"SCRATCH HITS"
The Hurons start down the long

pennant before summer is over, play-

Capitols`in Walkerton next Monday.
The Paisley Cardinals will help the
locals pry off the lid on the home
season here next week. Arrangements
are being made for the usual opening
ceremonies, The Mayor will throw
the first ball across the plate (maybe)
and Reeve Davidson will probably
sprain liis back trying to knock "Cap-
py's" head off. As yet nobody seems
willing to try and catch the Mayor's
slants, so the new screen will prob.,'
ably receive its first baptism under
fire at the same time.
This Paisley team will be no set-
ups for any team in the league. The
Cards have been resting for the last
few years but in years gone by won
the old Malcolm Trophy twice, in '25

wish to express in a small way their
appreciation of your labors during the
short years you have spent amongst

As our Rector, Mr, Hayes, you have
given us of your best, in every way,
not grudgingly, but you were ever -
willing to attend to the duties which
are incumbent on a Rector. Your
ministrations were always a power of
good to all whose privilege it was to
hear you. We feel the Church has
prospered under your . ministry, and,
though rnany have passed to the great
beyond, and other have removed, we
feel that our Church is still ',able to
carry on.
We trust that in whatever field you
may be privileged to labor in the fut-
ure, that God's richest blessing will
rest upon you.
For you, Mrs. Hayes, we wish to
add to that of your dear husband, that
a divine blessing will go with you for
your untiring efforts, not only iti the
Choir, but in all work pertaining to
the best interests of the Church, al-

ity pass without expressing our sin-
cere feelings in some. manner, -! we
oe
We therefore ask you both to ac-
cept this small token, as a mark of
our esteem. '
