District Soccer Schedule Opens Next Saturday ENNISKILLEN WILL PLAY REGI- MENT HERE--GENERAL MO- / TORS AT BOWMANVILLE The Oshawa and District Foot- ball League will open its schedule on Saturday of next week with En- niskillen playing the Ontario Coun- ty Regiment in Oshawa, Whitby at Solina and General Motors at Bow- manville, The two local teams have been greatly strengthened this year and they are figuring on being up near the top throughout the season. The Regiment should make a strong bid for the McLaughlin Cup. Sgt. Major Green has collected an aggregation of fine players who, with practice, will work well to- gether. Besides the stars of last year's eleven and a few of the Great War Veterans' snappy team he has sign- ed some newcomers who are report- ed to be of high calibre. Included in the new faces is a goalkeeper, who has located here and who will complete a strong defence. Last season the Soldiers played a good brand of soccer although winning very few games. The breaks were against them, otherwise they would have been numbered among the first four teams. However, with the line- up Maj. Green is able to place on the field this season, their progress will be well worth watching.

Papineauville, Labelle Co., Que. ay 5th (Special)--After suffering or ten years from various: forms of dney disease which included Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy and betes, Mr. Jules Labrosse, a well nown resident here, is now so far lecovered that he is singing the raises of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Dodd's Kidney Pills have render- ld me an immense benefit for which am happy," Mr. Labrosse says in elling his story. "I suffered for ten ears and am now very well.

The group are also planning in June to give a Garden Social, just as soon as weather permits, on the lawn at the church on Albert Street. Oshawa (Continued from page 4) ing of the great truths as enun- ciated by the Man of Galilee. Mr. McLaughlin stated that he felt very proud that the Town Council had granted, and the Board of Education decided to spend, $200,000 for the better education of the children of Oshawa. "If our country is to have a glorious future we must educate the children of the pre- sent," the speaker declared. He believed that from the great Anglo- Saxon race must come the help that was required to put the world on a safer and saner footing, to restore conditions in Europe back to normal. There was more than industrial de- velopment needed, for such a rest- oration; education must he given a greater place .in our country, and the portals of our gates closed against undesirabe aliens. With high ideals for the future, and our minds set on making the world a better place in which to live, we could look forward with -confidence looking for the realization of our ideals and the betterment of man- kind. At the beginning of his ad- dress Mr. McLaughlin told his hear- ers that he appreciated beyond words the honor done him and his brother on this occasion. He also paid tribute to Capt. Hezzlewood for his valuable service and wise counsel and sacrifice for the business with which he was for many years con- nected. A Clever Artist Mr. Arthur Delroy of New York, who was down on the programme for a "talk'", proved himself a very capable and unusual entertainer. For years Mr. Delroy was employed by a New York newspaper to investi- gate all kinds of mystifying per- formances and in-nine cases out of ten the magic or "physic" stunt turned out to be a bare-faced fraud. How many of these tricks were worked and