Strathroy won the first game handily but the County Seat nine came through with the tying and winning games. They will now ad vance into the next round. It was the first Midget game seen on the home diamond and the young lads, all under sixteen at the first of the season, staged a smart exhibition of baseball for one of tlrn most exciting games of 'the year. Goderich came up with runs in the second, third and fifth innings to take a 3-0 lead. In the seventh Strathroy combined two doubles for a run and scored another in the final inning but the tying run died on second. Although he was the loosing pit cher the lanky Strathroy pitcher, Butler, had fifteen strikeouts to his credit but on the other hand allow ed nine hits compared to Wilson’3 five. The Goderich portsider never was in serious trouble throughout the nine frames. GODERICH — Fulford, lb; Mc- Ewand and Meriam, If; Holland, i Firemen Quench Lions’ Challenge The battle of the season it was advertised and the battle of the season it was last Thursday evening at the local arena. Actually it was a challenge softball game between those two hard-slugging organisa tions, the Exeter Lions and the Fire Brigade, but you may call It what you wish. At any rate the fans will remember the money’s worth they got and the participants the physical reminders the received the next day when the proceeds were turned over to the Exeter and Dis trict Hospital Fund, Just what the final score read is a minor point (especially to the Lions) when you consider the many new features that these two teams have introduced to the game. Suf ficient it is to state that Fire Chief Bill Chambers and his crew tamed the Lions and now have the chal lenge safely caged. The Brigade came well prepared for action as they entered 'the ring with sirens, extinguishers and red fire hats that some smart Lion had given his adversaries for a bit of free publicity! Chief Worry was called upon to act as the arbitrator. At first -the fire eaters had their hands full with the onslaught of the welfare demons and ere the first bout had ended, Lions Steiner, O. Southcott, MacNaughton, Bell and Sweitzer had all struck telling blows for a comfortable margin. From 'there on the tables turned and the Brigade had their enemy under control as if it were one of the last few local blazes. Lion Steiner gave the Chief a little trouble early in the tussle. The king of the club attempted to score his -telling punch via third base and back again but the law sent the culprit to first where he should have been. When he did get to third the members of the pack had to carry him home. On another occasion the Lions got panicky and in their disorder the Brigade went wild on the bases until first baseman Cochrane held Fireman Wells on third until the remaineder of his charges got in fighting position again. Probably the one time that the extinguisher came in the handiest was oxi Lion Dinney’s throw from •third to first that caught pitcher Sweitzer on the chin. Fireman Creech hastily cooled the ailing member with a few healthy gush es. When Lion Blowes found trouble reaching pitcher Sanders’ high toss es first baseman Cochrane boosted his mate in his shoulders. In repris al Fireman Ford did likewise to Sanders and the Fire Chief aided his man Smith at the receiving end. Lion Blowes managed to come up with a hit but in the attempt to reach first the Cochrane-Blowes Daniel Lewis Lpve Exeter Native Dies Daniel Lewis Love, 44, brother of Angus M.
