But a little tickling by supervisor Bonnie Turvey, left, and the queen, Ruth Ann Kerr, produced this reluctant smile from the little fellow. The two children were chosen for their regular attendance, participation and co-operation, and were featured in the Friday night parade which Preceded the penny carnival. --T-A photo Greys slip, face ouster of Bob MoKellar's long liner to lead off the sixth. Wright, with a single in the third to add to his game-winning smash, was the only Mohawk to notch more than one hit, Bob McKellar was the only Staffa representative with an equal hit record. Other visitor bingles were garnered by Rohfritsch and George COveney. KINGS BLANK STAFFA Zurich Lumber Kings regis- tered their first win in Huron,- Perth round robin play on the Staffa home field Friday, down- ing the Merchants 6-0ina game that was shortened to five inn- ings because of darkness. Originally scheduled for Zu- rich, the game was transferred to Staffa because of the wet condition of the Kings' diamond. Kings scored three times in their first trip to the plate and added one in the second and two in the third. Taking advantage of four ba- ses on halls and BillShaddick's single, Don O'Brien's crewtoolc on the lead in the first frame. Dick Bedard scored run number four for Zurich in the second when he drew another walk and came around on infield outs. The final runs came when playing coach and winning pit- cher Don O'Brien singled home Earl Wagner and Jack Chip- chase. Bob McKellar led the Staffa hitters collecting a double and single in three tries. Other singles were contributed by Joe Lepnicky and Charlie Westman. SCORE EARLY Steve Kyle and Jim Pfaff combined to toss a two-hitter at the Lumber Kings Wednesday on the Exeter diamond to allow the Mohawks a 7-1 victory. Kyle, while allowing only one run and one hit in the three innings he hurled, also supplied the big punch at the plate. Batting in the number five spot hitter over the seven inning route, striking out six and walk- ing but three. Her opposition hurler, Betty Graham, allowed only one more safety, five, fanned the same number and issued one free ticket. Dolly Mattson's double along with an infield error gave the Exeter girls a one run margin in the first inning. Another fielding lapse, a walk and sin- gles from the bats of Ann Jor- genson and Helen Ebel produced two tallies in the fourth to complete the Grey scoring. Brucefield got right back into contention in the bottom half of the same frame, notching three runs to tie things up. A pair of walks to the first two batters, followed by consecutive doubles by Kay Sharp and Bey Wright brought the teams on even terms. This was one of the best played games of the season, only two errors being commit- ted, both by the home . club. The time of the game was a little over one hour and each team left only four runners stranded. a double and a three-bagger. Jean Taylor contributed a pair of doubles and a triple and lead-off hitter Darlene Snell cracked a trio of singles. Clean-up swatter Audrey Pooley slashed two doubles while Ann Jorgenson and Helen Ebel connected for one-base safeties. The home team scored four times in the first, thanks to three Exeter miscues and ma- naged to stay in front until the sixth when the Greys tallied five times to take a 13-9 edge, McGuire's triple in the sixth seas the big blow as the RCAF club crossed the plate ve times to squeak out the victory. The Exeter squad threatened in the seventh with a couple of base runners but failed to get the equalizer. Helen Ebel and Rose Carey on the Exeter mound allowed only six hits but shoddy field- ing by their mates kept them in constant trouble. BATTLE TO DRAW Both pitchers were in com- plete control as the Exeter and Brucefield ladies battled to a 3-3 draw in Brucefield Friday in Huron Ladies round robin play. Rose Carey, on the mound for the Greys, tossed a four- The round robin series in Huron Ladies softball play is turning into a ding-dong bat- tle. With only one game left in the home and home sets, Bruce- field have clinched a spot in the final, while defending champs, the Exeter Greys, must get at least a tie in their final game. The deciding contest was played on the Exeter field last night, Wednesday, with Clinton RCAF supplying the opposition. The Greys fell into this cru- cial position by losing aloosely- played contest to the Clinton ladies Monday, 14-13, after be- ing held to a 3-3 stalemate in Brucefield Friday. The Brucefield ladies have two wins and a tie, the Greys claim a win and a tie in three starts and the RCAF gals have one win, leaving the outcome in doubt until the final out is made. ERRORS FATAL Errors, eleven in all, caused the downfall of the Exeter Greys in Clinton Monday when the RCAF girls downed last year's champs 14-13. The first four hitters in the local batting order accounted for 12 of the 14 Grey safeties. Dolly Mattson, in the number two spot, drove out two singles, The hockey season, at least on the local scene, is still months away but puck men across the province are at 'the moment partaking of ex- pert advice and instruction that may have an im- portant bearing on Canada's hockey future. The first hockey leadership training insti- tute sponsored by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association with funds provided by the federal government is being held this week in Kingston. Seventy coaches and sports directors from all parts of Ontario have been selected to partici- pate in this venture in a government sponsored sports clinic. Exeter's Rec Director Don' "Boom" Gravett is one of the fortunate few who were practically hand picked to attend the ten-day session at the Royal Military College in Kingston. So was Pat Crudge of Lucan. Each of the coaches attending the seminar had their application approved by either the On- tario Hockey Association, the provincial second- ary school branch, the provincial department of education, a recognized University or one of the branches of the armed forces. Professor W. J. "Bill" L'Heureux of the physical education staff of the University of West- ern Ontario heads up the group of exnerts L'Heureux is the author of several books and films on the fine points of the ice game and is using professional and Junior A players in his demonstrations during the daily ice work-outs. Three classroom lectures are also scheduled daily. An interesting part of the program is that the coaches themselves are taking part in a major portion of the actual ice drills. A capable hockey mentor is behind them cracking the whip. He is Hap Emms, currently boss man of the Niagara Falls Flyers of the Jun- ior OHA and long a driving