Nine Hurons went down swinging while two drew walks, Ken Somers, with three. Bob Grov­ es and Bob Chalmers with two hits each, the latter’s being two doubles, led the Tribe’s attack, Groves’ homer rolled well out into the bowling-green and was a real blast. The visitors were inclined to argue on this blow, claiming it should have been held to two bases. Wonder how far you have to hit a ball for a home-run in .this league? The Tribe took a three-run lead in the fourth and were never headed. Fred Mellor dropped a single in centre and Groves followed with his homer. James drew four straight balls and Chalmers moved him around to third with a double. James and Cooke then worked a squeeze-play, Roy scoring on Jack’s perfect bunt. The Braves added another in the fifth and should have made it two more. Smith blasted a mammoth dou­ ble to open and then Somers beat out a -bunt but Bart went into a' daze and was picked off third. Ken stole sec­ ond and eventually scored on a sharp single by Groves. Southampton’s pair of tallies rattled across in the seventh. Kugler opened with a Texas League single to centre and McKay filed to Cooke. Laing sliced one to right for two bases and Kugler scored on Becker’s roller to Smith which the latter elected to throyr to. th? plate with no result. Laing scored while James was throw­ ing oiif Brtfwri and Garvey popped to end It. K W. KEMP, Listowel—Monuments an-d Monumental Work. 109 monu­ ments from which to choose. Auc­ tion Sales conducted.

HURONS EVEN PLAY-OFF SERIES Win Second Game From Southamp­ ton 4-2. The Wingham Hurons had one of those rare days when they looked like something resembling a ball team when the#' played Southampton at the Baric here Saturday and won “the sec­ ond game of their cdtrent series with Southampton 4-2. The Fishermen won the opetnr 4-3. A good crowd watched the Hurons cut their error output down to a single miscue and Step Up their hit production to ten, it being the first time the Tribe had rea­ ched he double-figure mark for quite gome time. The Fishermen played er­ rorless ball to make it a well-played game. A three-tun rally in the fourth, featured by a home-run by Bob Grew* won the game for the locals. Diz. Garvey worked on the mound for South, while Bob Bridgeford seal* ed the peak for-the Hurons. Bob had quite an edge on his rival, allowing only three hits, two of which came in the seventh, fanned eleven and walked Johnston, If ....- Piper, lb........— Brannick, 3b ......

Huffy Harris, of Ripley, was com­ plete master of the situation, striking out eleven of the lakesiders and scat­ tering nine hits. Young, for Goderich, was hit hard and the nine hits from his offerings were bunched along with three errors by his team mates. The longest hit of the game was a three-base blow by the Goderich hurl- er, but his mates failed to hit against the graduate of the London baseball school, Huffy Harris, who has a re­ markable record in his first year as a junior, having ,an average of 11.9 strikeouts during the season and al­ lowing an average of only 4.1 hits a game. Included in his record is a no­ hit game against..Kincardine, a single hit ’game against Goderich and two three-hit affairs. His strikeout aver­ age is 1.7 per inning. The nine hits Harris allowed Mon­ day w’as the most the left-hander has permitted in any league contest this season.

Southampton Fishermen won the opening game of the semi-final Bruce League series at Southampton last Wednesday. The final score was 4-3, a three-run rally by Wingham in the eighth not being enough to get the Tribe back in the running. Despite the fact that the Hurons had about their strongest possible combination on the field, the club still looked far from good especially at the’ plate where they were again handcuffed by Ken Goar, who they ought to be able to hit blind-folded by this time. The gate receipts totalled a magnificent $15,00. Bob Bridgeford worked for the Hurons and while several of the Fish­ ermen’s hits were tainted, still Bob didn’t have his usual cunning, The lanky right-hander yielded five bases on Bails and hit one while fanning ten, Goar Fanned ten Tribesmen ad walk* ed a pair, The fielding feature was Brown’s catch of Borners* drive to . deep, left-centre field.
