It was the locals second win over Sebring- -vine within two weeks and brings • them nearer the top, since .the Centralia Flyers and Listowel 'game • was ,postponed the same night. Frank Kennedy, on the mound for Boaharts, pitched a neat four - hitter, while his teammates came through the game with,,,two errors to shut out the S•ebringville boys, Bosharts did not get started un- til the fourth stanza when they pushed across, four runs on three hits and three Sebringville errors. 'The fifth frame was almost • a re- peat as the locals scored four runs on three hits and two miscues. by Sebringville. They then were held ;scorless until the" ninth inning, when Bill ],Smith came through with a home run to make the count read 9-0 for Bosharts. In hie. four -hitter, Kennedy had 16 strike -outs and allowed but one walk, Cline on the mound for Sebring- ville, in four frames had nine strikeouts and wasrelieved.in the fifth by Young, who came through with seven strike -outs and walked ,one.

In their first official appearance in Seaforth, the Listowel team' went down to defeat before the' stronger Seaforth Boaharts last Friday night in the second game of a double-header, when the locals tools them for the count of xI-2: Although the win wao by a Maar margin,, it did, net indicate the close play of the game, The sec- ond frame was where the Bosharts wen the game when they Scored six runs an four hits and three Listowel errors... From here 'on both teams settled down and as far as scoring and hits and errors were concerned, it was fairly even. Listowel ,did not score until late in the game when they pushed two runs across in the eighth stanra on three hits and two •Seaforth er- rors. Arscott walked six men and struck out four, while Kennedy gave up no walks and came through with 15 strike -outs. The visitors committed eight 'errors, while Sea - forth had three miscues and was the margin of victory. There were several good plays and especially two spectacular catches by the visitors. • Colquhoun, playing short, made an outstand- ing catch in deep short as he ran away from the infield, making the put-out with his 'back to the plate. The other smart play was on Bous- sey's line drive to Oolquhoun at short, as he stabbed - at the 'ball, slipping over his fingers, when at the same time Weber, pl, ng sec- ond base, came from nowhere and, caught the deflected ball before it touched the ground. Horton, in right field, also came through with a great running. catch. Summary: R. H. E.

The Legionettes started out strong and ran up six runs in the first stanza on two hits and seven errors by the Fawns. The locals looked bad in this frame, and at the outset- it looked liked Blyth would take the game, as Seaforth only •tallied one in their half of the first frame. The second canto was scoreless and in the third, while Blyth counted one more run, the Fawns came back in their half to push across five big runs, They added six more in the fourth, when they batted around as the big bats of the locals clouted out three home- runs. Barbara Dale, pitching for the Fawns, settled down after the third stanza and with improved support in the field. held the visitors off the score sheet. The locals came through With four more runs in the sixth to put the game away. Being the first of adouble-header, it' was played as a seven -inning affair.. Summary: R. H. E.

And this week, with Bri- tain's gold reserves dwindling and the dollar gap again widening, this strongest figure in the British gov- ernment, this British man of the year, Chancellor, etc., Cripps hays stood 'forth in Parliament to re - letter. The letter is from an, old friend of ours, Ebony Snodgrass, of Deep River, who badly wants to have his picture in the paper. In this letter, Ebony asked us to fos',va?h his testimonial on Hole -in - the -Bat to the proper company, with the hope that they will use it, along with his photo, in one of their advertisements. In. the covering letter, Ebony says: Deere Town Whisperings: 1 have rid in yur paper about peuple growing haire on bald haids and, curing tummy ulcers and cornes on the big toes by using famous rem- edyes. These interestin' advertizy- ments always show pictoors of peuple who wus cured. I want to be famous like these peuple, but when I dranke haire restoryer it r give me tummy ulcers, and when. I put ulcera cure on, my haire fell out and I haven't had any cornes since I fruz off my big toe in the winter of 1892. Recuntly I got a Hole -in -the -Bat and wud like to .get my photograf in the paper. I have not Beene any advertizyments like this about theme and 1 think they wud like to have it. I have fixed up what I want to say all legal, so here it is. Yurs trutfuly, EBONY SNODGRASS His Testimonial: I, Ebony Snod- grass, being of sounde minde and fittin' to lick any stamp in the country, do solemly bequeeth the aforesed to wit and tow hich • I cached in may savings last spring and investigated them heav- ily in a 50 -cent Hole -in -the -Bat.

