GOODYEAR TAKES CLOSE VICTORY FROM CLERKS Playing on the freshly renovat- ed Public School diamond, Good- year staiwarts ciad in their color- ful new sweaters, squeezed a two- rrun victory from the not-too- 1highiy rated Front Street aggre- gation on Thursday night, the score being 12-10. Due to the ieft field being tomn up for trench warfare or some- thing, a ground rule was made >prior to the game, making any bit across the gutter a two-bagger. The officials felt that otherwise someone might break a ieg while attempting to field the bahl. The diamond had taken on a considerably changed appearance with ail the grass gone and the gullies filied in. Unfortunately, there had been littie time for the soul to settie and the playing sur- face was a trifie soft with the resuit that good bounces from grounders were few and far be- tween. Goodyear opened the scoring column*in thefirst stanza when George Piper nicked one of Sie- mon's groove balis for a double and AI Osborne foiiowed with a circuit romp. They added one more in the fourth when Ace Richards doubled and was scored by Ron Richards' single. The hose squad weakened in the fifth and gave the counter- hoppers their first break of the game. Richards handed out sev- eral walks which were capitaliz- ed on when Hub Hooper and Johnny James came through with doubles and Herb. Colmer spiked a triple. In alI, they scored six runs. Their three run lead looked good until "the kings of swat" put on the pressure in their hall of the same frame and almost ripped the seams off the sphere with a massed bunch of Blitz- kreig doubles, triples and one homer by Ted Bagneli. Siemon was relieved finally and replaced by southpaw Don Mason with the team steadying behind him. But the damage, amounting to nine runs, had been done and though the window.dressers tried their best for the remaining two inn- ings, they could only come within two runs of tying the score. A ray of hope came into being for Front Street in the seventh when they scored three runs, but though they tried their best, they were doomed to defeat. Errors were frequent in the in- field and several occurred out on the prairie section, but the major portion of the battle featured snappy baîl, good pitching and hard hitting. Undoubtedly, it was one of the best games of the year. Only casualty of the game was Bert Colweil who strained a muscle in his throwing arm be- fore the struggle began. Proceeds of the game were handed over to the Red Cross Society to assist in their war work. Front Street: Rundle rf; Col- mer 3b; Mason ss and p; J. James lb; H.

Evidently the so-called Bill- iard Kings were behind the eight bail in one of the lousiest games played this year. Both teams did their share of muffing, but in the case of Mike's team it proved extremely costly. The Merchants found Jack Gay's baIl easy to hit, banging out 17 hits in easy manner, the majority going to far-away places in the outfield. Hooper and James were the main sluggers for the Clerks, both hitting three out of five, but the rest of the team weren 't far behind, every man getting at least one sound bit. On the nqound for the Mer- chants Don Mason did his share of winning toc baIl game, striking out six men and only walking one, while Gay struck out one and walked none. The old lef t field ditch rule was in practice again while the dirt still piied up on the road. Several flies in that region were passed up and the batter given two bases. It is expected the ditch wili be fiiled in by Thursday, to make RH E Mike's Place 000 200 2-4 4 7 Front Street 012 510 3-12 17-8 Umnpires-Hobbs and Tweedle.

Both teams played heads up bail and the issue was not decided until the final inning. Bob Bird pitched good bail for the Beavers and went the route. Oshawa used two pitchers before they could stop the Beavers. Reg Burr started for Oshawa but was replaced by N. Sweet, who heîd the Beavers while his teamn mates collected two runs to win the game. Bowmanviiie Foresters play every Monday night in Oshawa at Bather Park and Oshawa plays Wednesdays in Bowmanviiie.

COURTICE LOSE TO SALEM 10-3 Salem defeated Courtice 10-3 in the third league game played at the Cream of Barley Camp on Tuesday night. The game featur- ing many errors, was fairly close for the first three innings, then Salem opened up with a barrage of hits in the third to net them 4 of their 10 runs. Richards, Cale, Werry and Hamm made the rounds of the bases in this frame. Peterson was on the mound for Courtice walking 3 and striking out 7. Mortson, the opposing pit. cher, struck out 6 and walked 4 Ken Werry, hefty Salem first baseman, was the only player to hit out a home run.

