Bowey the first seven and two-third in­ nings hut despite a fine pitching performance the St. Marys team were willing with the willow and in the seventh two errors, two singles and a double accounted for foul runs. In the ninth St. Marys con­ tinued their hitting prowess to pick up four more runs while Art Cann and Harry Holtzman were twirling, For the first two innings only thirteen men faced Moore and Gra­ ham. Robinson got on first on Hall's error in the last half of the second when four locals batted. In the first half of the inning Blackman touched Moore for a single but Swan hit the pill down to short that Robinson scooped up to start a double play. Two doubles and a single in the third gave St. Marys a three-run lead. In the seventh Wilson drove out a home-run ball to add another. In these first seven innings the -Ex­ eter twirler allowed but seven hits and had eight strike-outs. In the last half of the seventh Exeter scored their first run when Joe Creech bagged a triple and then came home after Gerry Smith’s long fly -ball had been caught. This made the score 4-1. In the eighth St. Marys let loose for four more runs and increased that to another four in the ninth. Cann scored the other Exeter run in the ninth. After hit­ ting a single and stealing second he was driven in by Gord Farrow’s single. Exeter made three nice fielding plays, two of them coming in the fourth when Farr’ow and Elson pull­ ed down two long flies. In the fifth Harry Holtzman robbed -A. Noble of a hit iby snagging the first base­ man’s line drive. Sport Facts W L Pet.

John Rether, Dick Watson and Bill Musser, the three local pitchers, were most generous as hosts to the visitors by issuing a total of twenty- four free passes, twenty-one walks and three hit batsmen, and gave up three hits for a total of twelve runs. Exeter on the other hand were held in toe by a neat six-hit pitching ef­ fort -by Miller for four runs. The Clinton twirler had eleven strike­ outs. The only inning that Clinton fail­ ed to score came in the fourth when Exeter pulled off a fast double play. Miller, the first man up, walked while Garron grounded to short to start the double was walked and out by Musser. Exeter scored first inning through again until the sixth with their fourth score. Bill Tuckey and George Rether each drove out two hits while Hignell and John Rether got the other two. CLINTON Hediger, If ... Steep, rf ...... J. Wilson, 3b Miller, p ...... Garron, 2b ... A.

In the evening Stratford won the championship. * * * * Ambition himself is Gerry Smith the Intermediate baseball coach and catcher. To prove this take for ex­ ample Monday. At seven-thirty in the morning he was up at the dia­ mond getting it in shape for the juvenile game before attending his regular tonsorial work. At noon he grabbed a fast bite to eat and was up at the park again for a time and at six o’clock -Gerry was up again getting things ready for the game and then umpiring on the bases. * * * * In the seven games played to date by the Intermediate basebailers Joe Creech continues to lead the bat­ ting parade with a .475; Gord Far row follows next with .3 60 and Glenn Robinson and Harry Holtz­ man are tied with .333. In the five games he has played Jack Elson is hitting .3 75. * * * * This week sees a big difference in the ball standings. St. Marys, un­ der the steady pitching of Graham, came through with three wins and on top of that another game has been added to the win column when they defeated Lucan in a postponed game. -Centralia to the best of our knowledge took two from Dash­ wood to take over second place while Exeter lost their only game to drop down to third. Dashwood and Lucan are in fourth and fifth place, respectively. * * * * The local Juvenile pitchers ap­ parently tried to outdo the Clinton hitters themselves Monday night with too much on the ball rather than control and as a consequence gave up 24 free passes. However the infield and outfield as a whole looked pretty fair and with the ex­ ception of a couple of misses han­ dled their end very well. Friday night they tangle with the Zurich- Hensall team. * * * * The request that fans use the grandstand for baseball games ap­ parently fell on deaf ears. Last Fri­ day night the ctowd standing along the baseline spoiled at least -two chances for players to try and catch foul tips. It’s hardly fair to them, folks!* * * * Wednesday night the men’s soft- ball team will be hosts to Sharon on the- local diamond. They have yet to lose a game, winning five straight. * * * * Jack Morrissey’s Super Volo showed the way at Strathroy on the holiday. The 3-year-old captured the $1,000.

The ground is in a very hard and dry state making gardening diffi­ cult to cultivate. Mr. James Scott was taken to the hospital at Seaforth on Thurs­ day night. He was busy in his gar­ den and took a weak spell. We hope I for a speedy recovery. | Quite a number from here at- i tended the Thames Road straw­ berry supper. Everett Kerslake had the mis­ fortune to break his leg recently while playing ball at Staffa. He will soon be able to get around again and be able to play again. Mrs. John Scott spent Friday ■ with friends in Seaforth and Sat- ' urday with friends in Stratford. There has been a grand display of blossoms this spring but reports are that there is a blight of some sort and that the fruit is not form­ ing properly. Former Exeter Girl Married in B. C. t An interesting ceremony taking place on Friday, June 27th, at five o’clock in the United Church at Lander, British Columbia, united in marriage Constance Ann Gordon, daughter of Ex-Alderman and Mrs. David A. Gordon, and Mr. Lester John Hall, of Canvey Island, Eng­ land, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alfred T. Hall. Rev. Mr. Crees was the officiating clergyman.

A Want Ad will bring an invas­ ion of buyers to your home. Why be “cash out” when you can “cash in” with a Times- Advocate Want Ad? KnSSE Isn’t it a Fact? @ It matters little what you want to buy these days . . . soap, a shirt, a new car . . . even electricity (which you don’t have to line up for) continues to be scarce in Southern Ontario. Have you tried to build a home lately? . . . tried to buy building materials of any kind. What a headache I How would you like to be shopping for what’s needed for a new electric power plant? Unimaginable amounts of concrete, steel and other materials, as well as tremendous quantities of electrical equipment, would have to be sought out and purchased. It takes several months now to get such equipment as transformers and costs are up by more than half. The bigger they are the harder they are to get. What about the huge generating stations required to supply Ontario with an additional badly needed half-million horsepower? Weil, they are being built. They were started years ago. But they cannot ail be ready in 1947. Some woift be ready next year. In the meantime, demand for electricity is growing faster than new power plants. Few people anywhere use as much electricity per person as in Ontario. Few have as much to use. Enjoy your low-cost electric power, but use it wisely. Your Hydro Commission is doing everything possible to increase the supply; but it will still be necessary to conserve electricity this fall and winter.