force in Ontario's junior hockey circles. The thinking back of the actual practices for the coaches is that if they work hard enough themselves learning the various drills they will never forget them. While coaching techniques will get the most attention, 'the instructors are apparently go- ing to attempt to teach officiating and interpreta- tion of rules. We think 'this is a step in the right direc- tion but would doubt if the coaches and instruc- tors are qualified to teach the art of officiating. The rules are 'in the book and we feel that if the coaches would instruct their charges that observ- ing the regulations to the letter is a must, condi- tions would 'certainly improve. By cutting out 'the many acts of rowdyism that 'take place on the frozen ponds throughout the country, hockey could again be termed a game of skill. Most hockey fans would be happy Ito see a return to speedy skating and effective stickhandling. With the return of cleaner play lighter equipment could be restored, thus speeding up the tempo of the game. This Kingston venture marks the first time that the amateurs have been given so much attention and it is hoped this will be the start of many successful undertakings. We hope the coaches will take all the in- formation to their home towns and implement this into the local hockey program. This could be the incentive needed to bring Canada's hockey squads back to the fore in international competi- tions. Exeter Mohawks, after amen Opera regular season, bave moved to the front in the Heron- Perth round robin play,eaffe. At the half-way mark in the preliminary playdowns, the Tribe are on top with two st- raiglit wins, Monday evening, the tribe maintained their win streak by downing Staffa Merchants 4-2 after upsetting the Zurich 'an. berkinga 7-1 last Wednesday, In the other game of the week the Zurich squad shut outStaffa 6-0. The three clubs Will play each other once again with the first and second placefinishers' meeting in a best of three series for the loop title. EDGE STAFFA 4-2 A fourth-inning rally that produced all fopr runs gave the Mohawks a 4-2 win over Staffa on the Exeter diamond Monday. George Wright's long double to deep centre with the bases loaded was the damaging blow against Staffa hurler Gerry Bell. Jim Carey opened the rally with a single through the box, moved to third on a similar safety by Simon Nagel and came home on another from the bat of third baseman John Wade. Nagel crossed the plate with the tying run, beating the throw as Gord Strang reached first safely on a fielder's choice. Wade and Strang both raced home on Wright's long drive. The merchants had taken a lead in the second when Charlie Westman, after drawing a free ticket to first, scored on suc- cessive bingles by Al Clemo and Bob McKellar. Staffa catcher, Porky Wallace tallied his club's second run of the game in the third, Wal- lace reached first on a fielder's choice when team-mate Line Rohfritsch was forced at second and came around to score on a couple of infielding miscues. Steve Kyle went the six inning distance on the mound for the winners although allowing only four base hits, he was in trou- ble several times because of control problems but was tough in the clutches, leaving 11 base- runners stranded, Gerry Bell, on the opposition rubber, was also introuble fre- quently because of wildness, but outside of the fatal fourth was able to handle the situation. Good running catches in the Exeter outfield by Jim Russell and Simon Nagel helped keep the Merchants in check, The latter's was a one-handed grab First year bantams win two-county title The losers came back with two in their half of the ninth but winning pitcher Hansey De- Jong was equal to the situation and able to retire the side to give his team the championship in their first attempt at organiz- ed ball. Paul Snyder, Martin Jewer and Bud Desjardine connected for home runs for the Bend crew coached by Lawrence Mason and Joe Green.

DELUXE SEDAN excellent condition 1958 Chevrolet SUCCESSFUL SWIM PROGRAM Last week we mentioned that the play- ground summer programs were closing shortly. The swimming classes go on for another week and we would like to thank publicly the swimming instructors for a job well done. John Nagel and Marion Walker have been tutoring the Exeter and district youngsters at Riverview Park and Mrs. Joyce Cassis has been handling the same mission at RCAF Centralia. The high standard set by the kids at the Red Cross tests held last week say more than words of an excellent instruction program. Of the nearly 60 junior, intermediate and senior competitors from the two swim programs, only four failed to qualify for their badges. A few days before more than 30 Exeter beginners went through their paces for the first 'time with only one failure. All participants in the Exeter swim pro- gram are reminded that their annual awards night will be held at Riverview Park, Monday evening, August 26, when diplomas, pins and crests will be presented to the youngsters, Hensall wins group, ousts Dashvvood club Grand Bend bantams, with a come-from-behind rally in the eighth inning of a sudden-death play-off contest, downed West Williams 18-15 to win the Lamb- ton-Middlesex softball champ- ionship at Parkhill Friday. After a dismal showing in the first few games of the schedule the Bend kids improved as they went along and reached the loop finals by downing Arkona in a similar three-game series that went the limit. In the final free-scoring af- fair, the Grand Bend youngsters scored in every inning but two to take an early lead and they stayed in front until West Wil- liams rallied in their half of the seventh with four big runs to tie the count at 13-13, Five important markers came across in the eighth, with Bud Desjardine plating what proved to be the winner. Bill Taylor and Charles Dal- rymple scored two runs each for the winners in the one big inning. Keith Hay was the power for Hensall, slamming a homer and a triple. Jim Hayter, Jim Guenther and Bill Hoffman connected for two hits apiece for the losing Dashwood club.

BIG FIRST INNING In Tuesday's wrap-up con- test, each team started off as if it was going to make a run- away of the game. Dashwood sent five runners scurrying across the plate and the home team came right back to score six times and take the lead. Doubles by Bob webb and Bill Hoffman were the big blows in the early Dashwood uprising. Consecutive singles from the bats of Grant Walker, Bill Chip- chase, Keith Hay and Mervyn Bell powered the Hensall scor- ing spurt, The Hensel' youngsters kept pecking away at the scoreboard, notching at least one run in every time at hat.
