Ketch Visiting Here Had Crossed Oceans A tubby little sailing craft no longer than an ordinary sail boat but standing higher out of the water put inio Whitby Harbor Sat- urday morning.

Anchored off-shore Saturday the crew got busy sprucing up their craft for a visit to fhe big city, They were applying paint and straightening - it up after a long cruise. Owners Mr. and Mrs, Harry Etheridge are two English adven- turers who left their homeland in June 1947, with two 'companions, who stayed in the West Indies.

High Water In Lake Ontario Will Recede A prediction that high water along Lake Ontario shore line would ,soon recede was made to The Sentinel-Star, Cobourg, last week by George B. Langford, geologist, Department of Planning and Development, Toronto. "This last six-year period of high water has been phenomenal," he said. "But according to our records since the 1860's there has been a like rise and fall through the years. The daily newspapers have expres- sed many opinions about the high water, but such are mostly er- roneous." "The hydro development and change of course of waters in the Lake Superior area, and the Chi- cago problem have little effect comparatively on the rise and fall of the water levels in the lake. The greatest factors are rainfall and evaporation, the humidity, wind and temperature. In rainfall and evaporation, as much as 20 per cent of the resulting flow could be surface water, finding its way to the lake.' Mr. Langford is making. .a de- tailed report of soil erosion along the lake front. NOW PLAYING Last Complete Show At 8.20 CK AGAIN! THATJ NTIS TeAm- Tua ZANY Jor!

The score of 18-2 perhaps bodes ill for the lo- cals who meet Cobousg here again tonight in Whitby town park at six o'clock, but manager Bill Brown thinks otherwise. Having won their first round of the playdowns, Whit- by still has a chance to take the sec- ond and third games of the current series, Little spectator-interest has been shown so far this year in soft- ball here but tonight's game should be a classic battle worth watching. At Saturday's tilt in Cobourg, manager Ed Haynes' boys started the scoring in the first inning and kept it up right through. Don Platt pitched a six-~hit game while Whit- by's Taffy Mayne gave up 18 to his opponents. Both Whitby's runs came in the seventh with two out and the locals were picked up by a walk and two singles. Sundin and Hatch hit well for Whitby. Bob Cooper, Bob Carl- son and Don Platt each got three for Cobourg while Ed. Ewart slugged two homers.

Thirteen men batted for Whitby in this inning. This ended the scoring for Whitby, but it proved enough to win the ball game. Bow- manville picked up two runs in the fifth and a singleton in the seventh to make the score read 9-5. In the eighth inming with two men on and two men out, Hooper tripled and scored on the bad throw in from the outfield. This made the score 9-8 and Gord Neal then took over on the mound. He walked the first batter to face him and struck out the next man to retire the side. The game was then called on account of darkness and Whitby were victor- ious, The game was played in swel- tering heat and it had a telling ef- fect on the pitching staff of both teams as walks were plentiful.
