' 12,--The Red: Aces of Oshawa winning streak when they defeated the Tuxis 'boys of the town leagie by a score of 12-4. The game was an exhibition affair and played as the result of a challenge issued by the Red Aces to a game with any team of the town league, A fair crowd were in attendance and en- joyed the game. The Aces started out strong in the initial frame and the first seven men up scored. Right there the game was won and +lost, the winners only obtaining 5 more runs to the locals 4, After that disastrous first inning the Tuxis boys tightened up and if anything played superior ball to that of the visitors'. The Aces went out in quick succession in the second, scored one run in the third on a walk and a two base hit by Wil- son, were held scoreless in the fourth, secured four runs in the fifth while in the sixth the first taree men were retired in short order, The Tuxis boys went scoreless in the. first two innings due to the clever pitching of Whitely who struck out two in the first, three in the second and one in the third. Wilson made the first counter for the Tuxis in the third, In the fourth, Magill replaced Whitely in the box for the Aces. The Tuxis tailed to score in the fourth but solved Magill's delivery in the fifth for three runs. This com- pleted the locals scoring as the batters in the sixth failed to reach first, It was during the sixth that the feature play of the game took vlace, when Boyce, who plays first for the Aces pulled a clever double play, With a man running to sec- ond, Boyce nabbed a hot liner and quickly touched first to retire both runners, The Aces put it over the Tuxis boys with 15 hits to their 4. The former making their hits to count for 12 runs while the howe team managed to secure 4. \ Since the Red Aces have now de- feated both the Tuxis boys and the Estrads of the town league it is left for the Sea Fleas to answer the challenge and save the reputa- tion of the league.

This ties up the final with each team having won. two games. Tonight will sec the final and as there is not tnuch to choose between the two there should be some real ball. The winners of the fingl will play Eben- ezer, winners of the Darlington Lea- gue for the Canadian Bank of Com- though, not so fast and interesting as the game previous to it, never the less, provided plenty of thrills, Both crews scored. two runs ifn the innings and in the second failed to complete the di ¢ which looked as if it was going to be a very close game. But in the third Goodyear be- n @o take things into their own Bands and. scored four and regeated it in the next innings. In the last vi- sit to the plate Goodyear got com- pletely away, adding six te, their score and coming out on top of the 16 10 8 game.: The cause of the Whiz downfall was the poor, fielding and amount of runs given away might have saved them the game, The game tomght should prove the tit-bit of the whole season. Murphy scored his re- gular homer and James scored his first homer for a long time. Moofcraft also brought in a homer, The teams: Whiz Position soodyear Large 1st base S.

Mr. Harden presented the request 'Tha board decided to grant $10, instea of $20 as requested. Classes Discussed The question of moving the en- trance class of the 'Brock strée. school to King street was discuss- ed. On the advice of Mr. Sennett it was decided to drop the matter for the present to see how matters at the Brook street school would work out.

HERBERT MORTLOCK Daily Times OPENS TOMORROW: PROSPECTS G00D That This Will be Banner' PROGRAM EXCELLENT Many Outstanding Features Provided for Fair Visitors (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 12.--~Tomor- row sees the opening of what is ex- pected with the co-operation and enthusiasm of the whole commun- ity at large to be Bowmanville's greatest fair. With favorable wea- ther there is no reason at all why this should not be the biggest event of the year. The Agricultural So- alety have done everything possible to make this the banner year since thejr inauguration and with this view in mind have very appropri- ately named it Expansion Year, Seven o'clock Friday morning will see the grounds open for the reception of exhibits. All exhibits in the following classes must be in their correct places by 11 o'- clock when the judges will cow- mence their duties. Poultry, Dairy and Apiary pro- duce, grain and seed, fruit, veget- ables, floral exhibits, ladies' dept., domestic manufacture," fine arts, domestic science. , | Open at 7 p.m. At seven o'clock in the evening all departments in main buildings will be open for inspection as will be the Poultry Building. At this R [time also the interesting part uw the proceedings will begin first with the Old Time Fiddlers' con- test which should attract a lot of attention as one of these coniesis drew' a huge crowd at the Canadian 'National Exhibition in Toronto. A school children's musical contest, a {new feature this year, will be worth | while heazing and the prizes in this amount to $45. The Ontario Kegi- (Band of Oshawa will furnish an excellent program which will be of interest to all. and sundry, espécl- ally those who have heard this band and can speak of the fine en- tertainment supplied by. them on 'various occasions in the town.

Saturday's Program Saturday, the main day of tne fair, the grounds will be open to the public throughout the aay and the animal exhibits will be judged, commencing at 12.30 sharp and all exhibiting in this section should see that their show animals are in their right quarters in plenty or time. The Times knows of a case of a local man who had finer cauli- flowers than any at the big Ex. in Toronto, and was told so by ine judges, but they arrived too late and received no prize and anyway punctuality is a great virtue. In the afternoon there will place a novelty for the fair in the way of a Pony Musical Chair competition which will be followed by the main event of the day. Under the spon- soring of the newly formed HBow- manville Driving Club the trials of speed will climax the already busy fair and prizes to the value of $300 will draw some of the best horses in the surrounding country. The whole community should be on hand to witness this the "Sport of Kings" which somehow gives one a peculiar thrill as the thorough- breds, hecds forward and every muscle taut, strain to beat their rivale to the winning post. The a1- ternoon will not be without music as the organization will 4gain be on hand to ray it with music. As a finale to the main events there will be a parade of prize- winning ani- mals before the assembled crowds and as the best of each kind pass, one is able to reason Why the an- nual fair is so important: to the community and the high standards it sets by competition which is the finest thing imaginable to better any kind of business. The Expansion Year program will be brought to an end with the pres- entation by the Avon Players of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," in the opera house at eight o'clock.
