'Locals Take First of Play-Offs in Softball Haileybury softball team won the first play-off game of the Temiskaming Softball League at Cobalt Tuesday night, 6,4, after an exciting nine innings. "Baldy" Northcott, pitching for the locals, had sixteen strike- outs to his credit, walked two and slapped out a home run and single as his contribution to the win. : Ted Tomney did the hurling for Cobalt, and outside of one frame, the fifth, did well. Six of the Haileybury boys whiffed the air, and five walked in the nine frames, while two got on base by errors. Cobalt counted two in the first inning when Tomney walked, stole second, advanced to third while McDougall was being toss- ed out at first, and scored on Rop- er's single. Mathieson's tap ad- vanced Roper, who scored when Northcott threw badly to first on Abram's roller. Haileybury got one run back in the fourth when "Baldy" hit for the circuit, to deep right field. In the fifth, Fitzmaurice got a life when Pearce dropped his high one in right, took second on a passed ball,and third while Mor- iarity was being thrown out at first. Walsh rolled to short and Fitz beat the throw home. Elliott walked and Tupling also drew four. Ostrom hoisted a sacri- fice fly to left, Walsh scoring. Northcott crashed to centre, and two more runs came in, making the score 5-2. Cobalt got one back in their half of the fifth, with two down. Mathieson singled to short and Abrams tripled to right, but was out at the plate trying to stretch it to a homer. Cobalt added one more in the eighth. Abrams got a life when Walsh muffed his pop, stole sec- ond and came home on Paterson's single to right. The locals put over their final tally in the ninth. Young Elliott singled to right, went to second, on a passed ball and scored on! Ostrom's mammoth clout to left,, which Maher reached, but failed to hold. \ Joe Gariepy and Jack Pearce! of Cobalt, handled the game and; did a good job of it. They kept; the players going and disputes' were few. | The return game will be played| at the Public School grounds in| Haileybury this (Thursday) ev-. ening at 6 o'clock. i The box score: HAILEYBURY ane De nOa Te Hitiothernt? na, 2.2 Of 1 0 Diniplingsc. aac: Bl Ouse 3.21 Ostrom Sbses 4 Oe ls Onn) Northcott;'p. 2-51 1 2 371 1 McCurdy, 2b...5 0 0 0 0 0 Godin} ltt:..2A4 "Of08070 1 Fitzmaurice, cf 4 1 0 0 0 0 Moriarity;sis.7-0| O10) 150 Walsh, Ib. .....

Jack Yohn who won the event last year, and later participated in the Wrigley Marathon at Toronto, thereby becoming professionalized, took off from Dawson's Point with the others in the race on Satur- day, and finished well in front of the nearest competitor, but it was announced that Yohn was only working out in preparation for this year's marathon at To- ronto-Ex. Irving "Curly" Stut- terford, of North Bay, was next in, and there was also a question as to his amateur status. Herb- ert Parks, another North Bayite, followed, and Russell Poppleton, of Haileybury was next. Then Doris Poppleton and Grace Sul- phur, both Haileybury girls, and the only ladies in the race, finish- ed the swim shortly behind Rus. Poppleton. Two entrants from New Liskeard, percy White, son of the donor of the trophy, and Angus McGregor, were taken out of the water suffering, cramps. The committee will likely see that amateur cards will be pro- uced by entrants before starting in future years, to eliminate dis- putes and bickerings. A tremendous crowd lined all vantage spots on the beach to get a glimpse of the natators coming in, and each one received a share of the applause, the girls Cobalt Party Unlocks Mystery of the North A prospecting party from Co- balt has proved to be the key which unlocked a two-year-old mystery of the Canadian North, Hugh Park, general manager of the Nipissing Mine, has learned. Men from his company, crossing the barren lands west of Hudson Bay-in the course of an expedi- tion to the country near Chester- field Inlet, found the frozen bod- ies of John Hornby and his two nephews, who perished from starvation in a cabin on the The- lon River, and for whom search has been made since last Decem- ber. Mr. Park has been told official- ly by headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Ot- tawa that the party of four head- ed by S. H. Wilson, well known northern miner, and out on a prospecting trip for the Nipissing came across the bodies of the three men. According to the message sent to Mr. Park, the police prefer to give no details until receipt at headquarters ofa report by mail from Staff Sergt. M. A. Joyce, in charge of the Mounted Police Post on Chester- field Inlet, from whom first word of the finding of the bodies came by wireless last week. There is no word in Cobalt from Wilson of this incident of the party's trip from Great Slave Lake to Chesterfield Inlet, but it is assumed that, in the course of the journey, the Cobalters had come across the lonely cabin on the Thelon River in which Horn- by and his nephews had died, and that, when-the police post was reached, the infermation had been given to Sergeant Joyce. The recent report from Ottawa stated that this party had left Fort Reliance, on Great Slave Lake, in June, 1926, and that a general lookout had been main- tained by police in that district for its members. Wilson is ex- pected back in Cobalt in the fall. especially receiving the huzzas of the crowd. The trophy will not be award- ed until the committee is satisfied] - with the status of the partici- pants. F CONDENSED ADsS.. in The Haileyburian always give the advertiser satisfaction.

Tup- ling and Freddie Clark assisted Liskeard softballers to defeat a picked team from North Bay at , the Beach on Saturday afternoon ;at the T. & N. O. picnic. North- cott pitched, Tupling caught and Clarke played left field, and they helped materially. The game looked to be settled in North Bay's favor, when the ninth in- ning rolled around with the score 7-4 for the Gateway City, but a couple of safeties, mixed up with an error or so, and Baz. Donohue's home run, with one on, tucked the game away for the homesters, with one out. George Wilson, crack hurler jof the Commercials, North Bay ! City League champs., was on the j hill for the losers, with "Berard jcatching. Wilson has a fast ball ;but it hasn't nearly the speed |that Baldy's smoky one possess- jes. Wilson's control was good, 'and he used a neck-high ball for \the third strike, which had the Liskeardites biting steadily.
