WINN MERCURYS It was a very cold night at the Wingham ball park on Friday night and the game left the local fans colder still, as their last chance to stay in the WOAA fastball race dissolved before a furious onslaught by Charlie Justice and his Lucknow, Goderich and Kincardine team. It was fortunate that the Wing- ham squad picked that night for a succession of errors that practically handed the game to their opponents on a platter, with all the trimmings. The issue was in doubt until the fourth innings, when the Sepoyites took the game in hand and had very little trouble afterwards. The more than capacity crowd, al- though the officials claim there weren't over a thousand on hand, found it hard to warm up to the game, which had its exciting mo- ments but on the whole was a cautious affair. Charlie Justice lived up to his reputation as a hard man to beat in a corner. The following games with Seaforth and Walkerton should be exciting affairs. Manager Charlie Crossett decided to go to bat with the older, more experienced members of his team. Johnny Crewson was back on first after playing second base for a dozen games. Doug Aitchison was back at his old spot on second and Sharpy Seli, who had missed the last couple of games, roamed at short stop. In the field were Boney Foster, Templeman and -Westlake. Hanna, Lott and Fry sat out the game on the bench. Wingham, two games down, started off with a bang, scoring one run, Templeman coming in on Sparrow's single. Lucknow tied it all up in the third when Riggin scored on an error in centre field. Lucknow took the upper hand in the fourth, when two runs crossed the plate and to add insult to injury, three more in the seventh. With ten hits to six, the Mores were still unable to earn any more than that first run. Justice fanned ten batters and Sparrow five, includ- ing Charlie Justice himself. Morley Chinn earned three hits for four trips to the plate. Crewson, Temple- man and Sparrow had two hits apiece. Foster, Gardiner, Seli and Gault accounted for the others. The big difference was in the four errors chalked up to Wingham and one to Lucknow. R H E Lucknow . 0 01 2 0 0 3 0 0 6 6 1 Wingham 100 000 000 1 10 4 LUCKNOW—Miley c; Riggin cf; Justice p; G.

The new public school addition will likely he finished sometime around the end of September, accord- ing to reports received. Although it won't he open to welcome the new classes on the 2nd of September, there will ,be little delay in complet- ing the attractive new addition. The four new classes will do much to alleviate the present crowded con- ditions at the Public School. To date there have been around 60 registra- tions for the kindergarten class this year, Although it isn't official yet, it is likely that there will have to be two Grade I's, a mixed class of Grades II and III and a mixed class of Grades IV and V. Progress on the building Is going ahead rapidly with the terrazzo floors laid in the halls, At present work- men are working on acoustical tile ceilings for the classrooms, and the plastering on one side of the hall is' nearing completion.
