Charlie can referee if he wants to. However, Sideliner is right as regards 90 per cent. of the referees that haste worked this year. Some have been wonderful players, in fact stars, and because of this are called referees. The poorest refereeing Weston has played under has been this type. Sideliner has forgotten Ernie Doyle when he talks about Querrie. Hugh Jack is also good. We want referee's who don't get stage fright and rule half a team off at once, and Presi- dent Hanley should instruct his re- ferees re low checking. Can the Weston lacrosse team get in condition to win the group from Brampton? That is what the fans in Toronto and Weston are asking. Brampton has one' more game with Maitlands in Toronto and one at home; one in Toronto with Torontos and one at home; one at home with Weston and one at Weston. Weston have one at home and one in Toronto with Maitlands; one at home and one at Toronto with Torontos; one in Brampton and one at home with Brampton . Will one have an off day and 10se? The team that falters is lost or will it go into a play-off? Don't fail to follow the boys. Your support may cheer them on to victory. Don't fail to take in the Weston- Toronto game, Weston Fair Grounds, Saturday, July 29th. Game starts at 8.30 sharp. Ernie Doyle and Hugh Jack will likely handle the game. l The Torontos are here Saturday with the famous Bill McArthur in goal. The best game that has been played in Weston this year was the Weston-Toronto game and don't for- get Torontos are going to take a fall out of seine one. 'Is it going to be Weston? No team in the senior series has so many outstanding players on their line-up as have Torontos. Bill McArthur, without a peer as a goal keeper; Deidrick, point, picked on last year's all-star team; Vie. Kirby, Bill Harcourt, the two Ussher boys from the coast; Dr. Wendell Holmes, the ex-Varsity star; Dod. Laceby, a Mis- ton product, and a host of others. To- rontos have no old sores to settle. They are a clean, genlemanly bunch, who play a close checking game. It's lacrosse all the time. Only two pen- alties in the last game and they for minor offences. A lot of Weston people journeyed to the Beach last Saturday to see Brampton and Maitlands hook up. It was a well played game and one that was good to look at. Maitlands had easily 75 per cent. of the play. They looked all over the better team and that they were not returned win- ners is bad to understood. Alfred, the big Indian, Jimmy McLean and Buck Johnston were the stars for Maitlands, while Mara, Geo. Sproule and Machell were outstanding on the Brampton team. Brampton won by a score of 3-2. ' SPORTS OF ALL SORTS Watch for the Jazz land LACROSSE On the Fair Grounds, Cor. Eglington Ave. and Weston Road, St. Simon's, who practically won the group title when they defeated River- sides on July 15th, will take a lot of stopping. They have a wonderful team of big strong players,' all in the pink of conditibn. The Saints take lacrosse seriously with the result that to-day they [are in the best shape of any team in the senior O.A.L.A. Tom- my McBride, of Woodbridge, plays goal . He is good. They compare him with Suds. Sutherland. Dad Hayes and Gene Dopp are the veterans on the defence and there are no better. Lount, Hall and Nettleship, have just come up from junior. The home is the best scoring machine in the game today. Husky and fast and they' have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that they are game. McGregor, Scott, Me- Gee, Robinson & Co. have thrown a surprise into the lacrosse world. ' The 3rd period was the best of the game. The play was up and ddwn the field. Woodbridge were playing the Weston boys off their feet. Toby scored on a pretty effort for Wood- bridge. Greenwood's goal keeping saved Weston. D. Coulter got Wes- ton's 3rd goal. It was dark when the last quarter started. Woodbridge had much the better of this. Hard luck in their shooting lost them, the game. T Maynard, at point for Woodbridge, was the best man on the field. He plays a game after the style of Tote Farr. The work of both goal keep- ers was a treat, while Houston of Woodbridge spoiled his good' work by his dirty tactics. Jack Allen handled the -game to the satisfaction of all. This final score 'was.. Weston 4, Woodbridge l, The Woodbridge midget lacrosse team visited Weston last Wednesday and threw a scare into Harry Jennings and his youngsters. The first half of the game was slow. There seemed to be a bad feeling between certain players. Chuck Barron got the first goal and Doug. Coulter the second. The 2nd period went scoreless. Lund was playing a great game on the field for Weston till he got a nasty crack over the eye. It slowed him up for the rest of the game. Riversides passed through here last Saturday night on their way from Orangeville where they lost to the team of that town by the score of 8-2. They reported they had a good time. Orangeville beat Weston 7-2. Mimico beat St. Simon's 15-2. Of course they were exhibitions: Are Mimico and Orangeville-that good? If so then why play out the seniors? However, we'll take the senior winner tor the play-off. Skee Wart, the old Brampton la- crosse fielder, whom they coaxed out of retirement for the Weston game, has the fever in earnest. He journey- ed last Tuesday night and played for the Oakville lacrosse team against Aura Lee junior team. Weston bids fair to lose its good name as a square and fair sporting town. At the Weston-Woodbridge game last