PuWisheri Flesherton Won From Vandeleur In First ^Game Flesherton softbaD team took Vandeleur on Monday night to the tune of 9-5 in a herd fought gam« in the firfet game of the best 2 out of 3 semi-finals. The second game to be played on Thursday night in Flesherton should be a thriller witJi Vandeleur fighting to remain in the running and Flesherton boys determ- ined to put them out, and then go on to play the winner of the Dundalk- Rock Mills series. ; On Monday night Flesherton went to town in the first inning and tal- lied 4 runb, while Vandeleur failed to count until the 6th inning. Dar- gavel pitched a magnificent game with 8 strike outs and a home run to his credit, making himself the star of the game. H. Best and G. Boyd came next in the honor list with 2 runs and four hits each at 5 times to bat. Phillips, who generally plays sen- sational ball wa^ not up to par and was struck out in the 6th inning for the first time this year by N. Genoe who helped Buchanan on the mound for Vandeleur, both doing a fine job but their support in the field was weak.

Mr. Lightning Strikes Bam But Does Not Bum The barn on the farm of Mr. Grant Helmkay, five miles east of Flesher- ton, CoUingwood Gravel, the former Martin Phillips place, was struck by lightning in the electric storm Mon- day afternoon, but the only damage done was a window frame and twelve panes blown out. The bam was fill- ed with smoke and fumes and an at- tempt was made to take out the live. 'stock in the bam, not kno'ning the extent of the damage the bam sus- tained- The horses were very excit- able at that moment and Earl Helm- kay, the owner's son went to release one of the team, it struck out with its hind foot, striking Elarl and throw- him against the wall with such force that the button on his trousert was embedded in his flesh.
