St Helens Defeat Local Team at St Johns Grounds
The St Helens ball club beat the local team 7 to 1 at St Johns grounds last Sunday afternoon. Barham pitched well for the locals in a one sided game while new players fill gaps left by those recalled to service. The locals hit well but failed to convert hits into runs as they shift to strength for next Sunday's match with the Found ation team. Regulations cap sugar at two pounds per month with reporting by dealers and permits for canning, under Food Administrator Ayer, with hotels and restaurants under close supervision as the federal sugar ration takes effect.
