the georgetown herald wednesday july 18j 1945 sportute by j j stamp tbe sport situation here in george- town is slowly lmprovintfbut it could be much better than itia for example there are many lads ol public school age who are just bursting you might say to get out down in ha first half of the fourth the alliance made one run fcfng the score 50 when the huttoovffie team stepped up cor their half of the inning stamp came to bat first in this half arjd blasted out a nice double mcmurchy next atter hammered out a on the baseball diamond in the parky lively triple bringing stamp home and put their all into a good healthy game of baseball then young bit a fast bounding ball to third base where it was fumbled take for instance the night of the error to third baseman and me- scheduled game between huttonville murchy scored on this play so hut- park and the smith stone team tonvllle hud two funs in one man on wed july 4 there were at least first and andrews up he struck out twentyfive lads au over the diamond then cross hammered out a double each lad had a glove and were tossing scoring young making three runs to tbe ole pill around for au they were cross the plate then cross got out worth seems like the younger lads on the bases and k nix struck out go for hardball but they had no team now why couldrlt a league of bard- ball be started for these upandcom ing youngsters who knows we may have a ty cobb or lou gehrig in our midst i say a league was formed of at his turn at bat making the score at ehe end of the fourth inning al liance 5 huttonville 3 in the fifth and sixth innings there was no score for either side and it looked bad for huttonville alliance four teams im sure there are enough failed to score in their hah of the players in georgetown and district to seventh scott striking outja cnally cover that ages to range from eight hit a double wheeler followed with a simple life by karl grayson a man cant kidnap ms own wife 1 and yet gilbert hynes felt as though he were he was forcinf serena to take this trip against her will and he was going to force her to do things during the next eix months that might be considered brutal if you didnt know the cir cum stances the canoe in which tliey had been riding since early morning 9wung around a bend and gilbert drove ik bow into a little sandy beach there- was a clearing beyond and a grin of spruce and fir a cabm wasnnsi ble among the trees gu flung open the door antt mo tioned serena inside there was a fireplace directly opposite the en trance a bunk at one end t or younger of the younger ones can manipulate a bat or ball to seven teen im sure donny brill would be only too eager to see the league started and i know that a great percentage of the townspeople would also the four teams could be named after the single but mcnally couldnt make home on the play brydon filed out to first and hill filed out to centre half of the seventh to do or die and they really came through with colours flying telofrd hit a single next man campbell hit a single putting a man intermediate league teams say to- on first and third with none out qln- ronto leafs montreal royals roches- clalr got on base with an error and ter and newark im sure the boys tetford scored stamp poked a long can scrape up enough equipment to fly out to deep centre and campbell cover what they need scored after the catch was made mc- they must all have glove from murchy- hit a lovely triple again to what i saw out in the park recently score si and end the game 65 go here are the runs hits and errors made by both teams huttonville 6 runs 8 hits and 3 errors alliance 5 runs 8 hits and 3 errors a close finish in every way and an interest ing game to watch and i know they have two or three bats mask and maybe a couple of wornout deckers still they could have a lot of exciting games from now until rugby time and they would be out of mischief which often occurs from having nothing better to do i jm sure most everyone will agree with this if the lads who read this coiumn think that they can form a urteam league and wish to get alliance rted as soon as possible id be huttonville y too glad o i ake out a short smith stone schedule for them id hae to see businessmen the four coaches of the different teams and sort of concur on the set dates of the schedule etc etc e if we could get this league started by the last of this month we would have the month of august and sep tember to listen to the crack of the hardball and the cheers and boos of the mixed spectators you know the kind i mean what an umpire itiats the old eye ump and so on bo lets hear from you fellows the i gth a stocw young lads who can lead a hardball team and well see what can be done league standing seven bailers at bat hit chaplin smith stone
