TRULY GREAT PEOPLE As we write this the King and Queen are in Vancouver and as. they travelled across our large country they were enthusiastically received all the way. The wonderful receptions they have enjoyed everywhere, so far on their trip, shows the loyalty and devotion, that the people in all parts of Canada have for the present Ruler .of our great empire and his lovely Consort. t We pride ourselves that we live in a democratic country and we are bursting with pride for our democrat­ ic King and Queen. The very kindly and thoughtful things that they have done, despite their heavy program, have endeared them the more to the people of this vast country. The stir­ ring tributes that continue at each place they touch is .proof beyond doubt that the monarchy is the great factor that binds the Empire together. Many are the references that one could make of their kindly actions and gestures. Some of these were not great but went to show that even our King and Queen can be gracious even though the incident be a small one. Their thoughtfulness on many occas­ ions, their notice of what one would think they would.consider trivial, goes to exemplify what truly great persons they are. Many of the people in this district Saw Their Majesties at Toronto. Stratford and London next week will be visited by thousands from this community who wish to pay homage to their King and Queen. Their Ma­ jesties’ visit has fired the imagination Good Pitching and Fielding as Hur­ ons Beat Teesers 5- 3 of all our people in all parts of the great Dominion, What a wonderful thing it would be if every soul in Can­ ada could have the opportunity of see­ ing them, * THERE IS A TIME TO SING As we were waiting for the cere­ mony of the Unveiling of the Mem­ orial at Ottawa to commence the Vet­ erans behind us were singing old army songs led by a jovial member of Parr liament from Western Canada dress­ ed in morning clothes. Everyone was happy, but one in particular objected to the seats being reserved in the en­ closure and to the high silk liats ob­ structing the view so he started sing­ ing, “God Save the King” to make the men, remove the hats; We were amused at his grousing, but when someone wanted to sing “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” as Their Majes­ ties were arriving he wouldn’t stand for ' it. “It’s not right,” he said, "George is a jolly good fellow, we know he’s a jolly good fellow and he knows that we know he’s a jolly good fellow, but we know our place and we must have some dignity at a time like this.” 3.- >1: & ak $N informal view OF THEIR MAJESTIES A King like anyone else, needs ex­ ercise and a change from the daily grind, so after leaving Laurier House he said he must have some exercise. The royal car dashed out into the country and it just happened that Mr. Grant Deachman * drove along that road a few minutes later and an offic­ er asked him to stop. He turned into a lan'eway. Their Majesties had stop­ ped nearby and the King and some­ one with him wer.e clearly seen walk­ ing briskly over the fields in the dis­ tance smoking a'cigarette and his hair blowing up in the breeze. The Queen, wearing dark glasses, had removed the coat of her -lovely blue costume and it was lying over the back seat of the car. She was walking near by and looking over to- The Wingham Hurons started their 1939 Bruce League ball season off on the right foot at Teeswater on the holiday by defeating the homesters by * the score of 5-3. A good crowd wit­ nessed a.pretty tidy little game in which the Hurons fielded beautifully but looked woefully weak at the plate. The Teeswater club put- up a real game, outhitting their visitors 11-5, but several passed balls proved their undoing. Bob. Chalmers, besides pitching a swell game, got two of the Tribe’s six hits, one of which was very time­ ly. While the Teesers nicked him for eleven hits, Bob kept them well scat­ tered and in only one inning, the sev­ enth, was he in any trouble. The home team bunched two singles and a triple for all three of their runs in this frame. The Indian keystone pair, Mellor and Smith, turned in a great game, Fred handling nine chances errorless- ly and Bart eight. Some of Smith’s plays were very difficult chances. In fact, the whole Tribe fielded almost flawlessly, Doran’s error on the first Teeswater batter being the only mis­ cue. The Hurons opened the scoring with two in the third, McCammon op­ ening with a looping single to left and went to second