By taking a 6-3 decision over the
home club at Port Elgin on Saturday
the local ball team drew back into
first place on top of the Bruce Lea
gue Southern Group. The Hurons
need but one more win for a play-off
berth and have two games to accom
plish this little task.
Manager Peterson wisely nominat
ed himself to do- the pitching Satur
day and with Mike Carmichael back
of the plate in place of the injured
Cummings, little could be desired of
the battery end of the club. Pete kept
six hits well scattered and struck out
twelve at the right time while only
walking two, his first free passes in
a long time. Mike held his manager
up well and sparked the team with his
peppy chatter. George Sturgeon be
gan to do the chores for Port, but
along about the fourth inning the lo
cals started hitting the ball where his
fielders weren’t, for a change, and he
departed hurriedly in the fifth in fav
or of Gore, a young left-hander who
showed streaks of effective pitching.
The Braves got off to a good start
with, three runs in the fourth. Doran
opened with a double into a grove in
left-field and took third while Gray
was rolling out. Lediet lined a hit
past McKay scoring Doran. Finlay
son forced Bill at second but scored
when the first-baseman let Peterson’s
drive go through him and the right
fielder heaved wildly to third. Peter
son ended up on third the same play
and scored on a powerful single by
Carmichael through the box. Tiffin
also singled but Mellor rolled out.
The Hurons added another in the fifth
on singles by Somers and Gray, aided
by a passed ball.
The Ports scored a run in each of
the 4tli, 5th and 6th innings, all they.
could muster for the day. A double |
by Paddon was the only extra base j
knock the homesters could get off
Pete. The Hurons scored two in the
Sth to sew it up. Finlayson drew a
pass and moved up on Peterson’s sac
rifice and kept right on to third on a I
passed ball. Another single by Car-|
inichael scored Al. Tiffin forced
Mike but singles by Mellor and Som-j
ers scored Tuddy. Doran walked to I
j fill the bases but Gray left them there
I by fanning. |

GODERICH AIR PORT
OFFICIAL OPENING
and
the Police of Glendale, Calif., started a.
sweeping investigation into the death
of Col. Milton B. Green, TOP LEFT,
when affidavits were presented which
indicated he may have died from pois
oning. He was long known among
oilmen in western Canada although
he had been living retired in Califor
nia some time. Mrs. Majonita C. Mc
Cord (TOP RIGHT), granddaughter
and also the adopted daughter of the
late Col. Green, filed the affidavits.
With her husband, Ralph McCord
(LEFT), she presented them to Cor- | fin when the body was exhumed.
whoI oner Frank A. Nance (RIGHT)
had the Colonel’s body exhumed. She
claimed Green was poisoned to pre
vent discovery of forgeries and fraud
ulent transfers of $50,000 worth of'se
curities. Among pictures which came
into the hands of police was that of
Mrs. Fanny C.„ Green (LOWER
LEFT), his first wife, and mother of
Mrs. Ruby Green (LOWER RIGHT)
his second wife and widow. The lat
ter photograph was found in the cof-
the community are cordially invited
to attend this meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. Shurey, of Brussels,
and Mr. and Mrs. John Caslick and
Isabel, of Culross, spent Sunday with
Mr. and Mrs. George Harkness.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hutchison and
little Dorothy Templeman, oi Wing-
rs. Win. Robinson on Thursday. | es was not held Thursday evening at i
Mr. Rupert Wehvood and his httle Robt McC]enaghan’s, but at the Unit-1
mghter, Jean, of Straton, Penn., vis- Ld Church. After a short devotional
sd on Thursday at the home of hisl __________ _ /-«_____ ir_
Goderich and all Huron County
went air-minded over the week-end.
Saturday and Sunday were days of
achievement. They were history-mak
ing days for Goderich, because Sky-
Harbor Airport is no longer a dream.
It is a reality—a reality which won
the praise and admiration of dozens
of noted airmen who came from var
ious points in Canada and the United
States to spend the week-end.
Nearly forty air-craft,‘ represent-
, ing the latest in development of flying:
•machines, painted just about every
color of the rainbow, landed there on
Saturday and one by one the great .
birds soared into the air Sunday af
ternoon.
To estimate the crowd that attend
ed the air pageant would be rather
dangerous but it can safely be said
that there would at least be 1-5,000
people there. Probably just as many
spectators sat on the bank south of
the Maitland River to watch the per
formance as those who were at
airport itself.
To Wilmot Haacke, warden
Huron County, fell the honor of
daring the new air port officially
open. He welcomed visitors, spoke in
glowing terms of the fine feeling
which existed between American and
the
of
de-ham, Mr. and Mrs. Hardie Simpson
and children, of Culross, and Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Johnston, of Lucknow,
spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Will Conn.
Miss Catharine Patterson, R.N., of 1 Canadian peoples and urged the youth
Stratford, spent the week-end at the of the land to keep in step with the
home of her mother, Mrs. Henry Pat- ’ advance of civilization.
