A single by Jýnts, a walk ta Vanstone and singles by Ted Dadson and Cor added four mort ruas, until Haire fanned "Butch" Cale a.nd John Mason. Kelly, up for thé second time in the inning, tripled ta score Cox with the seventi' run, before Girardi bounced ta the pitcher. T ht Harvesters added a pair of tailies in tht seventh on Kelly's third bit, a walk, an- other hit by Masters, and a fielder's chaice. Tht "General" looked sharp, claiming six strikeotlts, giving up five bits, and not issumng a single fret pass. Base-stealer deluxe, Tim Car added twa mare theits ta his credit. Vince Vanstone was really kept busy making three put-outs and as- sisting on four other piays. "Chuck" Armstrong was tht only Orono hitter to get more than ore safety, claixing a pair of singles. Bantams Down Orono In Thursday Game A1-6 Although Orano and Bow- inanville Bantams wound up with an ecqual number ai its- fivé apiece, it was ablity ta capitalize with runnens on base, which gave Bowmanville an 11-6 victory. Tht gaine was played last Thursday night at the Mermorial Park, here. After Orono scored tbree times la tht fiith ta narrow tht Leglonnaire lead ta two runs, John Hancock reiieved starter Bll Brown, te burl a scortless final two frames. Tht home team wrapped tht game u.p, with a three sixth inaîng aplurge on three bases on bails and John Twist's single. Orano teck the iead in tht ,peýningÈ inning, when they cred tict an a walk and a pair o! bingles, Tht Legion- naires tallitd a single marker in tht- bottom half oi tht frame without tht benefit of a bit. Two walks and an Iniield out turned thetrtick. Another pair of bits added another rua ta tht Orona lead in tht third. Tht lead was short-lived. when Alex Wisemnan blasted a two-rua borner ta tie tht score, in the botterm ai the third. Tht blow wvas Wiseman's thîrd four bagger in tht last twe games. Lane's single witb two on, plated twa more ruris before the hnning ended. Aiter two w*ere eut in the founth farne, Barry Stevens swatted a triple ta ignite a three run outbreak for the Legion- flaires. A walk and an errer loaded tht bases, awl* John Twist receîved a pass ta force in a rua. Ray Crornbie's clutch single scared tht other twa markers. Twa Bowmanville mîscues paved the way for three runs by Orono, with Hancock relief ehare and tht locals' tbree run sixth, salting tht game away. By "«The Kingtish"l Alter reading the Centennial issue of The Statesman and set- ing tht photos af the hockey teams of past years, especially ont of which I was a member, I could flot help reminiscing a bit of past happenin-gs. Tht events af which, 1 wrIte will neyer be found in the box score of any gaine. However, they were ail directly, or indi- rectly, associated with aur teain. As many of tht people stili are living, or have relatives stili alive, some af tht storits will have ta be nameless rather than cause undue embarrass- ment. Tht picture tells the story af tht size of tht team, eight play- ers cansisting of six regulars and twa subs. Tht game was played before tht era of the forward pass and each man had to be an individualist, able ta' stick-handle, give and receive a pass-on side. Tht puck was piayed, rather than tht man, as the pictures show tht lack af padding that tht present day players have ta wear. Tht clos- est thing ta the aid style af play is played today by the Rus- sian team, whîch many .of us were able ta enjay iast year when they toured Canada. Thé group af boys of tha-t '28 team were together as a unit for three or four years of jun- ior hockey. We neyer had tao muoh maney ta carry on with. but always managed to scrape by. Our equipment was a very mînor expense by today's stan- dards. Ail we needed was a pair of skates and boots, a stick, some harness maker's feit for aur shins and a sweater. I wauld venture a guess that tht cost af tht equipment for ont player today would have out- fitted aur wholt team. Canvass Merchant. Each faîl we would canvass tht local merchants for money donations to finance aur start. Tht donations averaged one and two dollars and anyone giv- ing five or more was sure ta be called on first the next year. We liked ta have a large gift at the top of the page haping the athers would follow suit. I wel remember collecting one year and of ail tht people canvassed tht late lawyer D.B. Simpson was the only person who, on giving me his donation, signed paid after hîs name an the don- ar's ]ist. The intermediate teami won their group ont year and being shor't-handtd used a junior each game as they advanced in tht play downs. One night in King- stan we lost ont af aur fans in tht hatel and when we found himn he had filled a bath tub full of water, dumped in our bags of oranges and lemons and was walking fuly elotbed even ta overcoat and galoshes in tht tub. Askmng him wbat he was doing, he replied "mak- ing lemonade for tht boys". We were privileged ta have tht services ai two vtry good tramners namely Bill Clarke and tht late Scotty Wright. Bill was a plumber by trade and- ont sure knew that they had*beený rubbed dawn by the time his strong hands had finished tht job. Scotty Wright had a great sense of humor and sùpplied imort than bis ahare ai laughs. Scotty lost a leg in the service ai bis country in France in tht First World War. Ont night in Belleville, reversig his waaden leg be gave 1,ht hotel guests quite a start as he walked out thraugh tht lobby with ont foot going each way. Some years ago ont ai tht sinaller cities w-htre we ustd ta play had an investigation inta tht activities of its police force. I can weli believe that tht ta- quiry was warraated, as tht local officer on duty at tht games was aiways able ta sup- ply tht correct address for those fans who needed some iiquid fortification against tht cold during tht game. Ont night in th is p articular city, ont ai aur fants found tht correct address and before gaine time was shi e- ly put ta bed. We lôst tht game and ail the next week tht samt fan toid ail who wouid listen bow tht poor oificiating by tht referet had roSbtd us ai the game. Each year, came try out time for tht team, ont local charac- ter would always show up and generally make a ptst ofaihm- self. Aiter a few ytars it be- came humorous ta us ail, s0 we gave hlm tht aid build-up un- til we bad him believing him- self indispensable. Tht joke got out ai hand aad as tht teain bad been chosen he was in tht rodd at practices. Ont evening aiter practice tht coach gave hlm tht "ehaser" wbich kept hhm away for ail time. He gave him a good rub down al aver with Sloan's liniment. Ht wasi really burned up about it al and neyer returned. Tht rink here at horne always bad a special polictrnan an duty for ahi games. Tht ont I remem- ber tht best was most oo-oper-s ative. If a fight started amaag tht fans, which happened very af-t ten, he was sure ta be welil back eut oi tht road and harmst wav and flot interfere.

