• THE SOFT BALL GAME
Former Wingbarn Boy is President of
Toronto School League
With the increasing growth of our
cities came the problem of large
enough grounds for recreation and
for the playing of the conventional
games. Land became so valuable
that it was found uecessary to devise
some game with ,the poptila.rity
and similarity to, baseball that could
be played ia a mach smaller space.
Baseball was so popular in the sum-
mer months that Indoor Ball fashiOn-
ed after the "Hard Ball" game but
played with a larger and softer ball
was devised for indoor sperts for the
winter. Naturally the indoor playing
space was limited even in clubs and
gymnasiums so the game rules and
playing ground was adopted to suit.
the space.
'Indoor Ball was a lively game and
it needed little imagination to see this
game transferred to the outdoor play
ganunds and smaller parks where it
became known as Soft Ball.
The war gave the game a great im-
petus as the only equipment required
is a ball and bat and ,amateur players
who would hesitate to take a hand in
hard ball find soft amusing, entertain-
ing and a splendid exercise. .
Since the war Soft Ball has swept
like a cyclone throughout all the big
cities of Canada and the States. In
Toronto public achobls there are some
four hundred teams playing in or-
ganized leagues. The President of
Association handling these games is
a former welt known Wingham boy,
Earl. John. But aot only among
schools has the game progressed, Fac-
tories, Banks, Retailers, Wholesalers
and men of every walk of life have
found the game of Soft Ball to cm -
rain a great deal of fun -either to
watch or in which to take part.
• Wingham Not'Behlad
Winghaan's first soft ball league
was formed this spring with five lo-
cal teams taking 'part, namely: The
Western Foundry, Lloyds & Gurneys.
The Clerks, Fry & Blackhall, Gunn
San Olas and the Lions. Several
games have been played and many
fans declare these games to be the
most enjoyable, amusing and enter-
taining sport witnessed in many years,
Naturally many novices at the game
tend to make some amusing mistakes
but- the teams, are developing and in
the latter games have shown good
form. -• , .
The next game takes place at 6.30
p. m. Friday June 13th, between the
Clerks and. the Fry-Gum-01as. These
,two teams have not rnet before and
both are anxious to win. Regular
fans predict a lively game and expect
the winner will fight a hard battle- for
the 'laurels.
There is Ito achhission. at these
games. The hat is passed for a loose
collection which goes.to support the
hard and saft. ball organizations.
People' of Wingham and surround-
ings, whit have not been witnessing
her soft ballagames will find a pleas-
ant hours recaeation by attending.
This 'is wholesome sport among our
own home boys". Let us give it our
hearty attapart.'

BASEBALL NOTES
Huron League
June 4th., Goderich 8, 'Wingham 4,
Juae 6th., Goderich '9, Wingham 6,
Last week Wingham considerably
distanced herself from precedent,
Losing tsyo games in succession, by
almost overwhelming odds she per-
petrated a get -a -way which if net ex-
actly humiliating, was exceedingly
distressing.
• Over thes milk so copiously spilt in
her first two games of the season,
however, we refuse to cry; perhaps
our grief lies too deep- for tears. We
think of the hackneyed phrase "de-
feated but not disgraced", and we ap-
ply it resolutely to Our remodelled
team
It must indeed be remembered that
we started this season engagements
under a severe handicap,—a handicap
which we hepe ancl believe ere the
season closes we will find ourselves
exonerated .from submitting toaspr
permitting. We refer to the, handicap
which the including of so many fresh-
men in this years team involved.
In. our team, as now constituted
there are a number of rather youth-
ful players. These must be alloted
time to collect their spurs.
• That these boys can collect the
aforesaid we have no reason to doubt
and from what we -have seen of them,
we predict they will take the precau-
tion, when collecting to see to it that
the, only spurs worthy of being gath-
ered are those with gilt -edges, and
abundantly belled; this variety all of
the boys are going to possess them-
selves` of most immediately. Indeed,
ere the season is much further advan-
ced we have every confidence in our
young colts' performing like veter-
ans. They have speed, courage, pep,
,endurance; and above all the "will to
win" they will arrive; most assured-
ly they will arrive. Ask them if they
are discouraged, dismayed or down-
aearted by their recent reverses, and
yoii will get a reply verexnently negaa
tive. These boys, we tell yea have
placed a most determined full stop
against the figure two in their loss
column, and with beautiful, and touch-
ing confidence predict the rapid rising
of mest predgious figures in the oth-
er column.
We have faith in the faith which is
in • them, and • join in their shout
"Wingham must win."
Town League
Since our last. report two games on-
ly, have been staged in our town lea-
gue series. On the 5th, Lloyds and
Gurneys and the Fry-Gunn-olas en-
gaged in a desperate fight fqr supre-•-
rnacy in a soft -ball encounter. Both
earns on this occasion gave a wonder-
fullY snappy exposition of soft -ball
as it should be played. Lloyds and
Gurneys emerged victorious by the
narrow margin of one run; the score
being si to so in their favor.
On 'Monday the 9th., in a hard -ball
engagement the lusty Lions easily de-
feated the Independents so to 6. The
Independents were minus a couple of
their crack players; their Pitcher was
decidedly off color, and most of the
other players played listlessly.
Gordon Cruickshanks who replaced
Johnston pitched fairly- good ball, and
managed to hold the Lions, who were
its a romping mood to two more runs.
Games for this week -end, and next
weeks beginning will be duly announ-
ced per bulletin.

Hon. Dr. Edwards • of Frontenac,
who lectured in Wingham on Tuesday
itt the interests of Orangeism, said hel
doubted if it were possible to find a
better, appearing town of its size,
than Wingham. He said the paved
streets were certainly neat, and the
flower beds, lawn and general appear -a
ance of the town hall was beautiful.
He also remarked that he believed the
site chosen for the war memorial
could not be improved on, and how
splendid it should appear • when the
jawn and terrace and flower beds
would. be completed, • ,
• We might just add a word of praise
for the manner in which the cemetery
is now kept. A week or so ago on
the occasion of the Oddfellows dec-
oration, complimentary remarks were
heard from many of the visitors to
the cemetery.
Just if we bad a beautiful park our
town would be complete.
