OBITUARY
Joseph Evans •
Bright—Word was received on Sat-
inrday, May 19th, of the sudden death
in Detroit of Joseph Evans. Mr. Ev-
ans went to Detroit a few weeks ago
to spend some time with his son,
Blake. He was in his 93rd year and
was one of the oldest residents in the
-community. At the time of leaving he
was apparently enjoying good health.
Mr. Evans was well and favorably
known in this vicinity, having lived
here many years with the exception
of some years spent in Woodstock,
but had spent the past few years with
his daughter here. Despite his age,
Mr. Evans attended church and vari-
ous doings in the village and the sud-
den passing caused from a heart at-
tack came as a shock to his many
friends. His first wife, a Miss Cook,
passed away many years ago and he
later married a Mrs. Kipp, who pre-
deceased
redeceased hien, a few years ago. He
leaves to mourn the loss of a loving
father, four daughters, Mrs. John
Bristow, Mrs. J. Martin, Mrs. Cuth-
bertson, all of Bright, and Mrs, Har-
rington of North Dakota, and two
sons, Blake, of Detroit and Joseph of
'Wingham. The remains arrived in
Woodstock on Sunday from Detroit,
hence to Bright. The funeral was held.
from the home of his son-in-law, Dr.
John Martin, on Tuesday afternoon.

HURONS LOSE
BRUCE DEBUT
2 -lain Rally in Ninth Falls One Short
For four and one-half innings of
the game in Walkerton on Monday,
the .Hurons: of Wingham more than
held their own with the strong Cap-.
itol club, but the latter: finally broke
the string of, goose -eggs with a three -
run splurge, enough to ,win the "game.
The Hurons do not wish to register
a lot of alibis, but a ball hit down the
left field foul line and apparently foul
by four or five .feet, caused their
downfall. The• locals were again out-
lucked in the ninth when they scored
two runs and should have had at least
one more.
The game was very cjeanly played
for so early in the season. Both,Pet-
erson and Oberle pitched good ball,
each • striking out nine and walk-
ing one. • Pete's only charity started
the fateful fourth, Joe Cassidy watch-
ing 'the
atch-ing'the fourth one sail by: Pete•then
hit Joe's brother, .Frank, on the hip
arid there was two on and none out.
Joe Cassidy obligingly got thrown out
on an attempted steal of third and
things looked better for the Hurons.
F. Cassidy then stole second and Wal-
lace promptly scored him with the
first rust of the game on a single to
left, which looked foul •by consider-
able. Peterson tightened up to strike
out Keith, but Doughty then popped
one over the box to beat it out for- a
scratch hit. Leo Oberle, one of the
most dangerous hitters, then won his
own game with a scorching double
to left, both Wallace and Doughty
scoring. Herb. Moore then belted a
hot one which Gurney blocked and
tossed to Peterson, but Pete dropped
the ball for an error. Pete got that
one back by picking Moore off first.
After being held to two scattered
hits for eight innings, the local bat-
ters came to life in the ninth . Somers
hit the first ball pitched through short
for a single, stole second and went to
third when F. Cassidy's throw went
into centre field. Bob Groves then
drove a single through the same spot
scoring Wingham's first run. Lediet
looped, another single over second,
Groves stopping at second, Oberle
was plainly weakening and the Cap-
itols rushed Bruder to the bull -pen
while Oberle stalled around a bit. Joe
Tiffin then got his second hit of the
clay, a long single to left centre. Bob
beat the throw to the plate with Led-
iet hot on his heels, and when the
ball bounced past the catcher it look-
ed as if the game would be tied. But
as fat would ;have it, the ball hit
Groves on the leg and Bob kicked it
right back to the plate, trapping Led-
iet. With the aid of a doubtful de-
cision Bill managed to get back to
third, but after the Capitols had kick-
ed a bit, was put out on the old hid-
den ball trick. Joe Tiffin advanced to
third but died there as Rae and Mel-
lor. struck out.

}IIT BY CAR ON
AFTERNOON
SUNDAYAF .,•
What might have proved a very
serious accident occurred at the cor-
ner of Victoria and Leopold Streets
about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon
when a car driven by Miss Minnie
Barber hit three' ladies who were
crossing the intersection.
It appears that the car was pro-
ceeding w'est on Victoria St., and the
three ladies, Mrs, Win. Finley and
•Misses Lillian and Margaret Baker,
were walking the same direction on
Victoria St, As the ear turned onto
Leopold Street in some manner. it hit
the ladies who were crossing the
street. Miss Margaret Baker had her
ankle injured and the other two lad-
ies were badly shaken up,
CAR HIT COW
NEAR CARLOW
Mrs: Wm, Aitchison Had Arm Injur-
ed and Betty Groves Her Wrist
On Saturday night a car -load of
Wingham people were motoring to
Goderich and about 9 o'clock when
14, miles the other side of Smith's
Hill, they hit a cow that was wander-
ing on the road. Harry Rintoul was
driving and as passengers he had Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Groves, Betty and
Laura Groves, Doreen Holler and
Mrs. Wm. Aitchison. All the occu-
pants of the car were badly shaken .up
but Mrs. Aitchison had her left arm
near the .shoulder badly injured and
Betty Groves had a bone in her wrist
cracked. The cow was killed by the
impact, and the carhada wheel bro-
ken off and the radiator bent in.
Dr. Munro Not Locating Here
Dr. J. A. Munro, physician and sur-
geon, who announced two weeks ago
that he would commence practice here
has accepted a position in a hospital,
and will not locate in Wingham.

While the boys were disappointedin
not winning the game, they showed
ni.uch promise in holding as strong a
club as the Capitols to such a score
right in Walkerton. Peterson defin-
itely proved his ability to go the
route and only two put-outs were
made in the outfield off his delivery.
* ': *
Fred Mellor'again fielded excellent-
ly, but a fast -breaking curve -ball prov-
ed his undoing at the plate, Fred fan-
ning four times. However, Fred stays
right in there, and should get his
share of Wits before. the season is
over.
* * *
Joe Cassidy, an old Teeswater fav-
orite, showed some of his old team-
mates that he hasn't forgotten how
by making three nice running catches
in centre field for the Capitols.
SOFTBALL SCHEDULE
STARTED MONDAY
Aces Win. Opener by Score of 18 - 6
On Monday evening with a fair
crowd on hand, Aces and Mie -Macs
started off the schedule. On paper the
Mic-Macs appeared to have everything
their own way, but they apparently
forgot they were up against "aces"
and after the first inning trailed all
the way. The outstanding find of the
game was "Bill" Tiffin, who played
short-stop for the Aces, In this his
first appearance he batted .750 and
handled all his chances without error. -
The Mic-Macs were not so lucky in
their fielding, their 16 errors account-
ing for several of the Aces' runs. The
batteries for the game were, Aces, J.
Seli and H. Fuller; Mic-Macs, Rev.
Smith and Weir Elliott.
*
The ,Hurons only made two bobbles
in .the field, and, once `the boys start
hitting the other• Brine teams had
better watch out.
