HURONS TOSS AWAY
OPENING BALL GAME
Campbell's Good Pitching Wasted As
Errors Mount
The Mayor of Hanover gave the
visiting Wingham Hurons the keys to
the town prior to the Bruce League
opener in the Grey Town on Saturday
and the Tribe igot right in the spirit
of thingy by going out and handing
the home club a 7-3 win. Only one
Hanover run, the first, was of the
earned variety, after which the Ind
ians’’ gave their worst fielding exhibi
tion in years to nullify some nice
pitching by Jerry Campbell. Campbell
was making his first start in a Wing
ham uniform and showed a fine as
sortment of curve-balls, limiting the
Red Sox to six well scattered hits.
Venerable Pin Thompson opposed the
Hurons and while giving up ten hits,
he kept the blows fairly well scatter
ed and fanned twelve.
The game came very nearly being
washed out, rain falling till almost
game time. It should have kept right-
on falling! Such conditions naturally
limited the size of the crowd, many of
whom were local fans. Some good
hitting by Smith and Mellor was
about all they had to cheer for.
Single runs in the second and fourth
gave the Hurons a two-run lead. Bart
Smith opened the second by lashing
a single to centre and then stole both
second and third and scored on Mel
lor’s single to right after Groves and
Nicol had fanned. Bart scored again
in the fourth after opening with a
lusty triple to centre. Groves lined
one which bounced off the third base-

man, scoring Smith. Hanover tied it
up in their half of the fourth. After
Krueger and M. Thompson had been
retired, Campbell lost his control tem
porarily and walked both Magwbod
and Hetherington, the former scoring
on Willoughby’s double to centre.
Nicol erred on Deeve’s roller, Thomp
son scoring but Willoughby was nick
ed at the play trying to score on the
same play.
The Red Sox went ahead in the
fifth. on some more classical errors.
Niergarth threw out Pin Thompson
but Wendorf got a hit through the
box, Campbell knocking the drive
down and Smith giving the runner an
extra base by firing the ball far over
Mellor’s head. Ellis was an easy out
but Nicol's error on Krueger’s roller
scored Wendorf. A triple by Nicol
and a double by Fred Mellor got that
one back in the sixth but that was all
the ilndians could do in a scoring way.
Hanover scored four runs and won
the game in their half of the sixth
with the help of one very doubtful hit.
Magwood got free transportation to
start the fateful (or frightful) frame
and reached third on a sacrifice and
an infield out. Then the blow fell!
Nicol again erred on a roller by Deev-
es, Magwood scoring. Campbell de
cided to join the fun and dropped Pin
Thompson’s pop fly. Wendorf was
given a scratch hit when Somers failed
to hold on to his lofter after plowing
through some long grass back of se
cond. Ken retrieved the pill and threw
too late to third trying to get Deeves,
and Niergarth then tossed the ball far
over second base, trying to get Pin
Thomson, and after things quieted
down, both runners had scored and
the game was Gone With The Wind.
