This gave Kennedy a five -run lead and the Flyers really never threaten- ed hreatened for the remainder of ,the game.

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. Line-ups: Duneans: Kehn, c.f. D.

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. SEAFORTH FAWNS -B, Case, 3b.; J °utrie, 2b.; E. Huisser, l.f.; A. Wil- son, s.s.; G.

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: "CLEAN SPORT IS GOOD SPORT" • Bowling ons The Green (By Bill Hart) Sepeelt The grass at the bowling green has the.new look.
