Exeter de­ served a fyetter fate with a total of tAvelve hits and 'Dr. Bill Lawson on the mound with ten strike-outs to his credit. The visitors however, bunched their hits when they meant runs and the locals had players left stranded on the sacks Avith the much needed bingle failing -to materialize. The. third inning saAV ’both teams tied'at 3 all, but the first half of the fpurth proved the undoing of the home team when Ard'iel singled and Berry overtlireAv Mahon’s sacrificed, bunt. Then with two on White clouted out the longest hit of the inning, a triple to right scoring the tAvo men before him. McKenzie was • safe at 1st Avlien Morrison dropped the third strike, and White came • in fast to score. Bonk flied1 to Beaverg and Corsey walked. Rupple singled scoring McKenzie and Hod- ■ ginson struck out to end a most disastrous inning for Exeter, ended London’s scoring from that time on Dr. Bill was master of the situation. Gascho and Berry cross­ ed the plate for the home team in the fifth and in the seventh Exeter had1 a* real chance to tie the score with one out and a man on second and third, but as was mentioned be­ fore the big and much needed hit AVas not forthcoming. rhe misplays of the home team were not many but they came at critical times while the visitors were guilty of only one miscue. For the Winners White, the ,„agile second sacker turned in a fine performance m the Held while .he also clouted long triple .which meant so much, either , way. For Exeter^ Lawson.. deserves .word ..of 'cbm*- hiendhtlbh for his fine pitching ef­ fort which sure merited a better outcome"
