AMAZING RALLIES
BEATKINCARDINE
^Locals Stage Garrison Finish To
Overcome Huge Lead,
Staging an uphill fight to overcome
•what looked like insurmountable
handicaps, the local ball team defeat
ed Kincardine in the town park Sat
urday. The final score was 14-13, but
as late as the fifth inning the locals
were behind 7-0 and the end of the
first half of the seventh saw the Hur
ons still behind 13-6. Five runs in the
seventh and three more in the eighth
pushed the Hurons over the top of
the .500 mark for the first time this
year. Terrific hitting splurges were
the order of the day for both clubs as
a good crowd watched in bewilder
ment, wondering what would happen
next. While the fielding was 'hardly
brilliant by either club, the terrific
barrage set up by both clubs at the
plate more than atoned for the lack
of brilliant plays.
One of the afore-mentioned, lapses
came in the first inning whenn Lang
don, fine short-stop of the visitors,
singling after two were out, went all
the way around when Lediet threw
the ball into the outlying precincts
trying to catch him stealing second.
The visitors batted around in the sec
ond and added six runs. The main
features of this outburst were a dou
ble by Bell and a wind-blown homer
by Langdon with the bases loaded.
The Braves pulled up close them
selves with six in the fourth. Somers
drew a pass to open the inning and
stole second. Doran drove a single
past third, Somers stopping at third.
Dick took second unmolested as Gray
was fanning. Lediet drew a pass to
fill the bases and Mellor crossed the.
opposition by laying down a perfect
bunt to score Somers and when Cox
threw the ball past the catcher Doran
scored and the other runners advanc
ed a base. Tiffin dropped a single
back of the drawn up infield to score
■Lediet and Mellor, Cummings’ double
moved Bill to third and both scored
when Rae lined a double over the
creamery fence. Cox then picked Rae
off second to end the inning.
Kincardine added another in the
fifth on two singles and a hit bats
man, the latter scoring. To all in
tents and purposes they won the game
with five more in the seventh. Pol
lard drew a pass but was forced at
second by Langdon who then stole
second and scored on Bob Thomp
son’s single. Morgan and Anderson
also singled to score Thompson and
when Bell’s liner went over Rae’s
head to the wire screen around the
girl’s softball diamond, everybody
scored when the ball went under the
wire, leaving Rae stranded behind 15
feet of screen. Here Cummings and
aeterson switched battery jobs and
;Hal proceeded to fan Cox and Edmis
ton to end Kincardine’s scoring for
;the day.
The Hurons added five on their
..own account in the same frame. Cum-
mings flied out to open the inning but
Rae lined a single to centre, the ball
nearly decapitating Cox on the way
out. Somers, in the throes of a slump,
popped a fly to short right for two
away. Doran lined a single to the
same Territory moving Rae to third.
Dick took second unmolested and
scored behind Rae when Gray drove
a double over the fence, just inside
the home-run marker. Chalmers bat
ted for Lediet and drew a pass. Mel-
,lor then lined a triple to left, Edmis
ton playing the ball badly. At this
point Cox was lifted and Tom Pol
lard went to the mound only to be
greeted by a rousing single to left by
Tiffin. Peterson grounded out to end
the inning.
The Indians won the game in the
eighth, which seems to be a lucky
inning for the Tribe lately. Cum
mings got a life when Langdon kick
ed his roller around. Rae cracked one
over the fence to move Hugh to third,
but with Doran at bat, Ander
son let a low one get by, Cummings
scoring and Rae going to third, Dick
finally walked and for the third time
went to second without drawing a
throw. Gray then won the game with
a smashing single to centre, both run
ners scoring. Chalmers then hit a
double-play ball, Langdon to Riggin,
ending all scoring for the day. Al
though the visitors had men on sec
ond and third in the ninth, Pete shut
out this rally by striking out the side,
including Manager Thompson for the
final out.
Rae and Anderson took down the
hitting honours with four safeties
each, while Fred Mellor had thre.e and
also fielded well. Bell also had him
self a trio.

