Going into the bottom half of the ninth Port Hope had scored two runs, one in the 8th and again in the ninth and Turner the first batter up in Colborrie's half of the ninth hit a long home run over the centre field fence. Two of the Port Hope outfielders claimed the ball bounced over the fence and the runne* was entitled to two bases only, but after considerable delay by arguing the point with base umpire Hills and the players of both teams, the umpire in chief, De-vine, declared the ball had cleared the fence and was a home run The manager of the Port Hope team called his players from the field and when they refused to continue to play, the game was awarded to Colborne by a 9 to 0. It was a rather disappointing ending for the fans and players as up to the last of the final i ing, it was one of the best games played here this season. The batteries were: Colborne-Turner, Ball (6) and McFarland Port Hope-Holman and Ashton. ANGLICAN CHURCH REV. R. E. LEMON, L.TK K*ctot First Sunday in the month 9,30 A.M All other Suudays 11.00 A.M.

Ont COLBORNE WIN FIRST GAME OF PLAY-OFF SERIES WITH COBOURG In the first_ of three game series in the play-offs played at Cobourg Monday evening, Colborne Dodgers won by a 11 to 9 score but their victory may cost them the services of one of their outstanding players, Bill Mitts who was severly injured when he was charged at home plate by Jones of Cobourg who scored from third base. Mitts besides taking his regular turn as pitcher, has also played outstanding in the outfield and at bat. I. Post, Clare Haynes and Armstrong starred at bat for Colborne, the latter getting a home run with one on base. DODGERS WIN FIRST PLAY-OFF SERIES IN TWO STRAIGHT GAMES Colborne Dodgers came from behind to win a thrilling game from Cobourg Legionnaires on Tuesday night at Memorial Park by a 7-6 score Jpefore a large crowd of excited fans. Tuesday night's win was the second in two successive nights, the Dodgers having won in Cobourg the previous evening 11 to 9. Bill Ball who pitched the entire game for the winners was inclined .to be a bit wild but in the ininth inning when the' chips were really dwon, struck out the side. Batteries--Colbofne, Ball and Turner: Cobourg, Stanley and Barkhouse. Umpires: Menzies and Hill. Colborne will now meet Whit by in the next series, the first game likely being played at Whitby Monday evening. AN OLD PROVERB He who knows not--and knows not that he knows not-- he is a fool--shun him. He who knows not-- and knows that he knows not-- he is ignorant--teach him. He who knows-- -nd I nows not that he knows-- he is asleep--wake him. He who knows-- and knows that he knows-- he is wise--follow him. ! A woman was writing to her son, congratulating him on his engagement. "Your father and I rejoice in your happiness, my darling boy," she wrote. "It has long been our dearest wish that you should marry some good woman. A good woman is heaven's most precious gift to man. She brings out all that is good in him, and helps to suppress the evil." i Then there was a short postscript in a different handwriting: 'Yotir mother has gone for a tamp. Stay single, you darn ool."
