EIGHT SPORTING 1iliil, GHEMESI GAME UP THE YEAH sun AI THE illltlHllflll (Ill FRIDAY Mil Ball games will come and. 'ball games will go, but it is mighty doubt ful if the local ball followers will ever witness another soft ball game this season the like of the one they had served up to them on Friday night last, when the High School and the Steleos crossed bats for the first time this season. But oh boy it was some ball game. It was the fastest exhibition of ball ever played in these parts. From the time Umpire Burgess called play hall till the game was over it was full of snap and pep. Heavy hitting ,was conspicuous by its absence tor the pitchers were working wonderful 1y. Fast fielding and sensational catch es with few errors, made this game a peaches and cream one. The score, oh yes, the school kids won out by one run, the score being 3 to 2. Do you get that, you bugs who have followed this game tor years. 3-2. some small score for a Fast Travelling :Stelcos Go Down to Defeat Before the High School Kids-Score 3-2--Batters Mowed Down By Pitchers Like Wheat Before a Binder-Winning Run Scored on an Overthrow to the Crowd-"Bo" Farrell plays the Game of His Life. The Stelcos Went to bat in the opening frame and Wilson started to put them over. Right trom the start it was plain that the kid was working right and that meant that some good pitching was going to be served up. The first man up was out and then Bell received a walk, but died on first for VanDyke and Foote both went down on foul tips caught by Farrell. . 3 to 2. Do you get the who have followed thh years. 3-2, some small soft ball game, eh.what At the end of the first it was discernable to all that Hilts, who is a southpaw” was in great form and everybody {gettled down to watch a hard fought pitching battle between these , lads. They were not dis- appoint for they sure saw a 'bat- tle. For six innings they watched the Stelcos come to bat and go back again without scoring, likewise they observed that the scholars whiffed the air tor tour innings without a score. In the fifth Crabbe came to bat and laid down a grass cutting hit to Bell who fumbled the ball al- lowing him to reach first in safety. Hartwell came to bat and struck out. Marsh sent a high one out into the field only to be caught out by Simms who caught it while in the process ot looping-the-loop Crabbe stole sec- ond and Wilson came to bat and laced a pretty one out into centre field sending Crabbe home with the first run. The ball came into third base and Mickus on a wild throw to try and catch Wilson at first sent it bver Foote’s-head into the crowd, Wilson went on to second and should have stayed there but he didn't. In- stead he kept on going apparently for he scored. Then an argument took place. In the meantime; before Foxy Foote noticed that Wilson had left second, Shaefer came to bat and sent out a two bagger. It was then he landed on second and as there was no wne running home Foote realized that Wilson had gone home on the overthrow He argufied but the Umps. could do nothing so the game was protested right there. Schaefer was the first man up for the kids and he reached first on a pretty single through the infield, but he got no further tor Farrell, Went- worth and Corman "all bit the dust," before 'Hilts pitching and the Stelcos fast fielding. the Umps. could do nothing so the game was protested right there. (See report in another column). Shaefer died on second when Farrell struck out.. Both teams went down in 1-2-3 or- der in the sixth.

With two down it looked like heavy weather tor the Stelcos again, when Simms, the home run king polled a long one to left field, but he could only make two bags on it for it was fielded fast and came in on a perfect throw. Sharp Several members of the Executive Committee of the Soft Ball League have been asked the reason tor pass- ing the hat at league games and they make the following explanation: Our expenses thus far have been 30 halls (il tor each game)....$75 00 b' bats.... .... o............. 990 Advertising.... ......... .... 5 00 Making a total ot.........

Hilts struck out. In the second half of the seventh Wilson made the only homer of the night. Hartwell and Marsh had both been caught out when he came up. He landed squarely on the first one Hilts dished up. Shaefer was caught out at first. . This ended the scoring. The eighth and ninth produced nothing but airtight 'ball on both sides. The game ended at this, taking just exact 1y fifty-five minutes to be played in, including the arguments. It was sure one grand little ball game and the tans, fanettes and pea- nut eaters who missed it, missed something. H. B.---000 020 (Y00-3. Ste1Cos-000 000 200---2. . Batteries-Wilson and Farrell; Hilts and Phipps. Umpires-surges/s, Livingston and Farrell. Time 55 minutes. Hilts the southpaw slab artist of the Stelcos is certainly developing into one sweet little mound worker. He pitched a wonderful game on Friday night and showed the results ot Foote's coaching. This boy with luck will 'be a terrible man to beat this summer. .. George Wilson easily ranks second to "Smoke" McBride as the best pitcher in the league. On Friday night's performance he deserved to win. It was the third game that he had pitched in five days. Wilson had, no business going far- ther than second base on that over- throw into the crowd in the fifth inn ing. He knew that he should have stayed at second instead of going home. Had he not gone home it is doubtful if another run would have been scored so that the game would have been tied in the ninth and extra innings would have been necessary. Sam Crabbe showed all the ear- marks of a highway robber' in the sixth inning when he robbeed Simms of a beautiful hit. He made a won- derful run for the ball and pulled one ot the most sensational catches seen in these parts in many moons. It was sure highway robbery. Steve McCoy says "Why doesn't the league supply "S1ivers" Corman and "Bo" Farrell with a box to stand on. when they come to bat?" “\Slivers Corman says "l but that man Hilts has steam on that ball. l past me so fast that I pneumonia from the created." the kit Lake I by one tor Baseball is just like and women, you can't thing about them.

