The men’s Softball League came
to a climax on Wednesday last with
a tournament at Dashwood before a
large crowd of enthusiastic spectat
ors. In the opening game Dash
wood and Crediton Evangelicals
player with the former winning by
the score of 22 to 14. Restemeyer
and Hirtzel were the opposing pitch
ers for the seven-inning contest. In
the second game Thames Road and
Main St., of Exeter met. At the
end of the seven innings the former
team was leading by a score of 8 to
3. At tihis stage a dispute arose
over aiir illegal bat the winners were
using with the result that the game
was replayed from the 'fifth inning.
This incident made little difference
in the standing as the Thames Road
team was again victorious. Cluff
and Hammond formed the winning
battery, while A. Lindenfield and O.
Lawson worked or the losers. It
was a close game throughout with
neither team scoring till the fifth in
ning. Both pitchers had plenty of
speed on the ball. In the third and
deciding game, E. Tieman took up
the pitching for Dashwood while
Hammond went to the mound for
Thames Road. The final score end
ed 12 to 6 in favor of Thames Road.
The winners took the lead in the op
ening innings when they connected
with the offerings of Tieman quite
freely. He was relieved by Rest
emeyer in the third inning. The
teams struggled along and finally
tied up the game in the sixth inning
only to ihavo Thames Road gain the
lead in the remaining innings. This
tournament proved to be the biggest
success in years with the gate
eeipts amounting to nearly $90.
