Finish On Bottom
The Exeter Intermediates slid
into the bottom position in the
Huron-Perth last week-end when
they were beaten at the Clinton
Radar station and* Dashwood de
feated Centralia. Previous to
this Exeter held a slim one-
point edge for the sixth playoff
spot,
Four wins in eighteen starts
isn’t a very impressive average.
Despite the fact that the execu
tive has imported players to
bolster the lineup for the last
two seasons the locals have been
shoved around by our neighbor
ing clubs who have a smaller
population than Exeter from
which to draw talent. The man
agement and executive have
tried vainly this season to give
Exeter a winning club but the
results despite their efforts have
been very disappointing,
Exeter’s big problem is still
the mound staff, This year John
ny Baumann was brought in
from Toronto and the youthful
flinger showed indications of
having the ability for Inter
mediate company in his first few
starts. However, a sore arm
failed to respond and he was
released. Keith Ormerod from
Russeldale was another chap
who signed up with the locals
but in his last few starts Keith
lost his effectiveness, probably
due to too much pitching be
tween the Exeter and Russeldale
clubs.
We hear many reports about
leaving the imports alone next
season and working on local
pitchers. This may have merit
but in our books .Exeter will
still need outside pitching talent
if they are going to lift them
selves out of the bottom divi
sion. All credit to the local lads
but they haven’t had the chance
in the last few years to work
into good twirlers. However, the
imports, too, haven’t proven out
and this is where the locals have
been very unfortunate. Import
ing is a big -problem but we
to see any other solution at
moment.

Delaying The Game
There is a very severe penalty
against a pitcher, if he throws to
a base as one might say ,‘for fun’
or to delay the game. Wilful de
lay on the part of a pitcher .in
delivering the ball, especially
when a storm threatens, or dark
ness appears should be punished
by the umpire. At the beginning
of an inning, the pitcher is al
lowed to throw five warm up
balls t0 the catcher or to an .in
fielder:

whether the pitcher’s pivot foot
is in contact with the rubber or
not.
It is a balk if the pitcher
takes a legal position on the
pitching rubber without the ball
in his possession, or if he feints
to delivei’ the ball to the batter
and is not on the rubber and the
ball is not in his possession. This
is just two ways .of balking, there
are many more. The penalty for
a balk is that each runner ad
vances one base in baseball, and
in Softball, it is a ball called on
the pitcher by the umpire.
Did You Know That
1. Babe Ruth, in addition to
his many batting feats, holds the
record for pitching the longest
World Series game on October
9, 1916. Pitching for Boston Red
Sox he beat Brooklyn 2-1 in 14
innings.
2. Lou .Gehrig's record of play
ing 2130 consecutive games, has
never even*
proached.
3. To find
average, you
total times at
her of base hits, but never into
the number of bases on |tits.
4. It is on record of a player
hitting half a home run. The ball
split in two, one half going over
the fence* and the fielder catch
ing the other half. The official
score of the game Was 1 to
runs. ”
5. The pitcher is credited with
a strike-out .when
is out tor bunting a foul ball on
his third strike.
6. If a player, manager or
coach is put out of a* first game
o<t a double header, in the Am
erican League, he is also out of
the second game. In the National
League, he may return and. play
the second game.
Baseball
With the bases tilled and two
out, batsman apparently triples,
three runs cross the plate, but
the batsman tails to touch second
base, the ball is thrown to sec
ond and he is called out, retir
ing the side. What runs, if any,,
score?(Answer Next Week)
A Bouquet TO:
The splendid co-operation be
tween your Exeter Sports Com
mittee, and the Airport, Thanks
tor the use ot the ball bark.
A Bit Of cotn
Why does it take longer to
run from second base to third
base, than it. takes from first
base to second base? Answer —*
Because there is a shortstop lit
between.