how the public was fooled by them was explained and exposed. In addition, Mr. Delroy interspersed a really worth while address along constructive lines. His main thought was that we are what we determine we are going to be and that nothing so directly affects the physical well- being of an individual as a healthy mind. Several tests were made on men in the audience and the results appeared to be quite satisfactory as well as causing considerable amuse- ment. The gathering was brought to 2 close by the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Among the outside guests at the banquet were Capt. Oliver Hezzlewood, for many years actively connected with the McLaughlin business; Mr. Fred Hatch, veteran manufacturer of Whit- by, and Mr. Howard Blood, manager of the Canadian Products plant at Walkerville. SPORT COMMENTS Port Hope has five teams entered in its Town League so far. An or- Sanization 'meeting was held this week and officers elected. Oshawa, Lindsay, Peterboro, Lea- side and Bowmanville will sport new uniforms this season. A reception committee composed of a number of Port Hope's enthusiastic baseball fans assembled at the G.T.R. depot in that town last Sunday afte noon, it is reported, to meet the In- ternational Limited. But the pre- parations were quite unnecessary as the person, who was expected, did not arrive, He was supposed to be a clas- sy catcher and was booked to receive Mr. Deer's offerings in the Central League this year. Bowmanville Statesman: "Secre- tary Patterson has about all the play- ers he requires and has discontinued meeting trains. gue is an amateur organization. Oh! yes, about as amateur as some Toron- to O.H.A. teams. Bowmanville has gone baseball mad--girls and boys alike. We even saw Postmaster Kent warming up with the kids in the block." i The Central League opens two weeks from to-day with the local team away from home. Lindsay Post:There are 56 games in the first half of the Central League schedule. Oshawa should have a radio-phome record of the game they will have in Lindsay. The Greybirds already guarantee that Gallagher's Ponies will be vanquish- ed before 13 innings. this season. Lindsay Post: Jake "King" Sol- omon has organized a new league in Manvers and Emily. Old, Emily is represented by' the live little sporting village on Pigeon River. Jake is the father of the Central Ontario League,' of the Peterboro County U. F. O. League, and others. He will soon have as many leagues going as his namesake had wives. : | The Central Lea-| Six Pitchers Will Be Used In Belleville OVER SCORE OF PLAYERS SIGN CERTIFICATES--TRUNKS AFTER TITLE Ontario: --Twenty-one men sign- ed up and more to come--if they are good enough. That is the pros- perous condition of the Belleville Grand Trunk C. O. B. L. team at the moment, The club is well off in pitchers --six of them. Tommy Wilson, of Perth higned up last night and with him the others, most of whom have been in action here: Williams and Harry 'Smith, both southpaws; Holman, Joe Kelliher and Ferris, all port siders, Wilson also pitches with his right, That's a fair balf dozen, and while some of them may not "make good" they are all willing workers and a distinct asset to the team. There is less of the attitude that there are a few old timers who are the "whole works" this year than ever before. All are out to help the team and that's the spirit that won the blooming war. For catchers' there's Mills. who of course, is the main-stay in that position; but supposing he is unable to play, there is Keteheson and also Minette, .