PISjDPATS Something is definitely haywire in the Bowmanville Royals camp and we hope the executive is able to clear it up before too much time has passed. On Saturday, oniy six players could be rounded up for the trip to Cobourg, with the resuit that several softball players were invited in and given permission to play though they had flot been playing hardball for years. Where the fault lies, we do not know, but evidently there is something which needs looking into. Several years ago, the hardball club was quite irate because s0 many of its players were throw- ing and hitting the large softballs on their off days and evenings. It was claimed at that time that a player could not effectively act in both games with the result that the softball league when organiz- ed a couple of years ago inserted a ruling that no hardball player could be a member of a softball team in the town league. Now, it seems that the hardball team could well use a few of the softball colleagues and with little persuasion, we imagine, the rule could be lifted to allow athletes to play what and where they want to. There seems little doubt but that softball is here to stay, aiong with the automobile, radio and a few other inventions, so possibly everyone would be advised to make the best of it and co-operate as much as possible. Ticker Crombie is to be hand- ed a bouquet on his familiar manner in which lie handled the bat on Saturday. P1ay;ng al iast year with only one hit, the great Ticker came through with an av- erage of 666 for the game and has three hits to his credit for the two games that he has played. The Royals pitching staff, in- cluding Osborne, Hooper and Witheridge, looks to be a real powerhouse if they once get a lit- tie support behind them fromn the rest of the team. tors if they started on time in- stead of the various managers holding up the game to wait for their players who are late. There are lots of feiiows who would like to play bail in the place of the late-comers if they were oniy given a chance. SOLDIERS LETTER B94448 Pte. F. Hughes No. 2 Army Field Workshop R.C,O.C. C.A.S.F. Basé Post Office, Canada. May 16, 1940 Dear Mr. James,- I have been receiving The Ca- nadian Statesman each week since I left Canada, and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you very much indeed for your kindness and thoughtfuiness in sending the paper which brings the happenings of the oid home town to us boys so far away. Aithough my residence in your fair town has been rather inter- mittent, it is very interesting to read the local news and various articles which are pubiished in The Statesman. I can say that myself and other lads to whom I pass the paper appreciate re- ceiving and reading same. The weather over here has cleared up to some extent and is really nice, 50 that the Canadian boys are more or less climatized now and like the country a great deal more than when they first arrived. I believe Mrs. Bell when writ- ing several articles for your pa- per, gave some very interesting descriptions of Engiand, so it wouid be of no advantage for me to delve into anything like that as I am not an exponent of de- scriptive literature. Again thanking you for your kind remembrance and wishing vour paper much and continued success, I am Yours truly, Fred Hughes. CANADA'S MILITIA STILL CARRIES ON It is worth remembering, when one feels dismayed about the relative invisibility of Canada's armed forces, comments The Printed Word, that Canada's soldiers are not ail in uniform. There are stili thousands of traincd men, veterans of the former war against Gcrmany or graduates of the Non-Permanent Active Militia, ready to serve when cailed upon; and aithough present members of toe N.P.A.M. lack uniforms, they are still turn- ing out for parades and displaying a keenness toat is the best reward of their officers. As in peacetime, militia officers and other ranks are serving their country at considerable personal inconvenience and expense. The average taxpayer has little real- ization of the value he gets for the sums reluctantly voted for the upkeep of the militia. Nom- inally, the men are paîd for the time spent in training. Actually, toey train for many more days than they are paid for, and the small amount of pay received is pooied to pay for various ex- penses, necessary to the training, but not chargeable to the public purse. Officers, in addition to pooling tocir pay, have extra cx- penses in the way of paying stree car fares for toeir men. buying toem boots when necessary, and helping out in countless ways the less affluent members of the unit. An artillery unit rccentiy held some Sunday manoeuvres. A fri- end of toe commanding officer drove out into toc country to sec the show and was surprised to find toat the guns werc represent- cd by sticks placed in toc ground. The explanation given was that some rigid Sabbatarians had op- posed the granting of permission for the guns to be taken through the city streets on a Sunday. Nevertbeless, the militia carnies on.
