The entire Wingham squad seemed
more than a little off balance during
the bout with five errors officially
credited. Predictions are that the re-
turn game, when the Lucknow team
visits Wingham Thursday night of
this week, will be one of the hottest
of the season. Each of the teams
have lost two games since the open-
ing of the season, while Lucknow, has
ten wins to Wingham's eight.

"The combined effect of the two
major factors—increased wage costs
