' 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" iippeu, September 20th."
