DRYDEN, ONTARIO, SEPTEMBER "Tien, 1931 KEEWATIN LOST SPLENDID GAME TO DRYDEN TEAM Visitors Scored B5-2--Win In First 9 Innings Game This Year--Played con Saturday Afternoon--RBangust Folipwed . (Miner & News) Dryden's clever ball team visit- ed Keewatin on Saturday even- ing, and in a nine inning game with the 'Flour Town" gpecial- ists scored a 5-2 win, when they bunched their hits in the sixth inning to drive their five runs over the plate, and Ray Robert- son from the box, The game was easily the best seen locally for a long time, for both teams played stellar ball, and both pitchers, especially young Barber for Dryden, pitch- ed steady ball that kept the bat- ters from doing their "stuff, as they apparently wanted to do. For their seven hits, Dryden got five runs, and had three errors chalked up against them, while Keewatin batted out 8 hits, got only two runs, and had 3 errors. Twice Keewatin had the bases filled and the pitcher in the hole, but Barber always had lots in reserve, and was pitching as strong in the ninth innings, as in the first. Robertson for Keewatin struck out 6 in his five and a half inn- ings on the mound, and the youthful Perron who succeeded him, burned them over with such speed that he fanned 7 bat- ters in his three and a half in- nings. Barber from Dryden, who pitched steady ball at all times and kept his hits scattered, struck out 10 in his sessions in the box. Keewatin scored their two runs in the second inning, when Percy Robertson made his first hit. Gallagher followed with a two-bagger, and Joe also of Kenora, clouted out a mighty three bagger that came near being a home run, and. the two runs came home. Barber then tightened up and held Joe at third, while Perron went out (Continued on Page 3) Thanks The Red Cross Committee ack- nowledges with thanks ten dol- lars and eighty-nine cents, ($10.- 89), received from the Oxdrift Memorial Service through Mr B.

RIDING BICYCLE FROM COAST TO COAST Riding a bicycle from Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast in- side of a years time on a wager, is the task chosen by Ernest Briginshaw, a young man of 20 years, who visited here this week on his way west. He Fas been six weeks on the road already and his total trip will be 18,000 miles. The wager was that he could not make the return trip in a years time but Briginshaw feels quite sure it will be an easy matter- He is riding a C.C.M. Bicycle equipped with Dunlop Tires. The sale of sou- venir cards is his only means of making a livelihood. In each town he visits visits he gets the Mayor and other prominent citi- zens to sign a book he carries.

LABOR DAY BASE- CONCLUDES SU(C- CESSFUL SEASON A fair sized enthusiatic crowd of fans witnessed two games of ball on Labor day which conclu- ded the best season in recent years. The first game was called at | 2 pm., when Wabigoon took the field against Whiting's Elks. | Woodsworth, "star twister for 'Wabigoon was opposed on the mound by the youthful Barber. Woodsworth pitched excellent ball, but was let down by ragg- red support on the infield and the Elks came out victors by the score of 7 to 4. The teams lined up as follows: Wabigoon -- (. Pon'on, B. Woodsworth, H. Gummerson, A. Ponton, H. Lundmark, M. Green, S. Norman, G. DMelander, E. Lundmark. Elks -- Clempson, Upton, !. Sfreddo, Barber, Stansfield, Foote, Whiting, Yarworski, Me- Kay. The second game was called at 4.30, when Adair's Tigers opposed the Elks, winners of the first game. Elliott took the mound for the Tigers and was again opposed by the Iron Man, Barber, who after pitching nine innings in Keewatin on Satur- day and another full game Mon- 'day afternoon, now -proeeeded to start his third game in three days. It was expected he might blow up in the last game but he managed to weather the gale and when the dust cleared the Flks were again on the long end of 13-5 score and thereby, be- came the winners of the coveted Scott Trophy emblematical of the District Championship. El- liott also pitched good ball to start but weakened towards the finish and was relieved by Bed- dome who finished the game in strong style. The lineup pwere as follows: Elks -- Clempson, Upton, C. Sfreddo, Barber, Stansfield, Foote, Whiting, Yarworski, Mec- Kay. Tigers -- Mitchell, H. Adair, Berrey, Anderson, Elliott, L. Sfreddo, McArthur, Beddome, O. Adair. : The days celebration was eon- cluded by a dance in the Mill Hall at which the visitors from 1 Wabigoon were guests of the Musie was supplied by Russell's Ramblers and it was hoped everybody had a good time if not a hot time. A great deal of credit is com- ing to the Wabigoon boys anid their supporters for the wonder- ful cooperation they have given us this season, and it is to be hoped next season will be bigger and better, also we thank our own Dryden supporters for the gallant work they have done this season in turning out to ball contests. Baseball seems to have again taken a firm hold in Dryden and outlying districts, as teams have been organized once more and even Oxdrift has shown themsel- ves again, and it is to be hoped the good work is kept up so in future a strong league may be formed in the district. NOTE our valuable men, Eddie Elliiott who has done good work this season is now convalesing in the Red Cross Hospital after an op- eration for appendictis, we are glad to say he is on the road to recovery. MERLE WARREN WINS THE PONY After a whole week of eount- ing to check up the ballots, Manager Bailey and his assist- ants finally reached the climax and on Saturday night 'announe- ed the winner of the pony in the contest just closed.
