A crowd, which filed the bleachers and extended far out alang -bath foui lines, fillcd the Newcastle ball park wltJi a sus- tained chorus cf cheers and chat- ter f!'om the first "play ball" un- tii the last "batter's eut!" And well they xight. This was no professional pitching duel or ilugging contest, where me- chanical men go through their machine-like motions without emotion. These were teams of farmers, managed by country storekeepers. dawn-to-dusk work- ers, wbo took tie out to p4ay the game they loved. Like Gaul, each side seemed ta be divided inta three parts. There were able teen-agers who fought and usu- ally canquered the bail every time it came their way; pjime bal players, who played a st ady and useful game, and men past their basebali prime wbo more than made up with beads and hearts for what they lacked in anm on leg., 1Not ta say there was no "sci- ence." Bqth teams were manx- aged and coached by cagey vet- erans of many a basebaîl war. Tbey had ta be, or they wouldn't bave been champions of their respective leagues. It was an "Oid Timers" delight to watch the strategy and counter-strategy. There wcnc the steal offset oy the pitchout; the sacrifice smoth- ered by the infield, and the double steai with the bail burncd back ta the plate by a well-driiled key- stone combination ta tag the man from third. Highly significant, was the tact that sa fcw thcfts «Wene attempted and that less SUC- ceeded. In amateur bail it is cus- tomary for runners ta take sec- ond and sometimes third, almost at will. But not against these teams. Tl4e pitchers kept the runners i trozen. whilst the catchers had the little white pellet waiting at sçcond te erase those 'who dared. It was a tight, defensive game, in spite of the errons. Tufts af grass and other obstructions made the intielders' task a nightmarc. Bethany suffered mast. Thre successive grounders ta,' first al toolc mad twists or hops at the lest second ta, prevent a play. It was then Pitcher Reynolds and the Bethany infieid showed why they were champions. Instead of being upset or dishcantened, they gave everything tbey bad ta min- imize the damage. Sa ýtoutIy did they strive that not a car started up or a fan move until the last Betheny batter was retired. With the last "out" the whole Bethany bencb rushed oven ta congratulate Roy Sleep and bis players. The genuine sponten- ity of this sportsmanlike gestureý sa impnessed their oppanents that Manager Sleep spoke for ali whcn he said:, "It was a toss-up al through the senies. It could just as weli have been you wbo won. And if you had," he addezi, "there would have been no dis- eppointmcnt. It would have been an bonour ta have lost ta sucb a bunch of good bail play- ers and good spints."

Whcn you get right down ta the root of the meaning of the word "succeed", you find that it sim- ply means ta follow through .-F. W. Nichol.

Acroa Te Equator The boat tbey were travelling on slipped acnoss the equator about eleven anc morning, and it was just as if it bad entered an- other worid. The next stop was Suva. which was reached at night. In the city, which is none too clean, the native stores are smail and pîled up with goods.) Fijians are simple and honest and have great loyalty ta the British Crown. The men are large, and the policemen are especiaiiy pic- turesque, with their white sar- ongs, and their black jackets trimmed with red. Because tbein pride and joy, their bair, is black and kinky, and stands eut fram cight to tweive inches fram their hcad, the men cannot wean hats, and natives seldom wear sandais, pncfenring ta waik in their banc feet.

Thene were no restaurants open, sa they finally gave up and went without break- fast. 0f ten everyone takes a holiday from Christmas ta January 16 and evenything is closed except rail- way tenminals, mucb ta thedis- gust of tourists.

Eden, stili has a cratee some 60 fe'et' deep. In Aucl<laAd Harbour is Rangitoto, a small extinct vol- canic island, which is perfectly symmetrical. The natives are very proud of this island, so much so. that humourists sometimes cali it the fourth island of New Zealand. Evcrywhere in the countryside are found boiling mud and water geysers, by which natives cooik their meals, and in which. they wash their clothes, thus making good use of what nature has put on the land. From Auckland, the travellers journeyed by train to Welling- tan, the capitol of New Zealand, and aiso caiicd the Windy City. Rumour bas it, that if one's bat blows off ail he has ta do is put his band up in the air, and catch a new one. After they left Wellington, the McLaughlin's bad a caim voyage to Littieton, and thence to Christ- church. which bas its own Avon River, which is not much bigger than Bowmanville's Creek. Here they attended church in a iovely cathedral, which had a marvel- lous boys' choir. From Chritt- church they took n motor trip to the plains of Canterbury, and be- yond ta hilly country, which was mostly Jersey cattie and- sheep land. Cooke Srait, bctween the North and South Islands, was iovely, and the McLaughlins took a launch'trnp tbrough Queen Char- lotte Sound, passing through Pel- oris Sound, froma which they could see the swing bridge high above the Pelonis River. As they motorcd along the West Coast of the South Island, they could see the Tasman sea, and the Pancake Rocks, stratified rocks tbat resemble piles of pani- cakes. The road through the Alps Is scenie and very beautiful. Along the route they saw two notable glaciers, the Franz Joseph and the Fox Glacier. To Australla The McLaughlin's left Christ- church on March l6th, and reach- cd Australia on the 20th. While in Sydney they took a boat trip araund part of the 185 mile shore Une of Sydney Harbour. Here thcy a]so saw the famous Sydney bridge across the harbour. Here, in spite of sharks, people -bathe in confidence, because there has been a very efficient Life-saving system established. The couple motored ta Palmn Beach with Miss Lark, grand- daughter of the first Canadian High Commissioner ta, Australia, a family formerly cf Oshawa. They drove about the City of Syd- ney a great deal, and also motor- ed ta Blue Mountain, 75 miles away, which gets its name from its beautiful,. blue colour. - rom Lookout Point on this mountain, they couid look down and see rock formations, not'unlike the Ameni- can Grand Canyon, but 'on a smaller scale.
