In the fourth inning the um. Tires as well an the spectators .were 'disgusted and gave the game •to the 'Shell Gas. This (decision caused con- • siderable discussion, as to an umpire's ,authority. the score was 31-4. In looking up the rule book, we find that in Rule 13, section 4, it says, 'A game ellen be forfeited if a team • employs tactks palpably designed to 'delay the game." On Monday evening a gaine of de- scided contrast was played between the Foundry and the Shell Gas. The play was snappy at all tine e with both 'teams on their toes all the tine. At no time during he whole game did either teaiu feel sure of winning, and limither did, as it resulted in an 8-8 tie. In the final frame. both teams Tut all they had into the fray, and in the last half the Foundry had a .trianon second with two down when en hot grounder was knocked down to :Scott, who picked it up and toesed it a trifle wide to first, but the queck action of Will.

MIDDZESCHOOL DEPARTMENTAL EXAM. WILL BRIGHTEN NEW MARKERS After the forinel black and white of this year's license markers, On- tario motorists will be introduced in 1931 to something a little jazzier— black and old gold.

This year it is at the bottom and traffic officers claim it interferes with the legibility of the marker's number. The bolt holes too, will be at the top.
