An operation was attempted to save his life; but the disease had progressed too far and it was found to be too late to do anything that would really help. Mr. Swan, who had been in Toronto for the operation, was brought home, and in ten days his life was closed on July 23rd, 1934. Mr. Swan was born at Borelia; 72 years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Swan. He was one of a family of seven children, four boys and three girls. Of this family only three sur- vive---Miss Margaret Swan, Nicholas and James. Mr. Swan lived in Port Perry all his life. At Borelia, the blacksmith shop of his father became the centre of his interest. Later the shop was moved to the vacant building just north of Mr. Peter's pump work, and the family began the making of bug- gies, cutter and sleighs, under the fiom name of "Swan's Carriage Works". The business developed well for many years and the present com- modious quarters were occupied. But of late years transportation conditions have changed entirely and the business reverted to the old trade of black- smithing. Mr. John Swan was a good workman and an honorable citizen. His interests were centred in his home and his busi- Luckily they! ness where his kindness and his re- liability carned for him the high the grain had a fair start, and they esteem of his friends and associates, as do not seem to eat standing crops, as they 'do the early sprouting grain, The auto party had an enjoyable trip and look well.

Apart from this he took no part in public life. Thirty-one years ago Mr. Swan mar- ried Miss Clara A. Henry, of Scugog, who survives him. There was one child from this marringe--a little girl who died in infancy. The funeral, which was largely at- tended, was conducted by Rev. D. A.

Girls' Softball On Friday, July 20, the Port Perry girls entered a tournament at Black- stock. The three teams entered were Blackstock, Honeydale and Port Perry. The first game was between Port and Blackstock, ending in our favour. The play-off between Port Perry and Honeydale also ended in our favour, and so we returned home with another tournament to our credit. On Wednesday, July 25th, we played in a tournament at Uxbridge. The three teams entered were Uxbridge, Brooklin and Port Perry. -The draw was made and Uxbridge got the by. The game between Brooklin and Port Perry, which was, by the way, our thirteenth game this season, almost proved disastrous. After the first half of the first inning, the score was 7-0 in favour of Brooklin. But Old Man Luck didn't desert us after all, and we defeated Brooklin to the tune of 11-10. Then we played off with Ux- bridge, and won the game 15-9. And so we won a second tournament within the week. : On Friday, July 27th, Uxbridge. played a league game with us here. Uxbridge certainly displayed some fine playing; and even though we won, the score, which was 14-13, was a little too close for comfort. On Tuesday, July 31st, we visited Greenbank. Greenbank are noted as good losers as well as good players. We defeated them 13-4. : And so ends the Girls' Softball news for this week. We hope to have more good news for you next week. Don't forget to be present at our games on Port Perry's BIG DAY, Aug 6th... All the league teams are expected: name- ly, Brooklin, Northminster (Oshawa), | Uxbridge, Scugog and Port. We still maintain our record of no defeats this year; we've won sixteen games out of sixteen. But how long will our good luck (or should I say good playing) last? Who knows? But maybe your support would help us last the season. We're counting on you to cheer for us on the 6th, and so till then--solong!

Port Perry Phone 238 "HARDBALL Port Perry loses to Beaverton in league fixture but takes sudden death game and cinch second. place. On Wednesday, July 256th, Port Perry played its last league game in Beaverton and were beaten by the score of 10-6. The Port Perry outfield was outlucked and at no time seemed to strike their stride in gathering .up the long outfield drives. Behind the stellar pitching of Murray Clarke the infield clicked perfectly with Williams making some great pickups at short. Williams and S. Beare led the Port Perry batters with four singles each. The home team seemed to be hitting very well but they just couldn't bunch their hits, and consequently there were plenty of them stranded on the bases. Clarke, for Port, had five strike-outs and issued three walks; and would have taken a victory except for a few tough brakés on errors. | ) R- H. E. Port Perry --000130011-- 8 17 2 Beaverton --00203212x--10 13 1 Left on bases--Beaverton 9, Port Perry 14. _ "In the sudden death game at Sunder- land on Saturday afternoon, July 28, Port Perry took their old rivals from Beaverton into camp and. cinched the second place. It was a wild hitting affair with Port Perry coming from behind to take the game 16-11. Port Perry got away #0 a flying start when they scored two runs in the first inning. Gibson was hit by a pitched ball and a single by Williams advanced Gibson. Then McGill ground- ed to Noble and Philips flied out to McRae, Gibson scoring after the catch. S. Beare singled and Williams scored on the hit, In the '8rd, some very loose fielding and two errors enabled Beaverton to score four runs, and then more in the fourth; and let me tell you things began to look pretty black for the home team--the was 9-4 in favour of Beaverton. At this stage of the game Williams relieved Clarke who up to this time had pitched splendid ball but had received no support. From the fourth inning on it was all Port Perry, they seemed to be a new team and they certainly had Beaverton bottled up- In the sixth and seventh the Port Perry boys went to work on the Beaverton pitchers, West and Noble, and scored eight runs. They came back in the first half of the ninth and scored three more, Beaverton were held in check until the last half or the ninth when they came through with two runs. ) - The Beaverton team seemed to thoroughly disorganized and certainly found it tough to swallow the pill that spelled defeat for them. Williams and Clarke both pitched 6] stellar ball for the winners and cer- tainly had the Beaverton batters whif- fing at their curves fast hops. Clarke struck out three and passed one in four innings; Williams struck out three and passed two in five innings. In the seventh inning with O. Beare, Gerrow and Harris on the runway and Noble pitching for Beaverton, Me. Millan banged out a three bagger which' cleared the bases and then he '| was a lovely hit and it started the scored on a nice single by Gibson. It fireworks that finished with a bang. ) ~~ R.

'On Monday, July 30th, Beaverton and Sunderland played a sudden death game in Sutton to decide fourth place. Sunderland took the game 5-2 thus eliminated Beaverton from the play- offs.
