picked up by same big league. Boyle
� behind the bast was almost taken out
of tete gable The- crowd thought he
had sold ethe game, as hie throws to
second were about 20 ft. high. The
1s.econd baseman would almost 'need
tan aeroplane to go after them, and
he forgot to touch second base once
and was oalied out as he touched
third. Dick Creech on the left field

to that, and the way he picked off
those high fliers was nearly worth
the price of the admission. Dick ac-
cepted every chance without a slip
and as a base runner he has them
all beat Dick was on third once; and
he called for a pinch bitter but the
manager couldn't see it that way .arid
44 Dick was left standing on third. It is
i a hard place to be left, but it wars
not Dick's fait. Heywood in Centre
played a good game but hada lot of
hard running as the batters on the
other side liked to bat them over -
Gordon's head, but I think Gordon
can make a hundred yards. in .40
for when he came to bat he seemed
to be tired out. Delbridge in right
field saved the game. Several titres
Frank made a double play unassist-
ed, something that was never heard
of until that game. Frank used his
head to make this and it sure
brought the crowd to their feet and
when Frank came in he was cheered
so that he had to take his hat off and
bow to the crowd. Frank sure had a
nice time coaching for his Leant
� mates. The game was one of the hest
played at the Bend this year. The
lboth teams fought hard all the way
Shapton put the game on ice in the
t 10th for the singles. With a man on
ithird he knocked out a two bagger

body satisfied.

GET Yarn NAME ON THE LIST
The enumerators are on the
round compiling the new voters' list
to be used in the forthcoming refer-
endum and possibly for the election
for the Ontario House which will
take place in the not distant future.
Every elector must claim the fran-
chise by making sure that the enum-,
crater has the name. Any person
may claim to be enrolled who is a
British subject by birth, marriage or
naturalization•, twenty-oneyears of
age on August 25th, 1919; a resi-
dent of Canada on or before June:
30th, 1918; residing in Ontario prior
to April 1st. 1919. and domiciled in
his electoral district prior to June
1st, 1919, Also the franchise belongs
to nurses, sailors and soldiers who,
when entering the service, •were res-
idents of Ontario, together with stud-
ents resident and in attendance at
institutions of learning and not e se -
chaps who found it hard to plow
their way in the heavy going, but
they never gave up for a minute and
everyone played the game of their
lives. The pitcher who was brought
in for the game and had to be paid a
nice sum had to week hard all the
way but his support was more than
good and got him out of several very
bad holes. Ford on first played a,
great game picking the hail out of
the sand and out of the trees in old
time form. but fell down a, little at
bat. Cole at second played a fair
game only the sand got to hint and
he seemed to play dui. of wind and
•ould not do his share of the coach-
ing -which was badly needed, but he
was there for the double- play every
fim Westcott onshort W tc tt sl nit i
s a .,nd.He
picks those hot grounders and has
a wonderful arm for first. He fields
well and his throws are right on the
bag. O. Southcott on third was the
big noise of the game and if the big
leagues don't pick him up for a try:
out they don't 'know a real ball -play-
er. He had a great many chances in
the game and the sand did not 'both-
er him whatever. Ile was there every

from a witness he was cross-examin-
ing. , It was hi the Diverse tri. and
gCot n
the man in the witness -box was ata
nervous little elderly clerk.
"Have you ever been married?"
began Sir Frederick,
"'Yes,"stammered the clerk,"on.ee"
"Whom did you marry?"
"A -a -woman, sir."
"Of course, of course," snapped
the future Lord Chancellor. "Did you -
ever hear ref anyone marrying a
