Thunston who wielded the hickory in real pro- fessional style but the hîgh browe bat- tery of dominion and municipal leg- isiators was too mncb for him. Belleville 3-Bowmanville 2 The basebali game alone was easily worth tbe pnice of admission, it be- ing a strenuons, hard-fongbt and un- certain exhibition, rigbt from the drop of the bat.

Under the heading "Diamond Dust" hie makes a few comments which are ýof local inter- est: Bowmanvîlle put up a reai good gaine, and did better work than they expected themselves, many beiieved. Moise, their shortstop is a nice player and was one of the outatand- ing lights. With somes coaching es- pecially on the willow, Moise would make a "rnger., Bowmanville needs more coaching and nursing, and about 50 per cent more 'pep" and ý"gusto". This ai- so applies to the fans who were re- markably weak ia the "sonnd box"1 department.F It does a person good to hear the Trnnk players taik to their pitcher. Just like 8 real, live "baîkeru". it ail heips too boys, and certaiaiy shows that the team is interested, and full of "Zipe". .Beileville players were met ut the depot by Mr. George Patterson, Man- ager -of the ball club, and a fleet of cars, were taken to the Bowmaa Hotei. They were weli treated by the Bowmanvile Club, The ex-Lindsay Grey Bird trio, Bates, Stark and Chambers were three of the îteadiest players on the Bowmanvilie outfit. Bates succeed- ed in coming through with a hit at a good time, which talied the 2 ruas. The Bowmanviiie diamond is la fair shape, -but is rather soft and dead making it rather hard to rua over it, and slowing down the grass cutters considerahiy. It bas beeni skinned and is partially gras s growan again. We have seen much wor1 diamonds however. (SPORTING NEWS CONTINUED ON LAST PAGE) "Bu t-mCanada»' Five-pas.senger, 40 H.
