i'llfSfllll SENEIHS WIN WW EASE , Weston elected to defend the south- . ern goal and faced a strong wind with the sun in their eyes. The draw went " to St. Kitts, who carried the ball in, but'lost it when Farr's long stick in- ~tercepted the pass. "Weston. however, lost the ball before it got out very '»far. Red Millar missed a perfect . pass right in front of the Weston nets 1; that looked like a real opening. for / St. Kitts. The ball travelled to the aside and the Weston defence did not I make any. effort to field it. The St. .Kitts lost the ball when, Roddy Mc- "Ewen picked oft a nice one and pass- c' ed it carefully out to Kingdom, who ttrarried it down, passed to Macdonald. 2 Mac beat his man in, but missed the iggoal on a wide shot. Weston recov- ered the ball and worked it out to :vthe side of the goal, Farr came up the .eentre. took the pass. juggled the 11mm three times and got steadi'ed away _ in/"thase to score the first goal. King- I' dom got the draw off at centre, but \vlost at the goal. There was some wr loose fielding by both teams and. St. _/Catharines got possession. carried the 5 ball down, only to lose it PA the Wes- ,' ton defence. Farr took another try for the goal on a splendid rush up the field. ‘His shot was high over the nets. It was only Fred's good stop r" that saved a, score as the ball came l back to the Weston goal. He was not t so _fortunate, however, a, few mo- ‘ximents later, when a hard shot hit his pad and glanced into the net for the -tirst counter. This score gave the 'Garden City boys, a little more pep. 'They came down fast and the loose workrof the Weston team was appar- . ent. Fred was called upon to, save ..two hard shots. The pressure was . relieved by Roddy Kingdom, who got the ball and shot a hard one at the goalkeeper, who handled the shot , Well. Harold got the ball on an in- Vtercepted pass and drilled one that went ‘wide. Lorne McEwen was again ”called upon to relieve the attack on the Weston goal. St. Kitts' home was _ working fast and hard and the Wes- ton; home was throwing away chances, so that the ball was soon back on the Weston goal. Fred had two hard ones shot straight at him. They beat him when the St. Kitts home carried the mall around the nets s,rid slipped one T in the side for their second counter. l This made the Weston team take hold of matters. The ball travelled down tist, Pg,' Fue' ‘I‘I‘muiinmumnun-munmIuIufi’l’iiiluIn:IIfiiI111"“it?“IIIn‘n'n'n'ifinIuIuinuIiIIIIuxmill-Lug!{giganujuguumum-E =EuulnluInfillnnlnuumuIIIIIIIInIu-nuina:nunuunxnlluuuuluIInnununluluInInuulunllunnunullllulrnnluuu EI _ _ On Saturday there was a very fair trowd turned out to see the Seniors play their last home fixture of the group. The. feeling was general that ”the game would be an easy win for Ithe locals. This fact and the big game at the Beach kept the crowd down. Those who came, however, saw one of _the cleanest ’xhibiti-ons ot lacrosse Played here ii' a’long time. There was not a p nalty issued during the afternoon. /‘Both teams were taking no changes. St. Catharine's home, while young, worked very fast. Their passing and stick work was good. Their speed at times was excellent. Had they a little more experience and weight they would certainly have been a great factor to reckon with. As it is they are likely to upset one ot the Toronto, teams in the remaining fix- tures. Weston, with their heavy Wir. fence and years of experience, were too much for the young home. They held them out with ease. In fact, the defence were having a little competi- tion between themselves. Farr and' ,,McEWen were trying to see how many .goals they could score. Thus they 'were away from their positions quite often during the game. Fred was called upon to make some good stops, which he did in his usual style. The, home was not playing in their usual; finished style. They missed passes and did not field the ball with the same snap as they did a week ago. i The game wits a good workout and in in spots the fornier snap of the twin was shown to good advantage. This! min and Beaches' loss gives Weston a i decided advantage for the group. _ St. Catharines Team Were Fast, But Not Fast Enough. 11th Annual H Hkprticultural ' Exhibition The Game by Quartem TWO DAYS 1 - TBRSl)hy, Mil, 26tli---7.3i) to. li) Elm; FREDAY, Aim, '2fith--3 MI. to 12 MI, Special Evening Programme Each Evening ORCHESTRA AND REFRESHMENTS Held in Graham's New Ford Garage s, SEE T THE PRIKE LIST AND MAKE YOUR ENTREES EARLY WESTON UPPER F'LOOR Fourth Period "s, This was all Weston. The boys simplyjromped all over. They threw away chances after chances to score after working the ball right in to the 'itroa1., It was Kingdom who scored first, then Russ Dickin, then Harold poultel‘, Farr and McEwen tried hard ftO'break the tie existing between iliem, but neither could get the score. Fred made some very fine stops while {Shese two were trying to fatten up their scoring averages. The game with the score 7 to 4 for Weston. The third was another slow period, like the first. The Weston defence players were out to score and repeat- edly left their post open. The result was a series of end to end rushes. St. Kitts opened up the period with a score, which was a nice piece ot stick work and a, good shot. The man came in, passed the ball tothe out- side when around his man and took the pass back ‘with his man on his back and scored a goal which was disallowed Because it was shot from inside the crease. Kingdom evened the period score up on another of his hard shots that was travelling very fast when it reached the nets. PlaIv was rather loose and just before the whistle St. Kitts beat Fred for their second