Dinger" Bell and will certainly be tough in the play-offs, George Wright has been tossing very effectively for the Bowling Lanes and Gord Slaght and Ken Jackson are chucking competently for Crediton. At the moment only four points separate the first five in the six-team loop and anything could happen from here on in, In minor baseball activity, two Exeter clubs have been eliminated in WOAA play and another has a couple of games left in the schedule. The midgets were knocked off the play- off trail by Clinton in straight games while the bantams lost to Goderich in two games, the final being a close 3-2 decision on Saturday. The younger boys participating in the pee wee division will complete their schedule this week and then head into the playdowns. In WOAA "D" play, Dashwood and Hen- sall are meeting in both bantam and midget sections. The Centralia-Crediton Combines have re- ceived word that their first opposition in Juve- nile "C" play will be supplied by Durham. The first contest goes this Saturday in the northern town. A late flash has just been received from Rec Director Don Gravett that the Exeter Tykes or Squirts will be meeting Walkerton in the WOAA final, PLAYGROUND COMING TO CLOSE With summer quickly coming to a close, another successful playground program for young- sters of Exeter and district is ,also winding up. The play portion concludes this Friday with a cowboys and Indians parade. The march will stem from Victoria Park and head to the Community Park where a penny carnival will be, featured. The swimming part of the program at Riverview Park will continue until the end of the month. Rec Director Don Gravett is pleased with the results of the ten weeks' swim sessions under the capable direction of John Nagel and Marion Walker. Tests were conducted at the swimming area Monday and 27 of 30 youthful candidates were successful, One of the highlights of the playground program that was operated jointly by the Exeter Bee Council and the Kinsmen Club was the week-long camp conducted north of Goderich, If the enthusiasm displayed by most of the 103 campers that attended the second of what is hoped to be all annual affair is any dication, next year's outing will be bigger and better than -ever. "800in's" ain .0amp, originated by the nee Director, is a well-rounded week of camping, sports and. crafts activities. Already .some of 'the kids have been asking about going next year. -Some of the sidelights of the week were the tests of skill pitting the campers and the staff .in what might be. termed challenge events. We have not heard the campers' versions but members of the staff have hinted they were on the winning end of most of the games,.

As in past years, the climax to the six-week program will be highlighted by a ''Cowboy and Indian" parade with a gigantic penny carnival at the Exeter Arena. Weather permitting, the par- ade will leave Victoria Park at 6:30 pm and proceed to the Exeter Arena where the penny carnival will take place. The six Kinsmen Playground Supervisors have put forth some extra effort to make this car- nival bigger than ever, so I would suggest that both parents and children alike attend the event for an evening of inex- pensive and enjoyable enter- tainment. This has been brie Of those years when the weatherman has played many frieks on oar pro- gram plans. This has happened particularly on our special event days. We trust that the weatherman will co-operate with this a'riday'S parade as it Will be the last of the season for the youngsters. By the way, if it does rain, the penny carnival will go on as scheduled in the Exeter arena, starting at 7:15 PM.
