A. league game in the lakeside town Monday and Southâ€" ampton has protested, owing to three Durham players reâ€"inforcing the Hanâ€" over line up. The protest looke use less, as Durham has played no league games, and players are permitted to be drawn from the nearest town. Owen Sound Finally Beat Flesherton After a six game series, Owen Sound and Flesherton ball team were tied with three wins each, and a play off was held in Chesley Monday when O. Sound won 8 to 5. About 1400 people witnessed the game, which was mainly high class ball. Stewart Pinâ€" der and Harold Mountain from Durâ€" hom, were on the Flesherton line up. Escaped from Reformatory John Cosgrave, the deat and dumb mute who killed the priest in Proton, some months ago, and has since been incarcerated in Guelph Reformatory, escaped from that institution a few days ago, and at time of writing has not been captured. However a man gives evidence, that he met a mute about miles north of Guelph, who by signs requested something to eat. He was seen by a farmer near Fergus on Tuesday and ran for the woods, buli guards are on his trail and his reâ€" capture is likely imminent. This and{ other instances that come to mind, seem to indicate a screw loose someâ€" where in the control of certain instiâ€" tutions. Might Have Been Fatal Monday evening last about 9 p. m. as Mrs. Wm. Vessie was returning to her home in her buggy, from town, acâ€" companied by her daughter Maimie and little Bruce Dunsmoor, an acâ€" cident â€"occurred that might | easily have had a fatal termination. The (Jwen Sound motor bus was coming south and owing to the glare of the lights of a car just behind the buggy, did not see the.latter and wert smash into the rig injuring the horse, wreckâ€" ing the buggy and giving the occuâ€" pants an awful shock, though happily no serious injury resulted. Incidents like this give point and force to the 'sugzvstion often made that horse ldrivun vehicles should have a light displayed.

Noble bought from Jack McGowan and left behind his garage, was the scene ol some â€" excitement one day last week. The tank of the car was erposed but empty, and his little son (George Noble sitting on it when there was a loud explosion, and both ends of the tank and inner partitions were blown out. . Why such occurred was a mystery, unless from overheated fumes. George _ received â€" quite . a shock. but was more scared than hurt. Durham _ Presbyterian â€" Choir held their annual picnic Thursday last and for the second time to Wasaga Beach on the Georgian Bay shore, 12 miles miles east of Collingwood. The parâ€" ty numbering twenty, left at 6 a. m. and the trip in the early morning hours proved to be of the most pleasâ€" ant nature. The Beach was made by 10 a. m. and it was a matter of a short time before all felt a gnawing vacuum that had to be satisfied. The Beach continues to grow in popularity each year, as evidenced by the many new buildings and hotels that are being erected. So large are the week end crowds that visit the reâ€" sort, that accommodation is almost impossible to secure. The popularity is due no doubt to its splendid stretch of beach, six or seven miles in length and in which all ages, from the smalâ€" lest tot to the aged veteran may enâ€" joy. Other attractionsâ€"bowling, pool, boating on the Nottawasaga river, merryâ€"goâ€"rounds, dancing pavilion, are also there and time does not drag on the Beach. The choir party put in a full day,| leaving the Beach at 10.30 p.m. and the trip home was without incident till leaving Stayner, when the Gra_v\ Dort car driven by Miss Winnie Blyth and carrying six passengers, developâ€" ed signs of pending trouble. The trouble became more acute and when in the middle of a long hill in the loâ€" cality of the "devil‘s punch bowl" the car refused to operate altogether and commenced backing down hill. There was nothing for it but to get the car in a stationary position and walk 3% miles to the nearest telephone at 12 midnight to rouse the Singhampton garage man from his slumbers. This was done and in his Chevrolet towed the six picnickers to Durham, reachâ€" ing here about 4.30 a. m. Friday. The Gray Dort car is now in Singhampton garage for repairs, having the steerâ€" ing gears stripped and other trouble. The accident at the time was a close call, but now despite the expense, the occupants can afford to laugh at their experience. Durham Juniors led by only 1 run at the close of a rattling good league ball game in Wa‘kerton last Saturday. The score was 5 runs to 4 and the win gives Durham a bright chance district honors. The Durham lads ap pear to play better ball away than at home, as they also won in Owen Sound, and their only loss was a close game to Walkerton on Dominion Day. Goldsmith, Flesherton‘s crack pitchâ€" er, dished them up for Durham, with League sanction, and never had to fully extend himself{. Erben Schutz caught and Harold Mountain, our othâ€" er pitcher, played second base. Walkâ€" erton boys, having won two straight, were quite "sore" at losing and are putting in a protest against the locals using Goldsmith, which will no doubt be fruitless. Durham has only one game left to playâ€"with Owen Sound here, and a victory will either win or tie the disâ€" trict. Should O. Sound win both its games yet to be played, all three teams will be tied and a playâ€"off enâ€" sue.
