The Wingham Hurons won the first of a five-game series for their group championship when they defeated Hanover at the Town Park Saturday 2-0. It was a close battle right down to the wire with Bob Bridgeford just shading veteran Pin Thimpson. ’ A good crowd was present to witness these evenly balanced clubs start what Should be a good series. The Red Sox present a stronger appearance at the s, plate but the Tribe are slightly super ior afield and perhaps better fortified in the box, Hanover’s pitching staff consisting mainly of Pin Thompson. The Indians continued in the hitting slump which has gripped them all August and it took two unearned runs to give them the verdict. None of the Braves could garner more than one hit, while Magwood got three of the Sox’s five blows, one a scratch single | past the box. Bart Smith took the fielding honors, but a fine throw from Willoughby in right field to third base pulled Hanover out of a very- danger ous spot. Doran stabbed a hard liner for an unassisted double play helped considerably too. The Hurons’ two runs came third and sixth, one in each, wood gave Bill Tiffin a life on his rap to short, Tuddy taking second on the wild heave. Pin Thompson tried once too often to pick Bill off second and tossed the ball into centre-field, Tiffin taking third. Bridgeford then won his own game with a single to left centre. Smith scored the other’run single- handed, starting out by bouncing a double off the trees in right. Bart then stole third and scored when Krueger’s throw got past Moos. Hanover’s big gest chance came in the sixth when they filled the bases on a hit batsman, Council mot on the evening of Au* gust 21st with all the members pres ent.