The trees put out by | Mr. Stiner, some six years ago show | rema¥kabfe growth and have attain- | ed the height of nine feet in some cases, The party were then taken to the Pine Grove section where more re- forestation prospects were shown them and thence to Mr. H. H. Dew- art's place at "Brookdale", where another plantation has been started and which will in time be a splen- did forest. As an example of what it is hoped to accomplish with reforestation, while the party were on the fourth concession at Stiners the side road was seen to have been completely filled in with sand which had blown from the fields and Mr. Zavitz ex- plained that if the lands to the west and south, from which direction the prevailing winds blew, had been planted with pine a few years ago they would have stopped them in roads and fields, and the same con- ditions apply in a number of places in the township. In the evening quite a fair sized audience were present in the Music Hall and listened with keen interest to the lecture by Mr. A. H. Richard- son, of the Ontario Forestry Depart- ment, who has been engaged in the reforestation work for a number of years. The pictures shown were from different sections of the pro- vince, where conditions are the same if not a little worse than in this coun- try, and by the camera eye it was shown what a wonderful improve- ment can be made in the country by the expenditure of but very little work. Whole sections that were at one time blow sand are now beauti- ful groves and forests of trees and in most cases only twelve to fourteen years old. | not properly made.

When these are used the length of the swing and the pivot of the body are at thelr maximum, Some players take the club furth- er hack than others. The horizont- al is supposed to be the ideal posi- tion but it must be noted .that very few golfers stop their back swing at this point, It is impossible and in- deed inadvisable to he dogmatic in this point for every one must find out for himself what his own best hitting position is. A person with small hands and weak forearms will require a longer swing to develop the hit, than an- other stronger person, and one should be guided absolutely by his own physical characteristic as to! how far he takes the club back. As| ladies are generally physically weak- er than men they will require a lonzer swing as a rule. There are two parts to the swing, or at least two ways of viewing it, for the swing is always to be con sidered as a unity,--the are the club makes and the twist of the hody It 18- admitted now by the best author- ities that there should be no sway of the body and the most consistent performers are those who observe this idea. The body simply pivots TrHoMpsON, AMAYEUR CHAMPION Or CANADA. and should require no incre space! to execute the gwing than that need- ed at the address. I know of one instructor who in order to make it clear that there is | no sway in the up-swing makes his pupils swing without a club, with the right side close to a wall. 1 the side touches the wall the swing i If this example | were caried out further, so that an imaginary wall were placed at the left side, it should be possible to hit the ball without touching the wall with the left side. Of course after the ball is hit the hands travelling at so fast a clip will naturally pull the weight after them on to the left ioot, and in this way the imaginary wall will be touched. But with the expert players this movement is very small. This should make be- zinners pa{iSy and wonder for often times in thelr enthusiastic endeav- ors to follow through they hurl their bodies forward before the ball has been struck, which can result in nothing but disaster. In order to give a ball any great distance with the wooden clubs there must be considerable pivoting. To prove this one has simply to re- strict the body absolutely and hit the ball by use of the hands only. The hands cannot get into a hitting position and the temptation is to sway the body. Now the twist of the body and the distance the club goes back are not necessarily de- pendent on each other. A good ex- ample of this is Miss Leitch who takes the club little, if any, past the horizontal and still has a free and pronounced a body twist as any- one in the game. This among other things is not the least of the reas- ons for her great length from tee. The indifferent player may and frequently does take the club much further past the horizontal but has quite a restricted body pivot... As ing 9 ft. x 12 ft, 6ft. x 9 ft. Phone 956W, W. A.

Shaughnessy. who was in Peterboro two years ago, also put in an appear- ance and Collins, Soden and Dugan were on the field. Jake put them through a good stiff workout and the bunch showed up well... A City League team worked out with them, Despite reports that the Petes would not be strong this year, Jake's team will surely be real contenders for the championship. Essentials said before the weaker player, even though his body movement may be as mueh; will require to take the club further back than his stronger brother. So long as one always has control of the club, regardless of the distance it goes buck, no one is just- ified in saying that there is an over swing. In the well executed swing if a line is drawn through the ball to the hole, and extended, the club head wild pass inside this line on the back swing and also after hitting the ball. Of course with slice and pull this will not be the case. If the swing is thought of as an are it will help to make it rhythmical. The whole swing should be conceived as one movement, It should not be built up in parts. One should per- sistently think of getting maximum results with minimum efforts. Above. all preserve an even balance for without this successful golf impossible. Anything which makes balancing easier is to be recommended. Every one will not attain this end in the same way. But if the above general principles are followed, it will be less difficult than if they are broken. In taking the club back, beginners is are often advised to throw their arms well out from the body--the idea is) to get freedom into the swing. This is apt to cause the body to sway if indulged in too much. It must be | remembered that the blow in golf | is delivered from the inside, as can | readily be proven by mction pictures of players in action. The arms | should not hug the body too much | in the address nor be thrown too far | out in the back swing the right el-| to the hody. The pace of the swing will usually be in keeping with the type oi the player. A high strung temperment-, al player will naturally make his shots quicker than the dour, phleg- | matic person. Not every one can | play his shots as quickly as Duncan | and for the vast majority to attempt | to do so would destroy their games. Taking the club back should not be (as some one remarked) a funer- al rite, nor a music hall trick, but something between. The great thing is to take the club back naturally. In connection with the drive I re- call a verse and I pass it on as a gem, not of poetry but of golf wisdom. "Do not try to over do it, Hold your driver fairly slack, And if you press, you'll deeply rue And remember slowly back." I am quite sure that a great num- ber have pushed the last line to absurdity, until as Sir Walter Simp- (Continuea on page 8)) It's Good --for your shoes! Give them frequent applications "Nugget."
