G. BE. Winners, In the first game of the semi-fin- al series of the intermediate 0.B. A.A., Peterboro General Rlectrics won from Deloro 8-2 in a thirteen: inning battle. Mve Kingston boys figured prominently on the Deloro team with "Alec" Ada hurling, || "Jim" Quinn catehing, Schultz at first, "Art" Quinn at second and Vern. Johnston at short. Arthur Quinn's fielding snd base-running, were sensational. There were forty assists during the game and forty- one put-outs at first base. The winners of this series win Micely line up against the winners in the Husears-Brockville-Wolfe Ie- land series. ' Slightly Mistaken, The Peterboro Examiner gives the Kingston Circle Six credit for sensational fielding here Saturday but says they played 'over their heads." The E¥emitfdr has another guess coming. In no part of the series with Peterboro have the local youngsters played thelr usual top form, Against Ottawa Boys' Club they showed it but not since, Per- haps they may give the Lakeviews 8 taste of it In the final game. Peterboro opinion seems to favor Trenton for the playoff. That's where Circle Bix put the Peterborg Junior hockeyists out of the running last winter, -------------------- f Joyceville School , Fair.

CNIDA PREPARING T0 WAR ON SHUGGLERS Country Is Out $15,000 4000 Per Annum--~Plan Scheme of Co-Operation. Ottawa, Sept. 16.--A scheme of Co-operation is being worked odt be- tween the customs department and various Canadian manufacturing in- terests, the aim of which ia to wage war upon smugglers, whose opera tions to-day are on a wholesale scale. It is estimated that upwards of $60,000,000 worth of dutisble com« mondities have been smuggled into Canada from the United States in the past twelve months. This whole- sale smuggling is done chiefly in fast motor or motor boats which carry alooholic beverages to the U. 8. and beverages to the United States and make United States goods their return cargo on a commission basis. The loss to the dominfon treasury is a serious one, being estimated un- officially at about $16,000,000 a year. In addition it is contended that the placing of $50,000,000 worth of emuggled goods on the Canad{an market has the effect of complete- ly dislocating production and dis- tribution within the dominiom. In the textile business alone it is eoti- mated that from 5,000 to 7,000 peo- ple Bave been thrown out of work 8 a consequénce, The customs department was not organized with any such wholesale smuggling, as 18 now in fores, in contemplation. It has neither the appropriation mor the machinery for the policing which is nécessary to stop it. So that a system of co- operation between the department; and the interests involved Is belng worked -out and effective aotion is anticipated. : A ------------------ 1 Quadruplet Babies Thriving, Bt.
