Magis- trate R. B. Baxter, Port Hope, presided in court and Crown At- torney Deyman prosecuted. Evi- dence given by Provincial Cons- table Duncan was to the ef!ect that the accused sideswiped 2 cars near Courtice by crossing the centre line in the pavement causing damage to the cars and injuring one passenger. The ac- cused had been drinking but was not intoxicated. Magistrate Baxter, in imposing sentence, observed that the ac- cused had been convicted on the saine charge a year ago and at !irst suspended the diver's license for 3 months. The accus- ed made the plea that he drove not only himsel! but others to their work in the Goodyear Co. and the handicap would be a hardship in getting to work. The suspension was then reduced to one -month and the license lm- pounded for that peSiod. The fine and costs were pa!d in court. % 1 BOWMANVILLE BLANKS WHITBY 5-0 IN ONE HIT GAME Bowmanville Rotary Juniors got back into the league Tuesday evening at the High Scbool dia- mond wben tbey blanked Wbitby at handball 5-0.

With this understand- ing the meeting adjourned. COKES TAKE BOWMANVILLE BY SCORE of 11-5 Oshawa Coca Colas, with Lang- maid pitcbing, took Bowmanville Rotary Juniors into camp, 11-5, in league hardball at Alexandra Park, Oshawa, Thursday evening. Bowmanville's lineup was again changed. The management sent in young Don Sweet, 14 yeans o£ age, to pitch the game and Clemence played short w it h Brown taking 2nd base. Bow- manville pushed across the first run of the game in the second but Oshawa rallied for 3 in their half. In the 3rd Oshawa went to town, scoring. 8 runs. Tlhen Clem- ence took over and outpitched Langmaid until the game was called in the 6th on account of darkness. Bowmanvifle scorcd one in the 4th and 2 in the 6th but couldn't overcome the Cokes commandîng lead. In the first innings, Bowman- ville had a chance to put the game on ice but lacked that ag- gressive punch necessary to take advantage of the breaks. Lang- maid walked four batters in suc- cession but Ferguson was nipped -stealing. With the bases full Strike flied to short and Sturrock fanned. No score. Oshawa went down in order. In the 2nd Brown bit and stole. The next two fanned but Fergy's hit scored Browni. Cokes came back with 3 runs on 4 walks, a double steal, a balk and an error. Nine batters faced Sweet but only one hit was registered. Bowmanvîlle fanned out in the 3rd frame. Then the baloon went up with 12 Cokes in succession at bat. Eight runs crossed the plate on 6 hits, 2 errors, 8 stolen bases, one walk and general Bowman- ville confusion as to where to throw the ball., After two fanned in the 4th Stutt walked and Sweet was on through a dropped fly and Stutt scored. Cokes got two hits in their haîf but Clemence held them to no runs. In the 5th Langmaid tigbtened with two strikeouts and an easy grounder and Clemence downed the Cokes, one, two, thre. In the 6th Brown hit Lae and stole 2 sacks. Stutt walked and stole. Brown scored on a passed baîl and fast running and Stutt came in on a wild throw. Clem- ence walked but was out stealing to end the rally.
