The Wingham Crossett Mercurys defeated the Lucknow In- termediate "A" Softball team last Thursday night in the town park here. But Pitcher Guy Sparrow of the Merits was wearing a piece of adhes- ive tape over a cut on the finger of his pitching hand so the game was protested and the protest was upheld. There is no denying the validity of the protest or the decision, The rule book makes it plain that no tape is permitted on a pitcher's hand, but the whole affair would have smelled sweeter if the umpire had announced that the game was being played under protest and the spectators had known that such was the case. Most of the folks on the bleachers didn't even no- tice the tape, nor did they know that the hasty conference with the umpire during the first inning was Lucknow's protest to the officials. Despite the fact that Sparrow was playing with this aid-to-victory, the Wingham boys really teamed up for a well-earned win, They were hitting the fabulous Hall and hitting him consistently though the Lucknow pit- Cher put on a good show. Wingham collected three runs in the third, scored by Seli, Crewson and Westlake. Ta fourth run came in the fifth frame when Crewson scored his second of the night. Miley, Luck- now's catcher, brought in the lone run for the Sepoys from a walk in the eighth. It is known that the repeat perform- ance will be played in Wingham, but as yet there has been no announce- ment as to the date.
