FRY-GUNNS (AND FOUNDRY IN FINALS 1 LOCAL AND PERSONAL
FOR THE ADVANCE -TIMES TROPHY fr Miss inLoyis visiting with
The semi-finals of the town Soft.
Ball League were played- last week
between the X -Rayed and. Fry-Gunns.
The first game staged on Wed-
nesday evening was full of thrills and
the final result was always in doubt
until the game was called on account
of darkness, the Fry-Gunns winning
by 7-6, On Friday evening they: met
again but the brand of ball was some-
what different than the first encoun-
ter: The -X-Rayed team which is
composed purely of youngsters, got
away to a bad start, allowing their
rivals five runs in the first inning,
after which ,they were unable to set-
tle down and the Fry-Gunns, an -older
and more experienced team won eas-
ily by a score of z5-5:
The final round for the possession
of the Advance -Times Trophy com-
menced this week, On Monday 'ev-
ening the Fry-Gunns had as their 'op-
ponents the Western Foundry team
in a game where everybody" swatted
the pill. The Fry-Gunns played fair
ball, but the Foundry team which has
been idle since the completion of the
schedule, were a little off their usual
stride, and lost out by 2e-zo. The
score however was no indication of
the game as it lasted until it was
getting a little too dark to see the
ball, resulting in several flies to the
outfield being misjudged. In the sec-
ond game of the finals they promise
to give Fry-Gunns a real battle for
the local honors.
In the five years that the cup has
been up for competition the Foundry
has claimed it twice, being the first
possessors in zg25, and again winning
in 1927, each year they have partici-
pated in the play-offs, this year play-
ing in the finals.
The second game of the finals will
be played this Wednesday evening,
and if a third game is necessary, will.
in all probability be staged Friday
evening.

but on the whole Lite gardens were
very good, and showed, itt the ma-
jority of cases, excellent care an at-
tention.

ADDS BEAUTY TO PLACE
'For the last couple of months Mr
A. M. Crawford has had workmen
making decided changes to his prop-
erty at Minnie and John streets. Some
of the main building has been remov-
ed, a new double garage built at the
rear of the lot, a new verandah er-
ected across the front of the house,
and the whole painted. Supporting
pillars of the verandah are round
lake shore stones set with recessed
mortar joints, pyramided from top to
bottom, and are decidedly attractive.
Round gate pillars at the front and
side entrances of similar construction
give the place quite an imposing ap-
pearance, From the front the drive
comes under a porte-cochere, the roof
of which is also supported by stone
pillars of the same stone pattern. To
remove trees and a hedge, which took
years to produce, requires some Cour-
age, yet in so doing Mr, Crawford
bas very greatly added to the beauty
of his home, 'which now resembles
a California bungalow. ne'

TEESWATER NEWS
CHANGES HANDS
Vance A, Statia, former proprietor
of the 'Trenton Courrier-Advocate,
and the Post Orangeville, took over
the Teeswater News from G. K.
Brown, last week. Mt Statia is an
experienced newspaper' man, eapable.
of giving the people of Teeswater ef-
ficient service,' and deserves the
hearty' support of the business men.
As a former neighboring publisher in
Dufferin County, we have pleasant re.-
collections
e..collections of Mr. Statia, and feel he.
has come into: a :desirable field, Dur
the ten years that Mr. Brown has
conducted the News, Teeswater arid..
its vicinity benefitted in no small way
by his vigorous challenge to .local
loyalty, arid advancement of what is
best. He has other business interests
in Teeswater, and for a time at least
will still reinain there.
Magnificent: Oats.
Mr. W. Bartman, Wallace, brought
a sample of Empire Oats to Mr. Jno.
Livingstone, druggist, that, is excep-
tionally good. The sample was pick-
ed atrandom out of a field of seven
acres. It measured 5 feet, z inch in
heighth and one stalk.' contained 134
plump kernels. -Listowel Standard.
Painting the Post Office.
Mr. <Elmer Wilkinson and his work-
men are busily engaged in giving the
Post Office a much-needed coat of
paint, and they inay be seen this weelc
high up on the tower brightening it
up with red while the balance of the
wood work is receiving its coat of
grey.
DELAYED .EXAMINA-
TION RESULTS
Present system of Ontario Depart-
ment of Education in rnakingypublic
results. of Departmental Examinations
is not satisfactory, and works to the•
disadvantage of the pupils interested.
A few years ago the results were
published in the city dailies early in
August, and those interested knew.
their future or fate indue season.
Now, the results are forwarded to the
school principals, and if they happen
to be away on vacation, a most usual
condition, delays are inevitable. This
year results are about a fortnight late
in appearing. No wonder .pupils are
worried and parents exasperated,
Those who wrote at middle and upper
School examinations want to know
the results at the very earliest op-
portunity, so they mai make arrange-
ments to attend Normal Schools or
take up advanced work. With the
opening of Normal Schools in a few
weeks, there remains very little time
to adjust matters. Surely the Depart-
ment can devise some more expidi
tions method of getting these results
out. They should be made public at
one time, and not increase the im-
patience of the pupils; by having them
put out piece -meal. Go back to the
old metltocl of newspaper publicity
immediately .the results are tabulated,
and let the news come at once, and
not bit by bit.