Wednesday night a number of Weston boys sat on the side lines imploring the Weston players to cut him open, use the butt end, etc. The day is past in Weston for this kind orsupporters who should be ordered off the fair grounds forever. Admission 15c Children Sc TENTH ANNUAL Proceds in aid of Church of the Good Shepherd The Weston Driving Club last Satur- day put on their first matinee and are to be congratulated. Two well-filled races made up the afternoon's sport. It requires five heats in each race be- fore a winner could be declared. Beaches were to have played River- sides a game before the season opened. It was a benefit affair for some East End charity. Riversides got a trip out of town and St. Simon's offered to take their place, but Beaches de- clined as they figured they would beat St. Simon's so easily it would hurt their gates when thri"season opened. Just another one of those good things that went wrong. ~Will Weston have a hockey team this winter or will the boys have to go outside the town to play the winter game? Will Weston have a curling rink this winter or will it be necessary to impose on outside clubs for the odd game? Weston has three fine tennis courts, one clay, one'cinder and one grass court. How about a town tournament. Let's 'see who is the best single player among the men, also the women; the best pair of double players, men and ladies, and also the best pair of mig"id doubles. It would require very little effort to secure prizes and capable men, outsiders from the different clubs to handle the draw and games. Will any club in Weston put on some smokers this coming fall or win- ter? Hundreds of Weston people take in the ones held in West Toronto. August 19th will put Weston on the golfer's map. The new 18-hole course, oNwhieh every member of the Weston Golf Club is so proud, will be official.. ly opened. Hurd and Taylor, the two Old Country stars, will be the added attraction. One of the surprises last week was Conacher winning the\100 yards and 220 yards race at the Western City Baseball League field day. To do so he disposed of Joe Breen, the ex-Var- sity star, who three years ago was called the fastest sprinter. Young Men Merchants . . Married Men Commuters . Westmount . Firemen . . Batteries..

ODDS AND ENDS OF SPORT SOFT BALL LEAGUE League s tanding 61 l There is a very important feature that the people of Islington should look into. That is the transportation facilities to and from the city. At the present time the train schedule is very bad for commuters generally. Under the standard time system there is not ,very much trouble. But with the {trains running on standard time and ,'the city offices running on daylight saying, those using the train have frfund the time rather bad. The buses have/been coming to the help very well 'and doing good work. Our street- (car service has never been of any use. iThis is one great place where con- :siderable effort can be put forth to (secure a better service. The train. ser- ,vice depends upon the.other stops and {Islington is only a small item to the {company It is different with the elee- Etric line. If proper representation is ‘made and enough business can be shown, there is no doubt but that the company can be persuaded to carry out a better service. S6mething must .be done along this line and by a body At the recent examination of the Canadian Academy of Music the fol- lowing pupils of Miss Gertrude Cul- ham, Islington, were successful -- Primary theory, Miss Aileen Peacock, first class honors; junior piano, Miss Aileen Peacock, honors; Miss Lorna Garbutt, honors; Miss Isabel Shaver. Primary piano, Miss Mabel Jefferson, first class honors; Miss Ioline, Larn- son. Preparatory piano, Miss Olive Beamish, first class honors; Miss Isa- bel Mercer. Mr. and Mrs. McPherson are spend- ing a couple of weeks' holiday in Muskoka. Miss Nellie Anderson returned home on Monday last after a very enjoyable visit with friends in the western prov- inees. Miss Jessie Weitch is holidaying at the Island. / Mr. and Mrs. Walter Moorehouse and family left this week on a motor trip to their old home in Chatham. Rev. Mr. Franks will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist Church on Sunday next. k The O'Brien property, consisting of twenty-two acres, has been sold by the Matthews and Johnston, Agency and will be subdivided into building lots. We are pleased to report that Mr. McDonald has returned home from the hospital and is making satisfactory progress towards health and strength. Dr. Parry intends opening up dental parlors in the Love Building about the first, of September. On Saturday last the children and friends of St. George's Church enjoy- ed their anndal Sunday school picnic to High Park. The cloudy skies and frequent downpours of the refreshing rain seemed but to increase the spirits of the merry party, and fun and mer- riment ran riot. Later a picnic tea was served under the trees, all doing full justice to the well filled lunch baskets provided by the thoughtful mothers. Mimico Lodgé are holding their an- nual picnic to High Park on Wednes- day afternoon. On Monday evening Miss Sinclair was the pleasing hostess of a kitchen shower for Miss O. Prewett. The guest of honor was the recipient of a num- ber of useful gifts, and in thanking her friends for their kindness and thoughtfulness, assured them that the gifts would serve as a link in mem- ory’s chain when the ties of the new life would bring new duties.

