And the writer remembers -on one occasion after one of our rare experiencesgof beating 0ril- lia on their own Oval, while nursing bru'mes and standing on `the deck of the bow, of ` the steamer Enterprise. just before she left the Orillia dock for the return trip to Barrie, of getting. ker-pluck! -a smash in the face from ahig, fat, juicy, ripe tomato which -spread all over his usually sedate countenance, and V ruined, temporarily, a brand new 75c boiled shirt bosom ` and starched collar.

Amongst the most loyal supporters of` lacrosse in the old -days were the girls- our sisters and other fellows sisters-and none of us forget their high-pitched voices ,and hysterical rooting at especially those games of boyhood days. Among those Old Girl rooters in Barrie were-but, no; on second thought, it's just as well to leave their names to be called up by each] individual memory, for the writer expects to be an occasional visitor to Barrie to re- new old acquaintance, and is using just ordinary discretion in refraining from mak- ` ing personal mention. But do your read- ers who saw any of those games remember the young Orillia lady who jumped over the front balcony in the Barrie grand- stand. and rushed across the eld with her long black tresses streaming to the breeaes, when her Orillia -brother--a rather talkative, pestiferous little fat guy-was being pro- perly disciplined -by his Barrie check? No? VWell, then, there's no use mentioning her name. those tourists-it was a chance to see the` various parts of the country. You were paid $25 and expenses for the game, had a holiday and a visit to a new place, and sometimes `even received a busted cranium or something like that. But probably a more forceful reason was that supporters of the game i-became sickened with the general roughness and ghting in the games, and it is the writer's opinion from a good many years experience, that the majority of those were caused by the crook- ed-decisions given by interested goal um- pir_es. There were-no nets then, and there were no means of verifying whether the ball went between the posts. But a goal- keeper knew when a really raw decision was given against him-and that usually start- ed a rumpus that lasted throughout the entire game. , ,4`: __--.-_ 5-----. u . There were many novel devices used tog hide identity when a player wished to appear on some other team `than his own- `like shaving off a moustache, if you pos- sessed one, or wearing a `false one ifayyou didn't already possess such an adornment. But it remained for `red-headed Bobby Wat- son of Orillia. to dye his auburn locks jet black.

A'iwhole story, in most .-`cases, could be written individually of some of the well- remembered stunts, accomplishments and peculiarities of many of those old players. but the mere mention of their names will bring up to the reader s mind those things without particularizing.

McIntyre was al hum-an battering ram, and nothing ever stopped him on a lacrosse eld, nor big, towering Harry Maundrell, who went through an opposing bunch of players like a -big buffalo or moose; Alf. Lee and Ranald Gunn could throw a ball farther than any- one else; Jim Edmanson was callcd.The Ghost, and that s the way that lanky player used to y over a eld with the ball in his possewion (for there wasn t anything like the passing" or tobying. as it was then called, that there is now, it was more a game of individual effort); Sam Miacey, a little bow-legged fellow. could dodge around and keep the ball in his stick until he got good and ready to do whatever he desired; Herb. Lennox was never known to shoot a ball that he didn't holler, Goal, goal!" possibly with the idea of exciting the umpire to decide that it did go through the posts, and there was no net then to verify any decision; Bill Bennettccould run faster than any boy who ever played -lacrosse in Barrie, excepting, of. course, some of us who branched out as self-appointed-fruit inspectors each sea- son and were sampling early apples in someone s convenient orchard. and ..in con- sequence were putting our best -foot for- ward to keep -about wo jumps ahead of the charge of salt an split peas the irate owner was sending our way; Big Bear" Bill Hartley always ran sideways in a half- circle and protected the ball on his stick with his big bare arm extended, and never seemed to realize that every opposingplayer * t he dodged was trying -his best to knock that arm o.
