A BLACK HOLE FOR SEPOY JUNIORS
—SENIORS WIN BY A GOOD MARGIN
In vain did the intelligence corps of Winghain Seniors the opposing ele-
ments, Ripley this year is assisted by
a few Lueknow players and . have a
real snappy aggregation, but lack a
little in team play. The game started
sharp on time, something unusual for
a Wingham laudienee, and in the first
few, minutes of play, 'the Ripley Red
Men, with their weight and age look-
ed a serions menace to the locals
cherished hopes of the group honors,
but age told again, and the young
bloods on the Wirigham lineup proved
before the end of the first period to
have the speed, and staying power
needed to maintain that speed.
Ferris on left wing for the visitors
was the outstanding player on the.
team and with his follow-up shots,
would have scored a number of times
but for the Hawk -Eye of Jack McGee
in goal.
The score by periods was--ast per-
iod, Winghatn 3, Ripley 1; Second per-
iod, Wingham 3, Ripley o; Third per-
iod, Wingharn 3, Ripley x; Final score
9-2 for Wingham.

the Junior Sepoys of Luckaow strain
their ears for the sound of the bag-

ing tlie bitter struggle in the Arena
on Monday night, Playing a four
and five man defence they put up a
bonny battle, hoping for the break to
come their way, but it was a forlorn
hope. Not even the enthusiastic root-
ing and encouragement of a hundred
pipers and a'—a real company of sup-
porters—who braved. a drive in zero
weather --could bring relief. But the
younsters went down 6-o battling to
the last, took their defeat like real
geritlement, and piling into the bus
went off singing "Hail, Hail." But
about the game. The local younsters
had a little advantage in size; and a
bigger margin in speed, and ie was
this superiority that foretold the re-

She was one of the oldest residents
of Dungannon, having celebrated her
• 84th birthday on. January 6th. The
combined age of herself and husband
Was 17e years, and it was a coinci-
• dence that Mr. Errington's 87th birth-
day fell upon ttie day of Mrs. Erring-
ington's fetneral, Her maiden name
' was Catherine Smith, and she was
married to her now bereft husband 61
years ago last August 4th, the mar-
riage taking place in England, which
ewas the .birthplace of both.
They came to Canada some fifty-
four years ago., Mr, Errington being

coniing. With their thr6e children,
they settled on a farm just north of
Auburn, and afterwards they lived.
in the Township of Morris, near
Browntown, Later they settled on a
farm on the 7th Concession of West
Wawanosh on the 4th Concasion of
Ashfield, where their home was after-
wards deetroyed by fire. They then
purchased a home in Dungannon,
