That "Don't go Outside Your Home Town for Things Your Own Merchants Supply" Bobby Porter Blazes Path to Major Leagues Young Canadian with Toronto Maple Leajfs is Playing Brilliant Baseball for Dan Howley's Team Is Bobby Porter blazing a a major league baseball care* is the qeusticn thait Toronto rar asking themselves thesie days, can be answered with an emphatic affirmative judging by the way the Balmy Beach boy, one of the few young Cannd'iar.s in nrofesq'onal baseball, continues the brilliant play he has shown with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the past couple of weeks. Porter, it will be remembered, was picked off the Toronto sandlots a couple of years ago and taken South with the Leafs. He impressed Ike Boone, then manager of the Toronto team,, and wials signed to a contract. Hie was optioned out to the Marshall club of the Bast Texas League, where he played most of the 1936 season, be|»ntg recalled by Toronto late in August. Bobby hais been w§th the ever since. He started as a : „ when the i19?,7 campaign opened, but alternated in right field with Adam Oomorosky when the Leafs faced left hand pitchers. It was believed that Porter couldn't hit well against the southpaws. But Bobby has disproved that theory convincingly this year. He has ln't well against all kinds of pitching. His recent record of seven confcecutive hits in as many times at bat was mralde against outs Handling RO'Chesteii hurlers. including Oscar Judid. southpaw, who was born in London, Ontario, but now makes his home in Ingersoll where he first attracted attention ais an amateur star. In the recent five-game series against Rochester. Porter miade 11 bits in 18 trips to the plate, a .611 batting clip. His hits included three triples and a double. His fielding was just ensatfonia] as his batting, and he easily the all-round .star of the ss. has been Porter's ambition to gain a major league trial, and the Toronto you nigs ter who was standing football star with the Balmy Beach Club before he eiver took up baseball seriously, is working hard with that end in view. Manager Dan Howley, Of thie Leafs, has insisted thiait Porter is one of the best major league prospects he has seen in years, and all he needed was the experience1 to make him a great 'ball player, is likely that several major league clubs will be bidding for his services tbf's year. The fact that "Goody" Rosen, another Toronto boy, has been playing so well for Brooklyn in the National League, has drawn attention to Canadian-born players, and major league scJouts are combing professional and amateur (baseball in Canada now in search for new talent. Other Maple Leaf players are potential big leaguers in the making, but Porter's sensational cl'mb to well over the .300 mark m> the bettting averages has focused the spotlight on himi. Manager Howley is determined that the Leafs will be in the tihick of the race all the way and is sparing no effort or expense to build the team into a pennant contender. Howley 'insists that bis players deliver the goods, or else . . ■ • The Leafs have been hustling, and have sold themselves to Toronto fans. But bad weather, injuries and other circumstances 'have hampered the team in the early weekis icf the campaign, amid sieveral games have been lost that never should halve been. But that's baseball, and thie Leafs haven't let it discourage them. The Toronto club is starting night baseball 'earlier than ever before since the floodigbtst were first installed at Maple Leaf S'ladium. When the team returns home for a four-giame series against Montreal Royals, starting June 1. all the gamies will be played under the lights, including that of 'Saturday. June 4. Saturday night baseball will be made a regular feature at Maple Leaf Stadium this season. Following bbe series with the ROyiails, the Leafs depart for their longest road-trip of the schedule, three weeks. They return on June 27,' and will be home all that week to play night games against Buffalo and Rochester.

