WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 19Th, 1930
PERFECT BASEBALL DIAMOND AT PARK
—THE SOFT ,BALL SCHEDULE PROCEEDS
The 'Wingham Athletic Association
were fortunate in securing the super-
visory ' services of that Seasoned
sports veteran, Herb. Campbell, to
take charge of putting the ball, dia-
mond in good shape, Herb had a
thorough job made of it with the re-
sult that soft ball will be faster and
hard ball both faster and safer.
Thanks, Herb!
While the work of skinning the dia-
mond was proceeding„ two games of
soft ball were postponed. The sched-
ule is now under way again and the
games will be played regularly, :wea-
ther permitting,
The loss of their first game by the
Shell Gas team did not worry them
and. they met "Our Gang" on Thurs-
day evening last with a determina-
tion to win.
The game was well played by both
teams and spectators were well sat-
isfied with the brand of ball sup-
plied. Bill Brawiey, Jr., _joined the
Home Run Club via the heavy hit-
ting course. The determination of the
Shell Gas nine produced results,, the
game ending 16-7 in their favor.
On Friday night the Fry-Gumas
met the Foundry to play a postponed
game. The Foundry team haveal-
ways beenconsidered strong contend-
ers for the title and Frank Preston,
manager of the Fry-Gunns, was more
than a little perturbed when he found
he was going to be short some of
his regular players. Walter,- VanWyck
has a weak ankle which has tempor-
arily forced him from the game and
some of the other players were out
of town. Rather than allow -the
schedule to be further delayed: the
Fry-Gunns used their substitutes, and
in a game fight took the count at the
hands of their rivals. The score was
20-14. Home runs of the game were
made by Harold Mitchell for the Fry -
Ganes and Orval : Welsh for, the
Foundry.
Shell Gas seems to have lost some
of its power lately, on Monday even-
ing they 'met the Foundry nine and
came out on the short end of a 10-4
score. Owing to a light rain during
the afternoon the . playing field was
damp, making the ball .slippery and
hard to handle: The crowd was not
as large as at former games, but those
who were there witnessed a real' good
game.
The standing of the teams is as fol-
lows.
Won. Lost
Foundry 2 0
Fry-Gunns 1 1
