NO,RMAN'S "Counter's . for Finer Jewellery for. over Half a Century in Huron County" THE HOME PAPER Juveniles Win Huron -Perth Baseball Championship By defeating Exeter here Saturday by the narrow margin ' of one run, 10-9, Clinton Juveniles captured the Huron -Perth title and will 'advance to the O.B.A. play -down series. Exeter took the secondgame of the best two in three on their own diamond on Friday, knotting the series. As previously arranged, they came here forthe tie-breaker, and the game was billed to start at 1 o'clock. The locals almost lost the game in the visitors' second inning when they scored seven runs. Five errors in fielding and 'three two -base hits with the big tally results was the story of the disastrous second. Before the inning was over, man- ager H. Hawkins waved Cook and gave his mound chore to Harry Me - Ewan who took over with one batter out. He was touched for a double by the first batter and struck out the next. With the score 8-0 against them, the locals went in for the second and touched Moore for two singles off C'oiquhoun's, and Powell's bats, the former scoring,' They were never in. difficulty during the remainder of the game and great credit is due to (Coonie) McEwan for handling a job he had little experience in. The locals gradually overcame their big deficit and forged ahead in the seventh. Powell, Counter and Sehoenhals each hit doubles the for- mer repeating. Cook struck out one batter, McEwan six. Moore struck out four and Fahner four. The players were: ��,�.[� Exeter: Nichol 2b; 1R6:Fie, Fahner p; Hicks cf; B. Kestle If; J. Kestle rf; W. Fahner 3.b; Motz c; Morlock lb; Kleinstiver ss.
