Shapton tops lawn bowlers A home environment is usually an advantage for any sports team and this certainly seems to be the case with Wilfred Shapton, the very capable greenskeeper at the Exeter bowling greens.

Thursday night, Shapton was the top bowler with two wins, a plus of 15 and aggregate of 28.

The rains came with Chesley batting in the top of the fifth in- ning with the score tied at 1-1. The game was played in Dash- wood due to the wet condition of the Crediton diamond where the Combines play their home contests. In the first game of the season a week earlier, the Combines and Crediton played to a 2-2 tie.

EXETER 235.2261 first on an error and scored on a single from the bat of Perry Preszcator. Chesley tied the score in the top of the second and neither team was able to score again until the rains came. Larry Clarke was on the mound for the Combines and gave up only two hits in the ab- breviated contest while striking out five. In the first game of the season in Exeter, the Combines took an early lead with a two run rally in the top of the third inning. Four base hits produced the two runs. Larry Clarke doubled arid singles were notched by Mike Desjardine, Roger Finkbeiner and Kevin Bestard. The first Exeter run came in the fourth when John Gould singled and scored on a couple of errors The tying run came in the bottom of the seventh and final inning as Brian Taylor singled, moved up on a couple of fielder's choices and scored on John Wuerth's sacrifice fly. Bill Wilson and John Wuerth shared the pitching duties for the Exeter club while Larry Clarke and Ron Anderson tossed for the Crediton-Dashwood club.

Ready for quarter horses The eighth annual Mid-Western Quarter Horse show is scheduled for Exeter Community Park Saturday June 9 and it promises to provide plenty of exciting entertainment for the spectators, A couple of new events have been added to the show which is being sponsored by the Exeter Kinsmen club for the third consecutive year, Members of the local service club are showing their usual enthusiasm in planning an in- teresting show. A large number of trophies and ribbons have been donated by Exeter and district merchants. The awards are on show this week in the display window of H & K Sports Centre, across from the Exeter Post Office. The judge for the full day's show will be Dale Rose of Mansfield, Ohio. Rose is an experienced judge but this will be his first trip north of the border. Don Nye of Hamilton is returning as arena director while Fred Darling will handle the announcing duties. Show secretary Noel Veri reports this is the second largest quarter horse show in the province of Ontario and entries are expected from all parts of Ontario as well as many points in the United States. The local show has been classed as an "A" event for many years with 225 entries or more, The new events on the program this year include barrel racing and pole bending. The emphasis is put on the young entrants with numerous youth activity classes. The show will get underway at 8,30 in the morning with the afternoon session scheduled for one o'clock featuring the more exciting events as far as spectators are concerned with barrel races, pole bending, reining, western pleasure and trail classes. The Ontario Quarter Horse Association has one of the largest following of youth activity classes in Canada and the Association which sanctions all shows of this kind insists on various events restricted to youngsters. As of 1972, there were more than 11,000 registered quarter horses in Ontario, the second highest in the Domi- nion of Canada. The quarter horse had its beginning as a race horse. In the 360 years since its origin, he has retained his ability to beat horses of any other breed from a standing start up to 440 yards, or a quarter of a mile, taus establishing its name. Good performance If the opening game performance of the Exeter Expos is any indication of what's to come, the local intermediate ball club should be providing some interesting entertainment for area fans. In Dashwood Friday night, the Expos downed the Dashwood Tigers 4-1 with young southpaw Larry Gibson recording a grand total of 16 strike-outs in the seven inning contest. The Dashwood club in the midst of a rebuilding program used a lot of youngsters in Friday's first game and will definitely improve as the season moves along. Tiger mentor Glenn Webb is taking a good look at a group of Crediton youngsters. Graduates of the Crediton minor ball program started about five years ago are begin- ning to show their talents. In addition to Larry Gibson, who made the pitching start for the Exeter Expos in the first Huron-Perth contest of the season, Rick Bowers, Pete Wuerth and Bill Hodge were in the Dashwood line-up. Sunday afternoon in an abbreviated game, the Exeter Expo pitching again looked very sharp. In the first three in- nings against Walkerton Sunday afternoon, Jim Pfaff fann- ed eight opposing batters. These early season performances seem to indicate the pitchers are well ahead of the batters. This is probably due to the wet weather which allowed most teams to have only one practice before the season started. Help urgently needed Participation in the Exeter Minor Baseball Association is greater than ever this year and manpower in a couple of categories is badly needed. Four local teams are entered in the Western Ontario Athletic Association in the pee wee, bantam, midget and juvenile divisions. Exeter minor ball convenor Bill Dougherty reports he needs volunteers for umpiring for the home games of the local teams. We shouldn't actually say volunteer as Bill says his group will be able to pay a fair fee for umpires handling the games. An umpiring clinic held at the Exeter arena Sunday night drew about 15 prospective umpires but only three were from town. If anyone wishes to work as an umpire give Bill Dougherty a call at 235-0248. He will be happy to hear from you. The other call for help comes from pee wee baseball coach Rob Grant. He has had about 50 players out for prac- tice for the pee wee club and can only use 15 to 20 of the youngsters at the very most. If coaching help can be obtained several teams could be organized to play as a house league. The boys want to play ball,all they need is someone to supervise. Again, volunteers can get in touch with either Rob Grant or Bill Dougherty.
