tSEAFiO,RTIH WFNIS F'I'RST GAME
•
an the first game of the Huron
5'o.ftbadl League play-offs ,Friday ev-
ening, the home team took the long
.end of a free -hitting ,game from the
visiting Goderich team by a score of
120-43. Owing bo the delay of the Go-
derich squad an arriving the game did
not get under way un!t!'1 well after, six
o'.clodk, with the result that the game
'was called at the end of the ,seventh
Inning, the last 'two frames being
played in semi-darleness When the ball
was hard to see.
For the first two innings it looked
as though Goderich would''be badly
beaten, as 5'eafonth counted f'aur:runs
in the first and three in the second
and at the same time held the visitors
away from the plate. Goderich came
:back with three in their half of the
third, while Seafanth drew a blank.
The order was reversed as Goderich
!Failed to dent the run column and Sea=
• 'forth added four more, making the
count 10-3 in their favor.
(Goderich had their big innings in
the fifth when they registered six
run's, and Sieaforth came back with
'four. Adding three more i'n the 'sixth
Goderich drew up within three rut's
of tying the score, but they saw their
hopes vanish when the homes'ters
went to bat as they :realied with five,
leaving the score at the end of the
sixth 2042 in favor of Seaforth. Go-
ing to bat in the seventh, Goderich
again broke into the scoring column
with one run but that was the best
they could do. That ended the scoring
and also the game as Seafanth did not
take their last turn at bat being well
ahead.
:Ilad the gauge not been a play-off
and had the rules not called for at
least six and a half innings before it
could he counted as a ftill game the
tussle would have been called fifteen
minutes earlier, as it was entirely too
dark for the players to provide the
brand of soIliball of which they are
capable.
IP. Shearrlown led the Goderich bat-
ters -with four hits out a•f es many
times at bat, ,while Phalen was next
with three out of four. M•dCawlley was
the batting star of the'eveuipg with
five hits out of five times at bat. i.e
also scared four runs land turned in an
errorless game at short-stop. Muir at
second 'base for Seaforth, pulled ,off
the feature of the day when he spear-
ed a Incfdrive over second with one
hand and alan'ost sudeeded in doubling
the runner at second.
'Cud,more, Wright and E. Rennie
were the winning battery, while 'M'c-
!D'onald, Anther and, P. 'Sheardown
were for Goderich.

Nearly 600 years before Columbus,
Leif Ericson made a monumental voy-
age over the Atlantic Ocean, landed in
Iceland, and called it Vinland. Now,
through the interest in the achieve-
ments of the great Norse discoverer,
taken by Icelanders, the Congress of
the United States' has ,present the tGov-
ernment Of Iceland with a bronze sta-
tue in memory of Ericson. It is now
completed, the work'of the eminent
American sculptor, Mr. A. 'Stirling
Calder, and will be formally dedicated`
in Iceland next month.
In the year 1,000 A. D., after a
stormy pass'a'ge over unknown seas,
Ericson and hiss men landed on the
shores of what appeared to them to
be a land of plenty, and they pro-
ceeded in a practical way to utilize ,the
renounces at hand. And' from its pro-
ducts Leif gave the land a name and
called it Vinland, according to the .Ice-
landic sagas. Extensive documentary
praolf of Ericson's 'landing is to be
found in the records in the VdItic'an at
Rome.
The statue represents Leif Ericson
as' a heroic figure, ,standing on .a 'pedes-
tal that in shaped like a Viking ship.
The pedestal; weighing 40 tons, is out
of Texas,marb'le, cut in Battlebro,
and it has already been placed on 'a
site in the Icelandic capital, Reyk-
javik, overlooking the city,' The sta-
tue and the pedestal rise to a height
of 25 feet and they present a unified
design, with the mann interest centred
in the figure.
The writers of the Icelandic sagas
were past masters in literary_ e,con
