At consider- able expense which will be shared by the parks commission, a permanent diamond is being laid out for the proposed league baseball game be- tween Oshawa and Peterboro. Ow- ing to the ever-increasing popularity of Lakeview Park this improvement has become an absolute necessity. A new roadway is being laid out just north of the buffalo enclosure to enable cars to reach the parking field along the north and west of the athletic field. This suggestion will relieve the congested parking space now being used. These undertakings together with the announced calvacade of 350 cars which will accompany Mr. Bennett from Toronto, rather indicates that a record crowd may be expected to visit Oshawa on Saturday. Apart from the public addresses, whereby this section of the comniunity will be enabled for the first time to meet and hear the Hon, R. B. Bennett and the Hon, John S. Martin, a sports rogram, under the auspices of the acDonald-Cartier Club, embraces many features of an attractive na- ture. Naturally the expense to so large an undertaking will be considerable, The amplifier, several bands, the league baseball game and the changes in the grounds, can- not be secured without a consi derable outlay to meet which it is expected the income from the sale of the Bennett button and the collec- tion for the baseball game will be devoted. It is quite evident from this that all roads will lead to the Motor City on the 21st and Lakeview Park will become the mecca for thousands from all over this and adjoining counties, FINED $10 FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Jas.
