T-A photo Lose by single run Tigers lose two The Dashwood Tigers suffered defeats in both starts this week in the Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league. Friday night on their home field, the Tigers were on the short end of an 8-5 score to the Zurich Mets and Sunday in Zurich, they were bombarded 15- 0 by the Clinton Colts. The only Tiger hits in Clinton were singles by Jim Hoffman and Jim Dietrich. Dave Ratz and Bob Hoffman shared the Dashwood pitching duties. John Mommersteeg and Dick Bedard combined on the Zurich mound Friday to gain the win over the Tigers,Toiling in a losing cause were Bill Schade and Jim Guenther. The Tigers were in Thorndale last night Wednesday and Friday night they will be meeting Arva on the Dashwood diamond at 8 p.m. Pee wees come close again For the second consecutive week, the Exeter pee wees lost a tournament by a single run in the last inning. This weekend participating in the Kincardine Legion invitation tourney, the Exeter youngsters dropped a 6-5 decision to Kin- cardine after winning the first two games quite handily. A week earlier in the Zone Legion play at Goderich, Exeter lost to the same Kincardine team by one run. In Saturday'S first round game, Exeter swamped Clinton 25.0, and downed Listowel 15-10 in the semi-final round. In the championship game, the two teams battled back and forth and went into the final inning tiedi 5-5. Exeter hit the scoreboard inthe first inning when Brian Mercer's single sent Steve Skinner across the plate. Kincardine erupted for three runs in the same inning but Exeter bounced back in the second with three of their own to reclaim a one run margin. In the Exeter second, Dan Bell doubled and Dave Robinson, Steve Skinner and Dave Bogart singled to produce the three run rally. Kincardine scored single runs in the third and fifth innings to move ahead 5-4. In the Exeter sixth Dan Bell walked, moved to second on a ground-out and scored as Steve Skinner singled. In the Kincardine sixth, Exeter outfielder Rob MacDonald made an almost unbelievable shoe string catch in short left field to keep the score tied. "I remember my wedding day very distinctly," said the elderly gentleman. "I carried my new bride across the threshold of our little house and said, 'Honey this is your and my little world." "And I suppose you've lived happily ever after?" quiried the young man. "Well not exactly," replied the older man. "We've been fighting for the world's championship ever since." To match this feat in the top of the seventh Dave Bogart was robbed of a home run in deep centre field by another circus catch. Dan Bell pitched the first six innings and struck out six bat- ters, including three straight in the second. Wayne Parsons tossed the last inning. Come from behind In the semi-final game against Listowel, Exeter scored seven runs in the third inning to wipe out a 5-0 deficit. Bruce Shaw and Brian Mercer tripled, Rob MacDonald doubled and Dave Robinson cracked a single to lead the first Exeter rally. A double by Wayne Par- sons powered a three run Exeter rally in the fourth. The final five Exeter scores came in the fifth, Mercer doubled and Skinner, MacDonald, Par- sons and Atthill singled. Steve Pearce and Wayne Parsons shared pitching duties for Exeter. Short game The opening game of the tourney was called at the end of three innings with Exeter in front 25-0. Dan Bell and Wayne Parsons on the Exeter mound faced only 10 batters, one more than the bare minimum. Two Clinton base runners were cut down trying to steal on good throws by catcher Dave Bogart. In the third inning when Exeter scored 15 times, Dave Bogart hit a double and triple and both came with the bases loaded. Bogart also singled in the first and homered in the second to complete the batting cycle. Harry Beaver drove Fairview Adious to a runner-up spot in the sixth. In the ninth race won by Blue Noon driven by Cecil Keating, Jack Parsons was behind Pic's Royal Image in second spot and Bob Macfarland reined the third place finisher Sunday's Smile. Larry Ross was third in the fourth race with Smoky Haze. Marg Steffler won the powder puff event