Baseball Team Play
In Port Elgin Thursday

a breathing spell before tackling Port

The game will be played iri Port El
gin on Thursday and the locals must
win it to stay in the running for the
group honors.
11-INNING THRILLER
WON BY PORT ELGIN
Goar’s Relief Pitching Stops Hurons
Head of the league on Saturday, the
local ball team lost two decisions, one
via the committee room on Suhday
and one at the hands of the Port El
gin team on Monday to come precar
iously close to not even finishing in
a play-off spot, The Sunday decision
lost the Hurons the game they won
at Port a few days ago, when Al. Fin
layson was declared ineligible and the
game, thrown out. This will have to
be replayed and the fate of the Tribe
may hinge on this game.
As for Monday’s game, one of the
season’s best crowds witnessed eleven
innings of interesting if not good
baseball, the visitors winning the
game with two runs in the second ex
tra session that the locals could not
match. It was a heart-breaking loss
for the Braves who were never able
to get ahead of the Ports and only a
desperate three-run ninth-inning rally
enabled -them to send the game into
extra innings. Failure to connect with
men on base caused the Hurons’ fail
ure, along with some very costly er
rors, which enabled the visitors to
pile up an early lead.
But to a young left-hander, Ken
Goar, goes the laurel wreath for the
best performance in Monday’s game.
The kid was awful lucky when the
first two balls he threw were very
wild, but hit his Catcher to prevent
the winning run from walking in from
third, But Goar settled down and
struck out seven of the nine men to
face him in the last three innings and
did not allow the semblance of a hit.
The Lakesides grabbed a three-run
lead in the very first inning before
Peterson got settled down. Paddon
walked but was forced at second on
Lediet’s fine play on Sturgeon’s at
tempted sacrifice. Becker lined a dou
ble over the fence and scored behind
Sturgeon on Cottrill’s single to right,
Gray’s throw to the plate letting Cot
trill to second. A wild pich and R.
Paddon’s single scored Cottrill. Pad
don stole second while Locking was
being struck out. Kugler scratched an
infield hit but Dentinger struck out.
The Hurons opened their scoring
in the fifth, Rae walked and scored on
singles by Mellor and Gray. The lat
ter two were left stranded when Dor
an and Somers fanned and Lediet
grounded out. Two more in the sev
enth put the teams on even terms.
Both Mellor and Doran got on on
errors and moved to second and third
while Gray was striking out, a short
passed ball doing the trick. Somers
sacrificed scoring Mellor and Doran
scored when Sturgeon let fly a wild
pitch. Lediet again rolled out to end
the inning.
Two very costly misplays in the Sth
cost the Tribe the game, as it turned
out later. Kugler singled to start the
frame but was forced at second, Dor
an to Mellor. Peterson threw out
Kelleher, Dentinger advancing to sec.
ond. Tiffin let H, Paddon’s hard
smash go through his legs and when
Gray hesitated throwing the ball in
Dentinger scored. The Ports added
two more in the ninth to get what
looked like a commanding lead. Bec
ker singled and stole second and mov
ed up while Chalmers was tossing out
Cottrill. Paddon scratched a hit to
third and Becker scored on the throw
to first. Paddon took second on Dor-
