'v LOCAL SLUGGERS HIT OUT TO VICTORY IN CAME ON WEDNESDAY Port Hope Meets Def est i Fast Seven Innings Gaine Last Night -Large Scores Second Con- secutive Home Run. Outhitting the Port Hope Ontarios 10 bits to 4, Bawxuanville smashed :heir way to a smart 9-5 victory in a scheduied lakeshore fixture bere on Wednesday night. The game was fentured by plenty of smart fielding and while each pîtcher struck out only three men, batters o! both beains f ailed to send the bail out o! the î,nfield on rnany occasions. The locals showed tiiemselves to be a fighting tears, when Port Hope snatched the lead in the fi th in- nings. When Bowmanviile was lead- ing 2-0 Port Hope went to bat and caught Geo. Piper in an off mnnings. Three bits, two walks and a batter bit by a pitched bail brought in five runs. The locals. nothing daunted turned in the next innings with three runs to tie up the score. "Buck" Large. repeating bis fine perf<>rm- s,uce o! last Saturday, was respon- sible for ail three when he drove a beautifui bit to le! t field, out of the grounds to bning Bagneil and' Harry Osborne in, and ta award bimself a nice bomne run. Incidentai to the game, somne of the fans watching the gaine !rom the east fence, who lncidentally did flot pay ta get into the grounds, stole the bail and refused to return it. A pretty cheap trick for non-paying guests. Len Wakeiy, Port Hope hurler walked the flrst man in the at in- nings, hit the next with the bail, and then Bowmanville took four bits f rom hilm ta score a.notber four runs to finish the game with an undis- puted lead and an innings to spare.

BUT NO PARTIES Threatening Weather Fails to Dampen Spirit of Car- nival Crowd--Cash Priz- es Go To Bowmanville People - Two in One Family. George Wade and bis Famaus Cornhuskers came ta town on »Murs- day and with t.hemn camne hundreds o! People f rom aIn the surrouding countryside with Oshawa, Whitby, Port Hlope, Blackstock, Cobourg and others wefl represented. The occas- ion was the Canad.ian Legion~s an- nuali4ee Dance, wloh despite unfavorable weather condition wu.s a success. A very heavy rain about six o'clock threate,nec itis abandonment, and It was flot until after seven o'clock, when the western sky began ta brigbten that a hasty meeting of the executive decided ta carry on. The next hour was about as busy an hour as King Street bas wltness- ed for some time, President W. P. Ward and his Legionaires together with many willing helpers erected booths and piaced barricades in an amazingly short tune. wlth the ne- suit that when George Wade and bis Boys mounâted the piatform, in the centre of the block f rom Teni- perance to Division Streets, ail was in neadiness. The thneatening weatber resulted in only a f air crowd being present at the atart but as soon as Wade's music carne tbrough the amplifiera the crowd thickened and soon King Street was a seething mass o! bu- manity. Free money booths, cocoa- nut shies, hot dogs, ice cream and other booths did a wonderful busi- ness for the Legion Band and lades Auxiliary. Meanwhiie the crawd a- round the orchestra plat! orm got so large that ia because increasingly difficult fan dancera ta get enough floor apiace. Between <lances the Red River Valley Cowboy sang and yo- delled, 9,nd our opinion- seemed to be about the saine as everyone else that tliis singer bas noue o! the abililty o! Pete the Mountain Boy who sang bere with Wade iast year. As the crowd coutlnued ta pour nto the enclosure a light rainstoni meny of the crowd went home, WhIle others Jamnmed in every available nook and cranny where it was dry. Ini less than half an hour It wau fine again and the da.ncing continued. Shortly after midnight the crowd began to gather anound thé platforni where the draw for the iucky cash prizes was ta take place. Just before 1 o'cock t.he truck carrying the stubs and churn was backed to the main plat! orm. President Ward expressed hearty appreciation toa ai present who had turned out ta aid thé Leg- ion in their dance. He then asked Mn. Wade ta make the draw for the lucky tickets. The prise winners were: $25.00, No. 1343, Miss Doris Colacott; $10.- 00, No. 466. Miss Edth Joint; $5.00, No. 1492, Miss L. Clarke, $5.00, No. 2691, Mrs . N. S. B. James; $5.00, No. 3172, Stuart R. James; ail of Bowmanville. A large portion of thé crowd made for home and a night's sleep alLer the d.raw, but severai hundred, con- tinued dancing until George Wade cailed a hait. anound 2. a.m. it was very unfontunate that the weather shouid be unfavorable for the event. but taý the executive mem- bers it seemed tJiàL postponiet meant expe'ise, much waste of Pro- ducts already purchased, together wlth the same chance o! bad wea- ther, and close proximity to other car,'ival events.
