The Greys went on their big- gest hitting splurge of the season a week earlier in thumping the same St. Marys crew 17-7 in the playoff opener. The third and deciding contest was played in the Stone Town last night, Wednesday. The win- ner of this third game will meet Goderich in the group final and the loser will tackle the Bruce- field Bombers in a consolation series, Barbara Pfaff, ace right bander of the St. Marys pitching staff, was in rare form as she allowed the Greys but five hits and struck out 10. The home team Comets wasted little time getting on the score- board as they scored three times in the first inning and bounced right back with four more in their second turn at the plate to pretty well put the game in the bag. Cowboys, Indians, hobos and gypsies flocked to Exeter Friday for the Funday costume parade. Winners in the various categories are all gathered for this photo.
