TRI CANADIAN STATESMAIN. BOWMANVILLE THUR.SDAY, MAY 26th. 1932 Sp"'rting Comment By Adam Fakir OPPORTUNITY They do me wrong wlio say 1 corne no more Wlien once 1 knock and fafi to f ind you in; For every day I stand outside your1 doar,1 And bid you wake, and rise toi f iglt and win. Wail flot for precious chances pass- ed away, Weep flot for golden ages on the wane! Bach niglit I burn the records of the day- At suinse every soul is born again. Laugli like a boy at splendours that have sped To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past wth its dead, But neyer bind a moment yet to corne. Tho' deep in mire, wrng flot you.r hands and weep; I iend my arms toalal who say -I can"; No shamefaced outcast ever sank sa deep,. But yet might rise and be again a man! Dost thou beliold thy lost youth al aghast? Dost reel from righteous retribu- tlan's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past, And find thie future's pages wlate as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rause thee from the speil; Art thou a sinner? Sins mai be f orgiven. Each mornmng gives thee wings ta ffee tram lieUl; Each niglit a star ta guide tby feet to heaven. -BY Walter Malone. And there gain is *a poem worth remembering. It was flot wrtten by some onloaker who had neyer feit the struggles of 11e, but by a man wlio fougit lits way bacli when lie was consdered down and out. That poem could quite easily be applied ta basebail. How o! ten we have seen a team that f rom ail ap- Pearances seemed doomed ta defeat, zind qui te oi Len ifley hv o hi way ta victary against odds. That is why basebail teaches its partici- a pants so mucli about life. The a players iearn to stick ta the lasi oai, fa matter liow far they are oe- hind, because there is always a chance o! winning. c - * t The sofibail games lasi Thursday 1 are ail one hears on the streets. We a have the job o! ielling you same- Il tliing about them, so let's bu up and jý daing. I liumbly beg ta repalogize a for terming those youthful, if ra- t ther portiy and roiuisd gentlemen, i who exhibited iheir abulities as saf t- 1j bail players, as lias-beens and neyer- t wasers. Many tines the fans were t surprised and thrliled with the agil- f ity o! these men who are seidom t seen doing physical exertion and 1 wlio therefore were iooked upan as j eitlier too aid ta play or wlio had i neyer known liow ta play. 1 To see the oid war hiorse Casey Martyn as catcher of the Business Men, juggle the bail on lis Santa Claus stomacli was treat enougli for 1 anione. Of course some o! the men were a Uitile stage struck. Take Principal Dippell for example, lie was quite nervous and missed sever- al catches on f irsi base, but possibiy i with exams so near lis nerves mayi be a littie on edge. Melville Dale lield down third base witli ease and piayed the game in mid-seasan shape tchicken pie supper season). Home runs were as easy ta get as singles for these veterans. And when they ran bases Allie Shru.bb in ail lis giori could not have paced one o! them. The new rules were the cause o! mucli dissension in the ranks. Shorty Minore was caught on second base wlien lie le! t the base before the bal liad passed oaver the Plate. He was loath ta leave the 1coveted base, but alter mucli per- suasion bY umplres sud f ellow play- ers lie reluctanili became a bencli Sitter instead o! a base runner. The most huinorous part o! thel bgame was an occurrence the day foilowing.

This iilustrious supervisor o! Our humble eff orts happened ta lie one o! the Lparticipants in the gaine and so Purioined the report with eagle eye. Suddenly lis voice rose in impetu- eoua rage. He had dlscovered thai lis name and reputation were casi inta obuivion. bi a starY o!flow lie fanned oui. The next fifteen min- utes it was a scene of wrathlul wrangling. The editor maintained in no mean terms that lie did not swing wildly ai iliree straight bails. He contended that lie lit tlie bail and was put out ai firsi. TIW de- iermined one was jusi as steadfast in bis conviction. He could alinosi viSualize the situation with the edi- tor cresifailen a! ter lis failure ta liii ithe elusive missie. The end ta h aai was when the duiel phoned anc of lis feilow players sud had bis story venilied.

The Sa! tbaUl season goi &way tai agood stant on Friday night wlien' af airiy large crowd turned out ta t se the burlesque opening wlien the t. Rotary Club and Business Men met . a in a tbree innings' battle of thle I enturi. Honors went to the Ro- iln taryClub byvirtue of a9 to 4 score. c 'lie gaine provided lots of fui andi1: apart f rom a brief reference we1 lave it ta Adam Fakir ta tel of this c histaric event. Rotary batted first t and got away to a good start with j two runs. tihe Business Men retaliat- 1 ing with one, a liomer by President c Tom Dustan. The new suit of com- ( blnation overails no doubi liad mucli c ao do witli ihis mun, as thie Rotary 1 fieiders were apparently dazzled by 1 lie spiendour of tihe outfit. Not ta be outdone, Rotary, in the persan of1 Alan Campbell, scored a home mun j n the second framne. It was in this i frame that the, dignlty of the tawng of Bowmanville was imperlled wlien his worship the Mayor camne close ta fanning out but retired via a pop1 fly ta short. The B. B. M.

It was only a fairli good ex- hibition of solibali, but that was not expecied in the f irsi gaine of the season. Goodyear won easily by a 10 ta 1 score. Slipshod fielding and weak baiting proved to bu the downfali of the Magin Street counter- hoppers. but it being an exhibition game we do not imagine tliey were going ail out ta try a win. Stu. James batted f irst for Good- year and netted thie rubber men a homer riglit off the bat. Eric Col- well and Hobbs also caine home in this innungs givmng tlie Goodyear a three-run start. Front Street had uneveniful f irst and second lnnings, sud bi that we mean there was no scoring. lIn the third wlien Good- year had plled up 8 runs Jamieson made thie rounds of ithe bases and came home for the only mun. Prout for Goodyear made a try for thie hat trick, getting two straight liom- ers, but not getting a third bat ta trY it again. Murphy was thie oniy other lad to make a homer. 0f course iliese do not count as officiai home nuns as the gaine was not sclieduled. Ooodyear-S. James, E. Colweil, Murphy. Hoblis, F. Hooper, B.
