Wm, Elliott, who, | / a in addition to looking after the maintenance of the law and order in Whitby, is very interested in boys' sports and particularly in the local baseball teams, got excited at Saturday's game between the Juve- niles and Gananoque. He got so excited that he kept urging one of the runners to steal home, in just those words. Needless to say the runner did steal home and by so doing scored the game-winning run, late in the last inning. But the Chief does not want his actions to be misconstructed. He has already received comments on the words he used, it being suggested that those were hardly the words for a police chief to use, especially with youngsters present, He insists that in that particular instance the words were quite fitting, although in any other field of endeavour he is, all against stealing. - JOHNSTON FUELS eo WHITBY eo ARE NOW READY FOR BUSINESS Phone your order at once for good hard coal Allan Johnston, Prop.
