FIVE YEAR SUSPENSION
•, The WOAA executive met last
Friday night and; clapped a fiye-
year suspension-" from 'sport on:
Joe Sullivan of Walkerton, and
cannot appeal the decision for . at
least three years. _
The- suspension resulted from
his attack on Umpire Hugh. Cum
ing. who suffered a:badly gashed
mouth and damage* to four teeth,
as a .result. It is understood that
an effort will be made to recover
damages from Sullivan. The in
cident created a storm of protest
from sporting circles and the
W.O.A.,A.’s action, it is roped, will
cUrlb such hot-heads and prevent
a repetition of any such cowardly
attack, . ~ : —i

9-4 IN. SCRAMBLY GAME
•Wihgham Juveniles paid a visit
to Sepoyville on Friday-night and
fielded a team which included
three of, their midget team and
a couple of their Pee Wees by
the looks of their size. However,
Wingham played a steady game
and defeated the local 'boys 9-4.
The Lucknow boys played one;
of their weakest games of the
season, committing seven’ errors
and were literally “handing out”
runs to the W^ingharn. team, '
Kent Hedley pitched for Luck
now except io. the 7th inning
when Hughie MacMillan did a
-part-inning chore. Hedley struck
out 4, walked 1 and1 gave- up 13
hits. MacMillan, in half an inn?
ing, struck out 1, . walked 2: and
gave up one hit. Lancaster- for
Wihgharti struck out 11, walked
one and gave up 9 hits.
Lucknow again had one bad
inning, this time coming in. t,he
7th. . In' this’ inning Wingham
scored six runs on 5'hits and 2
walks. Although; Hedley gave- up
13 hits his support was just as
much to-blame for the loss. Some
of the hits .would not have been
such, had the players been in
correct position and rhoved .fast
■bn the^ ball; A Yiumibefkof passed^
balls, and some ^“thoughtlessJ
plays’* also helped the
boys along. \

now, He struck out 12, walked

ies for Blyth and between them,
gave up 9 hits to the local team.

If you run short of water in the late
summer on ybur farm, you can probably
* ; Cure the trouble for good with a
; well-placed farm pond.
' ‘ Built where it will catch the spring
ruhroff, your farm pond would provide a
ready supply of drinking water for
your cattle and a useful reservoir in times '
of drought. It’s a booh to any type
of farming, as many Canadian farmers -
. have already, discovered.
Don’t let a shortage of ready cash delay
this or any other farm improvement

As we said last week, it’s, for-.
tunate there are sportsmen -and
sport organizations who insist on
‘going by the book”. •
The W.O.A.A. has been a. tre-*
. mendous factor in . promoting
sport in Western Ontario, but the
readiness, arjd- in fact eagerness,
of some centres’ and officials; to
make or. break .rules to suit the
situation, has been a black eye
to an otherwise highly rated* loop.

. The W.O.A.A. executive has
decided, that the .first »garhe: of
the series between Wingham and
Lucknow Juveniles be ruled as
no , contest. This has .'been done
because of the ineligibility of sev?
eral. players who. have been
playing «all year with BI uevale
and Belmore Intermediate teams.
This was mentioned in an earlier
issue. .This game will therefore
have to be. replayed in Winghar,
at a later date.
■ The series between Wingham
and Lucknow thus reverted to a
win each as of the. first of the
week. ’ . . /' •. *

Gregg gave VicLoughlean and the
Wingham team the" CLK. to., sign
the Bluevale and Belmore boys
although they would be playing
Intermediate ball all year until
the playoffs. According to Tory’
. the “score” was A known by all
teams involved and everything'
Was “O.K.”. The Lucknow—man-
agement took the; matter, to the
“higher-ups” and when it. was.
investigated if was^found that all
was not' “as it should be” and
the League officials ruled that
Wingham could not" use these
players, •

So,, as Wingham had used about
5 of their 15 certificates on these
players, they now found them
