We lost. Or did we? According to one official score keeper, the final score of the Huron Expositor- ROth's Food Market softball game was 17 to 8% for Roth's. But the score depends on who you talk to. As far as we at the paper are concerned, each of our 'runs should be worth two of thcirs,seeina as We_ars,the bne WhO-,"Orianized big.- Game and put in all the work. Don't believe the sign in Roth's window saying that they won. They cheated. They must have cheated. We were supposed to win. So what happened? Well, first of all, that'l half of a run came about when we put two young girls, Linda Ellis and Andrea Pinder, up to bat at the same time. The pair, who we now c11 the Beaverettes, got a base hit, and latei- managed to make a complete circuit of the bases, befofe one (we don't know which) was tagged out at home plate, while the other was safe. Only half of the "runner" made it home safe, so only half a run and half an out were tab- ulated. Although the Roth's team dominated the first inning (we were just letting them think' they were good) and took a six run lead, the rest of the game Was fairly close.

Makeshift umpire Bill Pinder, chosen from the crowd just minutes before the game began, did a good job of officiating. Ok at least that is what he likes to think. • But a few calls were a bit questionable.' How often does an umpire change a call after being bribed by a player? And then he changed his mind again because the bribe was not enough. , Could someone please clear up this point for me? Is a player out if mot of the ball beats him to first base, but not all of it? On more than one occasion, a shattered grape- fruit was thrown to first, but because a few same pieces were scattered about the infield, the ump said the runner was safe as not all of the ball was in the baseman's glove. FASHIONABLE ATTIRE Probably the most outstanding aspect of Sundays match was the up-to-date and fashionable attire worn by Most of the , athletes.
