'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. SS S|C * * '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 THERE ISN’T A ROAD AROUND WINGHAM THAT CAN LICK THIS GOODYEAR MILEAGE MAKER 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. R.

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. Palmerston: L. Johnston ss, W.