with R-Ways Dale and the fast children's race was captured by Capachino drivenby Bill Geerts. The slower race for youngsters was won by Elmoore Don Felix with Mark Core in the sulky. The next racing card at the Huron club track will be Sunday, August 4 and it will be Blanket Day. Crediton Midgets get even split The Crediton and Clinton ban- tams split a weekend doubleheader in Western Ontario Athletic Association play. Each team was, able to win ;"' awattram'harne: Crediton came up with an TIAIVin in Clinton Fri- day and Tuesdays game in Crediton was won 5-1 by Clinton. The only Crediton run Tuesday came in the sixth inning as the result of consecutive singles from the bats of Dennis Presz- cator, Richard Webb and Robert Bushfield. Clinton scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back. Dennis Pfaff was the star- ting pitcher for Crediton with Larry Ryan taking over in the fourth. In the Friday contest, Crediton exploded for four runs in the fifth inning which carried them on to victory. Paul Gaiser's triple as a pinch hitter was the big blow in the Crediton fifth. In the same inning Dennis Preszcator doubled and Dennis Pfaff singled. Darrell Preszcator's triple chased Mark Cronyn and Richard Webb home with the first Crediton runs in the first inning. A double by Rick Govers was responsible for two more Crediton markers in the second. Webb tripled and scored in the third and Fraser Boyle singled and scored on Robert Bushfield's triple in the fourth. The final Crediton score came in the eighth when Dennis Presz- cator singled and came around to score on three walks. Larry Ryan and Paul Gaiser shared pitching duties for Crediton. A large crowd was in at- tendance at Sunday's monthly open race meet sponsored by the Huron County Trotting Pony Club held at the club track on Highway 83, west of Exeter. A total of 16 heats were on the racing card and the fastest half mile was turned in by R-Ways Hal driven by Frank Blais in the 12th event. A close second was Supersweet Doll driven by Bernie Jinks in only a fifth of a second slower. Members of the host club fared quite well in the day's events. Rick Parsons piloted Jimmy D across the finish line to win the eighth race and he was third with Adious Ginger Lee in the third race. Ivan Webber was second with Little Millie in the third heat and Local drivers fare well in Huron pony racing Greys win and draw in ladies softball play times in the top of the ninth to take an 8-4 lead. Facing a four run deficit the Greys battled back and were able to even the score. Joyce Hume opened the Exeter ninth with a single, Darlene Bourne walked, Lynda Bowers singled, Joyce Morgan doubled and Lea Dejong singled and the score was all tied, The game was actually a pitching duel between Lea Dejong of the Greys and Jane Rolston of Blanshard. Dejong chalked up an even dozen strikeouts while Rolston fanned nine. Blanshard rebounded with one run in the eighth and scored five After two weeks of post- ponements because of rain, the Exeter Greys resumed play in the South. Perth ladies softball league this week. Wednesday night the Greys and Blanshard played to an 8-8 draw and Thursday the Exeter girls trounced Munro by a score of 29- 6. The Greys were at home last night, Wednesday against K irk ton. The Exeter win over Munro was powered by home runs from the bats of Darlene Bourne, Joyce Morgan, Lynne Farquhar and Cathy Wells. Marie Tiernan was the Exeter pitcher, and kept the Munro girls well in check to gain the victory. The Greys counted two runs in the second inning to start the scoring in the draw with Blan- shard. Janice Brock walked to start the rally. Lynne Farquhar followed with a successful bunt and both crossed the plate as Darlene Bourne kidelivered a single. Jane Rolston's double sent Cheryl Zvonkin and Mary Bain home for Blanshard in the second and the score was all even. Lynne Farquhar temporarily broke the tie with a solo home run for the Greys in the fourth. The Exeter lead went to 4-2 in the sixth when Darlene Bourne scored from third on Marie Tieman's sacrifice fly. Complete Line of goo Now In Stock Jerry MacLean & Son AUTOMOTIVE LTD.

