with a native stouffvilleite the subject usually turns to the old elm tree once located in the deep centrefield area of thetowh park the tree so the story goes represented a challenge to many of the longball bashers and occasionally it is said one would send a home run drive soaring over its crown but what became of this midfield land mark while leafing through the pages of a tribune backissue this week the editor came upon this ac count dated sept 14 1933 it reads as follows extensive work is being done at the park this week carried out by the parks com mission and the baseball club the c o m mission has pledged 0 towards the expense of plowing up the entire field including the diamond all of which will be levelled and seeded at once in an effort to make the ground more fit measures have been taken to keep cars off he field and it is not likely it will he used for at least a year until the new sod is formed the work is something of an ex periment but we trust that the desired results will be obtained the old elm tree standing at the south east side of the grounds a landmark so to speak was cut down on monday which action has caused no end of criticism for so many people hate to sec them felled and there has been a rush to the office of this paper to voice protest but as the poet truthfully and reverently says only god can make a tree vecan see no point in putting up a fight at this time when the tree is lying in limb wood the baseball club wanted it removed and the parks commission we are informed took a vote on the question and decided its doom however the fine old elm was hollow in the centre and norman m m a c l e a n the treeologist for the commission declared it was so rotten that it could not survive and it was really taken down as a measure of safely
