•
LucknoW Legionnaires, snagged'
their •losing streak on Tuesday
night when, they 'handed ' the
league -leading Meaford' Nine a
2-0 trimlming, in a tense; and
thrilling' game,, that saw the Mea-
ford'Coach, elected from tl e;bench
in the 7th inning. •
all had the vaunted Meaford
slu ers; ndcuffed 'on •Tuesday
nil d it. '.a4 sweet 'revenge
for the ..big speedster . after the
Way they .batted: him about • last
Thursday.. Hall limited' the visi-
tors to two hits, walked two and
struck' out 14 H•e, was never : in
trouble '• except in, the , 4th and
5th • when Medford' made their.,
only threats tb ,break ;'the tgoorse
egg. .:. N
But Freeman, the su►limmyyariner
on ,the• Meaford mound, was. good
too..' He limited the. Legionnaires:
to four:hits, issued only one pass
and whiffed L8` '
Lucknow :'won .it • jn the ,7th.
Miley led. off by •bouncing a hot
-One off' the shortstop. The second
baseman recovered and .. threw
him out at first to .a chorus . of
"robber". EWerybody but the ump
figured Shelley was safe; Mor-'
leyy:. Chin' singled •cleanly to :left
and . went to .second on a :passed
ball;: Cuming whiffed and. Jack •
MacDonald. came • through ; with a
''sharp _ single :to 'score : • Morley
standing up. MacDonald had:
rounded, second on the throw an,
and .cher the: Meaford .,catcher
tried to pick him off,' ~Smithson
let the ball getaway on . him
'MacDonald, Who :never boasted of.
being :a:; speedster..on 'the' path
'way's, made . for third.. The' throw
was bad, caromed off the ':screen
-and into . the players •;bench. Jack
was on his way to'the. plate and
although tagged ..at the; ',plate:
the . run was .allowed, which :set
'off .'the argument that resulted in
Umpire 'George St, Marie giving
the Meaford manager "so long"
to get' off the diamond. He took
the full :count; for '•all it'. was:
worth .and then, docile as a lamb,
:miade his exit.
But one, runwas enough, any -
Li eknow's only'• other threat`
was in. the 4th., Clarence ' Gree
walked :and' `advanced, as George
Chin• grounded, • out. Miley
scratched a hit by pounding.. one:
to the Mound that was 'too' hot
to handle, Greer ' going to third-
Morley Chin ,rolled to the mound
and • Greer was • cut off . at the
plate as he iattei pted to score.
.Cuming flied out to end it
'Meaford's big moment was: the
4th.;Oha!pman led off with a walk
• and Miller slashed a two -bagger
under the,rail' in right -centre, to
. Put runners .on second: and' third.

'and none out. Freeman .flied 'to
Coming, Richardson struck out,
and Douglas grounded out second.
to 'first, Morley Chin at second
had 'the busiest infield spot. He•'
handled 5 chances faultlessly.. In
fact the whole team was playing
sharp. ball and committed .but one
error
Medford's only other • threat.
was in the 5th. Doran, grounded
out short to first, Eagles walled,
•Smithson fanned and Douglas
'singled to 'advance Eagles ;to 3rd