on a sort of sac­ rifice by Gray. Earl was trying to • keep his noggin away from a high in­ side pitch when the ball hit his bat and trickled down the first base line. A rousing single to right by Chalm­ ers scored McCammon, Bob taking second on the throw-in. ‘Tiffin lined a single to left, Chalmers stopping at third. With Mellor at-bat, Wiley pitched one into’ the dirt which got far enough away to let Chalmers score. Fred fanned and Somers roll­ ed to short. The Tribe added another in the fourth, ’Doran driving a hit through short, stealing second and advancing to third on Smith’s infield out. Grov­ es walked and took second unmolest­ ed. Blair took McCammon’s fly in short left for the second out. Anoth­ er passed ball, this time a third strike to Gray, scored Doran before Weiss tossed out Chalmers. Two runs in the sixth completed the Wingham scor­ ing, Doran getting a life on Blair’s error to start things. Smith missed a steal signal and blissfully proceeded to wallop the first ball pitched out on the race track in left for a double, Manager Doran pulling up at third with a very nasty look on his. face. Still another passed ball scored Dick and put Smith on third from where he galloped home' on Groves’ long drive to the left fielder. The Teesers did all their scoring in the seventh. Mellor tossed out Blair, first up' but Bob Thompson, one of the Kincardine contingent playing with the Teesers this year, lined a single to left. Weiss beat" out a bunt for a hit and both runners scored on Irv. Flyslop’s triple to right. Hyslop scor­ ed. as Chalmers was tossing out O’Mara and Johnston flied high to Somers.

The erstwhile powerful Fisher­ men fell easy prey to the Braves who fattened their batting average consid­ erably with sixteen hits. Only a fair crowd turned out for the opener, the ‘ club having looked for a much larger turn-out. It was the second straight for the Indians and kept them on top of the heap*. Joe Tiffin did mottnd duty for,the locals, and while nicked for ten hits ■ was never tn very serious' trouble af­ ter the second inning when the visit­ ors took a 2-0 lead. Kugler,'the South hjirler,, proved little of a mystery to the Braves. As a, whole,“however, the game proved fairly interesting, .espec­ ially to those who like to see the ball take long and frequent rides.. An error, a double and ‘ a single gave the Fishermen a two-run start in the second but the Tribe wiped this out. completely with a 7-run outburst in their half of the same frame. Dor­ an got a life, on an error .and Smith then lifted a towering blast high up into the big elm in dead centre field, the ball dropping back in and holding Bart to a double. Groves scored them both with a Single to left. Miller roll­ ed out but’ walks to Gray and .Bill Tiffin together with a double by Joe Tiffin and a single by Mellor, scored three more. Somers fanned but Dor­ an, up for the second time, singled scoring two more. The Elurons added two more-in the sixth, Joe Tiffin starting with a single t(V; right and moving up one on lus brother’s sacrifice. Mellor fanned but Somers hoisted a double to left scor­ ing Joe and then scored himself on Doran’s second single. A two-base hit by Groves following by singles by Miller, Joe Tiffin and Mellor added two more in the seventh. A triple by Smith and an error by the shortstop completed the Hurons’ scoring in the eighth, ’ \ | An error followed by a home-run over the centre-field fence by’Kugler, gave the visitors' their'’final two runs in the ninth. * Doran Has Unusual Day Few people realized it but Dick Doran, local first basehian, wrote one for the baseball books oh. Saturday, When Dick dropped Mellor's toss in the‘fifth and Fred threw one wide in the ninth, the big first-sacker unwit­ tingly became one of. the few first- basemen ever to go throughout a nine inning ball game without a put-out.

The attendance was very small, but those who were on- hand saw a fair exhibi­ tion of ball. When the club founds into shape and has a few alternates, they should’ give a good account of themselves in their league. This lea­ gue is playing O.B.A.A. Int. “B” ball this year.. Only nine men were dress­ ed for the locals, so they had to play the entire game. Three pitchers were used, each be­ ing on the mound three innings. Bill Grooves started off, Small took the middle three innings and Fraser the last three. Only four hits were sec­ ured off their offerings, otie each off Groves and Small and two off Fras­ er.
