fa ine Stratford baseball teams have re- deemed themselves somewhat impres- Sively after the trimmings which they took on Victoria Day. That extra-in- nings victory which the Nats captur- ed at the expense of Brantford Red Sox on Saturday helped to wipe out the memory of the four runs which they allowed to slip across the. plate in the last inning at Galt on May 24. 'The Juniors too, looked smart when _ they took Guelph into camp at Duffer- -in Park on Saturday afternoon. The Intermediate Bees. did what was ex- pected of them by disposing of New Hamburg here last night, - Galt Rangers are still perched on 'the top rung in the Intermediate "A" group, and they will probably be mighty hard to dislodge. - They were mighty lucky to win against Nats in _ Galt after the locals practically had the contest stowed_ away in the old bat bag, but it just went to show that the game is never over until the last man is out. The Rangers are reaping the benefits of good strong junior teams during the past few years, and in their fast encounter with the Nats., their chances were not hurt any by the breaks of the game, plus several decisions from behind the catcher. ----_---------- ® Carl White may yet have to take back what he had said earlier in the season about having plenty of players but few pitchers. In the two Junior games which the local fans have seen this year, Carl has introduced differ- ent pitchers on each occasion, and neither one of them looked half bad. Hayes. who did the twirling on Vic- toria Day, had twelve strike-outs, and turned in a performance which would have won most junior games. Hanlon, who did the twirling on Saturday, con- ducted himself like a veteran mounds- man. Both Hayes and Hanlon should give Carl a lot of good pitching, and all the twirling prospects have not been tried yet. « The race in the Community Softball League may not be such a true-to- predictions affair as was thought in Many quarters before the League got under way. Probably one of the most interesting developments so far was the victory of St. Paul's over last year's sensations, the Larks. St. Paul's are new blood this year, but they ap- _-pear to have the goods. The Larks ar very much in the cellar just now as a result of two reverses. Those, 'who saw the new Brothers entry go _ down to defeat at the hands of Kroeh- _lers on the opening night, label that contest as one of the best ever played here. That covers a lot of territory, but it was a bang-up game, and no foolin'. And what about the National Maids? They're doing quite well, thank you. Two smart victories on May 24, one in Hespeler, and the other against the strong Galt team, did not hurt their popularity any. The Maids are likely to get into action locally on Saturday at Dufferin Park. A game with Kit- _ ehener is being planned as a curtain- raiser to the Intermediate "A" tilt be- tween the Ingersoll Cheese Hounds _and the Nationals. It is planned to start the girls' game at 2.00 p.m., and . the Ingersoll-Stratford game at 3,30, _ Now, Mr, Weatherman, givé us a break, This Woodstock City entry is poison to Stratford C.N.R: Soccer crew in the Western Soccer League. On Saturday, pe the crew from the Oxford metropolis dashed the hopes of the followers of the local booters by nosing out a 2-1 victory. The defeat of the locals brought disappointment, as the local supporters had . been clamoring for the railwaymen to avenge their form- er defeat at the hands of Woodstock. Saturday's victory gave the visitors undisputed possession of second place ! in the group standing, _ First Harness Meet | Staged Here Y esterday The first harness racing meet of the year was staged here yesterday, and although the attendance was fair, it was not as good as the calibre- of racing merited. Only one of the three classes onthe card was won in straight heats. The 2.28 ._pace went five heats, with Lady McGregor and 'Billy S. fighting it out alone in the fifth heat. The 2.20 pace was taken after four heats by Black Patch, a Blenheim horse. Only one spill occurred during the :day's racing, and that came in the first heat of the 2.28, when three horses, Lady McGregor, Great Scott Grattan, and Donna Grattan figured in a mix-up, Fortunately, none of the+ drivers was injured, although one sulky was reduced to matchwood. Lady McGregor showed her mettle by coming back and finally winning first money from Billy S.,;~a Forest horse, which had taken the first two heats. 'The Mirror's Suggestion Should Be Adopted Will it be necessary for some person to lose his or her life before some steps are taken to prevent accidents at the Downie Street level crossing over the C.N.R. right-of-way? Two accidents have occurred at the | crossing within two weeks. Neither of them was fatal, fortunately, but the next one may be. When two accidents ole at the same spot within two | weeks, then it's time to consider means 'of preventing further accidents. It is significant that the accidents both occurred on Sunday nights when there was no watchman on the cross- ing.