GOOD .SPORTS. 'By Ross .Haugh Rough stuff Remember when baseball fans would holler, "Kill the umpire" and a movie was made with that title, These days the fans are trying to do it. The latest exam- ple of this came at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland on the night of June 4. Not only were the umpires in danger but the players as well. The Cleveland incident was the most serious in recent years but is far from the only one, Almost every week one hears of a baseball player or official being struck by some object tossed by a stupid fan. The word 'stupid' is the proper one in instances like this. The brawl at Cleveland came during a 'beer night' when the beverage was available for 10 cents per cup. With more than 60,000 beers sold at the low price some of the rowdies were probably a bit crocked. Umpire Nestor Chylak who was injured in the melee called the rioters punks. Chylak said, "the fans were uncon- trolled beasts. I've never seen anything like it except in a zoo". Texas Ranger manager Bill Martin, not known to back up from any fracas commented after the smoke cleared, "I've been in the game 25 years and I have never had an ex- perience like that. That was the closest anyone has ever come to being killed in baseball." We were listening to a Detroit Tiger game from Milwaukee about a month ago when Willie Horton was showered with beer when he stood in left field. Since that time Horton has taken to wearing a batting helmet while on the defensive in the outfield and he is on the defensive in more ways than one. Incidents such as this are not new in baseball. Back in 1934 in the World Series in Detroit, Ducky Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals had to be removed from the field by order of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to restore order to the seventh game. Medwick had charged into Tiger third baseman Mary Owen in a close play and when he returned to his post in the outfield, fans hurled garbage at him. One of the most disturbing aspects of the most recent assaults has been the hostility shown by fans towards not only the opposition but their home team as well. Controversial players are no safer at their own ball park than they are on the road. The same Willie Horton was hit by an orange in Tiger Stadium earlier this year. We always felt that a ball park was a place to escape the pressures and violence of life outside. Now, it seems there is no escape at even a ball park. Baseball seems to have no monopoly on outrageous fan behaviour. Violence has spread to hockey, and auto racing, tennis and horse racing along with soccer. During the past NHL season at least three incidents oc- curred. Bernie Geoffrion, coach of the Atlanta Flames was hit on the arm by a full bottle of beer thrown at him from the first balcony of Chicago Stadium. After the second Stanley Cup playoff game in Boston, Philadelphia Flyer coach was narrowly missed by a liquor bottle and during the year in Houston, the Minnesota Fighting Saints were forced to live up to their name by battl- ing their way through a mob of spectators to the dressing room. Recently fans at the United States Grand Prix auto race at Watkins Glen, New York, distinguished themselves by pitching both private cars and private citizens into a muddy pit along the race course. Immediately following this year's Kentucky Derby, fans in the infield at Churchill Downs tossed bottles at pass- ing horses. In World Team Tennis play, Jimmy Connors of the Baltimore Banners climbed into the stands after a par- ticularly abusive fan and Francoise Durr of the Denver Racquets angrily slammed a ball into the crowd after someone shattered her concentration by shouting 'boo' dur- ing a serve. It seems regrettable that in many instances there is more action in the grandstands than on the playing field. Despite all of this, we possibly should be thankful North Americans are still a long way from the behaviour of soccer fans in other parts of the world which sometimes reaches hysterical proportions. At least we have not experienced a riot which compares to the one in Lima, Peru about 10 years ago when 293 fans were killed and about 500 injured. A fight for real Whether it gets off the ground or not is not known, but Madison Square Gardens in New York is planning a special boxing match for the night of July 31. Hopefully going for the championship of the National Hockey League would be Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers and Ron Harris of the Rangers. The idea sprang from the agile mind of John Condon, a promotions man in the Gardens boxing department. It has gone this far that Harris has agreed and Condon was trying to locate Schultz over the weekend. Our personal opinion is that this show will never materialize. Clarence Campbell and NHL directors are sure to put a kibosh on it. This is the kind of promotion hockey can get along without. Most of the hockey players seem to have little trouble getting into a fight without having a promoter or organizer. LOCAL RACE WINNER — One of the winners in Sunday's pony races of the Huron County tack, west of Exeter was Jimmy Dee being piloted acrost the finish line by Rick Parsons. t-A photo