Tavistock Cheese Factory
Destroyed
The main part of the Tavistock
Cheese and Butter Manufacturing Co.
Ltd., nine miles southeast of Strat
ford, was destroyed by fire Saturday
night, causing a loss estimated at
$15,000, of which $6,500 was covered
by insurance. The blaze is thought
to have originated in the boiler room.

Amusing But Serious
Amusing to onlookers but a matter
of serious consequence to the victim
was an unusual incident at the harbor
on Wednesday, The warm weather
attracted many to the waterfront,
young and old, and the oldsters were
enjoying themselves as much as the
youngsters, but one overestimated his
ability to '“take it.” Without so much
as even dipping in his toe to test the
water temperature our hero took a
running dive in the deep water. The
shock as he struck the cooling depths
made him gasp. He gaged, choked,
and as he came to the surface cough
ed out the water—and his upper plate.
It was useless to drag for the missing
molars, so the victim made a trip to
Toronto for a replacement, meanwhile
reflecting that perhaps he wasn’t as
young as he used to be. — Goderich
Signal-Star.

Had Fingers Amputated
A transient, giving his name as
Frank Browning, was taken to the
Walkerton hospital from Carrick, on
Monday morning of last week, suffer
ing with a badly injured right hand.
Browning, it seems, had accepted
work for a time on the farm of Mr.
Spielmacher, and while assisting in
unloading hay in the barn he lost his
balance and in the fall his fingers
became entangled in the hay fork
rope, with the result that the digits
were so torn a,pd lacerated that a trip
to the hospital was advised. A doctor
found it necessary to amputate part
of the little finger and also part of
the ring finger.—Hanover Post.

Fishing Poor
The commercial fishing industry,
one of major importance here, hasn’t
been any too successful this season,
in fact, catches have been so light
these past, few weeks that some of the
operators are considering a tempor

been good for a- few years but this
season it has been so far below aver
age that some operators have barely
made expenses.—Southampton Beac

Forrest Dredging Company, are ready
to'Start on the $86,000 dredging con
tract recently awarded for improve
ment of Goderich Harbor. Work, in
fact, was commenced at >5 o’clock oti
Thursday afternoon, when, taking
cognizance of the age-old sailors’ sup-
erstition not to start on Friday, one
scoopful was taken from the bottom
of the harbor and deposited in the
scow alongside. The dredge crew
seemed to feel relieved after that op
eration. The Carey will work on the
steamer channel 300 yards outside the
gap of the breakwater, where several
big grain freighters, heavily laden,
scraped their bottoms last season.
The dredge will operate twelve hours

down to rock, necessitating blasting.

HUGHES’ SHIP COMES IN
to
I ... .........................A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems
Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada
LETTER NO. 13
Dear Editor; .
In response to your letter, I should
like to say that the officers of the
Canadian National Railways are al
ways conscious of thd1 important part
the weekly newspapers play in Can
adian affairs and that we fully appre
ciate the keen interest the members
of your association take in the wel
fare of the National Railways Sys
tem. We have noticed with satisfac
tion that you have extended this to
Canada’s liewest enterprise, the
Trans-Canada Air Lines.
I hope that the’weekly newspapers
wilt continue-their valuable work of
fostering a spirit of unity throughout
the Dominion and encouraging Can
adians to work for steady improve
ment in conditions by avoiding use
less controversies which can only tend
to retard the nation’s progress. Above
all, I hope you will carry on your dis
couragement of those pessimists who
seem to have no other contribution to
make than the forecast of disaster.
The things to be advocated today, it
seems to me, are the avoidance of
anything which might cause section
al, racial of any other form of strife,
and the positive qualities of sane op
timism and hard work. These, I
think you will agree, are Canadian
characteristics. It is not enough to
recognize them and be proud of them;
S. J. HUNGERFORD
we must maintain and extend them.
With kind regards and all good
wishes to your membership and
yourself, I am,
Yours faithfully,
S. J. HUNGERFORD,
Chairman and President,
Canadian National Railways.
