Messrs Jones & May had Itin.dly donated the space in one of their large show windows and Mr. G. S. Howard, the vice-president of the society was in charge.

The first time up Exeter secured a good lead when they chalked up four runs. They'nnaintained the leadall through the . game although Zurich crowded them close in the seventh when the score stood 6 to 5. Zurich went to bat first with L. Tiernan doing mound duty for Exeter, they scored one run. When the Exeter players came to bat they connected freely with Lennis• O'Brien. Two runs crossed the plate when Tiernan bat- ted a homer scorng Lawson ahead of him. ''In the second innings Zurich went out three in succession. Exeter batted three singles and scored one run. With One down the bases were full but the . runners died there. In the third Zurich secured a single. Tieman . for Ex- eter made a three -base -hit and scored on a two -base -hit by Ander- son.. In the fourth Tiernan walked one and had two strike -outs. In the fifth Zurich got a two -base hit and a walk and scored one run on an er- ror. In the first of the 6th Tieman had three strike -outs. In the first of the 7th the first hatter for Zurich walked and . the bases were filled with one down. A hit brought in two runs which brought the 'Zurich rooters to their feet. Another runner stole home bringing the score to 6- 5. When the Exeter team went to bat dusk was settling and they con- nected freely with O'Brien,,o�nd score' ed five runs. LeRoyO'ffrien was umpire at the plate and Harp Riv- ers the bases. The Exeter team will go to Zurich Friday evening to play a league game. FANS WANT BALL PARK .AT - FAIR GROUNDS The present season has proved the inadequacy of the schoolplay- ground as a baseball park and the fans are suggesting the creation of a ball park in front of the grand- stand at the Agricultural grounds. The fair grounds are admirably ad- apted for baseball and with very little expense could be put into ex- cellent shape. By placing ° home plate in front of the grandstand a splendid diamond could be made. The judges' stand could be mount- ed on skids to be replaced when re- quired. There is more ground than is required so that the players wotild not be hampered by trees or fences and there would be excellent parking dace for ears. One of the things Exeter needs most is a stand for the spectators as possibly Ex- eter is not as well equipped for ac- commodation as any other place:: in the league, The grandstand would meet this need admirably. Another drawback to the school grounds is the fact that being surrounded by trees dusk settles in earlier and cuts - the game short. Local News Mr, W. Hamblyn has rented Mr J. W.
