To showcase Seelster yearlings
The annual open house at Seelster Farms, south of
Lucan on Highway 4 will be held this Sunday.
On display will be a total of 30 colts and fillies which
will be sold at the Canadian Standardbred Classic Sale
scheduled for September 22. Most are eligible for a large
number of stake engagements.
A catalogue which appeared as a supplement in the
August 14 edition of the Canadian Sportsman said the
newest crop of Seelster yearlings is the most prestigious
group to date by outstanding Canadian and United
States sires including Armbro Splurge, Dream Maker,
Jonquil Hanover, French -Chef, Royce, Senor Skipper,
Tarport Count and Worthy Bowll.
Ready for Jets practice
The Pooley twins Paul and Perry are all set for the
upcoming training camp of the National Hockey League
Winnipeg Jets as the result of a very rigorous exercis-
ing program during the summer months.
An article in the latest issue of the Hockey News
on prospects for the Winnipeg club indicates the
Pooley's are candidates for the fourth line.
On the subject of the Pooley's Maida Baynham of
the local Heart and Stroke Foundation dropped in to tell
us about a contribution of $500 her group had received
as the result of Paul Pooley's recognition as the Hockey
News College Player of the Year.
Each year, the Hockey News in naming the best col-
legiate player also offers $500 to be forwarded to the
organization of the player's choice.
Dome could be crowded -
The recent decision by the United States Football
League to revert to a fall schedule could prove to be a
boom or a disaster for owners of the Silverdome in the
Detroit suburb of Pontiac.
While the Detroit Lions and the Panthers each have
contractual rights to play at the Silverdome there could
be a lot of problems in getting proper home schedules
for both clubs without interfering with each other.
Silverdome director Clayton Jones admits the
USFL decision could be a blessing or a nightmare.
Although Detroit is a large city we would imagine
two top notch professional football teams would come
close to overexposing the sport. Throw in the Detroit
Pistons who also play their home basketball games at
the Silverdome and you have a lot of attractions.
Not many cities are able to support two major
league teams in one sport. New York is about the only
one now with two teams in baseball, football and
hockey. Actually the NHL New Jersey Devils playing
out of the Meadowlands gives the Big Apple literally
three teams in hockey.
There has been some talk of the Panthers moving
their home games to Tiger Stadium. but, that idea has
been tossed around before and rejected. At one time the
Lions did play home contests at the home park of the
Tigers.
While talking about the Detroit Pistons, their of-
ficials have a couple of real problems as they try to keep
two of their top rated players without parting with
the mint.
Vinnie Johnson has already signed an offer sheet
with the New York Knicks for a million and a half
dollars over three years. The Pistons now have 15 days
to match the New York offer, work out a trade with
them or lose Johnson without any compensation.
The other standout for the Pistons Kelly Tripuka
has been talking to four teams including the Cleveland
Cavaliers and his agent Bob Woolf says one offer is for
6.3 million over seven years.
It's doubtful that the Pistons will go for near million
dollars a year contracts for either Johnson or Tripucka
as they have already negotiated new contracts with
Isaih Thomas and Bill Laimbeer for considerably less
than that.
Jays should be second
Although most 'Toronto Blue Jays fans, even the
most devoted have given up pennant hopes, Bobby Cox's
team should he a good bet to finish second in the
American league eastern division and get a share of the
playoff loot for the first time.
Each of the first three teams in each division gets
a portion of the playoff pie. The returns for a division
champion that fails to win the league championship is
about $200)0 per player. it drops off considerably to
about $3,(10 for second place finishes an $1,0(0 for third
spot.
/1 two league winner
Rick Sutcliffe who was traded earlier this season
by the Cleveland Indians to the Chicago Cubs could be
the first pitcher in close to 40 years to win a total of 20
games in two leagues
The last time that feat was accomplished was back
in 1945 when flank Borowy went from the Yankees to
the Cubs. The situations are similar. That was the last
year the Cubs were able to win a pennant. They have
an excellent chance this year with a current five game
lead over the second place New York Mets.
A Cub pennant would he great for the fans at
Wrigley Field, but would cause plenty of problems for
the leagues and television networks.
in the last couple of years, both leagues have gone
exclusively to night games particularly during the week
for playoff and World Series games. Wrigley Field is
the only park in major league baseball without lights
for night baseball.
