'TRULY GREAT PEOPLE
The marvelous reception received
iby King George and Queen Elizabeth
.in the United States on their short
•visit last week is worthy of special
.mention. That they received great ov
ations all across Canada is what might
well be expected but the hearty, spon
taneous way they were received by
-our neighbours to the south of us was
a tribute not only to them but to the
Empire as a whole. Our King and
Queen are respected and loved not
■only by their own subjects but by all
free thinking people.
The wonderful demonstrations that
they were accorded across the line is
proof positive that what they repre
sent, democracy, fair play and good
mess, is appreciated by peoples other
'than their own subjects.
They have endeared themselves to
lhe populace whereever they travelled.
“They are truly great people, beloved,
■respected by all.

'WANTED! A SWIM PLACE
Through these columns we have,
from time to time, made mention of
the fact that despite the beautiful riv
er we have flowing through our town,
we have not a proper place for our
.girls and’ boys to bathe and swim..
Many towns are fortunate in that
They have up-to-date swimming pools.
The cost of these has been mostly
donated. It would not be necessary
to have a pool that would cost a great
deal of money or one that is up to
snuff in every way. What we require
as a pool which has good water, safe
for small children and deep enough
for swimmers.
Lucknow Clansmen are taking steps
'to provide the kids over in the Sepoy
town with a place to dip. They are
deepening a pond by the use of a hy
draulic power scoop belonging to the
County of Bruce. It is said it will j
provide suitable bathing facilities —
something we lack here.

NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS
AS RECORDS
Prior to 1875 the records of Gov
ernments were kept by the means of
newspaper clippings of the procedure.*
On the shelf in the Parliamentary lib
rary at Ottawa are these clippings
bound into books and they contain a
very important part of our history.
After 1875 a very different method
was used and is still used, to record
the doings is Parliament. This is Han
sard. Stenographers take down all
that happens and is said and this is
published each day so that they may
be studied by all who so desire. This
method is much more accurate than
that of using newspaper stories, but
of course, is much more expensive as
well.
HURONS OUTLAST
CHESLEY COLTS
Beat Colts Again, This Time 9-5 in
Poorly Played Game
■ The local Bruce League ball team
rang up their fourth win in as many
starts by defeating Chesley in the
Town Park here last Saturday. The
final score of a not too brilliant game
found the Hurons on the long end of
a 9-5 count due to two big rallies,,one
for five runs in the first inning and
the other good for four more in the
fifth. The usually clean fielding Hur-
onS, faltered badly afield, perhaps due
to a tcn-day lay-off and were perhaps
fortunate to win by such a margin.
Timely, hitting and good base-runing
on their own part and a weakness in
the catching department of the visit
ors accounted for the win.
Despite the good record of the
Braves the crowd was disappointingly
small. Both the boys on the club and
the men behind it feel they are deserv
ing of a little better brand of support
than they are getting. Every one on
the club has worked hard and faithful
ly to supply Wingham, if not with a
championship, at least with as good
entertainment as they Can provide.
New bleachers have been provided for
the fans’ accommodation and all that
is required is to see them filled with

paying customers,
Joe Tiffin chalked up his second
win of the season in beating the Colts
Saturdaj'. The big red-head was nev
er in serious trouble, except when er
rors by his. mates put him there, the
visitors’ hits being well scattered. For
the first time in a long time Joe’s con
trol was perfect, not a Colt getting
free transportation. Cecil - Wilcox
pitched pretty fair ball for the Ches-
leyites, but as yet he hasn’t the.fire
he used to have. He helped his own
cause with a pair of lusty doubles to
left but it wasn’t enough.
A single and no less than three er
rors gave the Colts a single run in the
first but the Tribe came right back
with five. Mellor walked and stole
second. Smith then got a life when
Prieb let a third strike get past him,
Mellor taking third. After Smith had
taken second, Somers scored the pair
with a single to centre. Ken then
stole second and took third On Dor
an’s infield out. Lediet lined a single
up against the right field fence scor
ing the third Wingham run and he
too stole second, Prieb proving an
easy mark for the base-runners. Bob
Groves clouted a double to score Led
iet and then stole third and scored
when Prieb heaved the ball into left
field. Gray fanned," Miller walked and
Tiffin flied deep to Ebel near the cen
tre field fence to complete the inning.
Four more Hurons crossed the plate
in the fifth, Smith getting a life on
an error to start things. Bart stole
two bases while Somers was drawing
a pass and scored when Sandy
Thompson, who had relieved Prieb
behind the plate, tried to throw out
Somers stealing second. When Sandy
let the return throw sail over his head
Ken marched to third and.rode honie
on a triple to centre by Doran. Dick
scored when Lediet bounced one over
Wilcox’s head, the latter finally toss
ing badly to first letting Bill take se
cond and score on a single by Groves.
Bart Smith almost added one more in
the sixth when he reached out and
poked one of Wilcox’s slow balls into
a tree over the fence past the home-
run mark. The pellet bounced back
in and the umpires held Smith to a
single, although usuall}' a ball hitting
anything outside of a park comes un
der a ground rule. The umpires were
nothing to rave about otherwise eith
er.
The visitors staged a rally of their
own in the seventh. After Somers had
retired the first two batters on flies
to centre, Ebel smashed a line single
off Smith’s glove. Murray Thompson
also singled and both scored on Wil
cox’s long high double to left centre.
Frank McCartney singled to right to
score Wilcox. Another single by M.
Thompson and another long double
by Wilcox’, this time down the left
field foul line scored the Colts final
On Friday evening at Clifford the
Central League team took the Clif
ford gang into camp 14 - 2. The
game, due to darkness, was a six-inn
ing affair. Jack Fraser, for Wingham,
pitched gieat ball, not a hit being ga
thered off his offerings until the sixth
when he was nicked for two doubles.
He fanned fifteen, which was no
mean effort The locals played a bet
ter game than they did against Palm
erston and were coasting along with
a 5-0 lead at the end of the fifth. They
went to town in a big way in the sixth
scoring nine runs.
Clifford have never been an early
season team and it is expected that
they will be a much better club later
in the season. The Wingham lads fat
tened their batting averages as they
collected 13 hits.

PALMERSTON WON
6-INNING GAME
Central League Team Dropped Home
Game 7-4
Darkness prevented the Palmers-
ton-Wingham game in the Central
League here on Thursday evening
.from going nine innings. The game
was called in the last half of the 7th,
the score at the end of the sixth, Pal
merston 7, Wingham 4, being the of
ficial count. Small started on the
mound for the homesters but gave
way to Groves in the- 4th inning.
Small was pitching good ball but
the support was discouraging. He had
a sore arm and probably should not
have been used. He struck out six
and allowed six runs. Groves went
well but in the seventh the support
again went bad, however, this innings
did not count.
Palmerston, have a heavy hitting
outfit but errors helped them to win
the game. The local club shotild re
verse the score when they play in
Palmerston.
The game was very late in starting.
The club should make an effort to
start on time as holding up the fans
will not help the gates.
