(between Clinton and Seaforth on the
local diativond and Seaforth won the
distrkt championship by "di;'feating
the (visitors 13-4.
IO1intrn , however, have lodged a
protest with Huron League Secretary,
1ELuss•e'1 Burgess,. and wish the final
game thrown out. Their claim is
that Bucknam does mit" qualify un-,
der the residence rule and also that
Chick Appel, Stratford umpire, who
officiated at the game, was not.with-
in his rights in calling the game 'when
he did. -

In -the ninth the local 'team repeat-

ordered the game to be played pro-

was decided that the O.A.'S.A. officials

up .the officials at Guelph and were
informed the score would revert to

Mob Scene.
As the Umpire was about to leave
the 'grounds, one of the visiting fan's
who 'ha'd been arguing `all during the
gage, ran after him and attempted
to hit him. In about two minutes-

spectators looking on. It is hard to

were 'bruised and a few had their
hair pulled. It was a regrettable of-•

that anything of this nature has crop-

The •uunpire•s were very fair in their
decisions throughout the game and
the fans, as a wlhole,. were' well pleas-
ed with -their work. :They were in

Is Permissable.
In explanation of the way the Sea -
forth team fanned out in eighth and
ninth, there is this to say: They were
perfectly within their rights to swing
at any or all balls tossed over by the
pitcher. However, it was done in
such an obvious manlier that visitors,
umpires and fan's knew that they, did
not try nor have any' intention of hit-
ting the ball. This sane practice has
been indulged in 'plenty of games but
never in su'c'h an out and out manner.
There is -no rule to pervent it, but it
is not usually resorted to because it
is •very seld'o'm that a team is put• in
the position that the Seaforth team
found th'eassaives in. -
(Clinton were outplayed in the game
but if it is ordered to be replayed,
Seaforth will still be ready to do the
best they can to win.

International
Through the good work of Gor-

Seaforthite, now in Detroit, an
international softball fixture has
been arranged here for. Saturday,
night at 6 p.m. He is"..bringing
the Union Guardian Trust Co.
team over on that day and they
will meet the Seaforth boys in a
game that promises to be a
classic. In a letter to Tom Beat-
tie, Seaforth manager, he says:
"Wa will, arrive in time to play
at five o'clock, so get out the
heavy artillery and be ready for
a good game. This team is at
, present leading the downtown

FIREMEN• BEAT -T H E
WORLD 45 YEARS AGO
Won Hose - Reel Raee at
Sarnia On August
16, 1888.
•
Did you know that forty-fuve years
ago Wednesday, August 16, Seaforth
Firemen won the world's champion-
ship hose reel race at Sarnia in 55
seconds -ea time which has neve',' been
equalled?
The Firemen left for Sarnia on
Thursday, August 15, 1888, and were
royally, received, being met at the
station by other brigades and bands
and escorted to their hotel.
In the first race, ,that for Canadian
brigades, Seaforth came third, hut
on the following day red'eem'ed them-
selves despite a sleepless night.
The famous race was recalled when
Geo. A. Sills, a member of the team,
received a wire from Alex. Broad -
foot, ''Moose Jaw, also -a member,
couched in the following ternns:-'
"What the—Sandy. Forty -Tuve years
ago to -day." M -r. Sills was running
behind Mr. 'Broadfoot and when the
latterwas not going fast enough to
suit him, 'Mr. Sills would call, "What
the --'--(Sandy." That is how George
Sills explains the telegraph.
'A .member of the team writing in
The Expositor the week following
the race, 'said in part:
'"When our turn came, we went to'
the Scratch deterntined to • win. Ev-
ery man was bound to do his duty
and I must say he did it nobly. When
the flag fell we were off like. a shot
and coming around the turn•the peo-
ple on the stands stood wand craned
their necks to get a bette'e, view; the
cart rattled and 'bumped and swayed.
At the 200 yards were were one-half
a second behind Kincardine, but reel-
ing off the hose in the last hundred
we more than made up, and when
we 'made our coupling$ like machin-
ery we got a reusing old cheer. Then
when the judgt'announced: "Seaforth
65 seconds, nothing added for coup-
lings," the people went wild, our
boys could hardly contain themselves.
We had beaten the world's record;
tt•e were champions of the world, and
we had beaten Kincardine • in spite of
their boas'tin.gs and their crooked
team."
And further he describes the trip
hon A three]o •
e •-• t o'clock ek atur
da
Y
irionning we started for e, which
we reached about' nine. We marched
up street in our white pl,:r•g hats, with
browns and captured ' colors flying,
and then separated for home. On
Saturday evening we gathered to-
gether again decorated with the white
plugs and marched down Main Street
and back with the band at our head,
after which Mr. E. C. Coleman made
a speech of congratulation."
The members of the Seaforth team
were Charles Mackay, Allan S. Mc-
Lean., W. McDougall, James Robb,
Alex. Broadfoot, Henry Edge, George
Murray, George Sills, James Neville,
W. Shaw, D. Smith, Geo. Hendry, Jas.
Wright, S. Deitrich, James Davis, L.
Bowerman, Wm. Cline, N. Kehoe.
,But four of these are now in Sea -
forth, that is Dr. C. Mackay, G. A.
Sills, H. Edge, James Robb.

The -consumptive demand for poul-

are very light. The holiday season

THE WEEK IN OTTA
•
Commencement of work by the
newly appointed investigating conr-
Mission, into qu'estion's of banking,
currency and coinage and the discus-
sion attending it, suggest that Can-
ada may be on the threshold of a new
"financial and economic problem. A-
cr,ise the line, with somewhat vary-
ing viewpoints as to the ultimate suc-
cess, Presid4nt Roe•sevelt is doing
things. The increasing 'purpose of
Canadian people, whatever the inde-
cision of governments, is that the
Dotm'ini.on must net lag behind. It
is largely a financial and economic
queetion. Men of great eminence, in
that line, comprise the cone mission of
Lord ,MracMiillan, nSirCharles Addis,
Sir Themis White, Beaudry Leinay,
outstanding .banker and, as a repre-
sentative of mare progressive thought
Premier .Brownlee of Alberta.
Banking System Faces Overhauling
The banking steu'ctur•e is due far an
oulerhauling, There is no great rea-
son to suspect that Canadian ines•ti-
e-utiona, in this 'category, have been
doing things like that revealed in
the Washington enquiry 'but the pub-
lic wants to find out. The terms of
the investigation are broad enough
to ,peilmst investigation, not only into
the hankieg system, but into the
morality of the methods• employed in
its administration. Some of the news-
papers�, sympathetic towards the
banks, give trmrm friendly counsel
that they should not take too much
for 'granted. There is a party, seem-
rr,
''nlgrly progressing in popular favor,
wh'os'e avowed pisrppoere is the destruc-
'tio'n of the •banklh'ig syetens, as it is,
and the su'bstitut'ion of a state bank.

In times like these, w eon discontent
is deep seated, when 'free years of

ally sane people (lespa e ate, when un-

agine a Conservativ" government
would go far in the pin snit of a radi-
cal policy but they aro reminded, nev-
ertheless, that, what they refuse to do
someone else may do. Thus the Lib-
eral party is fast developing progres-
sive ideas, calling for a central bank
and a reiformed currency, . while of
course adhering to its lomrg suit of
low tariffs. In heicf, the govern-
men/laze

thing has to he clone. One proposal
