PENROD TEE DURHAH CHRONICLE The Owen Sound Timesi : Takes Another Slam At Durham “When the sOIdiers went to Dur- ham on Friday they took with them the hockey team of the 147th Battalion, who were billed to meet the Durham aggregation. Whether Durham has a regular team or not is a question. Any- way, it they have, it certainly lacked training in the art of puck chasing, but in the art of being poor sports they are certainly right there. It will be remember- ed that last summer when the lacrosse boys went to Durham atter the district had practically been won by Orsngeville, and OWen Sound only carried a team of youngsters, they lit on them heavy and beat them up. This seems to be all they have in Durham in the line of sports, {or as soon as the game was well un- der way, and the Durham tean' saw that their chances of winning the game were as far away as the end of the war, they began the rough-house stunt. This was kept up throughout the game, and as a result, some of the Owen Sound men were somewhat used up. It seems a pity that when a team goes to a team to help that town in a patriotic purpose that the representatives of that town are not sports enough to realize that they are their guests and should be treated as such. It is hardly necessary to say that the game ended 12 to 0 in favor of the sol- diers.” In reporting the 147th Battalion' hockey match on the 4th of Feb- '1 ruary last, which all will remember as being Durham’s Patriotic Day The Owen Sound Times says;-â€" 1 .«, mating muffled, town, Or individ- ual, but The Chronicle does not feel justified in letting the matter pass without comment. To begin with, we may state that the above report is entirely without founda- tion or (act, and was either Written by a person who did not see the game or one whose ability to tell the truth is sadly lacking. 11 the reporter who penned the above account witnessed the game in question here, then we are forced to the conclusion that he is a plain everyday liar; it he did not see the game, he has no business to picture it as he has unless he possesses the facts to back up his statements. I! the other columns of The times are as unreliable as the sporting column, it is no mys- tery to us why another county town paper has sprung from a circulation of insignificance to one reaching over the five thou- sand, while The Times struggles along with one slightly better than half as m_any_.
