Bowling on The Green (By BILL HART) The grand old elm tree that em- braces the entrance to the bowling green has almost fallen on evil days. Tree surgeons, A. Vos & Son of Tillsonburg, found a cleft in the crown which allows water to seep down .through the trunk, that in. time would turn to a cancerous rot, causing the tree to split in two. A major operation is neces- sary to save the life of this beau- tiful old fellow. The cost is one hundred dollars . . . quite a large sum for the bowling club to hand out. One of tlae leading bowlers, who is quite a lover of plant life, came forward with an offer of twenty-five dollars. Such generos- ity was greatly appreciated by the executive. We would all hate to see anything happen to this old landmark that presents such an in- viting picture of serenity and tran- quility. Winter and summer; he stands, meeting the passerby with a show of strength and graceful- ness that can scarcely be matched by Nature anywhere. On Labor Day bowlers from Sea - forth were at Elora and Lucknow. John Beattie and M. McKellar, and 3M,: A. Reid and Dr. P. L. Brady at•- tended the Merchants' and Manu- facturers' at Lucknow, and both rinks won prizes. Those at Elora were: H. E. Smith. Eric Munroe, R. J. Winter and George Hays: George Johnston, W. T. Teall, Fred Johnston and George Charters. An open men's doubles tourna- ment will be held here Monday night at 7.30. VARNA Mr. and Mrs. J.

Continue to be .good sports and back your home town team one hundred per cent. We'll be looking for you TONIGHT at 8.30 p.m., at the Lions Park. Thank you! The public address system pro- vided for the Wingham-Seaforth game Friday, through the courtesy of Frank Kling, added to the en- joyment of the fans and permitted; them to keep track of develop- ments. Fred Willis did the . an- nouncing. "Oh, Shaw!" said Bert, as the rain came down on Tuesday after- noon, "but then the farmers need the rain more than the ball game." Bert was to be plate umpire at the benefit game .scheduled for Tues- day evening between the Seaforth Red Sox and the Seaforth L1ld' Stars, However, the game will be played Wednesday at 6.15 sharp, and in the meantime Whisperings will tell you a little about the way the game might have been played. Bert turned and counted the Old .Stars and found that they had 17 men on the bench, and wondered how they would all play, since there are only nine players on the team, but. David (And Ab) Wilson said, "Ah, come on, Bert! We'll squeeze them in some how." Mayor Reid, Bill Duncan and Charlie Barber were all 'set to watch the bases, as well as E. Turgeon. Bev. (The Waddler) Christie, the first batter, hacked at the bone . pardon me . . . at the ball. Bill (Brush Cut) Teall got the brush-off for telling Lorne (Close Shave) Dale, who was to bat next. Then Ralph (Farmer) McFaddin ploughed through the melee and took his share, but couldn't do a thing when he tried to (Scoop) Fred Willis out of the way. By this time (And Ah) Wilson was trying to straighten things out. Then Bert called in his Aides and• after a time order was restored. Archie (Schoolmaster) Dobson took over and showed the Old Stars their batting order. This, by the way, was the middle of the third frame and the score stood at noth- ing to nothing. - Frank (Baldy) Kling came to the plate and try as they might the Juvenile hurler couldn't even get another hair'. There was an argu- ment going on at third between Charlie Barber and E. Turgeon as to whether Jack (Fat) Wright was out. At last they agreed that (Fat) was too slow on the bases and sent him to the bench. About this time we heard Gordon (Rooster) Muir crowing as Albert (The Bug) Hildebrand crawled .safely to first. Allan (Musty) Reid was rusty, at hat as he struck out. The game was growing hot by now for you could see that Archi- bald (Itchy) Hubert was coming to bat in the eighth inning. The score was still tied. Itchy scratch- ed at the ball and Bill Duncan called him out on a close play at first. The next batter drew a lot of cheers as he was a real Old Star, Reginald (Nig) Kerslake, but he did no better. Jim (Doughboy) MacDonald came up for his turn at bat and Baked. This made three out with no scoring. The last chance for the Old' Stars came along and the game was real hot as the Juveniles started to ride them. There was still a chance of pulling the game out of the •fire as (And Ah) Wilson tried some strate- gy. He put in as a pinch -hitter Bill• (Simon) Sutherland, who came through with a hit. The rally was on .as the fans began to hep it up and call for a run. Wilson once more brought in a pinch -hitter. This time it was Russ (Baker) Holmes. Ruse felt quite confident that he could still poke'r around yet; despite the short time between games, and sure enough he came through with a double to score with the winning run. The crowd went wild and if you had noticed closely as Russ was being congrat- ulated on the hit, he was smiling behind that royal. •flush, which is hard to beat at any time. Thus the Old Stars won the game over the Juveniles 1-0. Whisper- ings believes this is the way the game would have 'been played had it not rained. Don't forget next. Wednesday. See if it turns out this way! There were no games in the Leg- ion Juvenile Softball League this Week. The second game of the ser- ies will be held Thursday,.
