' One of the most interesting forms of semi tertainment of the present season was the indoo_r baseball match held at Burton Ave. Methodist church last Monday night. The match was played between the Maple Leafs captained by Miss Vera. Spearn' and the Beavers captained by Mrs. Ed. Moore. The Maple Leafs won out by afscore of 5 to 3. John Hutchings was the umpire. The game lasted for three innings. Instead `of baseballs, the balls consisted of, questions, on Biblical, historical, political and other subjects. Some of the answers were most amusing. Sir Adam Beck was declared by one to be the Prime Minister of Canada, and other replies, equally distant from the mark, were given. An interesting system of keeping score was adopted, and the session throughout proved one of exception- `al interest and instruction. The members of the two competing teams were numbered for batting purposes. ~ - ' n vs "nu. gov-`nu I The death occurred at `Allandale on Tuesday, December 4, of Mrs. Sarah Ann Givens, wife of Geo.

Some Historical Notes -In giving a history of the organization Mr. Munro said :- * On Dec. 1, 1873, Joshua A. Leach, who was born in Tipperary County, Ireland, with eleven other firemen on the Old Erie R.R., organized the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen. During the first few years this young organization- met with much op- position from many quarters but the or- iginal faithful and fearless few "stood shoul- der to shoulder and kept the ag of the Brotherhood, flying until time brought re- lief. Today there are 912 lodges with a membership of over 118,000. 104 lodges are in Canada with a membership of over 8,000. In 1920 the membership reached 128,862, the highest in the history of the organization. There -has been $28,749,- l 666.80 paid out -by the organization in death landdisability claims. . A .
