Ever remembered by Daisy BASEBALL LOCALS LOSE FIRST GAME The local ball- team suffered their first set-back of the season on Fri­ day evening when they were beaten soundly by the Creditpn team. The Crediten beys were in rare form as were the locals. Errors played a very important part in the downfall of the home team. They could not get going and every man on the team had an error or errors chalked up against him. Crediton opened the scoring in the first inning and be­ fore the third out had been made six runs had crossed the plate. The lo­ cals at this-stage of the game seem­ ed stage struck and with four errors to their qredit sure looked bad. A repetition of the first inning again took, place in the third and Credit- on counted five more. They scored two more in the fourth and in the eighth the locals again went hay-’ wire and Crediton scored five more bringing the grand total up to eigh­ teen, The losers scored one in th® second and two in the third but af­ ter that it was just a matter of time. Bill Motz did the hurling for the winners and although not in the best of form was given fair support by his team mates. Hum Willard hurled the entire game for the lo­ cals and although hit hard at times was given terrible support. A large crowd turned out with expectations of seeing a good game. Many were disappointed while others thorough­ ly enjoyed seeing the locals mess up many good chances. This was the locals first defeat and places them in a tie with Crediton as the Credit­ on boys have been' defeated but once. Freeman Morlock umpired behind the plate. The teams were; Crediton-T—Haist, 2nd; Bowman, cf; Merner, 3rd; Lewis, c; Motz pG, Schenk, If; Fahner, 1st; Wein, ss; Trick, rf.

The locals had to postpone the sche­ dule game at'Hensan owing’ to the fact that ah exhibition O. B. A. game was being-staged, henceforth a game between married and single was ar­ ranged, iHar.p Rivers did the man­ aging for the married men while Garnet Flynn took the role as man­ ager for the single. Hum Willard did the huyling for the winners and made some of the older boys look bad on his hooks ana drops. The married men started with Hamilton (an imported player) in the box but he was relieved by Pete Willard in the third inning. Dick started as catcher but had placed by Reg. Taylor in inning when he failed to hooks and slants of the pitchers. The winners had three big innings which they scored all their They scored five in the first four in the fourth and fifth, married men scored one in the se­ cond, three in the third and three in the sixth, Bert Rivers supplied the fielding sensation for his team when he snared a good catch for the singles in the fourth inning. Lack of wind on the .part of many of the married men proved a very baa handicap, while others complained of their eyesight and the brightness of the sun was blamed for many misplays. Two married men did the umpiring, Harry Carey, started calling the strikes and Roy Gouldtng were CARD OF THANIfS Mr. and Mrs. E, G.
