Miter's Note.—Tse picture to
which Mr. McCarroll refers was
'published in The Signal -Star of
,April 17. Baseball flourished in
Goderich in 1022, when the team
included the McCarroll brothers,
"Dingo" Haynes, Joe Lindsay and
other notables. Perhaps some of
the "fans" of those days can ident-
ify others in the picture; we should
be glad to hear from them.
