The local Turf Club has gone all out to make this the best meet it has sponsored. A total of $1,800 in prize money is be­ ing put UP and the best horses in Ontario will be on hand to divide the purses, The British American Oil Company Stake will bring to­ gether the cream of the three- year-olds and will include those two. fine colts of Bill Herbert, of London, Jay Herbert and Ora G. Herbert. These outstanding horses have been setting the pace so •far this season in the three-year-old class. At least five district horses are expected to start next Wed­ nesday. Jack Morrissey, presi­ dent of the Turf Club, will start Silver Prince in the 2.28, as will Tom Yearly his Amber 'Gratton. Eric Mcl|roy of Grand Bend is expected to have his Silver Pe­ ter and Louella Gratton at the wire for the 2.22. Silver Peter won in Strathroy on the first. Another district horse, Miss Cor­ poral Gratton, owned by Omer Cunningham of Clandeboye will go in the 2.17 class. - EDDIE SEARS pitched the lo­ cal softballers to their tenth win last week when the club won from Centralia R.C.A.F, by a 12-9 count. Fred Darling con­ nected for a homer. This column will be in print before the cru­ cial game between Sharon and Exeter will have been played. The winner of this tilt will have a good chance of taking the league leadership. AN EFFORT is being' made by the local baseball executive to try to find a cure for the town club. A meeting was held with the players, Monday, but as yet nothing definite has been the outcome. Dashwood Girls Take Hensall 12-9 Dashwood whipped Hensall 12 to 9 in a W.O.A.A. ladies soft- ball contest played in Hensall Wednesday evening. The hard­ hitting ^Dashwood machine prov­ed too ’tough as they drove oxit 18 rousing hits. Clara Hoffman and Marilyn Pfaff both picked up home runs for the winners.
