The Wingham Advance-Times, 1947-10-23, Page 1e Single Copies--Vive Cents With Which is Amalgamated The Gorrie News and Wroxeter Vidette "11110101114••••=1., WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1947 Subscription, $2.00 .a Year in Advance Wingham chalked up their third con- necutive championship Saturday after- :noon at Walkerton when the Wing- ,hani Hurons edged the Southampton Fishermen 2-1 to win the Men's Senior A W.O.A.A. Softball Championship. Climaxing one of their best seasons-in .softball, the Hurons aided by the wea- thermah, came through to win the ,John W. Hanna trophy, and in all pro- bability, will cinch the Western Foun- dry Trophy for the grand champion, .ship, when they meet Linwood, win, nets of the "B" softball section this week. Saturday's affair was- a good one to win from a local standpoint, but a heartbreaker for the losers. /With the score tied at two all in the last half of the ninth, and the Hurons at bat, a .cloudburst suddenly descended, break- ing up one of the tightest ball games of the season, and incidently one of the best of this series. With neither mana- gers agreeing that the game must go nine complete innings or no game, the core naturally reverted back to the last ,complete inning which was the eighth. 'Considerable controversy arose with respect to the game, so the WO AA Executive, Managers, Umpires and protest committee met, with the result, the Hurons were duly justified in tak- ing the championship and the series, three games to two. One of the happiest members of the .Senior A Executive was the Hurons one and, only manager, Morris Bader, who was to a great extent responsible for this championship giving every- thing he had at all times to,promote a high calibre of sport and a champ- ionship team, this being his second year at the helm. Worthy mention should also be made of the President of the, club, 'Vic" Loughlean. Recre- ational Director Sam Burton and other who so willingly gave of their time and support. Stars were hard to choose in Sat- urday's crucial game as each player nave his best. Foster's brilliant field- ing certainly stood out, as a highlight, and be also added greatly to the win with three timely hits , Ward like- wise registered a brace of hits and scored both of the Wingliain runs. For Southampton, Brannick and J. Master- son stood out at the hat, with their outfield likewise turning in a good per- formance. "Tommy" Jardine, veteran of several campaigns, really was throw- ing them up and at all times appeared good particularly in the pinches, and registered one of the cleanest hits over third in the fifth. *Summary by Innings .
