IhSURE
YOURSELF!
YOUR HOME
MAY BURN, TOO!
It's isn’t always the house
next door that goes up in
flames; it may be yours,
too! Can you replace it or
the valuables in it ? If you
carry insurance, is it up-to-
date in financial coverage ?
This is the story of the fence
which cost a. ball club a cham
pionship.
Mark you, it’is not an Impres
sive looking fence, In fact, it’s
rather ugly and dilapidated. It’s
full of rusty wire and broken
wood and it has big, gaping
holes in it. It hasn’t even
devilish look of a villain,
just an old fence.
But this istretgh of wire
wood took a trophy away from
Exeter Legion Mohawks, the
club that put it up.
You see, it happend this way.
Exetex' Legion Mohawks needed
only three points to top the
Huron-Perth league this
Two home runs over that
lost the Mohawks those
points.
The Mohawks put the fence up
during mid-season. Nobody had
ever hit a home run in the park
before because the outfield was
just a prairie. A batter would
have to clout a ball almost 600
feet to get a circuit clout. So to
add a little excitement
game, the locals decided
the home-run fence.
Costly Hit
Two weeks ago, when
hawks were making a determined
bid for the championship, they
lost a crucial two points to Clin
ton Radio by the score of 4-3.
A home run over the fence,
with one man on, lost the ball
game. ,
The third point disappeared
Monday night to Dashwood Tigers
when the locals gained only a
tie. Dashwood’s tying run came
off on—you guessed it—a home
run.
Now it may be just fantasy to
think that those homers cost
the three points. Maybe the balls
would have gone for extra
and the runners might
scored anyway. But, on the
hand, it’s more probably
without the fence
would have been just
Good Game
To get away from
story, and back to the
the Tiger-Mohawks tussle here
was a highlight of the season.
Both clubs played fine ball and
the ninth-inning excitement of
the affray brought the largest
crowd of the
to its feet. It
those thrillers.
Both teams
in the third inning and the dead
lock continued at a sizzling pace
until the seventh inning when
Lome Kleinstiver busted a clout
to put Dashwood ahead 3-2. The
Mohawks couldn’t get a piece of
anything until the exciting ninth.
Two men were out and the
crowd was ready to walk away.
Then, Jack Elson cracked a
single between first and second.
Gerry Smith, the first-base coach,
went in to pinch-hit for Doug
Smith. He peppered the first
pitch straight to Dashwood short
stop, Mac Barnes, and it looked
again like the game was over.
But the ball pitched crazily just
before Barnes closed his glove
on it and it bounded out in front
of the infielder. Smith was safe.

ground ball through the gut to
score Elson and tie the igame.
The next man struck out and the
rally ended.
The teams played one more
inning but both pitchers set the
opposiition down one-two-three.
The game was called for dark
ness.
Dashwood's Bob Brown and
Exeter’s Joe Mitro hurled fancy
ball for the fans. Outside of the
third and the ninth inning,
Brown had little trouble with
the Mohawks, striking out nine.
*, Joe Mitro, who relieved starter
Jack Fuller in the third, was
never in better form. Except for
the home run pitch he hurled to
•Lome Kleinstiver, he didn’t show
any weakness. Joe fanned 11 in
seven innings.
The Tigers scored their two
in the third inning with a trio
of hits. Jack Gaiser and Dick
Regier singled off Fuller and
Raymie Wein clouted a double
