OF CANADA LTD. There was bad blood between two clubs, and O.B.A. officials took precautions to prevent any repeti­ tion of the fistic battle which took place when Hensall played at Hag­ ersville. Players of both teams were called together before the game got undei* way, and were warned that no squabbling would be tolerated. As it turned out, the safety measures were not needed. After five innings of play, Hagersville was so well beaten that there wasn’t much fight left in or its supporters. Kerslake allowed hit and a walk in In the second, after he had struck out Junie Graham, the Hagersville shortstop, he suffered a siege of; wildness. He hit Cec Clark with a pitched ball, and walked Jimmy Rebbetoy, Harley Lampman singled but Clark slipped while rounding third, and had to return to the sack. With the bases loaded, Kerslake got Pete Laidaw on a called third; strike, but proceeded to Johnny Maggio and Henn ' in succession, forcing in two runs.' The runs gave Hagersville a two- * ™ run lead, each team having scored' one in the opener. j After that bad inning, Kerslake was master of the situation. He al-' lowed a total of seven hits, and,1 struck out a dozen Hagersville bat-i ters. with half Duff Stade. _ Hudson beat out a hunt in the Engineer in regards the Robinson fourth and Jack Tudor drove him in with the run that broke the tie. I Hagersville never had the lead after j that. Stade opened the fifth with a' home run smash to left field. After] Harley Lampman, Hagersville’s, starting pitcher, had committed two J errors, to put Weir and O’Brien, I the next two Hensall batters, on’ base, Lampman walked from the mound, going to second base and] taking the place of Grant Hagersville’s hero of the Waterloo series.

Andersonz O----O----O Johnnie has been taking great care of his pony lately. It is so fat and sleek that everyboby likes to rub it on its neck, and the pony likes it too. Johnnie’s .father bought a love­ ly saddle for it and now the boys all through the neighborhood can ride on it and have lots of fun. One1'day not very long ago while the boys were out playing in the vacant lot Robert Bruce said he had a dandy idea. So he had all the boys sit down on the grass while he told them what he had been thinking about. Then he told them about a picnic that was to be held in the big park the following Sat­ urday, and he thought that if John­ nie would lend his pony to the ‘Mis­ sion Band’ they could make quite a lot of money at that picnic and not do the pony any harm. He said there would he scores of boys and girls around the big trees where the fountain is, and there is a lovely wide path, around the trees so that they could give saddle rides and charge ten cents each. So Johnnie said he would talk to his father about it and would let the hoys know next day if he might take the pony. That night at supper Johnnie told of the boy’s plans, and his Daddy said he was willing, provided they were careful with the pony and did not work it too hard. So next day Johnnie told the boys what his father had said and then further plans began to be made. When Saturday afternoon came and the boys had arrived at the park they found what seemed to be hundreds of boys aud girls there. They knew some of them but most of them were strangers. It was arranged that Johnnie, Robert, and Little Tim should act as committee to give the rides and , collect the money. -So they brought around the pony with its new saddle all de-corated with red, white and blue ribbons and Johnnie got up on a box and called out, “This way for a ride on the famous white' pony, only ten cents. Come along. Come along.” > The boys and girls gathered around in great numbers and the pony had so much to do that bye and bye one of the strange gentle­ man said to his little girl, “Tootsie, go over and get Dapple and bring him over here.” Dapple was the name of one of his team of ponies. Then he lead the pony over to where Johnnie and the other boys were standing, and touching his hat very politely, he said, “Gentle­ men you can have my pony and yon can make all the money you can out of him.” The boys thanked him and then throwing up their hats they yelled, “Hip, hip, hooray, for the good gentleman.” After the picnic was over the boys went home feeling that it had been a suee'essful day, and after they had put the pony in its stall they all went into Johnnie’s house to count the money which they found was seven dollars and thirty cents. This they handed over to the treasurer of the Mission Band, who thanked them very kindly for their splendid donation. Mrs, Wes. Morley spent last week with her mother, Mrs. Acken, of Sarnia.
