HURONS WON
AT TEESWATER
Tribe on the Right End of a 10 - 4
Score.
On Tuesday afternoon at Teeswat
er the’ local ball club won an easy
victory over the Teesers to the tune
of 10-4. Teeswater have a fine hitting
bunch of youngsters and if they had
a good pitching staff, would be dang
erous. The game was a long drawn
out listless affair, brightened in spots
by some good hitting and some ex
citement when Umpire McCrea clear
ed the Teeswater bench after a verbal
barrage had been sent his way.
The youthful Hyslop started on the
mound for Teeswater but with errors
and what-not he was in trouble in the
first inning when three runs crossed
the plate. The Hurons went further
into the lead in the 3rd when they
gathered in two more. Hyslop gave
up the ghost in this inning, Blair tak
ing o^pr. Teeswater in their half,
scored two and Chalmers, who pitch
ed this far, withdrew in favor of Pet
erson. The local tribe grabbed a run
in each of 4th and 5th inning and in
the eighth increased their lead by an
other 3. In this inning Jack Goetz
replaced Blair. Teeswater rallied in
the eighth to score twice. The ninth
was Scoreless with Jack Colvin doing
the honours on the mound for the
HuronS,
Thompson who started for Tees
water at short, was hit by a fast
grotthder tn the third and had to re
tire, and Gordy Irwin was spiked in
the eighth but continued after a dab
of iodine.

TOWN LEAGUE
con-
Lloyds 11 - Merkleys 5
Thursday’s game in the Town Lea
gue went to Lloyd’s when they won
from Merkleys by 11 to 5. The first
innings was a bad one from Merkley’s
standpoint as the Doormakers gath
ered six runs in this inning. Lee, who
did the pitching for the Garagemen
received, very poor support in this
frame and Lloyds hit the ball fairly
hard. Both teams crossed the plate
four times in the second. Lloyds add
ed another to their total in the third
and Merkleys scored another in the
fifth. Small pitched a good game for
Lloyd’s but his support was better
than that received by Lee.
Lloyd’s.......................... 641 00—11
Merkley’s .................... 040 01—5
Cubs 14 - Lloyds 11
In a seven-inning game on Satur
day afternoon the Cubs came out on
top 14 to 11 over Lloyds. Up to the
fifth it looked as if the Doormakers
were in for a win, for at the end, of
the first half of the fifth they were
leading 10 to 5. The Cubs came to
life, in their half of this inning and
scored 6 runs to take a 1-run lead.
They increased their lead by 3 more
in the sixth and the best the Wood
workers could do in the seventh was
one run, so the Cubs chalked up a
14-11 win. Angus pitched for the Cubs
with 11 Mitchell behind the plate. Bill
Groves hurled for Lloyds with Harry
Posliff doing the receiving.
At the Town League games a silver
collection is taken to help buy balls
and other necessary equipment. So
far these collections have been very
small and. as so far expenses have not
been made, it is hoped that the Town
League fans will “loosen up" a bit