At the half-wav mark, Maple Grave has swept through ta seven straight vic- tories, while last place Bow- manville bas yet ta manage a win.

Looking over the picture brings back many memnories af tht gang. Fred Jackman gave his life for us in tht late war. Cecil Mutton was tht only mar- ried man on the team. Tht -late Cliff McMullen was tht great- est stick-handler that I have seen, pro or amateur. The onlv way ta take tht puck frorn him was ta knock hilm down and sit on hlm. George Piper was tht baby of the team break- ing in at the early age of 14 and playing like a veteran. Har- ry "«Dutch" Osborne was the stylist ai tht team. Ht went on te pro hockey and became a valuable member of tht Boston Cubs, a farm team. of tht Bos- ton Bruins. John James, aur present editor, piayed goal just like Brada and really kept the rubber out in the days when tht goalie had ta stand on his feet and could not lie on tht ice acrass the net as is tht case in today's game. Red Hooper started out as a goalie but mov- ed out to defence where tht in- creased action was mare ta his liking. Stu Candler played cen- tre ýand in those days fell back ta defence when tht defence rushed up tht ice. Last, but not least, Ed "Flash" Rundie, aur best billiard player, who played billiard shats off tht boards as he flashed up tht ice. Tht leagut then cansisted of five teains, narnely, Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Port Hope and Cobourg. It was be- fart tht days ai imports and tht teams were ail home brew. Tht league was very well bal- anced and campetition was very keen, Tht aid expression "tht gond aid days" cames ta mind. We didn't have C forms, money, equipment, ice palaces ta play in and oniy piayed home and home games each seasan with each league team, but in spite ai ail these so-calied necessities today I realiy believe we had mare fun. Hockey today, espe- came big business and business bas ta pay its way ta survive and once money becomes tht prime requisite spart for spart's sake is. lost. These few thaugbts might not be ai too much interest ta tht present readers.

While lanky Bob Os- borne cracked the whip an the mound for Bowmanvîlle, scat- tering six bits neatly, for his second victory af tht season, Oshawa's Haiduik and Gray were cuffed for 12 bits. "Oz" threw a great game, in his first compîtte chore af tht season. Only in thte-second and sixth innirigs did Oshawa man- age back ta back bits off 4Oz's" slants. Bill Osborne conti.nutd his scintillating clubbing pace as he boomed a home run and two sigles in four trips for five RBI's, hoisting bis average ta .423. Bill now bas fine runs batted in for the Juveniles i six games. Haiduik, starting pitcher for Oshawa was bombed from tht mound aiter facing anly five men in the first inning. Mari errison siashtd a sîngle, Abbott walked, while Bates, Bill Osborne and Curt Vanstone clubbed successive singles. Haid- uik was relieved by Dan Gray, a partside twirler. Je Kennett gretted Gray with a single, be- fort tht Oshawa fireballer ex- tinguishtd tht blaze. Bob Osborne, Vivian and Mar- jerrisan whiffed ta end tht in- ning. Tht remainder of tht fray. Bowmanville managtd sev- en bits, with Osharnes rocketing homer in tht fourth, the only extra bases rap. Gray fanned 19 Bowmanville batters in the nine-inning tilt, a fantastie sum, but allawed eight bits, good for six runs. Around tht Bases Bob Osborne looked sharp, as he nailed four hapless bastrun- ners on first with bis deceptive motion. "Oz's" contrai was near perfect as be allowed only ont walk. "Fuzzy" Marjerrison besides swatting two lead-oif singles, played sharp in tht field, hand- lmng four chances easily. Curt Vanstone, snapped aut af an aggravating slump memen- tarily with bis first inning single, but was collared in four ather trips. Bill Bates continued ta thump tht pili, shunting bis average ta over .300 with a tria of hits.
