Should he Latch a place on the Owen Sound to am. he will do his best at all times. He is somewhat different from a lot at athletes in that he is not so tem- peramental as many and, liking the game. does not have to be. coaxed to get out and do his bit. “Elvidge, the Durham- boy, made his first appearance at right wing. He showed well during the time he was on. although not yet into the swing of the team. He carries a good right hand shot and looks likely to make his place.” ' Erben Eividge was in Owen Sound Thursday of last week trying out with the Owen Sound Greys, and played against the crack K. S.

The death of Mrs. Joseph Blyth of Normanby on Sunday, February' 3, came as a sudden shock to her many friends and relatives in the vicinity of Durham and Orchard. Though ailing for some time, Mrs. Blyth was not. thought, to b\e in such a serious condition, and her sudden death on Sunday evening from heart failure was not anticipated. V. H.

She posses- ses a good voice, a pleasing manner on the stage, and is becoming one of Durham’s popular entertainers. This is her socdnd apeparance on a local platform. As an entertainer, Miss Pearl New- ton‘kept her audience in a continual round of laughter in her lighter numbers, and also showed consider- able ability in her heévier offerings. The concert in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Methodist Ladies’ Aid was an emoyable affair and deserving a much largex house than turned out to hear it. The hall, instead of being filled to capacity as it should have been, was only about half filled and it is scarcely probable that the Aid will need much time to count the profits from the venture. However, it was a bad week for counter atâ€" tractions, and the hockey match. last night doubtless deterred many from going to the CODCBIt who otherwise would haxe done so.

Stan. Burns of Palmerston was an impartial referee and kept the game well in hand. The Durhams, at least the ma- jority of them, are small and young, and eligible for junior’company for a couple of years yet, and the showâ€" ing they made against their heavier and more experienced opponents is most gratifying to their supporters here. The third periOd. though not so spectacular as the first, was the hardest-fought of the three and re- sulted in Listowel getting 2 goals and Durham 1, closing the game with a score of 6 to 4. Durham’s bunch of juniors or mostly juniors) handed the citizens a real disappointment last night at the locai arena when they romped home in front of a 6â€"4 score with the Listowel team:- and. incidentally kept the much-touted southern outtit up in the air for thebiggest portion of the three periods. Listowel scored the only goal in the first period, but this was of a rather fluky nature, and was accounted for, we think, by the fact that thelocal kids were a little nervous at the faceâ€"ofl‘. In the second period, however, they dug into the Listowel bunch and kept after them like a nest of hornets all evening/Breaking up their combina- tions time after time, and back- checking like fiends till the. gong rang. In this period Durham scored 5 goals and Listowel 1, making the tally over two-thirds of the route 5 to 2, with Durham leading. ' DURHAM WON FIRST FROM LISTOWEI. TEAM i3 14 (X) Below .zero.
