The game was one of the best wit nessed here this season and was baseball all the way through. • - Meadows went the route on; the mound for the visitors and turned in a creditable game, while O’Brien, hurling for the winners dished up equally fine display for seven innings when he retired in favor of Bert Horton who retired the last six men jn masterly style, five of them going down by the strike-out method. The last catch of the game was made by E. Fahner, Crediton First sacker,- who speared a red hot liner off O’Briens bat. He just had time to lunge sideways to make! the catch and was unable to retain his balance and fell with the ball in his mitt. The play brought a rousing cheer from the stands. The play all through was very close and it was only on rare occasions that it could be called anything but a good ball game. The batteries, for Crediton Mea dows and Grieves; for Hensall?

At a meeting of the Huron League Executive held at Hensall on Mon day evening the protest was upheld and this will make it necessary to replay the game at some future date. COUNTY OFFERS SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDENT IN AGRICULTURE •The Huron County Council at its June session voted $50.00 toward a scholarship for a county boy at tending the Ontario Agriculture Col lege. This amount will be. supple mented by a similiar sum from the Massey Fund at the College. That is to say the lucky sjudent will re ceive $100.00 during his first year at the College. This amount should represent a large part of the first year expense of a boy attending that Institution. The condition are briefly as fol lows: 1. The applicant should be farm ers sons residing in Huron County. 2. Applicants must be eighteen years of age on or 'before September 21st, 1928, the opening day at Col lege. 3. Applicants must be those con templating entering the two-year course. This is known as the asso ciate course. 4. Applicants should figure on taking up farming as their vocation at the conclusion of their college course. 5. Only one scholarship is avail able for the year 1928-29. 6. The total amount of the schol arship is $100.00, payable part in the Fall term and part in the Win ter term. 7. Applicants along with charac ter and other recommendations should be mailed to the Ontario De partment of Agriculture, Clinton, hot later than August 15th. 8. If a number of applications are received it may ,be necessary to have applicants appear before a com mittee in order to decide the winner. It is unnecessary to dwell here upon the advantages of a course in Agriculture' at such a well known Institution. There should be no scarcity of suitable applicants. Therefore, it is hoped that any boy contemplating entering the Q.A.C. this fall will make an effort to win a worth while scholarship.