The just exact played in, be ll There are teams in the big base- ball leagues who have men on their roster that are known as “drawing cards." That is to say it makes no difference whether the team is a winning tr a losing team, tho public turns out in droves to see some par- ticular man on that team play. For instance. There is Ty Cobb with the Detroit Tigers and Babe Ruth with the New York Yankees. These men attract thousands of people to the baseball parks, who go there for no other reason than to see them play, GRIMSBY is not behind the big league towns in this respect, for the High School team in the Soft Ball League has a dra.wing 'card on their team Just as well as the Detroit team has. There are people in this town who go to the ball yard when the High School team is playing tor no other reason than to see this ball Tlayer work. He is the sensa- Ition ot the league and his name is In., every ball followers lips. He is without a doubt a wonderful little (player. He gets everything that player. He gets everything that comes his way and gets it easy. We do not know what name his mother calls him by when he is at home but to the boys and the fans he answers to the John Han- cock of "Bo" Farrell. being the fourth son ot H. H. and Mrs. Farrell. "Bo" is small for he is young, and when one considers his youthfulness and his smallness, you immediately begin to wonder how he does some ot the things that he pulls off. everybody gasp. Nobody has figured out yet how he got that ball down out of the air but he did and that was all that was necessary.

He rarely ever lets a ball of any kind get past him, except it is one away up in the air, and when it comes to catching foul tips, good night. He just pitcks them off the end ot the bat like picking cherries off a limb. (High ones, wide ones and low ones all look alike to him. He is a girod hitter and a fiend on the basepaths. He runs like a deer and will slide for a 1bag head first or any other way, just so long as he gets there. He knows baseball back- wards. and frontwards and is with- out a doubt the brains of the team. He rarely ever makes a misplay and he can see a play like a flash. It's worth a lot of "Jack" to hear him issuing rapid fire orders to the fielders. You sure have got to hand it to him. There is not another catcher in the league at the present time who is in his class, nor has there been one around these parts since the days of the late "Boob" Sehwah, who was acknowledged by all to be the greatest soft ball catcher in the Fruit Belt.

Fisher returned the ball to his pitcher, who thought Marsh was taking a lead off second and immediately turned and threw the ball to Farrell, who was standing his bag, with Marsh right alongside ofhim: Fisher’s throw was a mile wide and Farrell couldn't even touch it, but Marsh could run and run he did and scored. Right here for a moment it looked like the little old ball game was going up the 01d ball game was going up the spout and that Fisher was going to throw his own game away. Gosh, the excitement was intense, every- body was on their toes and the school kids rooters club was working in top form. Fisher went back to his box, shook his curly head two or three times and did he tighten up, well we’ll say he did. He fanned Hartwell so fast that the kid never knew he was out. Crabbe came up and hit out a safe single and stole to second. Biggar and Wilson both struck out and the game was over. Only seven innings were played, as per an agreement made between the captains at the start, owing to the cloudiness ot the sky, and be- sides the Vets. were late in turning up. Farrell'on second for the Vets played a pretty game, and secured the only double play unassisted-made this year. In the third inning "Bo" Farrell had reached second in safety when Wentworth sent a long high one over second; Farrell raced back for it and made a pretty catch. "Bo" had taken a long lead off second on the hit, but when it was caught had to get back to second. Farrell gave the base the double "O" but there was not a player there to Pike the catch, so he beat it for the bittraim- self and beat "Bo" to it by inches'. r Despite the fact that the schooT team was beaten the name of "SIN- ers" Corman is "twrit" in large let- Despite the fact that the school team was beaten -the name of “Sliv- ers" Corman is "writ" in large let- ters on pages of baseball history.

He rushed back for it and took up on a running jumping sideways catch. It was great work. .
