THAMES ROAD WINS FROM
ZURICH
Thursday evening Thames Road
trimmed Zurich 5 to 1 on the form
er’s diamond. The game was fast
and exciting, and a good bran’d of
ball played. Hubert Heywood pit- | ching for Thames Road, twirled brii-
lliant ball, and was invincible allow
ing Zurich, but one lone hit and
would have handed Zurich a wash
out, except for a poor throw to third:'
which gave them their only* tally.
The Zurich sluggers had difficulty
in seeing the ball and man/ were
turned back by the strike-out route.
The chief feature of the game was
the fielding of a tast grounder by
Lawson, who touched third and with
a bullet-like throw to Hind at second
completed a double play. O’Brien
pitching for Zurich was touched for
several good hits and only particul
arly snappy fielding by the Zurich
infield kept the Thames Road boys
from shoring on several occasions.
EXETER WINS FIRST PLACE
Exeter Vase ball team ’Again 'mast
ered the Goderich team on Friday
night, last when they defeated
their opponents by a score of 7 to 5
on the latter’s diamond. The game
was exciting throughout and a good
brand of baseball shown. This was
a postponed game and the wind-up
of the league until the play-off. The
Goderich boys held’ the lead by a
score of 5 to .2 up, till the eighth
inning when the Exeter boys, due to
some good hitting and errors on the
part of the Goderich team, shoved
five runs across the plate this mak
ing the score 7 to 5. Neither team
scored in the ninth. Exeter secur
ed two runs in the second inning
and five in' the seventh while Gode
rich secured one in the 'first, one in
the third, two in the fourth and one
in the seventh. The Goderich boys
found it quite hard to connect with
Lawson's twisters and he succeeded
in striking ■ out thirteen men, and
v, alked none. The Exeter team col
lected a number of hits off Gold-
thorpe, the Goderich pitcher. Gold-
thorpe succeeded in striking out 4
men but he also walked four. The
game was witnessed by a fair-sized
crowd. ' The line-up—-Exeter, Medd,
L- Tieman, Hind, Neeb, Lawson,
Yule, Beavers, Anderson and Taylor.
Goderich-—-Weir, Archer, Nairn,
Kirkby, Marlowe, Sheridown, Lan-
Hadden, Goldthorpe.
