TITLE HOLDERS
WIN OPENER
A ,large and enthusiastic crowd
were on hand to lend soft ball their
support for the opening game of the
season when the Fry-Guens, winners
of last: year's title and present cup
-
holders, defended their trophy against
the Shell Gas nine, newcomers to the
league through the efforts of the
Shell Gas garage ia town,
"Scotty" Forbes as empire -in -chief,
with, Fred Fuller at first and. Walt
McKibbon at third, as assistants, gave
a familiar setting to the game and
decisions were handed out promptly
without fear or favor.
VanWyck and Vanstone twirled for
the Fry-Gunns and Andy Scott for
the Shell Gas team, while Wild and
Blatchford did the receiving respec-
tively.
This first game of the season
brought forth many a cheer for good
plays and not a few latighs where
errors in judging of fly balls or the
fumbling of difficult grounders made
the player feel foolish.
Eddie Blue of the Shell Gas team
brought in the first home run and
Andy Scott soon followed with an-
other for the same team.
Not so spectacular were the Fry -
Gunn 'batters but consistent hitting
and good base -running gave them the
garne with the score at the finish
18 to 12.

UNITED CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL OBSERVre
ANNUAL. FLOWER, SUNDAY AND ANNIVERSARY
On Sunday, June lst, the United
Church Sunday School held its An-
niversary services. Mr Frank How-
son, Superintendent, had charge of
the morning service and was assisted
by the minister, Rev. S. Davison.
Rev, Mr. Hunnisett pi Fred Victor
Mission, Toronto, was the special
speaker and his messages were most
inspiring. Mr, Hunnisett brought
with him two boys, products of his
mission, Master Jack Barrett, an elo-
cutionist, and Master Ernest lied&
ington, a soloist. These two young
men delighted the congregations with
their well chosen numbers, and bear
significant testimony to the work be-
ing done by Mr. Hunnisett.
A Junior Choir composed of forty
members of the Sunday School led
the singing at the morning services
and rendered iNVO choruses in splen-
did fashion. The Senior choir were
in their accustomed places for the
evening service and contributed a fine
anthem. Mrs. A. Wilford sang a solo
itt her usually pleasieg manner.
The Church was beautifully decor-
ated with ferns and flovvers. A large
cross placed ia front of the pulpit
.decked with flowers brought by the
children, who, in passing by the cross
on their way to their seats, handed
the flowers to several young ladies,
who in turn placed them upon the
cross. While this was being dope,
Miss Jean Christie sang most feel-
ingly the well-lcncrivn hymn "The Old
Rugged Cross."
Another feature that proved to be
of interest was the presence of a
number of canaries, and they did
much to make cheerful the services.
The flowers and the birds brought to
our minds the words of the inspired
writer; "the flowers appear on the
earth once more and the time of the
singing of birds is C0111 C."
Large congregations gathered at
both services and the 1930 Sunday
School Anniversary will be remem-
bered as one of the best.
