On Friday evening, at the Recrea- tion grounds the Lucan Girls' soft- ball team, defeated the Seaforth nine by a considerable margin. The Lucan team played a good game, and led in the scoring from start to finish. The Seaforth team was only recently orgauized but turn- ed in a good account of themselves in their first home game. A little more practise and control will take them some place. The shortstop, left fielder and first baseman were the best on the Seaforth team in this game but the others with a little more experience will be just as good. 'Shorty" on the Lucan team was the home -run queen of the ball game; almost every time she came to bat she bit a home run.
