LONDON RED CAPS WIN EROM EXETER 4-1 The local baseball fans were treated to a fast game of ball Labor Day morning when the Exeter team showed up well against the London Red Caps, inter-county nine in the O.B.A. League. The score was 4-1 in a nine innings game that had plenty of thills for the spectators and was certainly no walk-over for the team from the Forest city. Exe­ ter scored * the first run in the. se­ cond innings while London scored their first in the fouth and another’ in the sixth. In the sixth innings Exeter had a chance to score but the side was retired with the bases full. In this innings with two men on An­ derson went in as a pinch hitter and' filled the base's but the next man struck out. Lawson pitched a won­ derful game for the locals and al­ though he had fewer strike-outs than the London twirlers he was tip against more experienced batters. Ha 1 fanned the first two men up to bat. In the second with two men on bases Bruce Medd made a sensa­ tional catch at centre field. In the third wLawson walked the first man up but got hm at second on a bunt. The next man batted to Lawson who held the runner on second and at the same time caught the batter at first. Beavers caught an infield fly for the third put-out. The first man up in the fourth struck out and the se­ cond batter hit a long drive to cen­ tre field and on a wild throw made third. Later the runner was caught between third and home and seemed to be bottled up tight when a player dropped the ball and the runner ■ scored London’s first. In the fifth one man flied out, and jtwo batted to Lawson being put out at 1st. In the sixth Lawson walked the first man and struck out the second. next man connected but was put out at 1st advancing the runner who scored the second run on a hit. In the seventh innings Anderson at left •field took two pretty flies and a runner who had made second on a hit was caught off the bag. Lawson had two strike-outs in the eighth and Medd picked another fly. In the ninth the first man flied out and the n£xt two ‘got bases on bunts the infield- being very slippery from the rain the previous night. The third batter batted to third and instead of getting the runnel* at third the ball was thrown to first for a put- out.
