GODERICH WINS FROM LOCALS
In a rather poor exhibition of
baseball played on the local diamond
on Thursday of last week the God
erich boys defeated the- locals by a
score of 11 to 1. The game did not
produce the .best baseball -and was
not up to the standard. Stokes start
ed on the mound but was relieved
by Dundas in the fourth inning.
Tunney was in the box for the win
ners and turned in a good perfor
mance. Goderich started the score-
ing in the second inning, with one
run. They came back with two in
the third and fourth, one in the six-
and in the ninth added five- runs.
In this frame E, Robinson hit for
four bases with two men on the paths
Exeter scored their lone tally in
the fourth ' inning, Medd scoring
when Dundas hit for two bases. L.
O’Brien and H. Rivers were the um
pires.

and with a batting spree in the sev-
-enth scored four runs. Fahner start
