Lucan Irish Make It Two C. > I t /"S r* • < kl< straight Uver Lxeter Nine The largest crowd in several seasons turned out last Friday night to see the local ibaseballers in action against their rivals from Lucan. Their favourites dropped the tilt but at that it was a real game right up until the fjnal and deciding inning, Like the game the previous week in Lucan it was a close •contest that wasn’t decided until the eighth and last frame. Going onto the inning the teams were tied up at 5-5. Penhale walked Hodgins, who advanced to third on McRoberts’ double and scored on a passed hall. Then with run­ ners on second and third, Bill Chown clouted a triple to add two more runs and came in him­ self on Metcalf’s infield roller. Exeter was not able to get any back in the last half and the score ended 9-5. . In both games against Exeter first baseman Chown has broken up the tilts with his slugging bat. He had a triple and a dou­ ble in four trips to the plate. Jack Elson toiled the route for the winners and besides al­ lowing but seven hits came up with some nice fielding plays. Only extra base knocks given up were to Gord Farrow, with a triple, and Fred Darling, a dou­ ble. On the mound for Exeter / Johnny Baumann went the first six frames, Although frequently in trouble Baumann gave up no more than single runs in four of the innings. In the second the first three men filled the sacks and the local twirler went on to fan the next three batters. Bothered by a sore arm he walked off the diamond after throwing two halls in the sixth when Em 'Penhale took over the tossing, While Exeter had trouble In getting to Elson in all but three innings, the third, was their big threat. Farrow singled and scored on Darling’s double who, along with Brintnell, came in on Hodgins’ error at second. At bat Chown, Metcalf and Kufl’ner for Lucan, and Farrow .. . - ... - . in­ Ball Figures HURON-PERTH W G 3 3 3 2 2 3. 1 0 0 i ......

THE LUCAN IRISH have set the Exeter hardball nine back on their heels in the last two con­ tests but, while the locals have not advanced in the standing, these two losses have provided the fans in Lucan and Exeter with two dandy games. Both of them were not decided until the final inning, At the game in Exeter a large attendance turned up to support the locals. In fact, it was the best in--sever al seasons. The all- important win was lacking, but at that it was a real game from the- spectator’s viewpoint, Exeter appeared to be masters in the field, but at the plate the hoys were held in check by Jack El­ son’s fine twirling. The locals at present are hav­ ing their annual mound trouble but in the very near future we look for brighter prospects. Bau­ mann’s arm doesn’t seem to be responding as it should. If he can get it back into shape he has proven that he will be a valuable asset. Give Em Penhale a couple more weeks for proper conditioning and when Keith Ormrod is back to help out the club later on Exeter should be in there with the rest of the pack in the top section. WE HAVE heard several com­ ments about the execellent con­ dition of the baseball diamond in both home games. Credit for this goes to Gerry '.Smith, who has spent a great deal of time to keep the grounds in such fine shape, THE LEGION has entered a team in the zone softball league which gets under way this Wed­ nesday night. The locals will play in Seaforth on the opening Hight home night week full schedule. Teams in the league include, besides Exeter, Goderich, Clin­ ton, Hensall, Brussels, 'Seaforth. The first four will enter the zone playoffs. New Column This week a new column ap­ pears on the sport page, writ­ ten by Cpl. Begley from the RCAF Station Centralia. This season he has been handling games behind the plate in the Huron-Perth and is a guy that knows his rule book backwards. Begley’s column will interpret the rules for our readers and ’ explain why the umpire calls certain plays with which fans are not familiar. % Otir Canadian markets are well above these of the export.

M. Francis The following are a few base­ ball and softball rules, that very fexv ball players k n o w. The most important thing in the game is’ to know the rulebook -from cover to cover, and when explaining them call them as they are in the book. A rule quiz amongst your team will produce wonderful results. Learn the rules, and remember, “A teams that wont be beaten, can’t be beaten”. The Infickl Fly The infield fly is a rule that has been misinterpreted very often. It was brought into tlie game several years ago to pre­ vent a ball player from purpose­ ly dropping a fly ball to make a double play. It takes effect when there is less than two out (hone or one) with base run­ ners on first, and second, or runners on first second and third, and the batter hits a fair fly ball that, in .the judgement of the umpire, could be handled by an infielder—-the batter is automatically out, but please note, a line drive or a bunt is not regarded as an infield fly. Running On Third Strike ’ In almost every game I umpire,z I find that numerous players do not know when they can run after swinging at a third strike. You can run only when: ELLIOT TEL. 64W EXETER SANDY A. W.

(The only ex­ ception to this is if two men are out, the batsman may run regardless of whether* the bases are occupied or not. 3. If you hit a fair ball, or bunt fair. Did You Know That 1. Forfeited games are award­ed by the umpire to the team not at faultr by the score of 9-0. (One run is allowed for each Of the nine innings that normally would have been ' played.) ’ 2. If a fielder stops or catches » a thrown hall, or a batted ball, , with his cap, hat. glove, or any , part of his uniform while de- . tached from its proper place on ■ his person, the runner, or run- . ners, all advance three bases on ■ a batted ball and two bases on< ; a thrown ball. In . they may advance j their own risk. s 3. A runner van > right after overrunning i base, as long as he makes no J attempt to go to second,base. 4. If a pitcher does hot give a runner time to touch his base after a foul ball has been hit, the runner is released from this obligation and he can t ti r n around and turn to the next base. 5. The maximum length of softball bat is 34 inches. 6. The maximum length of baseball bat is 42 inches. 7. Twine, tape or a granulated substance must be wrapped around a softball bat for a dis­ tance of 122 inches, but not be wrapped around a ball bat. Baseball Quiz if you were the umpire would you do if-—A base runner is on b a s e, the batter hits a long long ball for a home run, the base runner on base, along with the batter, begins to run th© bases, but as the first run­ ner rounded third base and was running towards the plate he dropped dead a few yards from the plate. The second runner, who was running close behind him* stopped and picked up the unfortunate fellow, carried him to the plate, touched' the dead man's foot to the plate, then touched the plate himself. Do both runs count? Does one run count? Is one man out? Are they both nut?
