The popular spot which caters to seven different leagues is jumping every night of the week with all six alleys in use. Every Monday and Wednesday night the men bowl while the ladies take over the lanes on Tues- day and Thursday evening. The Friday Niters show their talent on Friday night and the ladies' and men's Intertown squads compete on Saturday afternoons while a mixed league is in operation on Friday and Sunday nights. The alleys don't get a chance to cool down even in the daylight hours as the well' organ- ized minor bowling leagues are going after fours. Not counting the bowlers who do not bowl in league play but only try their luck during open bowling on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons over 500 keglers of various ages enjoy the popular winter sport. Regular league bowling got underway this week with all 'teams displaying happiness to get back into action after the long summer layoff and from now until spring the local lanes will be the scene of many a tense battle. 'GUESSPERTS' COULD BE WRONG! If the San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins continue to play ball like they have in the past month, district baseball fans who made predic- tions this spring will not have much to brag about. Not one of the 14 guessperts' picked the Twins to win ,the American League pennant while only two, Aub Farquhar and liar Holtzman, selected the Giants to prevail in the National League. The Twins are now virtually a shoo-in in 'the AL as they hold a nine-game lead over second place Chicago with only 16 games remaining in the schedule but the Giants have 20 games left to play and only have a two- game bulge over the Los Angeles Dodgers who are currently holding down second place only one-half a game ahead of the Cincinnati Reds. For the last two months the National League pennant race has been a real scramble where the leader would change every two days but it now seems to be widening out a bit with the Giants now leading the pack by two full games. Willie Mays, who is the Giants undisputed leader and prime can- didate for the Hall of Fame, has been the big driv- ing force in San Francisco's surge while Willie Mc- Covey, Jim Hart and young Hal Lanier have also contributed. Mays hit his 46th homer of the season and 499th of his career on Sunday to lead the Giants to victory in the second half of a doubleheader with the Chicago Cubs. Veteran lefthander Warren Spahn went the distance on the mound for the Giants by scattering seven Cub safeties. Spahn, who the Mets figured was washed up could still be a determining factor in the pennant race because of his experience and competitiveness. RUSTLINGS — National Hockey League fol- lowers in the area will be happy to hear that the CBC will be broadcasting away games of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday evenings this winter. The games will be broadcast in full from various U.S. rinks with Foster Hewitt, the dean of Canadian sportscasters, doing the play-by- play. Ontario stations will always carry the Leafs' games with the first game being Toronto and De- troit on October 24. The traditional Hockey Night in Canada series will continue on the CBC television network . . . While still on the hockey beat we hear by the grapevine that a few local junior players have received invitations to try out with Junior 'A' and 'B' teams in the province. Larry Willert, who played on defence for the Junior Hawks last year, left Wed, nesday to try out with the St. Catharines squad while Mike Cushman, Craig Chapman and Willert have re- ceived offers from the Sarnia Legionnaires of the Western Junior 'B' League . . . Arena Manager Alvin Willert reports that the ice will be going into the arena November 1 . . Because of the inclement weather of the last couple of weeks, the Recreation softball league season is still in the semi-finals with the Legion still awaiting an opponent. Weather per- mitting, Crediton and the Airmen will have com- pleted their series by now with the finals due to get started as soon as possible.

Winning pitcher Lennox, who was the third different pitcher to be used by Ivy in the series, gave the losers only four hits in the Husky righthander Gord Slaght pitched and batted Crediton into the finals of the Exeter Mens Rec Softball League on Monday night as he blanked the Cen- tralia Airmen 1-0 on one hit. Slaght struck out nine batters in the seven inning masterpiece and also triple to drive in the winning run in the fifth frame. Crediton who took the best of three series two games to one will now meet the Exeter Le- gion for the Rec League champ- ionship. The first game of the best of three set was played at the airport last night (Wednes- day). Losing pitcher Leo Romain also hurled a fine game as he allowed the winners two hits and fanned 12 but allowed the winning run in the fifth inning whenslaght tripled in Bob Hodgins who had reached first on a base on balls. Hodgins led off the fifth with a walk but Romain steadied to re- tire Al Flynn and Jim Finkbein- er on strikes before Slaght stro- ked the key blow into leftfield. Mel Finkbeiner's fourth inn- ing single was the only other Crediton safety off Remain who walked three batters. The only Airmen hit came off the bat of John Wludka who sing- led in the second inning. Slaght walked three and lilt one batter in the well umpired contest and was in serious trouble only once when Neil Hatch walked with no- Saddle Club treats children The Exeter Saddle Club held a Children's Day Picnic on Sunday, Sept 12 at the Rodeo Grounds.

Lennox didn't issue a free pass in the game while losing pitcher Jim Pfaff gave up eight hits and struck out 10 while going the dis- tance. The winners plated two runs in the fourth inning as Arnold singled and Wilson reached first on an infield error. Kell follow- body out in the sixth inning. The Airmen shortstop got to second on fielders choice and reached third on an error but he was nipped at home when Romain grounded to second sacker Dick Coulter to end the threat. An inning ending double play also aided the Crediton cause as each team committed one error in the well played contest.
