We watched parts of Tiger games over the weekend and one commentator said the club is surprising everyone but manager Ralph Houk. Houk maintained throughout spring training that he had pennant possibilities. Granted 14 or 15 games are far from a complete season, but it's important for any team,W get off to a good start. The Tigers are getting great efforts again from ace southpaw reliever John Hiller. This year appears to be get- ting some more assistance in the bullpen from Tom Walker. The latter came to the Tigers late last year from the Mon- treal Expos and has been successful with a good curve ball. Ron Le Flore who appears to be the fastest Tiger on the base paths going back as far as the days of Ty Cobb is also helping with the bat having three home runs to date. In Sunday's win over Boston Le Fiore went from first to third on a short single and announcer George Kell said there are probably only two or three others in the league able to do the same thing. Willie Horton has been Houk's choice so far as the Detroit designated hitter and he has come through in the clutches to cinch a couple of victories. One of the Tiger pitching mainstays this year is ex- pected to be Darren La Grow. This youngster is a firm believer of the three C's. The three words posted over La Grow's locker are con- centration. control and cool. Three pretty good ingredients on the way to a successful career. 'Twas a cold day Picked up an interesting comment while listening to the Tiger game via radio on Sunday, April 20. Can't remember whether it was Ernie Harwell or Paul Corey who was keeping listeners up to date on scores of other games. He said the Expos game in Montreal was postponed because of cold weather. His comment was, "Now, it's a chilly six degrees in Montreal." It will probably take our friends to the south a little time to realize Canadian temperatures are now being reported in Celsius. He was right. Six degrees in Fahrenheit would be a little chilly for baseball. Area baseball, too While the NHL playoffs are capturing most sport interest, plans are being quickly formulated for district ball activities. Exeter's rec director Jim McKinlay has called a meeting tonight, Thursday at the Exeter public school library for men of all ages interested in playing ball. McKinlay is attempting to form a rec fastball league. For those past the age of 30, slo-pitch is a possibility. If enough teams can't be formed for a complete local slo-pitch league, one or two teams may be entered in a similar loop in Usborne township. The Huron -Perth intermediate baseball league is also set for another season. A meeting will be held at the Exeter Legion hall Tuesday night to draw up the 1975 schedule. The same six teams will be back in action. Competing will be the Exeter Mohawks, Dashwood Tigers, Zurich Mets, Thorndale, Arva and Clinton. Management of the Exeter and Dashwood clubs have called meetings and practices for Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Any new players wishing to try out with the Exeter Ex- pos are asked to get in touch with Terry Bourne or Jim Pfaff. The contact men at Dashwood are George Tieman and Jack Schade. New junior club We had a visit this week from the chief scout from the new Windsor Spitfires junior hockey club which makes its debut in the OHA Major series next fall. He is John Ryan of London. We first met Ryan a few years ago when he was a scout for Hap Emms at Niagara Falls and at that time two Exeter junior Hawks John Hayter and Peter Kleinstiver attended a fall training camp. Ryan tells us that interest in Windsor for the new club is very high with season ticket sales already in excess of 1,- 000. The Windsor coach will be Doug Johnston currently handling the Oakville Blades who are in the thick of a playoff battle in OHA junior "B" ranks. According to Ryan the Windsor team will be a young one. He said they will be relying mainly on over age midget players.

T -A photo Bowling appetites decreasing, vocal chords strengthened Appetites of area youngsters are not "what they used to be" if the performances of more than 100 boys and girls at Monday's Exeter minor bowling banquet is any indication. The honour of winning the "biggest eater" title went to Bruce Anderson, captain of the champion junior boys and girls Spitfires. Bruce was able to down only six hot dogs. In previous years the total has been as high as a dozen. A year ago Steve Pearce and Steve Holtzmann each consumed eight hot dogs. What they lacked in appetites the youthful bowlers made up in noise as they literally raised the roof of the Exeter Legion hall. Ruth Durand who this year celebrates her 20th anniversary as head of the minor bowling program was master of ceremonies. A goodly number of mothers were on hand to take care of the kitchen chores. The kitchen staff was headed by Doreen Kirk and Peg Hunter- Duvar. Trophy presentations were varied and ranged from team awards to individual honours to the youngsters showing the most improvement during the year. Those achieving perfect at- tendance were also honoured. The minor bowlers attending each and ever session were: INDIVIDUAL TROPHY WINNERS — Trophies were presented at Monday's annual Exeter minor bowling banquet to the youngsters throwing the high single, triple and overages in each age division.

He continued, "Anyone betweenthe ages of eight and 80 can go bowling and you can bowl by yourselves without need for competition." McKinlay said he has lined up a full program of activities for the summer including two special events. They are the soap box derby and a kite flying contest.