As far as we are concerned. watching baseball in
the daylight is much better than at night. We saw the
three games of the' 1968 World Series in Detroit and all
were played in the afternoon.
Apparently the television networks have an agree-
ment with the two leagues whereby rehates(of goodly siz-
ed amounts of money will be paid for games shown on
the tube during less than prime time which some after-
noon contest could be.

Squirts hold GB
to 1-1 deadlock
The squirt soccer division
entered its last week of the
regular season this week with
Exeter I playing its final
league game against Grand
Bend.
Earlier this season the
Grand Bend squad beat Ex-
eter 5-1 but the Exeter team,
coached by Tony Martens
showed how much it has im-
proved over the season by
holding Grand Bend to a 1-1
draw.
Grand Bend took a 1-0 lead
in the first half but, aided by
the wind, Exeter I stormed
back in the second half and
after numerous good scoring
opportunities, it was Darryl
Hartman who tied the score
for Exeter and Grand Bend
was happy to go home with a
tie.
In other squirt action, Ex-
eter II and Exeter III met for
the second time and again it
was Exeter II that came
away the winner by a 2-0
score, but not without ex-
cellent opposition by the Ex-
eter III team with Trevor
Taylor and Darrin Kints put-
ting in excellent
performances.
Exeter II finished the
season in a tie for first place
only losing one game all
season. Scoring for Exeter II
were Shawn McCann and
Jamie Vandam.
In Atom play the season is
coming to an end too with one
more week left in league play.
Exeter I travelled to Nairn
for a game against Nairn I. In
the first half the Exeter team
had trouble adjusting to the
small field and just could not
find the range. Exeter I took
a 1-0 halftime lead on a penal-
ty shot by Jason Coolman.
In the second half things
worked a lot better for the Ex-
eter team and they managed
to score five goals on their
way to a 6-0 victory.
Other scorers for Exeter I
Jason Coolman, Jason
Heywood, Ryan Stuart and
David Morlock.
Exeter II travelled to
Bryanston for a game, and
saw their four game winning
streak come to an end against
one of the league's top teams.
The Exeter team pressed as
much as possible but the
Bryanston team was a little
better in finishing their
chances. Bryanston won the
game by a 3-1 score. Scoring
for Exeter was Jeremy
Brock. with identical scores of 27.
Exeter III played at home Following in order were
Wilfrid
against Nairn II and had a , Stan Roth
field day taking the play to and Isabeell Rogerson.
Nairn from the outset and
outscoring the Nairn team by
a 9-0 score. Scoring for Exeter
I11 were Nicky Szabo, four,
Richard Phillips, three, and
Paul Charette, two.
In their final game of the
season, Exeter II will face
Exeter III Monday.
In mosquito play, Exeter II
played Arva and took revenge
for an earlier 4-1 loss,
defeating the Arva team by a
3-2 score. Exeter played an
excellent game creating lots
of scoring chances but had
trouble converting most of
them.
Scoring for Exeter 11 were
Shawn McFalls, two and
David Boersma.
Exeter 111 played hapless
Ilderton this week and sent
the visitors home with an 11-0
defeat. The Ilderton team has
had a real problem this year
and have not been able to win
a game.
The Exeter team was full
value for its win finishing off
their chances well. Scoring
for Exeter II1 were Todd
McCann, three, Jim Ahrens,
three, Justin Charrette, two,
Giselle Charette, Geof
Sanders and Mark D'Annah.
In pee wee action Exeter 1
travelled to Grand Bend. The
Exeter team took the game to
Grand Bend early and btltlt a
4-1 lead and seemed on their
way to a win, but Grand Bend
had other plans, and in the
last 15 minutes of the game
the Grand Bend team manag-
ed to come back and tie the
game.
The third tie between these
teams this season. Scoring for
Exeter I were Henri
DeBruyn, three and David
Josephson.
Exeter II played at home
against Ilderton. In a fairly
physical game, both teams
tried to sway the game their
way but it was the bigger Ex-
eter team that decided the
game in their favour and
strengthened their hold on
first place in the pee wee divi-
sion, and the championship is
now only a matter of time.
Scoring for Exeter II were
Eric Remkes, Chris Haugh
and Jeff Playfoot.
