Loses to Zurich
The Zurich baseball team took
a convincing 18-9 victory on
their home diamond from the
Exeter nine, last Thursday
night.
Zurich scored in every frame
but the fifth to add up their im
pressive total. In the scoreless
inning, Exeter pulled off a dou
ble play when Yungblutt ground
ed to short and Bedard was
nipped off second.
The winners used three pit
chers, Ab Heideman started on
the mound but in the third, Ex
eter’s biggest inning, was reliev
ed by Stade. Carl Heideman
went in to pitch in the fourth
and finished the game. Exeter
got but six hits off the three of
them.
Morton went the distance for
the locals, He allowed sixteen
hits and his teammates had ten
bobbles in the field.
Top batter for the winners
was Hess with three singles in
four times at bat. Carl |Ieide-
man banged out a triple while
Bedard and Yungblutt both had
doubles. Robinson for Exeter
was the only batter to get more
than one hit with two singles
in five times at bat. Smith got
the only extra base blow, a dou
ble in the fifth.

“Well,” a certain woman re
marked archly at the Ladies’
Aid, “Isohel is a woman who
suffers for her belief.”
“Goodness,” remarked another
in surprise, “whatever is Isohel’s
belief?”
“That she can wear number
3 shoes on number 6 feet.”
NEXT WEDNESDAY will be a
big day in Exeter for harness
racing fans in Western Ontario.
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.
Bell with two singles was best
for the losing aggregation. Pfaff
went the distance on the mound
for the Dashwood girls, while
N. Dietz and Kelly shared the
losers pitching chores.
