DO COUNTRY BOYS GET
SQUARE DEAL IN SEAFORTH
Editor The Seaforth News,
I think ,the town of Seaforth and
the public ought to be made acquaint-
ed with the way that the Soft Ball
League tor the younger boys is being
conducted.
' Last summer the boys were organ-
ized into hall teams for the purpose of
a little fun and relaxation. The coun-
try boys formed a team under the
name of "Brucefleld." Many of these
boys work on Perms and drive ten or
twelve miles to the ball games which
have to be played in Seaforth. Twice
these boys went out to play the
"Sally Anns" only to find the Sally
Anus on the streets of Seaforth but
the genies were not played. Brucefleld
should have been notified not to come,
don't you think ?
Theo came the games with the
"Tigers". Iii the first game Brucefleld
and the Tigers were tied. In the next
game Brucefleld were the winners.
Then 'the third game was played.
Three of the Brucefleld team were late
arriving because they were held up by
a freight train at Seaforth. At the end
of 4 innings Brucefleld was four runs
ahead and were up to bat when the
game was stopped and the Tigers
refused to take the field although
other games had been played when it
was mach darker. Brucefleld boys of-
fered to pay forthe floodlights to
finish the game but that was refused.
The decision was given' to the Tigers,
When Brucefleld went into the play
offs they were read the rules that they
must play nine inning- and that noth-
ing less than seven innings would be
called a game,
Brucefleld hone game was played
in Hensall under the floodlights and
the correct score which was Bruce -
field 39, Seaforth Sally Anne 24 was
not published, Brucefleld then went to
Seaforth to play the return game with
the Sally Anns. At the end of 51/ inn-
ings, when it was again too dark to
play, Brucefleld were the winners.
The Sally Auns were declared the
winners because they were ahead at
the end of 5 innings,
Now these Brucefleld boys go to
Seaforth to play. They have no coach,
very often not an adult with therm.
The umpires are from Seaforth. They
are forced to trust Seaforth and they
are beginning to wonder if Seaforth
is proving worthy of that trust, It
seems that the darkness is quite an
ally for the Seaforth teams.
What are the floodlights in Seaforth
for ?
This unfairness to boys who are not
asking favors but who expect fair play
will be a shook to many of 'the people
of Seaforth for they know that these
boys are the amen of tomorrow, and if
they do not get a square deal in a
little thing like a ball game they will
likely do business in a town that
proves more worthy.
The next genie is set for Friday
night. The Sally Anns refuse to start
the game at 4.30. Could it be they are
afraid to play the genre to the finish.
'It might not get dark soon enough.
But perhaps another new set of rules
ran be dug up for a case like that.
Play up, play up, ancl.pla3 the game.
1 am a lover of
".FAIR PLAY"