(Continued from last week) ■Malvolio is one of the most real characters that has ever been created in literature. So true to life is Malvolio that we find our attitude towards him changing, as it changes when we see the fortunes of acquaintances fluctuating. Malvolio was the steward in via's household. What the butle to a modern household, the steward was to an Elizabethan. Consequently, Malvolio was a person of importance holding a position of authority over the other servants of the house, and of confidence in Olivia's esteem. Throughout the play, Malvolio is the whose expense jokes are played. The reason for this is evident when he first appears. Olivia's clow has displeased her by his absence and when Olivia and Malvolio apt i the Clown exercises his . wit to back Olivia's favour. Malvolio is amused and tells Olivia that the Clown is not really witty. Indirectly he reproves his mistress for finding any entertainment in the words of her fool. Olivia, in reply, accuses Malvolio of self-love and concludes her answer with the words, "there is no slander in an allowed fool, though he do nothing but rail; nor railing in a known discreet man. though he do nothing but reprove." In she suggests to Malvolio that, though she appreciates his services at their full value, she dislikes his attitude of censure. Olivio depends greatly on Malvolio and when news is brought that Viola is insisting upon seeing her, she sends Malvolio to prevent Viola's entrance. Malvolio. however, is no match for Viola, who wins her way into Olivia's presence. And for the Duke's page Malvolio develops an active dislike which shows itself in his manner when he is commissioned by Olivia to carry a ring to Viola. The enmity which exists between 'Malvolio and Sir Toby has arisen from faults on both sides. Sir Toby is fond of good living and has indulged himself at the expense of the comfort of the household. Malvolio, responsible for the good name of the house and unfortunate in his manneT of reproving Sir Toby and his associates has succeeded only in arousing their opposition. Their enmity for him takes practical shape when he tries to still their uproarious, drunken, singing at midnight. Sir Toby and his protege Sir Andrew, are drunk enough to defy h'rri and to welcome Maria's plan designed to humiliate him. The plan is duly put into action. Maria has written a letter purporting to come from Olivia, and so expressed that a man of Malvolio's egotistic nature could apply it to him self and believe that Olivia was taking that means of informing him of her love for him. The letter has been placed in a pathway where Malvolio finds it. Poor' Malvolio. at odds with his associates, lonely, and filled with delusions of his own value, is in the mood to be deceived by such a letter; and he readily falls into the trap Maria has set for him. The letter enjoins him to treat Sir TOby with disrespect, to forget his humility towards Olivia and to appear ' before her.- smiling, cross-gartered, and yellow-stockinged. Malvolio carries out the Instructions of the letter and appears in this foolish guise before Olivia. Olivia, completely ignorant of the letter, has no choice but to accept Maria's suggestion that Malvolio has become mad. She gives orders that Malvolio is to be placed in the care of her uncle Sir Toby; and the deluded steward is taken off to confinement in a dark room and meagre diet, the common treatment allotted madmen in Elizabethan days. Not content with having humiliated Malvolio before Olivia. Maria pursues him into his prison with her vengeance. She persuades the Clown, who is very ready to have his share in hurting Malvolio, to play the part of Sir Topas, a curate. As Sir Topas. the Clown visits Malvolio and confuses and angers him' by the nonsense he speaks. Sir Toby has fallen into Olivia's bad graces because of the duel he had fought with the Duke's page, and he decides that it is time to release Malvolio in order to avoM further trouble with his niece. The Clown tires of his sport and, discarding his disguise, agrees to bring Malvolio paper, pen, and light in order that he may write to Olivia who orders that he be freed. ■Malvolio comes to her and to pacify him. Olivia promises that he may decide the punishment that shall be meted out to the delinquents. And Malvolio. instead of acknowledging that he has been duped and calling the affair over and done with, stamps off in a rage with the words, "I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you." j Malvolio incurred the enmity of j those around him by his intolerable and humorous assumption that he was holier than they. We sympathize with Sir Toby's and Maria's and the Clown's resentment of this attitude. 1 And yet, so skillfully is Malvol'i presented, we can understand his The *Re*aj2& Drug Store WHERE YOU SAVE WITH SAFETY Gain Strength and Vitality with PURETEST YEAST AND IRON TABLETS 100 tablets -- 79c New Bachelor Shaving Needs Bachelor Shaving Cream 35c Bachelor Shavhig Lotion 50c Bachelor Brilliantine .... 35c Bachelor Talc ..............25c FLASH LIGHTS $1.00 -- $1.25 Batteries -- 10c -- 15c Bulbs -- 15c 1 SORE FEET I ^nu-feet insoles medicated SOFT B 35c, 50c, 71 Softball Bats -- ALLS c, $1.75 50c, 75c, $1 30 Till Pal WHITE SHOE POLISH 25c 1 Shu Milk, 15c, 25c 1 2 in 25c 1 Tops.............. 15c j It .... 1 ............. 15c ti Beach... ............... 15c Coach Athletic Nonsush El Lay's White .

