inning Seaforth Bosharts led 2.0.
Grager for the Flyers struck -out the
first three to face him in the second,
while they ,picked up a run in their
half.
The third, inning was the big one
for the locals when they appeared to
have gained their batting eye, as they
scored four tains. Grager had the
bases loaded when he pitched a good
one to Cameron, who made no mis-
take as he laced• it for a hit, driving
in three runs and scoring on the play.
This gave Kennedy a five -run lead
and the Flyers really never threaten-
ed
hreatened for the remainder of ,the game. It
was close ball throughout the entire
game with both teams displaying real
form, but Kennedy, for thelocals, had
air -tight support in the field.
Highlights of the game was a cir-
cuit hit by Cameron for Bosharts,
Farrow's triple and double for the
Flyers. Mulfotd's leaping catch in
the ninth was the smartest play of
the game. -
Kennedy had seven striae -outs and•
issued three walks, while Grager for
the Flyers had ten strike -outs and
allowed five walks. Seaforth. collect-

Bosharts committing three, Mercurys

tack on Fleury when he clicked for
fella hits, which included a pair of
circuit clouts. Cameron for the visi-
tors also had a field day at bat when
he connected for, three singles and a
double. The fifth inning was the big
one for Seaforth; when they garnered

A number of games have been post-
poned and will be played later.
There were two industrial games
played during 'tile past week. On Fri-
day evening the Legion and Duncans
hooked up in a scheduled industrial
game, with the Legionaires winning
out to the tune of 15-7. Duncans
showed much improvement over their
first showing and when they can set-
tle down to playing sound ball, they
will be hard to beat. Habkirk pitch-
ed,steady ball for the Legion, being
relieved in the fifth by Cremin, al-
though they were leading by five runs.
Cremin, slow in starting, settled
down after allowing three Tuns in the.
sixth and held Duncans well in hand.
Adams hurled well for Duncans but
did not get the support in the field.
Don Stewart was the steadiest in the
field, and combined with G. Muir for
the only double play of the evening.
E. Doig clouted a homer for Duncans,
but did not touch second base, so had
to be satisfied with three bases. Hab-
kirk and Ivany hit for the circuit for
the Legionaires.

Jim MacDonald's Seaforth Fawns
went down to their third defeat in
five starts when they were taken by
the Walton team on Thursday, 9-8.
The locals played •heads -up 'ball all
the way, but were shaded slightly by
the visitors. Walton lost one of their
players in the 'first inning when in
-some manner Shirley Bennett, Wal-
ton first -sacker, fractured her wrist.
There were a nuntber of smart plays
on beth sides, and the locals are
snowing improvement every game out.

In their second game of the week
the Fawns turned the tables on Au-
burn and won by a score of 16-5. This
game was not as tough for the locals
as the Walton one, but the girls are
getting over their stage fright and
are playing better ball. Auburn start-
ed out strong by taking the lead in the
first inning, scoring four runs. White
for Auburn pitnhed good ball, but the
Fawns kept in there and were finally
i ewarded and tucked the game away.
It was drawn to our attention •over
the week -end that no football has
been appearing in this column. We
told aur inquirers the circumstances
and promised to see if something
could be done in this regard. Since
we have no direct contact with the
Huron Football League, we ask the
managers, coaches or secretary of
the teams to please furn•ishe us with
news items of gams played during
the week and we will do the rest.
Whisperings will be pleased to re-
ceivoAny story about the gsmes and
players up to Wednesday of each
week. If interested, just send the
story to I'own Whisperings, c/o The
Huron Expositor.
In watching some of the games at
the Lions Perk recently and noting
the different plays of the boys, we
can not help but think that most of
the players need a lot of good • sound
advice. We don't pretend to be ex-
perts on giving this, but wish to pass
it on to you. It is possible it might
be a help to even one player, and if
it should help him, then we are sat-
isfied. When yon, or you, have to
slide into a base,' elide. If you
change your mind, it might be the
means of changing a good leg for a
broken one. Another ideas is .this:
A ball thrown after the runneris
safe at the base is like closing the
door after the horse is gone. Re-
member that a ball in the hand at that
particular moment is safer than one
in the air. From observation, we
would like to add that whoever you
are, when batting, always run them
out. You never' can tell; it maybe
the turning point of the old ball game.
These are a few ideas Whisperings
has picked up while watching the
games, and we feel if the players will
play the game and not the opponent,
all will be content in the fact that:
