Mr. Robert Slanders landed in a ditch face downward -and was rendered unconscious. The foreman Mr. Rufus Cutting received a broken arm and w^s cut about the face and other bruis'es, At first it was thought that Mr. Sidney San­ ders had suffered a sprained wrist, but it has since been learned that a small bone has been fractured.

A. ball team passed out of the picture on Satur­ day afternoon when they suffered their defeat at the hands of the Southampton team. The team from the north defeated Hensall 6 to\3' on Wednesday afternoon last and came back strong on Saturday to win 11 to 1, thereby eliminating Hensall and advancing themselves to the fourth round in the plhy-offs. There was no boubt as to the better of the feams. Kerslake was on the mound for Hensall. He was credited for nine strikeouts but was. touched for a goodly number of clean hits. Lefty Goldsmith for Southampton had no difficulty in holding the Hensall sluggers in check. He allowed- .only four hits, two of these coming in the last inning to give the home team their only run. He also struck out thirteen * men. The winners started their scoring in the opening inning and kept adding to it through­ out. Hensall threatened to score in. the fourth inning when they had men on second and third with ‘none -out but Goldsmith tightened up to strike out the next two batters and forced the third man to ground to second. A good crowd was on hand to witness the game. The Hensall team are to be conlgqii.tulated on their showing in the play-offs. Af­ ter drawing a bye in the regular schedule they eliminated the highly- rated Strathroy team and then took the Waubuno team into camp. In, 'each series an extra game was nec- essa’ry with the Hensall team supply­ ing the winning punch in each. They fell at the hands of a better team, a team that should go a long way before they are eliminated. Gold­ smith, their pitcher, is in a claps of his own while the rest of the team play a good game and are exception­ ally hard hitters. Misfortune befell Hensall when they lost the services of Welsh their home town pitcher who has been out of the last of the play-offs with a bad ankle. The teams were: <■ Southampton—Aiken, 1st; Kreu- ger c; Goldsmith, p.; Indoe, rf; Sie- berllng, 2nd; Kugler, If; Brawn cf; McKay &rd. - Hensall—Foster cf; McCauley 2; Gascho If; Joynt c; Kerslake rf; Brintnell ss; Rennie 3rd; Cantelon 1st and Kerslake p.
