PIRATES DEFEAT NEWCASTLE, 6-1 Newcastle Uses Three Pitchers While Hooper Goes Route for Pirates Bowmanville, July 13.--Bow- manville Pirates again showed their superiority in the Big Four League when they journeyed to Newcastle and handed them a 6 to 1 defeat, much to their chagrin. the Pirates and he turned in a won- derful game, The Newcastle lads led by their slugger, Caverly, never got a hit that took them past first base. On thé other hand, the Pi- rates banged out four two-baggers. Those responsible were Hooper, Os- borne, Cameron and Piper. New- castle found it necessary to use three moundsmen, but it was to no advantage. Moise, their regular pitcher, started but gave way to Caverly, their 'old standby, who ly lasted a short while when Walton, a comparatively new man to appear in that position for Netv- castle, took his place. He could not stop' the onslaught of the Pi- rates, as they still kept the pace. Percy Lunn's men have a vision of the championship, but there are still two other, teams in the league and they intend to have something to say in the matter. This was the last time that these two teams clash this season, at least as far as the league is concerned and there was a large crowd out to see the game. It was a very sorry lot from Newcastle that saw their team lose.

BOYS BEAT OSHAWA TEAM Oshawa Motors Team Is Forced to Accept 15-8 Defeat Bowmanville, July 13.--Local fans had another chance to see a smart game of softball when the Motors team of the local softball league played an exhibition game with a team from the Motors of Oshawa. The locals won after a real game by a rather large score of 15 to 8. The score does not, however, indicate the play as 1t was real even throughout the game, The local boys, however, came through and showed the fans what they were made of. Lunney twirled a lovely game and received plenty of support. Tate, pitching for the visitors, knew how to handle the ball and had the locas under control for a considerable part of the game. The line-ups were: -- Oshawa Motors Tate Lunney Stokes catcher Hooper Cale 1st base Chartrand Hugary 2nd base Witheridge George 3rd base Roegnik Wylie short stop Martin Vanluy L. field Bates C. field Clark Conliff Costella R. field Osborne Position pitcher The new pumper of the Oshawa Fire Department, ordered by the city council when the necessity for additional equipment was seen by the fire committee has arrived in the city and makes the second piece of pumping apparatus and the fourth truck for. the depart- ment. It is of modern type in ev- ery detail and is fully equipped to handle every emergency. The pumper has been given the once- over by General Motors as to its mechanism and has been. lodged in the fire station and is now ready for use when the occasion arises. Built in Woodstock at the Bickle pliéit and bearing a General Mot- ors of Canada engine and chassis, the truck represents the best ser- viceable fire fighting apparatus of modern use. In construction it appears very like the other pump- er that the deuartment possesses but it carries in addition to splen- did hose compartments a special portable wet battery . searchlight. The necessity of such a light has been seen in other instances, said Chief Elliott this morning, and the light is regarded as a valuable ad- dition to the equipment. 600 Gallons Per Minute The entire truck is painted in red with green and gold trim- mings, the nickel work also be- ing an exceptional feature. Al- though the truck is guaranteed for fast locomotion the apparatus em- bodied in the. truck for pumping water is splendid. When the mo- tor is working at an ordinary pace, the water attains a heavy pressure and sends a stream estimated at 600 Tmperial gallons a minute New Pumper of Oshawa Fire Department Given Thorough Test by Chief Last Night Stream Is Pumped 25 Feet Over Genosha Hotel by New Equipment, Which Delivered 667 {Gallons Per Minute in Test--Carries Fannon Generator for Fighting Large Oil and Gasoline Fires, Oshawa Being One of First Cities in Dominion to Instal This Equipment through the hose nozzles. "It certainly has splendid deliv- ery," stated the chief to a Times repesentative. There are four different at- tachments' for connecting up four hose lines to the pump, he said, which is another fine feature of the truck. In the main body of the truck is space for 1200 feet of hose. Three hundred and fifty feet of inch and a half hose may also be carried and 200 feet of chemical hose is also accommodat- ed. "A 60 gallon Booster tank 1s also carried. Fight Oil Fires A new Fomon generator on the truck is used to fight oil fires, and Fomon powder, the chemical util- ized by the generator in large quantities, has been purchased to be on hand if needed. A half ton is already at the station. The Oshawa department is one of the first in Canada to instal this equip- ment, which will handle even large gas tank fires. Successful tests were carried out yesteday afternoon and last night with the new pumper. A long stream was sent over the Memor- fal park in the afternoon and the apparatus was adjudged to be in perfect working order. Later in the evning two streams were sent over the new Genosha Totel and were seen to rise more than 25 feet above the building. An aver- age of 667 gallons per minute was pumped which was regarded by the chiéf as splendid. The hose were attached to city hydrants. Hundreds of spectators lined the streeets as the tests were be- ing carried out, and comment was decidedly favorable. Chief Elliott supérvised the tests. Because his farm is about to be- come active with haying operations during the next few days, Geprge Honeywell, of lot 12, con. 4, Hamil- ton township was remanded for sen- tence in city police court here today by Magistrate Hind. Honeywell ap- peared in court charged with being intoxicated in charge of a car and Hay Crop Pressing, Culprit Remanded to Harvest it since the only penalty is a term of jail, the magistrate took the inter- est of the man and his family to heart, and the man being able to pro- cure bail, allowed him to go back to his farm and gather in the hay which is sadly in need of cutting. The man will appear in a week to hear the sentence of the court. Latest Financial News NEW YORK Stock High Low Amer.

