The 1926 softball “”05 are to govern all gamvs. With the material to pick from, there should be some good teams in the running. and as there are sev- eral old-time baseball players in town, they should take to the new sport like a duck takes to water. The teams are not going to be con- tined to the young sports entirely, hut will take in everybody who feels like eavorting around the bases. It reports are true. there are a lot Hf old-timers whose. avoirdupois has prevented them seeing their toes for many moons who have ambitions to heeome the Walter .lohnstons and Grover Cleveland .-\le.\'anders ot' the Durham eireuit. and new that they have taken the plunge. go into the game with a determination to win. and with a \‘llll that will allow of their doing away with their "daily dozen" to work otl' a doulile chin. .\s the season advances and they uet into practice. it is. expected they will develop unthoughtof dex- terity and show a few of the young- sters. who up to date seem to think they have the championship einehed that there is life in the old man yet. and just enough of it to heat them out in the tinal inning at‘ter kidding ‘V Il(ll lb III vvvvvvv ents. and our money.

STREET OIIJNG Gang of Men Busy for Past Week Making Roads in Condition to Re- ceive Season’s Supply of Oil.â€" Lambton Street Bridge Also Being Covered. For the past ten days or so the Board of Works has had a gang of men at work making the streets ready for oiling and, with the grad- ing of the front street, expect to commence putting the oil on today. The oil is already at. the station, but the roadway was not in proper shape to receive it. We understand that this year the same surface that has been treated in the past will again be gone over, though the Council feel that they will be unable tog}; up the hill at present. Work on the county connecting link has also been under way for the past couple of weeks under the supervision of Reeve Bell. This too, will be oil treated as in former years. The Lambton street bridge is be- ing repaired this week with the placing of a new cover, and as a ctmsequence. the road to the (l. N. ll. station is closed, and traffic has to detour around by Queen and George streets. It, was expertml that. the bridge would be open for trafticl this morning, but it was found nec-‘ essarv to order three new eye-beams to take the place of others that had been rusted through, and while not‘ in too bad condition. it. was thought better not to take any chances. These have been ordered but are not yet here. and it is problen'iatical if the ‘hridge will he Opened for traffic ‘het‘ore Saturday. it' then. The steel- work. too. has been treated to a coat. of paint as a rust preventive. ()ther improvements noted near the ‘ill‘ithfl‘ include a new wall being erected in front of the Queen street church property. The old stone- work is being torn down and re- built, and when finished will be capped with a cement top which will greatly improve its appear- ance. Mr. Hugh McDonald has the contract. The new Presbyterian church to be erected here this summer will occupy the corner lot. at Lambton and Albert streets. This was def- initely decided on at the congrega- tional meeting held in the Town Hall Tuesday evening, and which, considering the time of year. was well attended. The meeting was unanimous that the building com- mittee. which had secured an op- tion on the property some days ago from the owner. Mr. Robert Burnett. would go ahead and close the deal so that the building operations could be commenced without delay. The lot is one of the best locations in town. is 60xl3O feet and of ample size. to allow for the erection of a suitable edifice, and the congregaâ€" tion is to be congratulated on se- curing so admirable .a. site; Bt‘SithS making tho main street Nady fnr oiling, tiw Bum-ct of Works has i-npziii'ml the storm sowm's in tiw lmsinnss snctinn. and it.