It kame in mighty useful •at. tyrmes . .. especially when I kame to bat for Bosharts with two out and three on. Yes, sir, that dere ball went tru the Hole -in -the -Bat every ding-dong tyme. Rite now, in the middle of the seeson, wit Bosharts near the top, I want the H.olein-the-Bat Com- pany ompany to no of niy grate success wit their famous production. That is the reason I stud get my photo- graf in the paper. This I solemnly -were to be tru. (Signed) Ebony Snodgrass Mr. Ebony Snodgrass, note: If you can continue your fine display of having the ,ball go through the Iiole-in-the-Bat, we certainly will do our best to put your picture in the paper and bring the testimon- ial before the proper authorities.

In the new Legion group, Goderich vs. Seaforth, July 20. • 3 The newly -formed Legion soft- ball group is a mystery to us. There have been a number of games played and as yet we have rot been able to get any reports on them. There is one fact we do knout, and that is, the local Sea - forth team has won .two games brit more than that we are out in the cold. A week or eo ago assure Britain and beat down dis- aster. The tableau has an impact. This ornate chamber, with its Gothic windows and red -leathered seats, with carved statue's of former kings looking down, and with the golden mace of authority resplen- dent before the chair, bespeaks Britain in all its greatness. Actually this is the House of Lords, which the Commons is us- ing while its own bomb -destroyed chamber is being rebuilt. As Cripps rises to make his intensely awaited address, deep -throated Big Ben sounds from his tower beyond the walls. And even as the empire listening to London's news broad- cast hears Big Ben daily strike, so now news tickers throughout the Commonwealth are poised to relay Cripps' words. Ambassadors from interested na- tions—and which nation is not in- timately concerned—sit in the gal- lery above the packed House floor. Outside long queues of everyday folk wait for seats in the public galleries, but this is not extraord inary, for it is the summer season and holidaymakers from England and beyond the seas are visiting Londonand the Mother of Parlia- ments. Britain, by the way, looks good this July of 1949. There are more summer clothes, and' the long' hot spell has painted healthy tans, on the faces as well as a ser- ious " drought in the fields. There are more chocolate ices available —Eskimo pies to Americans—more new automobiles on. the roads. More traffic jams where streets are getting a new coat of paving. But how does Britain look be- hir.d the facade, in that intricate realm of economics and finance where it is determined whether John Bull, the world trader, can afford to buy ample foodstuffs for his concentrated populations and raw materials for his smoking fac- tories? For answer, ask Cripps. He reputedly' has the whole economic picture and remedy _at his finger- tips. Cripps has a special fascination. When he appears in the newsreels just now, the visiting American is surprised the audience does not applaud: as it did for Churchill when he stood before cameras, de- fiant during the grim war days. But Cripps, the austere, inspires not quite the same emotions. The battle of the dollar gap, win or lose, is not as gripping as the bat- tle of Britain. And, in all fairness. there is not the same issue of total freedom or servitpde at stake. Yet - if Britain fails to win through to a high level of produc- tion, if the nation falls short of rebuilding the sterling areas' great- ness, Britain is likely to find itself with a permanently lowered stan- dard of living—nand never again quite a first-rate power. So here stands Cripps, ,razor sharp and logical minded, the cele- brated vegetarian who gave up smoking a few weeks ago and found it no effort, the firm .believ- er in "Christian action," which means practicing Christian ideals in politics and even in economics. Beside , him on the government front bench sit mild -featured At- tlee, burly Bevin and Morrison, with his oft -caricatured forelock. This government, only a few months ago, issued an Economic Survey which forecast a consider- ably more favorable economic sit- uation for today—of which the tan- ned Anthony Eden; speaking from T 0 10.1711 b°o Wrist$' grea#s jmulp,r dse, 0aY6, ars eh, 7t11igsd:ayir eyeuing '$4 asem..bers ORi4p0t04,' tdurO y 'The watlala''ere were'; ladies, 11ii's, P, L Br tx,lk 4 .

But no one, it is argued, quite foresaw how quickly the United States, hit by the price recession, would shrink its purchases ' from the sterling area—particularly of those ace dol- lar earners, rubber, tin and cocoa. What Cripps has, to say — yea, more, what he has in mind and is not saying just yet—has top im- portance far beyond Britain, be- cause the, plight of the sterling areas stretches eastward to Aus- tralia, and India and westward to affect even Canada and the Unit- ed States. And if the price reces- sion in the United States, halting American purchases abroad, leads to retaliatory and large cuts in foreign buying of American ex- ports, a small recession cauld con- ceivably fatten until it stagnated recovery around the globe, aug- menting uomenting unemployment and bene- fitting only the Communists with their ready "I told you so." Britain, the most intimately af- fected, has given deep thought to the means of meeting the crisis of this hour. And the chief thinker in its. economics ministries is Cripps. His voice reflects, and transmits, confidence to those who hear him—even to us newsmen. in the cramped press gallery. Much of what be says in a brief 15 minutes is not particularly dra- matic.. Indeed, in a sense -it is an- ticlimax, because the main an• nouncement has been foreshadow- ed in the press for several daya. Precisely it is the ,fact that there has been a heavy new, fall in the sterling areas reserves, from £471,000,000 at the end of March to £406,000,000 at the end of June and the barometer is still falling. Cripps further warns in Cripps language—how he talks economics a;, though it was an exciting sub- ject—that Britain, has reluctantly inaugurated a standstill on pur- chases from the dollar world. Whe- ther there will be heavy perman- ent cuts, in purchases from the dol- lar area, such as tobacco, food, films, petrol and cotton, must await the outcome of the major talks with American and Commonwealth finance chiefs. But if Cripps only warned and worried the nation he would be falsifying his traditions. And there is more to his announcement than that. For he obviously has major proposals up hissleeve, which he says cannot be discussed in the press before he has discussed them with Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder and the Common- wealth finance ministers. And these proposals are nothing more nor less than ways and means for essentially bridging the whole des- perate chasm which today lies be-' tween the dollar and sterling areas. "We are convinced," says Sir Stafford, "that the present circum- stances offer a real opportunity' for a long-term solution of the dif- ficulties between the dollar area and the rest of the world. . . . If we are to have in: future the con- vertibility of currencies and multi- lateral form of trade which we have sought ever since the end of the war and are now seeking, we and others must begin to build the permanent policies that will make these objectives possible of attain- ment." Try as correspondents do at press conferences they cannot in- duce Cripps to hint at his plans at the moment. But he does empha- size that for Britain the present crisis means immediately and fun- damentally that there can be no further wage increases or salary boostings and no more go-slow- or politically inspired strikes. Be- cause Britain's great task must be to boost. production and lower costs and then boost production more and lower costs still further —if it is to sell its goods com- petitively abroad as it must.. "Aha," asks a questioner at a presa -conference, "does this mean the same old stick a.ndthe same old carrot for the British people?" To this the Chancellor has a deeply thoughtful reply. The in- centives which, should persuade the British people to put their shoulder anew to the wheel now— to face with hard work the latest crisis in a string of arises—can be simply stated. They are: Preser- vation of higher living standards now opening. up, "fair shares for all." and full employment; in oth- er words, precisely the kind of ec- onomic worldto which Britain dedicated itself at the war's end. The question which remains. is: Can Cripps, the austere, or his government get this message ef- fectively across to rhe British pee- , p10? BE COOL !
