•Mrs, R. W. James, a dear old lady,
who resides alone- on Francis St, on
returning to her home after visiting
with ber son"; Mr. Phillip lames, in
Grey Township, was annoyed to find
that someone had been in her home
ita and the front of her house was plast-
ered withrmud. This is no fun boys
-and should be discouraged, Many old
people are cross with children and
they in turn do mean things to get
them angry; but this is uot the case
with Mrs. James, who has divided her
fruit with the little lads. Boys, be
manly, do tot play tricks on. anyone,
especially not on old peeple.

However, it is bard for a right think -

to the Zurich-Winghare .geine which

of the game The. score M favor of
Zurich was 16 to x . The best game
of the day was the Teeswater-Wing-
ham game in the afternoon when
Wingham defeated Teeswater 9 to 3,
Although the Teesvvater boys • are
some -what disprganized they pulled
themselves together and put up a fair-
ly good scrap and in a friendly game
were .good losers. The Zurich team
is composed of big husky fellows,
real ball players and apparently good'
sports. ,
Wingliam boys are pulling them-
selves tog -ether ag-airi and we believe
they *ill be winners the rest of the
season. Several of the boys made
good piays. Aitcheson came in for
no little applause front the spectator&
when he grapped a sizzling fly on the
tun sideways. Garner and Walkeralso
brought down good ones. Win, Mor-
den pitched the game with Teeswater
and Geo. Garner the game with Zur-
ich. • Telfer made the only run in the
evenieg game. Brackenbury was miss-
ed off t1r6 team. Stiffen up boys,

and you can. •
