The Kins- men took it on the chin as they went down to defeat at the ) hands of the' Town Fathers in the donkey baseball game at the town park Friday night be- fore a "stand.ing-room-only" erowd or over 600 continually laughing fans. • ' It was just one laugh after another as the donkeys held the upper hand over both teams throughout the game. Even the players came dressed for the occasion which added much to the color of the game. Deputy Reeve Harold Wild, coach of the Town Fathers, was one of the most dashing players. His burlap sack garb did not detract from a very attractive pair of shapely legs and knees. For the Kinsmen, Elwood HARRISTON DRIVE-IN THEATRE WED. 18 -THUR. 19.

To give strength down the centre, Police Chief Jim Mill- er sent in two of the younger men of the force with Con - stables Ed Doer on .the mound and Doug Foxton incentre field. Jim Ward, catcher, donned a mop -like wig to keep the re- flection from detracting from. the game's excitement. The left side of the field was pa- trolled by the Carter family, father George and son Don. For shortstop and third, the Town Father's coach Harold W i 1 d featured a "Double Bill" act with Bill Harris on third and Town Clerk Bill Renwick on short.

For the Kinsmen, the club was out in full force and al though outnumbering the Town Fathers, their team showed shades of "Good 01 Charlie Brown's team" as they went down to defeat, somgtimes on seat". DONKEY KICKS... Did you know some of the donkeys were 28 years old?....And dig those names; Hurricane, truly well named as an those who drew this demon found.out, much to their chagrin... And how about that Bertha? Guess who drew this one to ride; none o the r than Mayor Miller ! .. . Kin Des Brophy was caught unsuccessfully trying to trade his slow moving mule for one . of the speedier animals..: George Carter found it rather frustrating at first base when he missed the ball.

With this re-, mark the poor fellow struggled to his feet not .knowing whether to laugh or cry.
