IHensall defeated Sarnia Red Sox

third game which will be played at

Hensall scored the winning run in

Hensall.
Both team's put up a good brand
of baseball, Kerslake went the route
for the winners and was touched for
11 hits, while Mulligan started for
Sarnia• and was replaced in the third
by Elliott after the foamier had- been
picked for five hits which coupled
with two errors accounted for five
runs. Hensall scored again in the
fourth, sixth and ninth innim'gs.
Sarnia tallied once in the third and'
fifth and had a big inning in the 6th
when four runs crossed the plate on
three hilts, two errors and a sacrifice

Hold Annual Meeting.
Fred Ellerington, Exeter; C. Bed-
ard, Zurich, and Andrew Bell, Kip -
pen, were appointed directors for
Huron County at the annual meeting
of the Ontario Bean Growers' Assoc-
iation'held in Ridgetown Monday af-
ternoon.
The Association includes as mem-
bers many bean growers of the Hen -
salt district.
Wesley Ward, the president, in re-
viewing the progress of the associa-
tion since last March, stated that
some of the men in the Bean Deal-
ers' and Growers' Association were
breaking away and the. moral of the
association was being broken which
had done so ir.uch for the. advance-
ment of the price of beans from 35
cents to the present price of $1.13.
;Legal action will be taken against
the firms of J. A. ;McLandress, of St.
Thomas, and W. G. Thompson, of
Blenheim, failing the success of ar-
bitration, the alleged breach being
the selling of beans on various oc-
casions for a price below the price
fixed by ,thecouncil, and by selling
direct instead of through the selling
agency.
;Mr. Ward reviewed the' situation
briefly. The bean dealers and' grow-
ers developed a co-operation between
their associations, appointed a board
of six members, three dealers and
three growers, hired W. E. Reed, of
Chatham, as sales agent of the board,
to whom he gave merited praise and
noted the price raised gradually to
$1.13 a bushel. "If we hadn't run in-
to difficulty, we would have been get-
ting $1.2)5 to -day," he continued,
Last month, Mr. Ward explained,
there had been abreaking away of
some dealers, and he said that sup-
port mit he given only to dealers
wlio have remained loyal.
An a'gr'eement was drawn on June
30th of this year, he said, and signed
by all dealers, some 14 in number.
The action against Thompson and
McLandress is to lei based on a clause
in the agreement which points out
that in the event of an alleged
breach between the board and any
dealer, each of the parties agree to
submit their dispute to an arbitra-
tor, each party to appoint an arbi-
trator, and these two arbitrators to
appoint a third. Any party neglect-
ing to appoint an arbitrator within
two days of receiving notice shall be
deemed to admit correctn_ss of the
other party's charges.
As an example of ,one breach, Mr.
Reed quoted that a firm in Wiitni-
peg of Camphell, Wilson and Miller
had offered $1.20 fol• beans to the
association. I-fe replied that thfe
hoard was not selling loss than
$1.35. He stated he hear nothing
more, but records showed beans were
sold inWinnipeg by McLanclress for
$1.35. lie stated he heard nothiiig
the bean business you must organize
against such, dealers. Most of the
dealers have been very loyal. We
have handled in this off-season,
March to August, some 205,000 bush-
els of beans," he d:clared.

'at. Coli. niban Junior football team
won the Western Football Associa-
tion championship `by defeating Rol-
atein 5-0 before a large crowd of
enthusiastic football" fans Tuesday
night.
The St. Columban team having met
defeat at the hands of the • Holstein
eleven, some weeks ago, protested
the game because iHiolstein used a
player whose residence was outside
the nine -mile, area, The Western
Football Association Junior trophy,
won by the St. Columban team, hats
'a' 'historic background in the fact
that this challenge cup was played:
for and won at Newark, 'New Jersey,
.by Berlin (Kitchener) when it was
emblematic of the world's champion-
ship' away back in the year 1882.
The St. Columban eleven showed
championship foam and on the night's
play were deserving of, their decis-
ive victory. The first half provided
the fans with clever plays on the
part of both teams, but D. McCarthy
on the right forward browe through
the Holstein defense to beat Christie
fol• St. Columlban's first tally.' The
Holstein Juniors fought hard to ev-
en up the score but the whistle end-
ed the first half With St. Columban
still one up.
After only a few minutes' play in
the second half, the smooth working
St. Columban forward line completed
a beautiful combination play and F.
Stapleton tallied fromin close. The
St. Columban backs kept the ball
well up and H. Mclvor scored from
in close and J. Holland, centre half-
back, booted a long hard drive to
beat Christie for St. 'C6riiniban's
fourth goal. The final goal -was scor-
ed when Dan McCarthy, St. Colum -
ban• star forward, scored his second
goal of the game.
'The Holstein defence was decided-
ly weak in kicking due to the team
not being at full strength as three
regular players- were unable to be
present.
