THE STARS FINISH THE SEASON STRONG
WINNING ADVANCE -TIMES TROPHY
The final game of the town league
soft ball was staged on Thursday eve-
ning, last; in, the Town Park, between
Fry-Gunns and the Stars. The, game
resulted in a win for the latter by'
a score of,14-11;thereby winning the
beautiful Advance -Times trophy. Both
.teams were keen to win, in some cases
too keen, resulting in a number of
errors, but these did not detract from
the excitement-. ofthe game in the
least.
In the first past of the game the
Stars piled up quite a lead and it was
not until about the sixth inning that
Fry-Gunns started to pound the ball,
and kept gradually gaining on. the
Stars, 'but the handicap was a little
too largeto overcome before the
game was called in the eighth inning
on account of darkness.
A very striking • thing about soft
ball this year was the finish made by
the Stars. They lost the first seven
games of the regular schedule and by
consistent winning in the remaining.
games tied the Clerks for third place,
and in the final game of the schedule
defeated the Clerks and earned the
right to meet the Foundry to decide
who would meet the Fry-Gunns for
the Championship.
They 'met the Foundry in a series
best two out of three, winning from
them in two straight games. They
then met the Fry;Gunns and eliminat-
ed them in two straight games, The
Spirit the Stars showed in never giv-
ing up even when things looked hope-
less makes you think they must have
believed in the saying, "the first shall
be last. and the last first

tendered td' Mr. Allister Forbes, the
official umpire for interest and sacri-
fice of time in trying to keep the
game snappy, and showed their apprec-
iation in a tangible way.
e The Executive at this meeting pre-
sented the Advance -Times Trophy to
the Stars, the champions .of the town
