win for Wingliam by the one sided score
of 9 to 1. Although it was Saturday the
crowd from Wingliam, Kincardine, Ripley
and even far away Teeswater was astound-
ing. We do not purpose naming those
who were there from Wingham, it might
be easier to mention those who stayed at
,home, but someone suggested that there
did not appear to be any person there from
Lochalsh but the players. The ball play-
ed at times was good but the Lochalsh
boys made a great many bad errors, The
score by innings was:
Wingham ..... ... 2 1 0 3 0 0 3 0 0-9,
Lochalsh ........ 0 o 0 0 1 o o o o_i,
W. Morden pitched the entire game and
struck out 14 men. Anderson isa wonder

maG the other fellows sit up and take
notice. F� McLean who was filling in on
th team because that Gordon Cruik-
shanks could not be there, made a spec-
tacular play, three merL were on bases and
two were out when he swung on the ball
and didn't miss. The three men got in
and he went as far as third base, The
Lochalsh pitchers have a bad failing of
hitting the man at bat on the arm with
the fourth ball they pitch.