counter. The period closed with the score 7to 4 for Weston. Coulter behind the nets, Will scored a beauty, which made it number three. There were then several at- tacks made by the Weston home. The homes each tried to take a shot,which resulted in some wild shooting. The next goal went to Roddy McEwen, who, after shooting, caught the re- bound and scored number four in this period. The last score of the period went to Kingdom after a nice rush and combination, in which he took one of those wicked shots that travel very fast. This made five goals tor the locals in this period, while St. Kitts were hardly dangerous. t The Second Period It was noticed right on the start that the indifference of the Weston team was gone. Daddy Coulter was at his old place and right from the draw, there was the old team work. The ball travelled down with speed, Macdonald to Gordon "Couiter, with Farr coming in fast on the centre making the opening, and Coulter shot hard and fast for the counter. The next was a. repetition ot some fast play at the St. Kitts goal and Farr was checked heavily just as he was getting steadied to shoot. There was a bad. pass that gave the ball to St. Kitts. Roddy, however, took care of the attack and the ball came back fast from Gordon Coulter to Reilly to Gordon Dickin, who netted number two for Weston. Weston lost the draw, .but, Kingdom recovered the ball. Mac hit the goal post, then some very fast work took place. The ball travelled from Harold to King- dom to Reilly to Kingdom to Gordon and buzzed around the St. Kitts’ goal, but they cquld not beat the goalie. The quarter ended with St. Kitts in the lead by two to one. Of time and energy can be avoided by the use of our Classified .Wagt Ads. Time and energy represent good dollars in this age.

This gave them no rest but they carried on and played fifteen minutes, but it was all the same to the locals as the Shamrocks were not equal to the pace that was set up. Billy Ross got the chances during the period and he also accepted them. Kingdom received quite a compliment during the whole game. likewise Jim, mie Holley and Jimmie Coulter, as they were well watched and it was partly through that that some of the other boys repeated the scoring. Billy .poss was alone in’ front of the nets when Jimmie Coulter came down and made a nice pass, which shot between the flags from Billy‘s stick. Jimmie iHolley tore down the field and beat this man by a good margin, but was I met by a couple who were intent on ‘stopping him. That did not deter ‘Jimmie. as he simply%passed the ball to Billy Ross, who accomplished the ' Third Quarter Short rests were allotted the boys owing to the senior game which was to follow and accordingly the boys took the field after a short inter- rpissionwf about five minutes. Play- ing against the sun and the wind the locals started in to do something and they did not let up until they had done it either, for in this period the Shamrocks did not show any signs of life whilst the Westonites seemed to be full of pep. Everybody played the ball and the first man to get through was Lorne Mallaby, who played the whole opposition and broke up Thorn- ston’s defence and scored the first goal of the session. Vic Hogg was playing in the new and he opened up in order to show what he could do. By way of showing he came across with the goal that put Weston in the lead, which they held from then on- wards. Mallaby then saw his oppor- tunity as Captain and adopted some very clever tactics. Each Red Shirt covered an Irishman and worked them away from their positions and as a result a clear opening was left. John- ston came tearing down the field and went right through the breach with- out any opposition, scoring the fifth goal. Just to show that the same thing was good and worth trying again, the local boys staged the pen formance once more and Johnston accordingly netted the sixth, which also satisfied the boys that they knew how when they wanted to. That dis- pray ended the scoring for that be- riod, which was six to three in favor ot \Veston. I First Quarter Shamrocks won the toss and decid- ed to play with the wind and the sun and thereby they hoped to play Wes- ton off their feet' and run in enough goals to.win the game. However, they did not know that the Weston boys found favor in playing against the elements and what Followed surely proved it. Play was strong and vary- ing but Weston had the edge. 1Malla- by got the first chance and grabbed the ball right in the midst of the Irishmen's defence, shooting straight and low and beating Thornton for the first counter. In a few minutes they accepted the second chance and Mall- aby repeated. This livened the crowd up-and they realized that they were going to see a game of lacrosse. This also had the effect of a stimulant on the Irish, for they'came back strong and after taking a series of shots at Dan Charboneau, who was all the time whisking, batting. bunting and using every form of clearance, they managed to evade him and slipped in between the flags for their first. This ended the scoring for the period with Weston leading two to one. Second Quarter Shamrocks took the offensive right from the start and tried all sorts-ot manoeuvres in an endeavor to. beatl the Weston goalie. They brought the odd man down each time and it look- ed as if the Weston defence would keep on turning them back as Dan Holley seemed always to be in the right place to pick out that dangerous shot. However, they heat the, two’ Dans and netted two counters in quick succession that made the score look’ bad for the locals. During this quar- ! ter the only penalty of the game was handed out when the