On. Friday evening last the Thames Road team visited Exeter but the locals proved too much for them. Iu the first innings Thos. Heywood knocked out a home run when he batted the ball over the fence. Exeter worked out a new battery that proved a pleasant surprise. The battery were Lorne Tiernan and B. Medd and they turn- ed in ,a good game. Exeter scored three runs the firt innings and the game ended 6-1. The Thames Rd: battery was Heywood, Stire and Heywood. The game at Thames Road Mon- day evening was close and exciting. Exeter won in the last innings on a sensational finish. With the score 3-3 and with two men out Tupper Anderson hammered out a double with two men on bases. Lawson an& Medd also got doubles in quick rotation following Anderson's great hit. Thames Road scored a lone run in -the final innings and the game ended 7 to 4. The battery: Thames Road, Shire, Brown and Heywood. Exeter, Lawson and Medd. The fans are looking forward to a good game next Monday when Ex- eter meets Hensall. Hensall de- feated Exeter in a fast game and the locals are out to redeem themselves. This game will no doubt draw a large crowd. EENSAT,T, DEFEATS CREDITON 3-1 AT HENSALL On Monday evening last a good crowd turned out to see Creditan beaten at Hensall 3 to 1. The play- ing field was a trifle wet on account of the rain previous to the game but that did not hinder the game from being real fast, the nine in- nings being played in 70 minutes. Motz hurled for the visitors and turned in a fair game, although touched up freely at times while Beeswax did mound "duty for the Hensall nine and kept the Crediton sluggers' hits scattered, most of their clouts being neatly fielded, with few errors. The game was clean and fast and the spectators went away well pleased. Batteries—for Cred- iton, Motz and Fahner; for Hensall, Beeswax and Hedden. Umpires— Young and Brintnell. After the game an especially well presented play "Are You a Mason" was given in the town hall by the Crediton Young People. This play was of a first class order and greatly pleas- ed the appreciative audience. We understand the troupe was invited to repeat this performence in the near future. The box of chocolates given the holder of the lucky admission ticket was won by Miss Flora Hig- gins. REEDER—HOULDEN An interesting wedding was sol- emnized at the James St. parsonage on the 22nd of May when,,Miss Ethel M. Houlden, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos.
