With the skies sunny all day, the rain started shortly after the ball game and eventually the game had to be called in the seventh. McIntyre used three pitchers in the six and a half innings while the Falls used Osborne throughout. Highlights of the game were the two field catches by Johnny Monoghan in the second and fourth innings. The play by play report is: 16th Anniversary of Timmins Corps, S.A.

South Porcupine Saddened by Tragedy at Reed Lake. Fuâ€" neral of Late Theodore Swanson Largely Attended Tuesday Afternoon. South Porcupine, Ont., July 11th, 1934. Special to The Advance:â€" The whole community was shocked to learn on Sunday of the very sudâ€" den death of Theodore Swanson, of Golden avenue, known more as "Ted" to all his coâ€"workers and friends. The news that he had been drowned in Reed Lake or Sunday could hardly be credited when it came through, as it .was well known that he was a good swimmer and thorough woodsman On Sunday he left, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Cora, and Mr. Asa Laffin to spend the weekâ€"end at his summer cottage on Reed Lake.

Nichol to Cyrus W. Hodgins, both of Timmins. The ladies‘ section of the Timmins Golf Club are having a local tournaâ€" ment this FPriday, July 13th, comâ€" mencing at 9 o‘clock in the morning, when the qualifying round will be played and in the afternoon match play will commence in the different flights. This tournament was called off last Friday on account of rain. C. W. WRIGHT NEW MANAGER OF RADIO STATION HERE Mr. Swanson was well known here, having resided on Golden avenue for the past eleven years, and he was classed ‘as one of the best diamondâ€" drillers in Ontario. His funeral, which took place from the United Church here on Tuesday afternoon, was atâ€" tended by many people, which attestâ€" ed the esteem and popularity in which he was held by all. Being a Mason, the funeral was conducted partly by that body, under the direcâ€" tion of Messrs. J. Mason and W. H. Johns and R. McWilliams. The Rev. D. Fraser conducted the religious serâ€" vice. The pallbearers were:â€"Messrs. S. Kennedy, J. Bell, A. Michaelson, W. Whattam, G. Stanger, P. Carlson. Constable Noyse from Ansonville was called and an inquest was not deemed necessary by Mr. Grummitt, coroner. again. A woman on shore got a boat and rescued the others but when Mr. Bwanson‘s body was recovered it was found that he had died, not from drowning, but from heart failure. He never reached shore, and they looked in vain for him swimming. Eviâ€" dently his heart gave out from the shock, for he sank and did not rise son therefore told all to hold onto the boat while he swam back for the skiff which would take them back to land. ledâ€" to centre Seventh Annual Picnic of Cornish Social Club two seasons, namely three fligpts with consolation in the championship flight. Largest Pay Day in History of the Camp men‘s team. Tea, sugar and milk will be provided by the club. The fare is a small one for the trip. Further parâ€" ticulars in the advertisement elsewhere in this issue. Tuesday of this week, July 10th, is reported to have established a record â€"the largest pay day, so far as money paid out is concerned, in the history of the Porcupine camp. On Tuesday of this week the amount of money paid out to meet pay cheques issued for the day isw said to have rerched the large total of $400,000.00. There have been no days to equal it in the history of the camp, it is said. Tuesday of this weex was thé reguâ€" lar Hollinger pay day. It was also the tenth of the month and so the regular pay day for a number of the big mines in the district. As a matter of fact it happened that all the mines, Hollinâ€" ger, McIntyre, Dome, Coniaurum, Payâ€" master, Buffaloâ€"Ankerite and other mines of the district all paid on Tuesâ€" day. This meant a remarkably large total payroll. Those in a position to know suggested that the combined payrolls for the two weeks for which the pay cheques were issued on Tuesâ€" day by the mines would easily reach the $400,000 mark. This notable reâ€" sult was due to the pay days for all the mines happening to all fall on the same day. In addition it may be noted that practically all the mines of the Porcupine l}ave been increasing their staffs recently. It will be admitted that $400,000.00 is a comforting amount for any town or series of town to have as a payroll for a twoâ€"week period. Despite the record. ssze of the payâ€" rol! on Tuesday, the evening was unâ€" usually quictâ€"quiet for an ordinary evening, quiet for any kind of a pay night, and especially quiet for a record pay night. There did not seem to be any special stir around town in the evening and there was nothing to inâ€" dicate that a large amount of money had been turned into circulation through a record payroll. At. a meeting of the Northern Onâ€" tario Golf Association held at Sudâ€" bury on July 7th, it fas decided to hold the Northern Ontario Golf Championship tournament at Sudbury on Thursday, PFriday and Saturday., August 9th, 10th and l1th. Each club is entitled to enter twelve players. Tns draw for playing partners in the qualifying round will be made at the Nickel Range hotel, Sudbury, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 8th, under the direction of W. T. Green and the repâ€" resentatives of the various clubs. The play will begin at 8 a.m. on Thursday, August 9th, and the contestants must be at the first tee when called for. The seventh annual picnic of the Cornish Social Club will be held on Sunday, July 22nd, at Sandy Falls. At the same meeting on motion of Geo. W. Lee, seconded by A. J. Hatâ€" cher, the Huntsville Golf Club was invited to participate :m the tournaâ€" ment. The application of the Sault Ste. Marie Country Club for memberâ€" ship in the association was accepted on motion of Messrs. R. D. Parker and A. J. Hatcher On motion of the same two members the Root River Golf Club of Sault Ste.