Shamrock cen- tre man drew a couple of minutes for handing out a jolt to one of the lo- cals. Despite their handicap they drew well and kept the Red Shirts very busy during the entire period. The score ended three to two in favor of Shamrocks. Scarboro Beach was the Scene of two very exciting games on Saturday last, when the local intermediate team took on the Shamrocks in the same group, and provided the curtain raiser, which was followed by the senior aspirants. The ~greenshirts bowed to the locals on July lst, when they played their first game here, and despite their strengthened team, they were no match for the red shirts. Only during one period were the home team dangerous, but the locals re- covered so strong that the Shamrocks threw up the sponge, and tossed away the. hope that they would even be runners-up in the race, which has al- ready been won by Oshawa. The re- sult of the game did not have any effect on the winners, as they have at- ready cinched the district, and it was out of good sportmanship that the teams decided to play out the schedule, otherwise it would have appeared as sore losers, and that cannot be said of either team, By the promises issued by the Shamrocks. everything pointed to a defeat for Weston, but the locals have been too long at the game to take everything that is pro- claimed against them, and their win was not any real "surprise. It was easily seen who favored Weston when the first goal was scored for Weston, as one unearthly shriek went up from the throats of Tom Griffith, Jimmie Cameron, Tom Maguire and Jack Allan. It appeared that this quar- tette had it all arranged, whilst far off in the distance, what sounded to be the echo, was afterwards found out to be Arthur Mallaby, who also got his cheer in. The feature of the game was that Weston only had their ten regular men and no substitutes, and accordingly all the players were forced to go‘the whole route, whilst their opponents had the limit, thus giving them any advantage that might be found therein.

As a final effort, Shamrocks came through with their last gasp and netted their fourth thud, makirfig the score eight to four in favor of Weston. Weston bowlers have a real tim; and are playing a game that is equa to the best. One rink skipped by N. J. McEwen and composed of Prof. B. W. Wade, T. G. Maguire and S. H. Hill. will meet the British bowlers next Monday at St. Matthew's rink. The committee are busy arranging for the next game for the Gillies Tro- phy with Brampton. Weston has won three of these games, while the Flow- er Town has registered one win. If Weston wins the next game the cup will rest here for the winter. Soon have to increase the insurance on the club house with all the trophies on hand. W J. Inch has had all sorts of hon- ors thrown his way. He has worked tor them all. He was a runner of fame and a footballer who made his- tory in the early days. As a bowler he has represented Weston in many , tournament. While he has not al- ways carried home the big prize, he has nearly always been near the top. You will find many a piece of silver and glass in his home, the result of these little bowling expeditions. His persistent hunt for these big trophies is being rewarded and success is" due to his consistent performance. Toad Farr is not new to the public eye. His great achievements as a hockey king is known far and wide. His fame as a lacrosse defence man was not made yesterday. He is the great team mate of Roddy and Hap on the Weston defence. As a bowler he has been most successful. He can always be depended upon to --do the right thing at the right moment. The gallery has no effect upon him and his nerve is steady at all times. He made d good third." _ Steve Hill, who has been the hero in many a, bowlers' game, is one of the old standbyes in the club. He has been to all the big tournaments, far and near, and has been the runner up and the also ran on many occasions. He can be depended upon to put.in, a good day always. It's a long way you have to go if you want to win a, prize in the Domin- ion tournament. This is the premier event in the bowling world. Each year there is intense interest taken in the games and the entries. All clubs I ot any standing have their eyes ',trfl upon winning the second great prize; in this tournament namely, the On- tario Cup. N. J. McEwen was the winner, with A. M. McEwen, Dr. Peir- son and Wm, Greaves. This year the ' Weston rink, led by W. J. Inch, has! Canon Gould, the active missionary; winning the first game in the first'; trophy he lost, then won eight straight ( games in the Ontario Cup trophy. It, was a real hard test and every credit I and honor is due to the rink that) pulls through. In winning the event it was necessary to go an extra end with Hogarth, the great east end) Bowler. The rink played in great) form. The lead,.R. W. Wade, just waded right into the game, and was always on hand as the game grew. S. H. Hill was there piling them up like mountains for the opposition to overcome, then Toad Farr was not so far away that he did not leave any openings, While the skip, W. J. Inches, was always to be counted and meas- ured when the ends were close. It was a great combination, Wade, Hill, Farr and Inch. They made a name. for themselves and they brought hon- or to our town. . Each Man an om Bowler _', Prof., as he is known about town, is an old bowler and one that every- one is well pleased to call into a game. His leading his been a feature this year. As president of the Wes- ton Bowling Club, it is indeed most fitting that he should bring this honor to the club. He sis an enthusiastic bowler. W. J. llllllll WINS fllfflu] 133????
