Exeter practically landed the pen -
ant for league honors Monday night
when they defeated Zurich 11 to 5
in a postponed game. 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.

High-priced foods that under -