JOHNSTON, Grafton contempt for their drunken roistering habits and realize why he withdrew into himself, taking refuge from their insults in his own dreams. Most people now-a-days are interested in used cars. It is said that six car-drivers out of ten have never bought a new car. Fortune tells this story on used-car dealers. "Last year a Trenton, New eJrsey, saloon-keeper named Red, one of whose intimate friends, was in the used-car business, anted an automobile. "I wouldn't ill you it was a school teacher's ar," said this intimate friend. "I'm ot trying to fool you, Red,. .But it ; a bargain. I priced it at $125, and a account you're my pal you can take it away for a hundred!" When Red and his wife were driving the on the next ainy day, they raised window for the first time. On it was soaped "Special to-day $75." The comment on this incident seems appropriate. Few used-car dealers will ever get to heaven. But they do a very important job on earth. It is estimated that in the United last year, 7.000,000 used cars were retailed at about a total of $1,700,000,000. This industry is essential to the automotive industry itself. If the practice were discontinued of handing down used cars to second, third and fourth owners, automobile manufacture would shrink to about a third of its present proportions. Some idea of how the average oar Is passed from owner to owner is given in the biography of a Ford car sold new in 11930 at $700 and transferred from hand to hand until in the spring of this year it was bought by the Ford plant at Rouge for $12.50 ready to be pressed, fused and rolled into a new Ford. In the course of its history its speedometer was set back from 43,000 miles to 27,000 miles, later from 38,000 miles to 29,000 miles and still later set at 33.000 to correspond to the dealers story that his wife had been driving that car ever since it was new "just taking the kids to school and like that." But there is no evidence that auto dealers find their profession an easy one for there is no standard price for a used car and dealer and purchaser are continually engaged in a battle of An extremely interesting book is "The Dark Invader," an autobiographical sketch of Captain von Rintelen a German military officer, active in the German Secret Service of his native land in the Great War. For several months he operated in the United States before the entry of the United States into the war, for he went abroad in 1915 and only returned to his own country in 1921 after his release from the Prison at Atlanta to which he was confined for four years for his activities of one kind or another in the German interests. The book is o' <*reat interest for manv reasons. It is •■-p-r- iief in what he relates that Germany was not the unconquerable nation that the allies were tempted at times to consider her. For one thing almost from the first there was hopeless disagreement between the German naval and military arm. There was also almost from' the first a crippling shortage of munitions. The Allies by the aid of the British Fleet could trade with the world, and all the munition makers in the world could deliver their supplies to the allies and from these sources of supply Germany was cut off. The attempt on the part of Germany to neutralize this advantage lead to the horrors of the submarine war. Von Rintelen served Irs country to the best of his ability in interfering with the shipping out of New York of food, munitions and military supplies of all kinds to the allies. It was due to Von Rintelen largely that explosive bombs were placed on board ships laden with munitions, and by the explosion later of these bombs many ships were sunk, mysteriously at first, until the British Secret Service apprehended the agents of these outrages and turned tihem eve- for trial and punishment to the American Authorities. Particular interest to Canadian readers of this book will be found in the evidence brought forward by a German enemy that the British Secret Service was obviously more expert than that of the Germans. Von Rintelen relates that a few hours after war was declared in August 1914, fleets of British fishing vessels manned with expert telegraphers lifted the German cables in the North Sea and connected them to the cables leading to London. And for some time the German secret cables were all decoded at Ixindon. It was very easy apparently for the British Secret service to decode the German cables and Von Rintelen reports that the Germans cont'nued for months the uses of codes that they had been advised were in the possession of the British. Older readers will remember that the German Admiral Von Spee with a powerful squadron of fast ships defeated Admiral Crad-dock's inferior squadron at Coronel. But not every one knows or perhaps many have forgotten that the British by means of tehir efficient Secret Service operating at Berlin, had forged telegrams sent from Berlin to Count Spee advising him where to expect reinforcements and later directions, and thus lured him into the hands of Adrnfra.l Sturdee who with a fleet secretly strengthened in advanced for this battle, destroyed completely ships and crews of the last Gerrrhn squadron at large on the The Dor i Fir» 0>He The i United
