CAR. ACCIDENTS
ON LUCK.NOW ROAD
Two 'Accidents in One Week — Car
and Truck Deseroy•ed.
On :Friday evening, about 6 o'clock
a new Chevrolet truck from•Toronto
was proceeding along the road to-
ward Whitechurch and at Robt. Dy -
ell's farm, turned out to pass a car.
The truck slipped on some loose
gravel, the driver lost control and the
truck turned completely over into the
ditch, landing on its wheels. It was
towed into town by lelerkley's wreck -
ng truck. and on Friday was towed
to Toronto. It is estimated that the
truck is damaged beyond repair. Two
men were in the truck and were bad-
ly shaken up, one of the men who
got quite a crack on the forehead re-
turned to Toronto by train.

'On Sunday night about 10 o'clock

towel men were riding, Mr. Wall and
Mr. Fritz, also came to grief. They
were meeting several cars near Ken.

with the approaching lights of other
cars and slipped off the steep should-
er of the road, and the car went side-
ways into the ditch. Merkley's wreck-
ing truck also towed this car back
to town; and it is doubtful if it is
fit to be repaired The two men in

ly. They received medical treatment

taken, by some friends who were go-
ing through, back to Listowel.

Harold Skelding, who is working
during the summer holidays on the
farm of Wm. Field, his uncle, had a
very narrow escape from serious in-
jury last Friday. PIe had just com-
pleted his morning's work and had
driven the team back to the barn,
and was in the act of unhitching them
when one horse stepped forward and
the wagon hit the heels of the other
horse which became frightned and
bolted. Harold was thrown onto a
stone pile and the wheel of the wa-
gon passed over his head.
He was picked up unconscious, and
it was feared he was very seriously
hurt. He regained consciousness in
a short time, however, and an exam-
ination disclosed no bones were bro-
ken, but he suffered cuts about the
head and a bruised eye.

SOUTHAMPTON PUT
TEESWATER OUT
Goldsmith Too Good for the Teesers
Teeswater protested the last game
played at Teeswater in the play-offs
of the Senior truce League and won
the protest. The replayed game took
place at Teeswater on Monday after-
noon before a large crowd, but South-
ampton proved themselves the best
team, winning by 6-1.
Goldsmith pitched a wonderful
game for Southampton, striking out
13 and passing but one. Boulay, for
Teeswater, pitched cleverly, also
striking out 10, and passing three, but
six errors were made by his team,
two of which he made himself. South-
ampton will now play Owen Sound
for the league championship.
The story of the game can be told
in a few words "Teeswater could not
hit Goldsmith." They had but three
hits and these were well scattered.
Southampton did not earn all of the
six runs they got, errors by the Tees -
water team keeping Boulay in trou-
ble and accounting for some of the
runs.
