THE STRATFORD MIRROR. In The Realm of Sport @ CANADIAN DEPARTMENT STORES snorm Erie and Downie Streets, Stratford. Phone 2500 Stratford fans were cheated of what promised to be a great game of base- ball when the young tornado which drenched the city on Wednesday morning made the Dufferin Park diamond unfit for a ball game. Brantford was to have been the oppo- sition, and those Red Sox can always be counted upon to provide plenty of stiff opposition. The Junior team was rained out too. The kids were to have journeyed to Guelph to take on the Leaflets. There's another sweet game coming up, however. Galt plays here on Saturday. 'Nuf said. a } i Ingersoll has slipped a lot in the baseball world. The Cream Cheesers failed to look like even a shadow of the team which used to be feared in 'amateur baseball circles when they made their bow here on Saturday af- ternoon. A bow was about all they did make, and not a very impressive one at that. The game failed to im- press after the first two frames, in which the 'Nationals garnered seven runs to practically settle the issue then and there. About the only excit- ing thing about the game was that it enabled the locals to slip in for a share of the loop leadership. Now you know what is in store when Galt comes here on Saturday -- if it doesn't rain, F % * _ * Les. Waugh, the lad who made a record at the municipal golf course on Sunday by playing eighteen holes in par, comes from a golfing family. What's more, they are all good, and they are all products of the civic own- ed course. Both Pa and Ma Waugh are top-notch golfers, and Sister Mar- garet is also mighty good, thank you. Les was the winner of the Tip Top Challenge Shield last year. It would seem that he has not lost any of his skill this year. He had a 37, one above par for the first nine on Sunday, but came through with a 35 on the second nine, * * * » Norm Siegel and Bruce Dunlop have run into some tough luck. They have lost the services of their smart-mound artist, Iola Berry, for probably a month, due to a fractured bone in her. ankle. While engaging in a game | between Parkview and Centennial, Young People's teams on Baturded| evening, Miss Berry experienced con- siderable pain in her ankle, which had been bothering her previously. Medical examination revealed the frac- ture as the cause of her trouble. President J. D. Coghill and his trusty fellow golfers triumphed over Vice-President D. B., Strudley and his lads in the annual President versus Vice-President contest at the Country Club on Saturday. The final count was 10 and a half to seven and a half, in favor of the President. The course was in splendid shape for the classic. After viewing the course, one can easily understand why the Country Club has had a big increase in num- ber of new members this year. ' * * bo The other teams in the Community Softball League seem to be losing their fear of the Brothers entry in the circuit. The Larks hopped into the hockey players in their last en- nounter and marked up an impressive win. When the Brothers team was entered, it immediately became the bugbear of the other entries, After Kroehlers had shown that the puck- chasers could be beaten, however, the rest appeared to take heart, Bunny Fryer's charges have a lot of fight left in them, however, and a couple of defeats are not likely to prevent them from turning in a lot of good baseball yet. SHOULD BRING CROWD Race fans who were on hand for the first harness race meet of the season, earlier in the month, will not take any chances on passing up the second event which is being staged at the agricultural grounds here on June 21.
