EXETER WINS TOURNAMENT Street Dance Draws large Crowd The baseball tournament in Exe ter on Labor Day was a huge suc cess. The tournament marked the opening of the new ball diamond on the agricultural grouxlds. The dia mond is situate in front of the grand stand which accommodates a large crowd of people and from which there is an excellent view of the en tire field. A large amount of work has been put on the diamond to get it in shape. The infield was. in ex cellent condition but the outfield is a little rough as yet. It will how ever be put in first-class shape. A large crowd was present and was treated to three snappy games of ball particularly the final game which kept the fans and players on their toes until the last man was out. In the opening game Crediton was drawn against Hensail. Hen sail had a real battery. It was their, first appearance on an Exeter diamond and they delivered the goods which with the splendid support given by the fielders they succeeded in shutting out the Crediton players and at the same time tallied five runs. Bill Motz was on the mound for Crediton and gave a good ac count of himself until he slipped a cog in the fifth and walked the first two men up. The third man got first base on an error and the three runs were chalked up. Hensail scored one in the first and one in the second. Only 24 Crediton men faced the Hensail pitcher in seven innings. The second game was between Staffa and Exeter and the latter team won 5 to 1. The start-off looked as' if Staffa were going to walk away. Steve Dundas was in the box for Exeter and with two men down Staffa scored a run and filled the bases but a well-fielded ground er .to second and a- snappy put-out at first caused the runners to die there. It was Staffas best chance to score during the game and it was the only innings in .which they scor ed a run. In the second'innings for Exeter Morrison went to first on an error, stole second and was brought home on a hit by Beavers. With two men down the bases were full and the next man up struck out. Exeter scored one in the second; one in the one in The between Hensall and Exeter. Both teams were out to win and players and fans were keyed up.. The large crowd had sweltered in the hot sun all afternoon but interest had not burned out and^-the majority ■stayed till nearly seven o-’clock to 1 see the finish. Hensall .used- th- same battery as in the' first game, while Lawson pitched for Exeter. In the second innings Hensall scored the first run when they got two hits off Lawson.' That was the only run scored until the last of the fourth, the first three innings the Hen pitcher had seven strike-outs to credit and the Exeter boys got hits, but the second t.'mo up they connected with better results and in the fourth went into the lead with three runs. They added one in the fifth and in the sixth. In the seventh Exeter blew up and allowed three runs. The fun started when the Exeter catcher made a perfect throw to second to catch the runner but there was none there to take it. A poor throw to third allowed the run ner- to score. Before the boys got settled three runs had crossed the plate. Hensall had two men on in the eighth but fail'ed .to score and the game ended 5 to 4. The line up: i Crediton—B. Fahner, H. Shenk, F. Faist K. Fahner, Wuerth, L. Fah ner, R. Shenk, Mclsaac, W-. Motz, Holtzman.

Tieman, Hind Barry, Lawson, Morrison, c; “ vers, Yule, Dundas. -■ Hugh Berry and Reg.. Taylor handled the games and gave excel lent satisfaction. ■ There were several added attrac tions during the afternoon. Follow ing the first game there was a half mile race between Pete Willard on horseback and Harvey Pollen in a Ford roadster. The horse went in to the lead on the start and at half way there was- a considerable gap between the two but the auto cut down the lead and went ahead on the home stretch winning by a small margin. Between the second and third games there was a bareback running race with Pete Willard, Jim Taylor and* A. Passmore astride the ponies. Taylor went ink) the lead and was only nosed out in the end by Willard after a very spirited finish, The time was less than a minute: All afternoon an aeroplane with a pilot from "Hamilton circled the field with passengers. He landed in a field just north of Exeter shortly af ter dinner and from then until dusk did a flourishing business in taking up passengers. A great many had the thrill of a ride in the air for the first time. A street dance was held in the ev ening and never in the history of Ex- eter was such a large crowd packed on the Main St The block between the Bank of Montreal and North St. was roped off for dancing and the old and young participated. People were present from miles around and mostPof the citizens of town were on the street. The Shamrock Or chestra of Lucan provided the music.
