ZURICH DEFEATS CREDITON
QUALIFY FOR FINALS
On Friday evening last Crediton
were defeated,by Zurich in a sudden
death game on the Jlensall ^diamond
by the score of 15-7.* The game did
not produce the brand of baseball to
be expected of a semi-final game,
Crediton contributing'a lion’s share
of the misplays, and Zurich scored
in every inning except one. The
winners, behind O’Brien, who did
mound duty for Zurich, played good
ball except in the eighth inning
when their errors netted Crediton 4
runs. The Crediton infield showed
a very poor class of ball and were'a-
long way from, their best and -in ad
dition their notable hard hitting was
in absence which all contributed to
their severe defeat. The teams—

TRUCKS COLLIDE AND
I MACHINES ARE WRECKED
An auto accident occurred on the
London Road between Mooresville
and Clandeboye on Monday evening
and as a result considerable damage
was done to two corn-husking mach
ines that were being brought to Ex
eter for use in the canning factory.
Mr, L. White was bringing the two
machines from Aylmer on the can
ning factory truck when the crank
shaft broke near Lambeth. He was
being towed to town by Mr. W. Sims
with, one of the Bagshaw transport
trucks. The trucks had jnst crossed
a narrow culvert on the- road hear
Clandeboye when they were met by
a truck used by contractors now
working on the Sarnia gravel road,
the driver evidently not seeing the
culvert until too late to stop and in
crowding onto the road the front
wheel struck the hind wheel of the
Bagshaw truck. The front wheel of
the other truck was broken letting
the front end down and drawing it
under the wheels of the canning
factory truck. The wheels of the
latter truck passed, over the front
end of the other and tliO two corn
husking machines .slid off' into the
ditch and badly damaged. None of
the drivers were hurt. The two
machines were in., the ditch all day
Tuesday and on Wednesday were
taken to Aylmer for repairs.
