of which has reverted to a slum

This is Sunday morning. After
breakfast a small gvoup of our P®r-«.
ty stroll oyer to the park, where we
view the beautiful floral dock, skil
fully patterned by a gardener, and
electrically ^quipped to chime its
“cuckoo” notes every quarts* hour.
I decide to attend service in .St,
Giles Cathedral, the scene of John
Knox’s labours, but also famous for
that momentous episode^ when Jmmy
Geddes threw her kneding stool at Alex MacDiarmid and family on the
Dean Hahhay, who read out the edict
’ of Chas. L ordering the Church of
England service to be read. Among
the many memorial tablets on the
walls, I discover that of Robert
Lottis Stevenson, a, tribute from ad-
miters in ail quarters of the world.
The spirit of antiquity reigns over
the great transepts of this historic
edifice; the- service' has the simpKcity
and dignity of the Scottish form of
worship. <
Ini the afternoon, we visit Scott’s
I country by motor coach. It is
strange how a dominant personaKty
seems to live, among those bills and
glades.' From the road. WC see Ab
botsford, which the poet loved and
where he wallowed-by the humblest'
-servant. We go to Melrose Abbey,
which Scott frequented so often as
a lad. Its beauty must have made a
strong impression on him for does
he not say— .
“Those who would view Meltoto
aright ,
Must do so in the pale moonlight".
The thick, massive walls that re
main and the delicate tracery of the
windows .suggest not-only its splen
dour, but the gross pillage of a for
mer day. A few miles beyond j is
Dryburgh AJbbey whose clustered
columns keep watch oyer the tomb
! of'Scotland's immortal bard. We
make our way to the North Transept
where also lie Scott’s Wife and fam-
, iiy including' J. G. Lockhart, his son-
in-law and biographer. Reside Scott’s

Auburn knocked St. . Helens out
of the Maitland League .race on
Friday ' night wheh tbey won a high
scoring 21 to 14 decision to take the
semi-final series in two straight
games. Auburn now meets Blyth for
the championship.
St, Helens, the surprise team of
the League, ousted Whitechurch
'from the race, but, ran info a snag
when they hooked up with the Au
burn squad. Bob Craig started off
on the mound for Auburn and while
i he toiled St. Helens could do little
with, his offerings, while the Auburn
guns started booming in the second
frame for a six run scoring bee and
from then on the outcome seemed
certain.
Dobie. relieved Craig late in the
game and the St Helens boys, went
to work on his offerings 'to pound ;
in 12 runs in the last two innings of
the game that was called in the 8th
on account of darkness. Gordon Mil-
ler.^SL Helen's one-man pitching
staff, got rather erratic support in
his final effort, Fred McQuillin bang

“In view of such ’ unethical procee
dings, the Meaford bail club delved
into past history and learned that in
former years the art of “dusting
’em off” was a common procedure
for the estimable Mr. Goldsmith—.
according to the complaint. Thus
they ask the O.B.A.A. for some ac
tion which would strip the big pit-
her of his playing card for the bal
ance of the current season. Or else—
These are facts insofar as the Mea
ford complaint to, the O.B.AJL is
concerned. What the O.B.AJL or
Southampton intend to do about it
remains to be seen. As1 far as the
Bruce League is concerned it has not
yet been officially notified of the com
plaint and consequently has ordered
the playoffs to proceed. Mr. Gold
smith, therefore, stands indicted, but
certainly not convicted. To most of
the Customers through the circuit
where he has toiled these past six
seasons he is innocent until proven
guilty.” ■

. One of the prominent .figures pre
sent at the rfastowel Old. Boys re
union was Fred “Cyclone” Taylor,
who in the opinion of many of the
hockey experts, was the greatest
player of all time. He played pro
hockey with the Ottawa .Senators
about 25 years ago and prior to that
with the Listowe] team performed in
this village when Lucknow and Lis-
towel hooked up in some rousing
battles. Taylor made a name for
himself not only for his dean play
and clever headwork, but also be
cause he could skate as fast back
wards as forwards and carry a puck.
'The Cyclone” flew east from his
■ home in Vancouver to attend the re
union. He now is a devotee of ten
nis and weilds -a mean racquet, hav
ing won several coast tournaments.
Two years ago he and his son chai- .
lenged any father and son tennis
