Mr Workman was oe a visit to friends in this part of Ontario.

The American car upset in the water of the ditch, and some of the occupants were badly injured. Being a closed oar, some difficulty was ex- perienced in escaping -from the car, and Mr 'Workman's little daughter was nearly drowned before, she' was rescued.

K,INBURN WINS SERIE I. dribbled it up tate field himself for a ATFORD I rry Win Round 4-3, But Stratford Has Protested A Kinburn Player, :Kinb urr ta h s wet n Tlic play-off ' in the Intermediate W.F.A. semi-final series with Stratford, by 4-3 on the round, under protest. Four games have been played, the first two result- ing in ties. Enters Protest a Apparently Stratford hasn't had enough of it'yet, although four games have already been played, The Strat- ford team claims 'that a Kinburn play- er, R. Dundas, isnot properly'civali- fied to play with Kinburn. It is to be hoped this ma't'ter will be cluickly dis- posed of, as the schedule has been delayed ten days on account of had weather,, In fact, the decision to play two games in a play-off to settle a tie is unusual As a rule the two decide on neutral territory, •or if they fail to agree, a place is chosen by the execu- tive of the League. One game: is much cheaper and quicker: Tuesday's Game. The second game of the ,series was played,at Stratford on Tuesday even- ing on a greasy field caused by steady showers during the day, and fast play, was impossibie. But nevertheless, hoth teams mixed things from whistle to Whistle, the'session warming ufl toward the end so that both teams limped off the field with injuries to several men. Stratford got the first goal, scoring 0-0 a penalty, and Aitchcson doing the kicking. R. Dundas evened the count on a puzzling shot towards the net a few minutes later, the hall sticking in the Hard on the shot of another player, and Dundas swooping in before the Stratford goalie had a chance to clear. Tuntil nearhthe a d, when botwas fathlteamson started to hustle matters. Barclay scored for Stratford when there was only five minutes to go, inaking the score for the game 2 to 1 for Stratford. The teams: Kinburn—Scott Hawthorne,goal; Fred Armstrong and R. Dodds, full backs; McClue, Govenlock,and Har- vey Taylor, half backs; John Arm- strong, inside right; R, Dundas, cen- tre; J. W.

The local team sprang a surprise by piling up a two -goal lead, the score being kin - burn 2, Stratford 0. The game was fast and exciting throughout, but con- trary to some reports, it was marked by fair play and clean Sportmanship throughout, The playing field was soft after the heavy rains of the past week, Kin - burn, having the heavier team, show- ed up to advantage under these con- .ditlons, and the fast -running ' Strat- ford d t cam was enable on the slippery e ground, and wergoine completely ouplaedby tlteir�o were en ts. pPmi- The Play on Saturday, Stratford 'won the toss and faced. the sun on Saturday, Kinburn forced the play from the 'beginning and one minute afterwards bad a corner, J. W. Dundas, outside left for Kinburn, took oneshot at the goal, but kicked wide. Stratford then worked up the field slowly until Barclay got into position for a shot which the Kinburn goal keeper touched for a corner. Kinbunt cleared easily and J. W, Dundas took the hall from Cfappison. The Kin - burn giant then started the first of several individual rushes up the left wing during the game: He passed to. John Armstrong, who had it almost wide open, but -shot too high. On another corner, Kinburn almost counted, but the Stratford goalkeeper saved. The play was carried to mid- field, ad 'made an effort to score. Shorty Sloane, outside wing for a time fed the hall regularly to centre, only to have the• powerful Kinburn defense block effectively: Kinburn got their first goal fifteen. minutes after the game opened. J. W. and Torrance Dundas came down the left wing nicely until well on top of the Stratford full backs. The ball was passed to Bob Dundas at centre, who kicked viciously. The ballhit Jim Armstrong's shins and scooted into the Stratford goal without giving the goalkeeper, Merray, a .chance to stop it Shortly after, the Stratford eleven missed a chance` to even up, ,Shorty Sloane kicked high, dropping the ball right in front of the Kinburtr goal. Rose, Stratford's centre forward, had a fine chance at the 'open goal, but missed 017 a wild kick. Kinburn had the edge 011 the play, keeping Stratford defence rushes, J. W. Dundas figu�ringviin n these. ICinburn forced a cornerfol- lowing an off -side kick, :which the Stratford centre halfbacic stopped with his fist, • Nekton Govenlock secured the ball about ten yards ,ort, but kicked a little too high. Up with this time, Kinburn had much the better of the place, in fact through the entire game, they showed themselves to be the better team In the second half the game becaia 5 aster.
