FOREST SIXTH WINGHAM VICTIM Errors Plentiful As Hurons Win 15-8 The Wingham Hurons breezed to their sixth straight Bruce League vic­ tory at Mount Forest Wednesday when they defeated the home club 15- 8 in a loosely p'layed ball game. The ball park was in very poor condition which did not inspire much confidence in the fieiders and as a consequence plenty of errors were chalked up and many more given doubtful hits be­ cause of bad bounces, etc. It was also •the Hurons’ first taste of home and home umpires for a long time and here’s hoping it will be even longer before they run into them again. It just doesn’t work. A fair crowd saw the Indians score' one run in the first and the home club never came within hailing distance af­ ter that. Bob Chalmers chalked up his fourth win of the year, all away from Jiome' games, and while he was hit freely, as usual he had what it takes when the going got tough. Lawrence, a left-hander, started on the mound for ,Mt. Forest but proved no mystery to the Tribe and Lamp­ man, his successor, was a little too wild to be very effective.' Bill Tiffin, playing left field for per­ haps the first time in his life, led the Huron batters with three safe blows. Gray’s triple was the longest blow of the day, but Lediet and Doran each hit long doubles. McLuhan had four hits for the home club. Fielding feat­ rues were conspicuous by their ab­ sence.

The great Huron Juggernaut rolled over a game little Teeswater nine at the Wingham Town Park Saturday as it chalked up the seventh consecutive victory of the current Bruce League campaign. The final score was 6-3 and only a bad spell in the ninth inn­ ing marred the Indians’ play, two un­ earned runs rolling across on some bad throws. Outside of this lapse the fairly large crowd" saw a pretty neat little game with some great baseball by the Tribe’s inner works featuring. Lediet, Smith and Mellor paired up for two timely, rally-dampening dou­ ble-plays that were nice to see. Joe Tiffin and Elliott Carruthers were the starting pitchers but only Joe was around at the finish. The big sorrel-top let the Teesers down with only three very scattered hits and HYDRO LAMPS U The Lon# Life Lamps while he only struck out two, was sel­ dom in trouble. It was Tiffin's third win of the season. Carruthers pitch­ ed nice ball for the visitors, allowing only seven hits but several of these were of the opportune nature. Doran and Chalmers led the hitters with two each, Bob’s being a pair of doubles, Wylie also belted a long two-baser for Teeswater, Two errors and a walk filled the bases for the Hurons in the first and Doran singled to centre on the first pitch to score two, Carruthers stop­ ped the next, three batters cold, Tees- water scored one in the second, Wy­ lie drawing a pass and stopping at se­ cond on Irv, Hyslop's single. Hughes forced Bing at third and was prompt­ ly forced out at second himself by Goetz, Mellor to Smith," Trying for a double-play, Bart fired the ball far over Doran’s head, Hyslop scoring-. A single by Mellor, Smith’s sacri­ fice and a two-ply drive by Doran added one in the fifth for Wingham and one more resulted from a walk, an error and one of Chalmers’ doubles in the next frame. The Huron finish­ ed their scoring with two in the sev­ enth. Groves drew a pass to start with and startled everybody in the park with a neat steal of second base. Doran flied long and high to Hughes but Lediet, after busting a bat on a foul ball, lifted a single to left to score Groves. Pollard erred on Miller’s easy roller and both runners were safe. Gray singled to left scoring Lediet and both runners _ advanced when Hughes threw badly to the plate. Chalmers and Tiffin popped to end the rally. A walk, a hit batsman, two stolen bases and two wild heaves into centre field netted the Teesers their final two runs in the ninth and proved somewhat of a poor climax to an oth­ erwise fine display by the Hurons. 7-Up! The shooting victim was Joy Stanley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Reyington Stanley, of Lucan, who celebrated her fifth birthday while in hospital and who is now at her home with her low­ er limb partially paralyzed as a result of the wound, The shooting took pluce on May 26.

Date Set for Plowing Match Tuesday, set by the Association this Fall. October 17th, is- the date South Bruce Plowman's for their annual match Lynx Seen Near Owen. Sound Going for the cows on the farm of A, J. Hunter, 10th, line of Sydenham, R.R. No. 6, Owen Sound, Norman Ot­ ter claims to have seen a lynx. Otter was walking through the grain field, when he saw the animal sitting on a stone pile within fifty feet of himself and about 40 rods from the house. He described the animal as being about five feet in length, light brown or grey with black spot on one hip. A short time ago the telephone rang in the Baltimore. operations office of Pan-American Airways. The' time was * 4.30 a.m. The question probably was the strangest telephone query ever an­ swered. “How long do you have to boil a “three minute egg”?” asked the stew­ ard of the 78-passenger “Clipper”, then making a test flight across the Atlantic. “Three minutes, of course”, was the answer. *' In response to a query as to what was the idea of telephoning from mid­ Atlantic at that early hour, the stew­ ard amplified his question by explain­ ing that the Clipper was then nearing the Azores. “We are flying at 8,100 feet — and water boils at lower temperatures as the altitude increases, but I don’t know how much.” Baltimore made some enquiries and in a few minutes, rang up the big plane with the information that a “3- minute” egg must be boiled for 12^ minutes at 8,100 feet.
