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.

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 only; they' did not waste any time. an- alyzing characters, they merely re- lated their deeds >and left the judg= meat to their merits to the reader.
