After dropping the opening game of the best-of-seven series to decide the 11-P "D" cham- pionship the Tigers came roaring back to take four straight, all by convincing scores. The Dashwood club ended the series by scoring a 17-2 win Wednesday night and coming back Friday with a similar 17-3 decision. Tiger southpaw Jim Guenther continues to be the star of the team both on the mound and at the plate. Guenther came on in both games as a relief pitcher to keep the Zurich club well in check. The starters in the final two ' games were Bill Schade and Bob Hoffman. The first opposition 'for the Tigers in Ontario Baseball Association was not known at press time. EXETER Dan Heywood completed the scoring. The first Crediton run in the first inning came as Paul Shapton scored on three consecutive walks. Ron Smith's double in the sixth sent the next two Crediton run- ners home and Larry Clarke singled and scored in the seventh on smilar hits delivered by Larry Clarke and. Bruce Hodge. Doug Mclsaac was the starting pitcher for Crediton. He gave way to Larry Clarke in the fifth when Chesley scored four times. Clarke allowed two hits the rest of the way and struck out six. Chesley theatened in the eighth when they loaded the bases but Crediton recorded two quick outs when an infield fly was dropped and the runner on third was thrown out at the plate. In Crediton's 7-6 win Friday, Ron Smith went the pitching distance for the winners, his first start in two years. Smith allowed only four hits and forced the Chesley batters to hit the ball on the ground. In the seven inning game 15 of the outs were made by the infielders in addition to two key strikeouts in the fourth when Chesley threatened to score. Crediton scored twice in the second inningfon singles by Perry Preszcator, Ron Smith, Paul Shapton and Tom Hayter. Singles from Matt Muller, Smith and Shapton sent the third and fourth Crediton markers home in the third frame.

The Expos ended up with only two victories in a six game round robin series against Clinton, Thorndale and Arva. In Sunday's game Clinton scored four runs in the third inning and were never headed. The Exeter club didn't reach the scoreboard. 3,tritil the sixth inning. By that time the Colts were in front 6-0. With one out in the Exeter. sixth Bill Farquhar was safe on an error, Randy Tiernan doubled as a pinch hitter and Jim Lewyckyj sent them both home with another two-bagger. In the seventh, Bill Bourne singled, moved to second on Larry Haugh's sacrifice and home on a single from the bat of Rob Dickey. The only other Exeter safeties in the entire contest off two Clinton pitchers Su tot and McDonald were singles by Sw i m champs Congratulations are in order for the Exeter swimming team which won a host of honours in Western Ontario com- petition this summer, The local swimmers handled by the staff at the local pool headed by Donna Doidge and Susan Tuckey turned in excellent performances. A fitting climax to the season came Saturday when the Exeter team won the Lake Huron Zone competitions at Listowel. In the Listowel meet, the Exeter team finished well out in front with a team total of 2991 2 points and Goderich plac- ed third with 184 points. . Other teams participating were from Kincardine, Mt. Forest, Walkerton, Port Elgin, Shelburne, Atwood, Owen Sound and Tara. While the local swim team was made up mostly of youngsters, one of the victories Saturday was aided by a couple of "veteran" performers and we use this adjective fairly loosely. When it came time for the relay for boys aged over 15, the Exeter team had only two regulars. To complete the team a couple of volunteers were talked into participating. They Were our esteemed editor Bill Batten and Bruce Shaw, now vice-principal at Seaforth District High School. We haven't had the nerve to ask what the other two teams looked like but the two young members of the Exeter team must have turned in superlative performances. Seriously the Exeter team deserves hearty con- gratulations for their season-long efforts. Their showing certainly speaks well for the quality of instruction being dished up at the loCal pool. Most of the meet wins have come over teams from towns of much larger population. Diversified events Boys in the area with the natural craving for building things have a chance to experiment thanks to Exeter's new recreation director Jim McKinlay. Jim has come up with the idea of staging a soap box derby on Labour Day. The event will be held at the hill beside the Exeter swimming pool. We should set straight our opening comment. The soap box derby is open to boys and girls up to the age of 16. So get out the hammer and nails, girls and give the boys a battle. An entry form for the derby appears elsewhere in this issue. The last time we talked to Jim he said the main re- quirements necessary were four wheels and a steering wheel. Several classifications will be on the agenda and race time is 1 p.m. on Labour Day, September t. The ice surface area at the Exeter arena is being used these weeks by enthusiastic roller skaters in the area. Jim McKinlay in an experiment has scheduled open roller skating sessions for tonight, Thursday and next Tuesday and Thursday. Rental skates will be available. A try at slow pitch Slow pitch which has been organized in Usborne township this summer and has been very popular in London for several years will get its first start in Exeter September 29. The Exeter Kinsmen club will be hosting the annual ball tournament for district Kin clubs and this year have decided to give slow pitch a try. The