Softball Team Loses
The R. G. Dunn team of St. Thomas
handed the Seaforth team their first
defeat of the season', 13-9. The fans
had an opportunity of seeing a snap-
py team, headed by a real pitcher.
Paddon, the St. Thomas hurler, how.-
ever,
ow=ever, was not a member of the R. G.
Dunn team but was brought along to
give the Seaforth team plenty to
worry over. He was the beset that
has been seen in action here so far.
On Saturday, July 21st, the fam-
ous travelling British Consols Senior
team of . Toronto will 'put on an ex-
hibition of ball playing that will at-
tract a large crowd.... They are the
best drawing card in softball circles,
rased have [been playing one hit, two -
hit and no -hit games all season, so
the locals will have a job on their,
hands to even• compete. On Wednes-
day, -July 25th, an all-star team pick-
ed from the teams of Stratford, will
play the Seaforth Nine.
Two Accidents
The •Seaforth. Nine were ahead of
the R. G. Dunn's when Evan Rennie
ireceived a nasty smack on the head
with the bat when Halliday was to
bat. It was purely accidental. Dr.
McMaster iminedi•ately gam first aid
and it was found that a smell abload
awessel had been broken. Russ bur-
gess finished the game and made a
good substitute but it left the left
field weak. The fans, one and all,
were of the belief that barring the
accident (Stew. Plant also had his
strip wrenched) the R. G. Dunn outfit
might have been defeated. BodipEv-,
®a' and "Stew" Plant will be in Sat-
urday's gaimie.
!San' (Bennie, the first man up for
Seaforth, knocked a home run into
deep left field. Jack Wright Game
through with one in the fifth and an-
other in the eighth. The second one
was the longest hit ever recorded in
a softball game. It went clean aver
the right field fence with three men
on bases. The hall wasn't returned
until Jack had convpleted the circuit.
Spendlove clouted out the only homer
for St. Thomas in the ninth.
The locals had three costly errors
that meant two runs each time. Two
errors in the fifth allowed, R. G.
Dunn's five runs when one run was
really earned. However, it was the
kind of game that the locals need to
prepare themselves for the O.A.S.A.
play oft. Though defeated, Seaforth

RETAINING SEIIVICES
OF DR G. F. ROGERS
Reports That Former S.C.I.
Principal Dismissed
Are Incorrect.
Reports in .local and daily papers
that Dr. G. F. -Rogers hid been dis-
missed as an economy measure by
the ,Hepburn Government, ate incor-
rect, it is learned.
Announcement that Dr. G. F. Rog-
ers, Chief Director of Education for
the Province of Ontario, had resign-
ed, was made on Tuesday. The resig-
nation was submitted to Dr. L. J.
Simpson, Minister of Education, "to
promote the reorganization of the
offices (which 'have Ibeenrn control of
't'he policy of the department."
Dr. ISirhpson, however, has an-
nounced that the services of Dr. Rog-
ers will be retained. In the reorgan-
ization of the department provision
will be made for cc,etinuing the ser-
vices of the chief dire'otor.
Dr. Rogers's knowledge of the sec-
ondary school system and his experi-
ence in the administration of educa-
tional affairs are such as, in the
opinion of the Minister; make it most
'desirable that his services should be
retained.
Before going to Toronto Dr. Rog-
ers was in London and previous to
that at Seaforth. (His notable suc-
cess at Seaforth and London resisted
in his selection by the Ferguson
Government for a place in the de-
partment of education at Toronto,
where his work was outstanding., He
is regarded as one ,of the fotemest
educationists in Canada and has been
frequently honored by educational
bodies. His views in education have
always been up-to-date showing keen
study of his work. Dr-. Rogers is
well known in Seaforth and a year
or so ago delivered a splendid lecture
here under the auspices of 'the Home
and School Club. Mrs. Rogers is a
daughter of Mr. Thomas Stephens of
the Queen's.

With many friend's rpre•senty as

Goderich School Opens
'The Goderich Summer School of
the United Church of Canada opened
Tuesday at the new camp grounds
acquired this year,'three miles north

An engineer of the department of
Public works at London ventured
the opinion that possibly it was
because there had been an.abund-

Former Local Resident is
Successful as Authoress
Mrs. F. B. Billett, youngest daugh-
ter ,of Mete. Elizabeth iMeLean, Eig-
atlond'ville, and a former local resi-
dent, has had much success with a
number of books and plays she, has
recently written. Mrs. Billet has
had a play presented on the radio in
Winnipeg and has received an order
for a (mystery serial. She will short-
ly , ish an 80,000 word novel 'with
re, - . ,daon setting.
1[n commenting on Mrs. Billet's
Work the London Advertiser says:
'It never rains but it pours, the
eld adage which is so often in a.life-
time proved true, applies to the work
of Mrs. Fredericy Broughton Billet
Of this city who told The Advertiser
yesterday on her return from the
Wiest that when things started happen-
ing to her they all happen at once.
"Mrs. Billet, a successful novelist,
is aabopt to publish her fourth book,
as 80,000 word' mystery with London,
Ont., as the setting. Although the
book is arpiystery, Mrs. Billet says it
is real local color too but the char-
acter's are strictly fictitious. And
taow success has pantie in another field

that he took one and presented it ov-

addition gave Mrs,. Billet an order for
a Mystery serial for the radio as, soon,
as she could' get it written. The
authoress may dramatize her first
novel, Calamity House, for this put -
pose. By a pequliar circumstance and
a rmasunderstanding Mrs. Billet was
in the hotel when her play was pro-
duced and did not even know that it
was being presented so soon. The
play was a one -act mystery drama
and she has a number of others for
