Poon Tacoma—We notice in last week's
Listowel Standard that two of our boyo
are roasted about the poor game they
played tiara with Listowel on July let ve.
Pulmereton. We don't deny that the
kids pub up a vary poor game, but by
reading the Standard one would think
they were the whole MusD of Lietowel'e
defeat It ie too bad they are not manly
enough to take a defeat when they get it
fair. About every man fo Listowel
team played the same es our kids, but of
course as they were ringers they have to
fake the blame of the whole defeat.
When it comes to the fine point put
either of the ohildren in their proper
planes or give them propos mite and
they 000 ebow any Listowel player how
to play the game. 01 course it would
hardly be fair to run them against men
like Doauelly and Graham, who are
salaried men, but any one of then who
can juetly be need a Lietowol man isn't
in the game with the kids. Even Don-
nelly was knocked out of the box end
Stokes had to just throw half a dozen
balls till be found that they were liable
to be tumid into looms runs. Graham,
the °atelier, fumbled the balls so badly
tbat he let four men steal home, Of
course the Wroxeter two are blamed for
thie. One of our boyo let three rune 10

We hope In the fnnure Listowel will take
their medicine like men.

storm, the worst any of the people of

water fell in about 2 hours and hail was
lying on the ground several inches deep.
The oountry was completely flooded and
there were great drifts of hail several
feet deep in some plaoee,. Heavy wind
prevailed and Some buildings and dozens
of windmills were blown to pieces. Rye
and barley were nearly 'ready for cutting
bat the grain was not by the storm as
olose to the ground as if it had been
shaved, much stook perished and many
cattle and hereto were drowned, while
others were slain by lightning. Mrs.
Heapy say :—"cue of our teams was in

escaped. High water has taken moat of
the bridges." Tim old Grey friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Heapy will be sorry to hear
of their misfortune and wish them better
