161st Huron Battalion Colors De-
posited in Trivitt Meinorial Church
With impressive ceremony the col-
ors of the 16I.st Huron Battalion
were deposited in the, Trivitt Memor-
ial Church. on the morning ot May
the 24t1i. Heeded by the Exeter and
Crediton ba,nds and •followed by the
officers and men. of the Battalion, a
parade was started from the school
grounds and marched to the church.
IThe church was fillet to overflowing,
many being turned:4way. Following
the singing of a h*ea Lt. -Col. H. B,
Combe knocked AOlth his sword
three times on the door of the church
and was admitted by,the churcli war-
dens, who escorted the colors up the
chancel steps whero the Bishop of

cer commanding and deposited them. . •

CREDITON AND CLINTON •
TAKE ONE GAME EACH
The ball games between Crediton
and Clinton, Huron League teams,
were two great games and the hun-
dreds of fans who witnessed the
games were on their toes every min-
ute. If thp teams play the same
brand of ball through the season,
they deserve .to have good, crowds.
Crediton have been off the baseball
map for a few years and are just
'returning. It sure was fine to see
some of the old timers come back
and play the game the way they did.
Clinton won the morning game 7-4.
It was a good game. Motz for Credi-
ton pitched a good game, but luck
was against hint. He deserved a
much closer game. However his sup-
port wobbled a little at times and
Clinton sure tried to take advantage
of everything. Fred Kerr was in the
game for Crediton and Ferd still
has a lot of good baseball in him
yet. He should be, a good man with
the bat with a little more practice.
The afternoon game -was the best
of the two. It took ten innings to
decide the winner. Clinton got away
to a good start. The second man up
of which the 161st formed apart had
won undying fame on the fields of
Flanders. In the final drive. they had
MIN=
been placed as the spearhead of the
Mtn.=
had Crediton 0-2. Crediton kept
coming and in the 8th they tied the
score. It went to the tenth before
the tie was broken, In. the last of the
tenth Motz opened with a three
base bit and Hedden followed with
a single that won the game. King
Fahner for Crediton pitched a
steady game. King was thought to be
a hasbeen but he sure spoiled the
dope by pitching a grand game.
Cooper for Clinton was gbod but
Crediton were able to hit when the

hits meant runs. Dick Tasker, the

beginning to org
to our soldiers. The same courage
and perseverance that was mani-
fested by the soldiers and those at
the home base are needed to -day to
crush the things that would destroy
the ideals for which Britons stood.
Bolshevism, militant and missidnarY,
and Pan -Germanism were theatening
the nations. Service and sacrifice
were two things we learned the
meaning of during the days of war
and these were needed in the days of
reconstruction.
The speaker said that one of the
reasons it was fitting that the colors
of the 161st Battalion should be de-
posited in Exeter was, because that
they had been presented to the Bat-
talion by the Soldiers' Aid Society
of Exeter.
Just before the recessional hymn
a Military Cross was presented to
the parents of the late Lieut. Roy -
land Allin Walter, of Goderich, killed
in action at the battle of Arras. The
presentation was made by Brig. -Gen.
H. A, Panet. Major Lawless read the
citation which ,set ferth, that .Lieut.
Walter had pleped himself at the
head of his conipany: ina consolidated
a vital position and was killed in the
act,.
Among the officers present for the
occasion were: Gen H. A. Panet, G.
0.0.; Major W. T. Lawless, A. A. G.;
of London; and Lt. -Col. H. B. Combe,
Lt. -Col. H. T. Rance, Lt. -Col. J. W.

GOOD CROWD GREETS
"THE MISLEADING LADY."
The comedy -drama, "The Mislead-
ing Lady, put on by the Murless
Players, of Seafortin under the aus-
pices of the Exeter Band and the Ce.
w. V. A., was greeted with the larg-
est crowd of the season, the Opera
House being filled to capacity. The
play was splendid throughout the
entire performance. The parts taken
by the different members of the com-
pany were handled with the ability
of an artist. We haven't space to
describe the parts separately, but
we can say without fear of criticism,
that the players certainly played
their parts well. The play is one that
does not get on one's nerves, as there
is enough comedy, brought in at the
right time, that turns the sod Barts
of the story to laughter, Exeter will
certainly welcome the Murless
ers should. they ever wine ageia:
