C, W, Detenbeck, vice-president of the club during the season just closed, was elected unanimously to the president's chair, succeeding W. J, Trick and the Sther executive officers were al so y A dozen members of the club took advantage of an opportunity offered for discussion of matters in the past, present and future, The high lights on the season's bowling including, of course; the visit of the British Bowl- oe, were touched upon by nearly all of these gentlemen, and it was an oft-expressed opinion that the week- ly 'promiscuous games, played on Friday and Saturday, had lent a new lease of life to the club by awaken- ing interest in not only new members, but in older members as well, Prizes were awarded in these contests, and last night they were presented to thirty different winners in the club; The British Bowlers, as it was said by many members of the club, had expressed themselves while in Oshawa that this boasts one of the best greens which they had encount- ered on this side of the Atlantic, and that the entertainment provided here was among the best received by their party. As a result, Oshawa has re- ceived much favorable advertising in the old land, and Canadian bowlers in general rose another notch in. the estimation of the British men, resolution of appreciation to R. §, McLaughlin for his very generous share in the entertainment of the bowlers was unanimously passed, and appreciation to the city officials was also expressed for the hearty wel- come which they accorded to the vi- siting rinks, . The matter of choosing a site for a new bowling green and club prop- erty was broached and occupied the attention of the meeting for some little time, The property which the club is mow using is owned by the city, and seyeral members bad heard rumours to the effect that it might be required for some civic purpose in the near future. The concensus of opinion was, however, that there was no immediate need for a move, but that it would be wise for members to keep the matter in mind, for at some Aid date the premises will no doubt be required by the city for some other purpose, and a new bowling green site will be needed, The reports received from the secretary and treasurer were very encouraging, and showed evidences of a successful season, C.

Treasurer H.- M. Black showed in his report that the club would just about break even in fi- nances this year, but when it was considered that indebtedness hanging over from last year had been retired, his report was indeed encouraging.

Emms was with the Na- tionals last season on loan from the Maroons and was the regular left wing player for the Nationals, but he was recalled and has been filling a substitute roll with the Gerard men this season and has been playing very good hockey, But with the lifting of Hooley Smith's suspension tonight Emms can he spared and Manager Gerard feels that another year in the minors will do the Barrie boy a lot of good. 31 DEAD IN ORPHANAGE FIRE (Contnued from page 1) death appeared to have been due to asphyxiation, Fire, which swept with devastating suddenness through the east wing of the structure, found the children and nuns in bed. Eighteen bodies were recovered a few hours after the structure had been destroyed and when the ruins cooled firemen early today found additional bodies, Few of the hodies showed slgns of having been burned, The ildren, it is believed, were suffocated in their mad endeavor to reach sofety. Most of the children are orphans and had been asleep for nearly three hours when the flames began to sweep the old wing of the institution. So rap- idly did the flames spread that de- spite every effort by the Nuns little could he done to rescue the poor youngsters, many of whom were so overcome by sleep that they could 3 5 :| SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S ? 1 That never in the history of 1 in Welsh's Parlors. 5 weekly games and the financial gatisfaction that without co-operation, morrow night to play the first any season heen crowned with {4 oi A concluded last night when the annual meeting took place Numerous were the things that contributed to the splendid summer, most prominent among them being 3 visit of the British bowlers to Oshawa during their tour; the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club has such success as the 1927 one the affairs. It was with m source of President W, J. Trick handed over the reins 3 of office to C. W. Dentenbeck, the vice-president, The meeting was an interesting one the feature, apart from the election of officers, tion of prizes won in the different contests during the summer, There were some thirty odd winners and this number slope ac- counts for the splendid harmony that prevails in the club, for the various been run off as well as they were. The Oshawa Intermediate Hockey Club goes to Peterboro to- in every respect in that was the presenta- tournaments would nog have of a series of home and home hardly have realized what was going on. The scene was one of the most vending ever witnessed in this city. Rescuers fearlessly entered the burning building and returned with childyen, still half asleep and not be- ing fully aware of the danger in which they had been. Many child- ren themselves jumped from windows and older children came forth from the burning building, drigging youn- ger children along with them, All last night and this morning the local morgue was a pitiful sight. Lit- tle bodies were all laid on slabs and frantic mothers were there in hun- dreds to try to identify the children. Only two children had been identi- fied up to eight o'clock this morn- ing. One was believed to be the daughter of Mrs. Albert Racine, of Canardiere Road, and another is thought to be the daughter of Amos Marcoux, but the mother's address is unknown, There are still about twenty of the 371 children who were living at the institution missing, and searhes are being continued all today among the ruins of the old wing of the building in the hope of finding them. The cause of the fire is unknown. According to a nun who was station- ed in the older part of the building, shortly before hali past ten last night there was an oder of smoke, and the children were awakened at once. 'Younger orphans had gone to bed at 7.30 and older ones at 9.30, Rev. Mother St. Hildephonse, who was living in the old building, was first to notice odor of smoke. She immediately ran to give alarm, run- ning through building calling out, "fire, fire." Louis Turgcon was pass- ing before the building at the time, and he saw smoke. Hc sounded the alarm which brought men and equip- ment from a nearby station. On their arrival however, general aiarm was put in. Bringing all men and equip- ment of the district. Flames spread so rapidly that all efforts to organize saicty measures were useless. Seventy or so children sleeping in the old wing were at the mercy of the flames. Uniortunate infants, the majority of them or- phans, could be heard crying for help hut most of their erics were in vain. It became very soon a physical im- nossibility to enter building and in ess than two hours it was a mass of ruins, In a new part oi the build- ing, where over two hundred chil- dren were sleeping, Rev. Mother St, Romuald, superior of the hospice, organized the children into sections and they marched out in splendid or- der and without panic. By hali past cleven last night, the area at the foot of Crown street bhe- came the centre of frantic women, many of whom fainted. "Where is my child? is he dead?" On every side could be heard this plea in passionate tones from throats of mothers who were made with anxiety for fate of their fatherless children, The 371 children living at hospice were all children who had lost father, mother or belonged to poor families which was unable to care for them. After the warehouse across the street from the hospice was filled with children, others were removed to Stroch Hotel, ever room of which was placed at disposal of sisters. Here, some frantic scenes were again enacted, and when this building and tobacco works became too small to cope with crowd of parents seeking their children, Good Shepher Con- vent was utilized as an emergency hos- pital and some children were remov- ed there. It was after midnight before flames were under control. Then, firemen were able to enter ruins in some sec- tions in endeavor to rescue children unable to get out of building when fire began. Pitiful sights met eyes of those whe entered ruined edifice. Some of bedrooms were untouched by fire but on beds were little lifeless corpses, unfortunate youngsters hav- ing been apparently choked to death by smoke. Although a ¢rowd of doctors en- tered ruins with intention of trying artificial respiration it was soon found that children who had been 'ess fortunate than others were be- yond human aid. Asphyxiation had done its work and in addition, bodies were coated with ice, Very soon, this section of the building was a mass of flames which spread with alarming rapidity long before firemen, Nuns and passers by had been able to undertake any ei- fective rescue work, ~ While the building was a roaring furnzce, Nuns, firemen and people who had gathered at the scene en- tered the building to rescue children who were known to be still there in large numbers. Rescuers entered by windows and were not expected by witnesses to return. So terrible did flames appear. Many of the rescuers however, were successful in finding children 'and in being able to bring them to safety. It was only in the older part of the building that the tragedy oceurr- ed. This was built in 1823 and ser- ved at first as a hospital for sailors, Children on new building filed out in perfect order and there were na lives lost there. Many stories of heroism were told, one fireman was reported to have rescued fifteen children nates peated trips up and down ladder™ire- men threw children and Nuns irom windows into life nets and a human chain passed these victims across street to shelter of warehouse. Fire which began in the basement presumably through an explosion of furnace shot Slams up central flue creating draft and carrying fire th®ugh the old building phi a the roof. Rescue work was stopped when the walls collapsed. Today, the structure which formed the cast wing of the group of build: ings was a heap of ruins, 1 he new section was of fire proof construction and was practically uns damaged. Police reported that the majority of the children were in dors mitories in the section which fell a prey to flames. The fire resulted in the hasty mobilization of fire and police staffs from all sections of the city and a great crowd collected, including the frantic parents of many children. A practically distressing episode occurred when firemen who first ens tered the hall found a tall Christmas tree decorated and ready to be lights ed for pleasure of the children dure ing what was to have been happy Christmas season. Dense clouds of smoke hampered rescuers who had to grope in the darkness for youngsters in their beds. In one section of the dormitory they found grouped together the bodies of sixteen children who had been as» phyxiated. This group accounted for the majority of bodies at the mors gue, While death had been due to asphyxiation some of the bodies were so badly burned as to make identis fication difficulty. Pullmotors were some children cious, used to revive carried out unconse TT ---- TOBIE, R S Stocks FoR. ONG & Private Wire System 11 King Street East, Oshawa Phones 143 and 144 S.
