The others are: Sixer Jim Wright, Sixer Lowell Harnden, Seconder Richard Peebles, Cub John Darker, Cub Bob Griffis. The Pack was led by Scouter Best for the Ceremony, and the Troop by Scouter Small. The Pack gave the Grand Howl, the last in which these boys will partiicpate, and wished them the best in their new venture. After a second Grand Howl, given as "good bye", Scouter Best led the Cubs from the Circle into the Horseshoe of Scouts, and introduced them to Scouter Small. Scouter Small welcomed them into Scouts and introduced them to their Patrol Leaders. A second ceremony took place after this.

Scout Master John Best welcomed those interested enough to attend. BASEBALL (By C. Burleigh) OSHAWA CONTINUES JINX OVER DODGERS Colborne, June 24th -- Playing a crowd-pleasing game of baseball, the visiting Oshawa Transports scored their second straight shut-out against the Dodgers here at Memorial Park to-night to run their undefeated record to thirteen straight games. The game took less than two hours to complete, which was somewhat of a record for a nine inning game in this park. The Dodgers were not disgraced in dropping this one to a smartly coached team like the Transports, Lefty Durston on the mound for the visitors, was master of the Colborne batters at all times, allowing only four hits, while striking out 7 Dodgers. Jim Hart went the route for the locals and deserved a beter fate than being the victim of twelve hits, two of them being home runs. Line score: r fa e Oshawa ............ 001 300 021 --7 13 0 Colborne............ 000 000 000--0 4 1 Batteries-- Oshawa: Durston, McArthur Colborne: Hart, Forshay DODGERS HANDED SEASON'S WORST DEFEAT BY ROSES Bowmanville, June 26th.--Displaying a lot of nothing in the way of baseball, the Dodgers were handed' a 10-3 shellacking by the local Bowmanville Roses in a loosely-played seven inning contest here to-night. This was a type of baseball that makes the spectators go home early, wondering why they wasted a shilling to watch such a display of baseball. The Colborne manager, switching his batting order completely, was still unable to prevent his Dodgers from suffering their season's worst defeat. Line score: r h e Colborne.............. 000 210 0-- 3 4 2 Bowmanville........ 101 332 x--10 10 2 Batteries-- Colborne: Wright, Forshay Bowmanville: Jones, Buttonshaw (6th), Hopper DODGERS DOWN LEGIONAIRES IN 10th Colborne, June 29th.--At 10.27 tonight all the past sins of the Colborne Dodgers were forgotten by their loyal followers sitting in on this game. Why? Dave Hill had just hit a long fly to deep centre field scoring Forshay from third to give our Dodgers thrilling 7-6 victory over those arch rivals, "The Cobourg Legionaires,' while a record crowd of supporters for both teams sat fingers crossed wondering what the outcome would be and when it would come. Excitment ran high as Jim Hart who had pitched masterful ball with 4-1 lead weakened badly : sixth and seventh with the reading 4-3, playing coach Kelleher replaced him in the eighth, only to have Cobourg score two runs and go one up. Displaying that urge to win spirit the Dodgers promptly went to work on Lawless to score two runs in the bottom half of the eighth and j send Lawless to the showers with the . . , score reading 6-5. Hart came on to The ideal summer afternoon, Satur- j take over the pitching duties again day June 27th, added much to the j in the ninth and was the victim Of highly successful sale of home cook-1 the unearned tying run.
