In the annual poll conducted by the T-A, all 14 of the district basehall experts picked the Detroit Tigers to represent the American League in this fall's series. Although, the Tigers have been chosen by the majority of the local g!guessperts” for qpite few years, it is the first tome they were able to gain a cora- plete sweep. In order to make the Tigers, a unanimous choice, two of the top New York Yankee supporters for many years have switched allegiance to Detroit. Gerry Smith and Bill Musser who have favored Yankee teams in the past failed to pick the New York club for any of the top five positions, The Minnesota Twins can be expected to give the Tigers quite a battle for the pennant as they were chosen for second spot on 12 of the 14 ballots. Last year's champs, the Boston Red Sox gain- ed the other two runner-up po- sitions and finished third in the consensus poll. The other American league team in the thick of the 1967 pen- nant battle, the Chicago White Sox failed to get much support and were chosen to finish fifth behind the Baltimore Orioles. In the National circuit, the St. Lous Cardinals should repeat in 1968 according to the district fans as they gained seven first place votes. The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up three first place votes, while the San Francisco Giants were chosen twice and the Cincinatti Reds and Chicago Cubs each re- ceived one vote for top position. In the individual player selec- tions, members of the Detroit Tigers again made a good show- ing. In the pitching department, Bengal hurlers Denny McLain and Earl Wilson shared most of the voting honors. McLain was given seven first place votes while Wil- son picked up four. At the plate, Al Kaline was given six votes for the player expected to gain the 41ghpst bat, ting average, during the regular season. close behind with _four votes was Boston Redsox slug- ger Carl Yastrzemski who was. Also runner-up in the home run department to Harmon Killebrew. Oyer in the National league, Rohert9 Cleinente was giVen eight votes to take his third consecti- tive batting average champion- ship. The only opposition to the Pittsburgh hitter came from Wil- lie Mays, Hank Aaron and Curt Flood who each received two votes. In the home run division, Hank Aaron received little opposition as he picked up ten of the four- teen ballots. Local selectors making their choices for the top pitcher in the senior circuit showed their patriotism as they gave the nod to Chatham's Fergie Jenkins on nine ballots with the other five decisions going to Juan M art chal.

The CAHA has already passed a ruling, one of the clauses in its agreement with 'the National Hock- ey League, which cuts seven months of eligibility from a, teenager and makes the age limit for juniors under 20 on or before December 31. The former deadline was May 31. "The clubs in our association and our divi- sions were asked about the age limits," OHA. presi- dent Jack Devine said at the annual meeting. "As a result, we have submitted an amendment to the CAHA calling for the junior age limit to be 21 at December 31." The limit of under 21 is an expansion of the age limit and would return the age factor to what it has been on several previous occasions. At present the age of 21 is used in the Ontario Baseball Associa- tion to determine a boy's eligibility for junior ball. If the limit was changed to 21 as of Decem- ber 31 it would mean an extra year of competition for everyone who played junior this year. We would endorse this move to extend the age for junior hockey as it would improve the brand of hockey and give the boys another year of playing. As it is now, most of the overage juniors just quit playing our national game. It would also set up the possibilities of better juvenile teams. Now, a lot of youngsters move right from midget to junior ranks. JOHNNY MAY BE BACK Last week in this column we passed on some of the highlights of our conversation with Johnny Bower at the Lucan Lions club annual minor hockey banquet a few weeks ago. At that time Bower said he didn't expect to be protected by the Leafs in this summer's draft and would hang on as a sub goalie with the Toronto club or move to an expansion club if drafted. According to a story in a Toronto paper Sat- urday, Punch Imlach has other ideas as he said Bruce Gamble and Johnny Bower would be his goalies for next season. Johnny told us he 'thought Bruce Gamble should be the number one Toronto goaler next year with Al Smith as his standby. When asked last week what was the possibility that Al Smith, the Tulsa goalie might be drafted 'if Toronto didn't protect him, Imlach said, "He's not even playing for Tulsa now. The other kid, Serge. Aubrey 'has won the job." After missing the playoffs for the first time in many years, Imlach is getting into a trading mood and is looking for big and tough defencemen. Ap- parently, he would trade any of his centres except Norm Ullman and Dave Keon for one of the big Chi- cago Black Hawk rearguards, preferably Doug Jar- rett or Gilles Marotte. HOORAY FOR THE CHAMPS This may be a little late but we would like to pass along our congratulations to a couple of cham- pionship hockey teams. The Mitchell Hawks had little trouble in tam- ing Bobcaygeon for the OHA junior "D" title, taking one of the games by an astronomical score. This proves that with a lucky bounce or two the right way our Exeter Hawks could now be the reigning junior "D" champs of the province of On- tario. In the semi-final series, the Mitchell club proved to be the best opportunists and certainly are worthy champions. A year ago they lost out in the provincial finals, so this could be a good omen for the Exeter team for next year. A lot of credit should go to Bob Galloway and Scotty Regier who guided the Crediton Tigers to the Western Ontario Athletic Association Intermedi- ate grand championship. In their first year of serious play, the Credi- ton boys went through the regular WOAA season suf- fering only one loss and eliminated St. Clements and Gorrie on the way to the "D" championship. Moving up a little higher, the Tigers strength- ened their line-up with four members of the Zurich Flyers and knocked off a good Milverton team to take all the awards the WOAA has to offer. The big guns for Crediton in the finals against Milverton were the forward combination of Dennis Morrissey, Jamie Robb and Fred Lamb, who scored most of the goals. Morrissey, a graduate of last year's Exeter junior Hawks, was a standout with his deliberate stickhandling abilities while Robb, a student at Cen- tralia's agricultural course, delighted the fans with his hustle and Lamb, from the Village of Centralia and an ex-junior of several years ago, showed his best on breakaways. While the forwards were scoring the goals, a quiet fellow back at the other end of the ice was re- sponsible for a lot of the Crediton wins. Tom Glavin, who was voted the team's most valuabie player, came up with a good performance in goal every time out and on many occasions kept his team in the game with outstanding stops. The Crediton club is staging a victory dance in the Crediton Community Hall tonight, Thursday, when everyone is welcome to come along and pass on their congratulations. CORRECTION, PLEASE A couple of weeks ago in reporting the win, ning of the South Huron Rec hockey Championship by the Dashwood Bears, we said the Dashwood club were the first winners of this trophy. This is not correct as the same Crediton club Won the trophy for the first time in 1962 and this was Only the second time the trophy, donated by Bob Galloway of Crediton, was tip for grabs. A father and son 'combination played a big part in the Dashwood Wiii, especially in the south Huron final against the Exeter tank Boys. sob ,Haytet scored three goals in the ling game While his son Jahn guarded the goal at the other end, John, a premising young netminder, saw lots Of 'action this past season as he also performed With the Exeter midget and bantam clubs, Thrits Advocate, May 1.968
