Special credit is due the local feam as they entered the contest without their regular line up and played against two very strong 'Toronto teams. The first game played was with the Parkettes of the Kew Beacn gofthall league, Toronto. The game was exceedingly close all through and the Parkettes showed them- selves to be first class players aud a bard team to beat. However, the Rovers by consistent playing and by clever batting won out by the score of 10 to 7. To the delight of the huge crowd of spectators the final game pro- vided lots of excitement and thrills and took ten innings to decide the winners, the Rovers coming out on top with a 17 to 16.score. The Cee Bees, the vanquished team, also of the Kew Beach softball league, and an intermediate team of hign standing, proved a hard team ro overcome. The Cee Bees played consistent first class softball ail through the game and the local girls certainly deserve high praise for the manner in which the game was played and won. After holding the Toronto team scoreless, Thelma Parker scored the winning run when Whitby went to bat in the tenth.

Telephones--Office, 587; REPRESENTATIVE--RICHARD COWAN EXAMPLE OF POOR SPORTSMANSHIP Player Struck Umpire Dur- ing Ball Game at Orono (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, August 0--One of the poorest cases of sportsmanship occurred during the baseball game at Orono on Friday night. The game was_fairly well under way When it began to get dark: 'It wis fairly hard for the batters to discern the ball in the dusk and even the cat- chers had a hard time perceiving it. The umpire however refused to call the game against the wishes of a number of the players. It got so that the catcher when he caught the ball would state whether it was a ball or strike. The umpires decision would coincide with that of the cat- chers generally, Then the catchers began to call them all strikes. With Orono in to bat, the Bowmanville boys grew disgusted with the way the game was proceeding and one walked in to the umpire and asked him whether he was going to call the game or not. The umpire refused and the result was that he réceived a blow in the face which was followed by several more from different members of the team. It took considerable time be- for the rumpus was straightened out. The locals have been holding a grudge against that particular um- pire for some time on account of the tactics 'that he had been using during some of the games. There is a feeling that he was wrong in not calling the game as it was practi- cally impossible to play the game owing to the darkness. The players howeve; were mare in the wrong by | striking ,the umpire. This thing which was indeed poor sportsman- ship will not be allowed in future games or such players using these tactics will not be allowed to take part in any contests, state several officials of the Big Four loop, The game will be played over again with neutral umpires. GARDEN PARTY WAS | = A GREAT SUCCESS! 45 St. Joseph's s Church Event Held Yesterday Was Well Patronized (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 6.--The an- nual garden party -put on by St. Joseph's Church last night was a great success. All day yesterday and until late in the evening, the crowds packed the grounds at the corner of Liberty and King streets, and the attractions were many and varied. First, a good time was' promised to all that attended and the promise was upheld. Then, too, the Oshawa Regimental Band was there. This band soon played into the hearts of the Bowmanville pec- ple. With a concert in the after- noon and another in the evening, the local people had plenty of mu- sic, and good music, too. Throughout the afternoon and evening there were many games and booths attracting a great deal of attention around the lot. For- tune wheels, and games of skill were the order of the evening. The big show was the one put on by the Dixie entertainers, featuring the Black Knights.

One oc curred on Saturday afternoon, and the other three yesterday, In spife of the wet and slippery condition of tho pavement on Sunday there were no accidents reported. IFortunalely the accidents that did occur were all minor ones. On Saturday after noon while proceeding west on King street near the corner - of Liberty street, a car stopped suddenly 'with- out showing a hand or giving any idea to the cars behind that it was geing to stop. The car immediately behind it ran into it and a truck behind the second car ran luto it, Fortunately none of the cars were going at a fast rate of speed due tc the slippery pavement and little ¢amage was done to either of the cars, Collisions On Monday The first accident on Monday was at the corner of King and Temper- ance streets when two cars eollided with little damage being done to either of the cars. The second ac- cident was on Liberty street when in turning out to avoid a boy who was crossing the street a car cunld not swing back onto the right ride of the road quick enough and as a result a car coming in the oppnasite direction was side-swiped. The ac cident was entirely unavoidabie us the boy appeared on the road in a second and it was either a case .of hit the boy or turn out to side swipe the car. As neither of the cars were travelling at a fast rate ofspeed the latter choice was made. Little damage was done to either car. \ Bad Mir Up The third accident was rather a strange one. While proceeding east about a mile west of here a car cut in on another one and then stopped up to see if any damage was done. Rastus Johnston, Sunshine Sammy, and Jolly Jack put on a rollicking side-aching series of acts that kept the people doubled up with merri- ment every time they appearea. 1.0- cal people will look forward to the next visit of these colored gentle- men. Supper wag served on the lot and what a supper it was. Everybody had al Ithey wanted and then there was plenty left over. This party which has every year heen a great social evzat in Bowmanville, at- tracted the largest crowd since it was started a number of years ago. A -- The first car stopped so quickly that the second one ran into it and then switched out in front to eame to a stop in front of the first who moved on again to hit the second car a third time. Fortunately bent fen- ders was about the extent of the damage but neither drivers would ad- mit their guilt. This is the first time in a num- ber of week-ends that there have been any accidents in this district and so far they have dll been minor ones. HIGHWAY, BEACH AND PARK WERE BUSY ON HOLIDAY Continual Stream of Cars \ Passed Through The Town (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, August 6--The holi- day week-end was a busy one on the highway. Early Saturday after- noon the week-end tourists from Toronto and Hamilton and other large cities west of here began pass through. It was one continual | stream of cars from early afternoon to well on in the evening. It was the same again last might only in the opposite direction, The cars started coming back late in the ternoon and kept up until a late hour last night.

The game, although nothing to. mention in the matter of speed. was very interest- in, and gave the spectators ample op- portunity to voice their feelings. The score of 17-5, .in favor of the local girls, does not give a true conception of the ability of the visitors. Base-line girls showed evidence of being able to play a much better brand of ball than was displayed on Friday evening, -and it is quite pos- sible that at the next meeting they will hate no difficulty in taking the lead. Toronto Motorists Had Narrow Escape Pickering. August 3.--The business section of the town was the scene of a motor accident on Friday evening in which fortunately no one was seri- ously injured.

One theory upon which New York police were working was that it was over the rice liquor trade which was said to have become quite profitable with the deteriorating quality of other bootleg liquor. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 6.--Re- quest for police protection was made by representatives of both the On Leong and the Hip Sing Tongs in St. Paul in Minneapolis today.

Fifteen minutes later he fought his way through the thick undergrowth of the swamp and located the party. Two hours later Oremeus who had been joined bv Patrick Kennedy, a brother of Ter- ence Kennedy, one of the lost child. | ren, and Steve Bedard, father of the Bedard members of the party, ¢ their party from the bush just as the headlights of the car of a party of newspapermen flashed around a bend in the road. The car took the part to North Bav where an smpromp'u banquet was held. Perhaps the most joyful mem- ber of the party was Carmen Be- dard, known as "Kitty who laugh- ed, joked and cried and' prayed al- ternately throughout the long or- deal. She was convinced beyond a doubt that they would still be wan- dering hopelessly in the swamp lands if they had not prayed. Mrs. Sparling realized at 7.15 p. m. they were lost, and at once herded her little flock around her, "called the roll," and found taney were all present.