Transportation Facilities ISLINGTON I It is, however, of greater value to r have all the township business and l books housed under one roof. This is ' now possible. The vault, which has l been added, is large and roomy and ! will take care of a lot of items. The l clerk's office has space and is part of I the council chamber. The treasurer l has his own office on the west side of i the building. The large hall has been [ (divided so that when the council meets f I the doors can be drawn and thus open , council meeting to the whole hall. The I arrangement is good. It will be ben- l ' eficial for all concerned as soon as the I 1workan are out of the way and all I Ethe mess cleaned up. F l Garden Party I Owing to the bad weather on sat-) urday afternoon the garden party) scheduled for that night did not ma-i terialize. The Pastime Club members, f however, have decided to hold it next 1 Saturday night, rain or shine. If the I weather is fair, ,it will be held on the l school grounds. If the weather, how- I ever, does not appear suitable, then I it will be held in the school.' One thing is certain, whatever the weathJ: er is, there will be a real time in store ' at the,garden party. This club has been a success because it has held successful functions. This will be an- other added to the list. Bowlers Entertain Four rinks from Streetsville made the journey to the local green on 1 'Monday night. The greens were in' l splendid condition, and everything was I that can represent the district. If the community would get together, some- thing can be done along this line Nothing like/trying. Islinfgton Coming to Her Own It has'been slow but sure. The peo- ‘ple of Islington have not been waiting in vain. To-day there is a big future looming up for this district. Active planning is occupying the minds of "hose who have the future in view. )They are now hoping to realize their Lbig idealrwithin a few months. It, I however, will not come of itself. There I must be a forceful organization behind the move if the district is to reap the I full benefit of the future. At the pres- l, ent time it is a case of every man for himself. If there is too much greed, :then there will be no buyers At the present time we understand that some 'big prices have been offered for the properties about Islington. Some big deals have been put through and oth- ( ers are under consideration. If those holding out for high prices continue to do so, they will hold back the de- velopment of Islington. If there is a strong organization formed which has |the interest of the village at heart, then something can be accomplished that will stabilize the values and also i assist in the locating of the right pen- ‘ple in this section. Think what it means to have a community built up that you can be proud of. Thin}; of 1 what it means to secure good business men and have them locate in this section. It means a great future. An organization can handle the situation to advantage. Don't let the opportun- ity slip by. - Moved into New Quarters The township of Etobicoke have op- ened official offices and can now be located at Islington in the town hall during business hours. This is of the greatest convenience to the citizens and those who are desirous of doing business with the township. Previous- ly it was necessary to go to one place for the clerk or to another place for the treasurer. Each were on the Dundas St. road and easy to reach, but it was rather difficult for those who did not have cars. Under the new ar- rangements it will be possible to reach the offices by train, car or bus. B. L TRIMBLE, Secretary-Treasurer, 71 St. klm's Rd., lift. Dennis.

The July meeting of theHtichsriew Women's Institute was held at the- home of Mrs. Oliver Dixon, with a, good attendance present. After the business had been transacted the la- dies were favored with a very inspir- ing address by the Rev. Frederick Robertson on "The Ideals of, Life,” which was enjoyed by all.