object of slow pitch is to take the emphasis off pitching and put it on hitting and fielding. The main difference in rules from ordinary softball is in the pitching department. The ball must be lobbed to the plate in an arc of up to 10 feet. Bunting and base stealing are not allowed. Each team while in the field is allowed to use 10 players. The extra man is usually used in the outfield. We feel the move made by the Kinsmen is an excellent one. In past years some teams have been known to bring in a "ringer" as a pitcher and the other teams made up of Kinsmen members have had little chance. With slow pitch everybody will have an equal opportuni- ty as far as pitching is concerned. More interest Thursday's challenge exhibition softball game between the Exeter Greys girls ball team and the Exeter firemen has started a chain reaction. The firemen who edged the girls 13-12 in Thursday's ex- hibition have now been challenged by the Exeter Legion. The winner of this game will meet the local Ontario Provin- cial Police detachment probably strengthened by members of the Exeter police force. Local youngster makes good One of Dashwood's finest young athletes is now a regular member of the Stratford Kraven Knits of the Senior Intercounty baseball league. John Hayter who was one of the stars of the Exeter Hawks has recently been showing his worth with the Strat- ford team. We took in the London-Stratford playoff contest Wednesday night and John lashed out solid singles in his first two trips to the plate and lined to centre field on his next two trips. Friday night, Hayter again was a top batter with a dou- ble and a triple. The seriesis currently tied at two games apiece. The first two Crediton scores came in the third when Dale Dinney doubled, Tom Hayter walked and scored on Larry Clarke's two bagger. In the eighth Clarke singled and scored as Doug Mclsaac slashed out a double. Larry Clarke was the Crediton pitcher going the full nine inning distance chalking up an even dozen strikeouts. Soccer victory for mosquitoes The Exeter mosquito soccer team reversed the current losing streak with a convincing 5-2, win over the Goderich Beavers in Exeter, Wednesday night. Playing entertaining soccer the locals took command of the game early in the first half. Midfield play was dominated by Doug Brooks the Exeter centre half, Henry Winters at inside right combined well with his wing man Jack Smits and scored four of the Exeter goals. Doug Brooks notched the fifth goal of the game with his well placed corner kick beating the Goderich goal keeper. In London district third division senior soccer play this week, the Exeter Centennials dropped a 7-1 decision to London Hellas in a game played at London's Greenway park, The Exeter lone goal was booted by Bernie Beasley, The London team scored only two goals in the second half as veteran Bill Smits turned in an outstanding performance. By SUSAN TUCKEY Saturday, the Lake Huron Zone swim championships were held at Mildmay, with 11 teams entered. The Exeter swim club swam to an over whelming vic- tory, The team has been strong all summer but nobody was com- pletely prepared for such a decisive win. At the completion of the meet Exeter had a total of 2991/2 points, 93 points ahead of second place Listowel. As well as being awarded the trophy for best team, our boys team also finished in the top position. All the swimmers are to be congratulated for their great effort. I would also like to thank the parents who have travelled many miles as loyal spectators. Saturday's victory made our whole competitive swim programme a success and we can expect only bigger and better things from all our swimmars next summer. In addition to winning, the zone championships, 37 of our 45 swimmers qualified to swim in the Western Ontario Regional swimming championships August 28 in Listowel. Exeter Swim Club hopes to make a good showing there when four Zones in Western Ontario will be well represented. On Monday, August 19, Mr. Brian Orton, area chairman for R,L.S.S,, examined our Bronze candidates. The Bronze Medallion Award is the minimum requirement for life- guards in Ontario. Paul Pooley, Perry Pooley, Terry Caldwell, Lynne Mercer, Cathy Wooden, Brenda Fletcher, Lynne Brooks, Tracy Turner, Liz Giffin, Sandra McLeod were successful. With the return of hot summer weather, attendance at the pool has increased and the third ses- sion of lessons has turned out to be a busy one. A different vocation When talking about employment in the construction trade or ditch digging in the old days one thinks about needing a strong back. There is another occupation which requires a strong back and these workers. make the vacations of many Ontario residents and visitors very enjoyable. We are talking about worm pickets. A Toronto firm headed by Bob Contoy expects to sell more than 60 million dew worms to fishermen this year. Conroy's firm has leased the picking rights on 35 Toron- to area golf courses and 350 of his pickers work from mid- April into October. These pickers are professionals and as skilled in their craft as experts in any other trade. The pickers are piece workers being paid up to $18 per thousand. Most employees pick about 30,600 worms a week. Conroy says goriditioning is most important in this back- breaking Work. Many don't-stretch or straighten up until they have picked a thousand worms. We usually have trouble after scooping up about a dozen worms in preparation for a perch fishing' expedition to Grand Bend. •'Al6igmtaboiWwit•••\'' • .•7 7117A.Lagftio.1111.- flihdil • ,AL` 4111111774IL. •