LEFT OSHAWA 40 YEARS AGO Veteran of Fenian Raid, Now 79, Writes to Times From Grand Rapids Grand Rapids, Mich., July 10, 1929, Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa, Ont. Dear Sir:--I noticed in a recent is- sue of The Times that the Ontario Government. has passed an Old Age Pension Law, and it set me to won- dering if T am eligible. I meet all the requirements but 1 have been away from Canada over forty years, but have not taken out citizen papers over here. I drifted into Oshawa away back in '67, a short time after the Fenian Raid. I was on the front in that fiasco with the 15th Belleville Batta- lion. 1 joined up with the old 34th shortly after my arrival there and for vears was a bugler or a band mem- ber. 1 remember when The Reformer was founded. I think its first Editor was a Mr. Brock, who commemor- ated an all night political session in the old drill shed with a bit of dog- gerel that still lingers with me, to wit-- "1, DeGibbs, am a Norman bold, Who Same with William the Con- ueror, We robbed England of lands gold And much that did belong and to her." Those were the good old days, when politics were politics, and to be 4 member of the other party was to be red-inked as a Hun or some- thing worse, and the tragedy of it was that its best citizens were ar- rayed in hostile camps that vented their animosity in acts that all but bankrupted the town. Today is my birthday and I wonder if any of the boys that went to camp at Niagara or Holland Landing are yet on the muster roll. Many of then I know have met the call and passed over the divide. Shades of Alf Long, Matt Meek, Charlie Fields, I salute you! But to the original question, information will' be thankfully ceived, any re- Respectfully yours, A. FALKEL (Still a Canadian) Mr. Falkel would not be eligible for the Old Age Pension as one of the stipulations is. that. applicants must have resided in Oshawa con- tinuously for the past twenty years.-- Ed. 'ORANGEMEN PARADE TO LOCAL CENOTAPH July 13.--Yester- prior to entraining for Port Hope where the Orange walk was held the local lodge of the Orange Society, Bowmanville Lodge, L.O.L. 2384, paraded to the local cenotaph, The local boys who celebrated the Battle of the Boyne were out in their colours of Pur- ple and Orange, with the local fife and drum band in the lead. At the cemotaph two minutes silence was observed in reverence to those who sacrificed their lives in the Great War. After the two minutes' xi- lence, Rev. George Mason led. in prayer. The lodge then paraded to the C.P.R. station where they en- trained for Port Hope. Bowmanville, What is said of one who is slow to anger? Answer, read--Prov. 16:32.

GIVEN 14 DAYS IN JAIL John McGnigan was sentenced to 14 days in jail, and in default of not paying the court costs of $15.65 was ordered to serve an additional seven days, when he pleaded guilty before Magistrate Hind in city police court this morning to a charge of being intoxicated in charge of a car. He also pleaded guilty to having liquor illegally and was fined $100 and costs or three months in jail. McGnigan was apprehended by Highway Traffic officer Sid Hilliard in East Whitby township. IS STEADY WORKER In a report in yesterday's issue of The Times regarding charges of false declaration and false pre- tences against John West, the im- pression was given that West had taken a holiday partly on the strength of the loan obtained on a motor car, for which he had not paid, The Times has been informed this morning by West's employer that he is a very steady worker, and, that he was working steadily up to the time of his going to camp with the Ontario Regiment, and immediately on his return reported for work again and was working at his usual occupation at the time of his arrest. As stated in yesterday's paper, he pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was remanded for sentence until next Friday. DEATH OF CHARLES BUTTARS Bowmanville, July 15.--The death occurred at Bowmanville hospital on Thursday evening of Charles Buttars, 49, of Hamilton. The deceased was well known in Bowmanville. He was a cousin of J. Carruthers, Queen Street.

TIMES TEAM WANTS ANOTHER GAME HERE Bowmanville, July 13.--After beating the Front street team by such a handy score the other night, the Times team in the Oshawa soft- ball league would like to arrange an exhibition game with the lead- ing Motors team here. The Times feel confident that they can score a victory over the Motors, but that does not seem so plausible as the Motors have not lost a game this year and none of the scores have been what wau would call close. The Motors have a strong line-up and if they would like to enteptain the Oshawa boys, it can be easily arranged through the Staff reporter.
