Lucan Wins 7-6
Over St. Paul’s
The fans who witnessed the
second game in tlxe Thames
Valley Baseball League in Lucan
on July 15 got their money’s
worth. They saw Ernie Bond
get a double in the ninth to win
the game for Lucan ovei- St.
Paul’s with a score of 7-6.
Bob Watson’s hoxxier in the
seventh also thrilled the Lucan
fans. The series is now tied 1-1.
The deciding game, scheduled
for last Friday was postponed on
account of rain. This was an
asset for Lucan as Fred Reving-
ton was injured in the last
game.
The team hopes by the time
the weather settles Fred will
have recovered sufficiently to
play, as he has been their star
pitcher throughout the series.
However, win or lose, Lueanites
are proud of their Junior team.
Many wonder if the secret of
their success does not lie in the
fact the team is comprised of all
Lucan boys of the same stock
that made the old Irish Nine
famous.
As for the girls’ team, cupid
and movings have scattered the
senior team from here to Nova
Scotia, but the makings of a
new team is springing up from
our Public School. Lucan fans
are proud of these spunky little
go-getters who, like banty roost
ers, have the colossal nerve and
grit to stand up against the
mature girls of the league, many
years their senior. Several of
Lucan’s team are still only 11
I and 12 years of age.