They claim that 20 minutes is ample time for any reasonâ€" able parking. They hold that the obâ€" jections raised against the byâ€"law are more apparent than real. They miniâ€" mize the disadvantages and urge that the byâ€"law has already been of much advantage. Although Tuesday evening was pay night at all the mines in the district there was no trouble on Third avenue and Pine street from cars crowding the street. The freedom of the street for regular traffic is claimed by those favouring the byâ€"law to be due to the parking rule. Those in favour of the new regulation suggest that if the people give the byâ€"law a fair trial and if the police show the same discreâ€" tion and good judgment that they have displayed in the past, the 20â€"minute parking limit will eventually prove to be of general benefit. These people say that there is ample parking space available for the needs and that the new regulations will not work any real hardship on anyone. It will be remembered that some years ago the board of trade recomâ€" mended a parking byâ€"law to the town council and the councii passed ~the byâ€"law at one meeting only to have members of the board of trade appear at the next meeting of council urging the rescinding of the byâ€"law. This incident showed the difference Oof opinion that can exist on the subject. Apparently a similar difference of opinion exists toâ€"day in reference to the new parking byâ€"law. It would seem that the only proper thing to do is to give the new parking byâ€"law a full and fair trial, do all possible to have it work well, and then if it still appears to be undesirable or impractiâ€" cal to have it amended or repealed.

At present there is wide difference of opinion on the value of the byâ€"law. Some claim that the byâ€"law if enforced will drive business away. fromâ€"town.as:they.claim: that 20 minutes is not long enough for shopping purposes, especially for those coming from out of town. In regard to outâ€"ofâ€"town customers it is said that there is a movement under way in both Schumacher and South Porcupine to capitalize the feeling against the byâ€"law by emphasizing the tradeâ€"atâ€"home idea for the neighbourâ€" ing town. There is also said to be a tendency on the part of some using motor cars to patronize stores outside the parking limits. If there is any such move under way it wil no doubt take a little time for its effects to be apparent. Still further it is urged against the 20â€"minute rule for parking that it is not desirable in the case of doctors, dentists and others. Also some business men who have in the habit of parking their own cars near their places of business find the new regulation inconvenient. MAN‘S BODY FOUND IN RIVER IN KAPUSKASING DISTRICT Although no one has been charged with breach of the byâ€"law and the police so far have contented themâ€" selves with warning any offenders, the Investigation is still being carried on into the causes of the fire that so badly damaged the new mill at the Hollinger property at Matachewan. Evidence has been sccured to confirm the suspicion that the fire was not caused by lightning or by other acciâ€" dent but was apparently the work of someone disaffected and ready to inâ€" Jjure the Hollinger and delay the comâ€" pletion of the mill. Opinions Differ on the Parking Byâ€"law Some Find it a Nuisance, Think it Hurts Business. Others Believe Helps Control of Traffic. Investigation Into Cause of Fire at Matachewan HON. R. G.

Timmins People Still in Hospital from Car Accident Mrs. S. R. McCoy and daughter Phyâ€" llis are spending the holidays at Walâ€" Austin Neame, president, and the other executive officers of the branch, earnestly hope that a record number of the members will be on parade. It is essential to the welfare of the branch and a duty of every returned man that they attend to pay homage to their departed comrades. Winstcn, Harold and Albert Hensby are still in the hospital at North Bay as a result of the accident on the highway 18 miles north of North Bay on July 1lst. The Hensby car driven by Albert Hensby was on its way to North Bay when the accident ocâ€" curred. In the car with them were Mrs. Harold Hensby and Robt. Pearson of Timmins. The two latter, though receiving some injuries, were able to return to Timmins last week, but the others are still in the hospital at North Bay. Harold Hensby received injuries to his face and head. Winston Hensby suffered severe cuts and bruises. Alâ€" bert Hensby also was injured about the face and head. The accident reâ€" sulted when the Hensby car met anâ€" other car on the brow of a hill. The cars collided with much force, the North Bay Car, driven by Harold Rayner, turning over in the ditch. The North Bay driver, Harold Rayner, died from the injuries suffered in the acâ€" cident. An inquest is to be held but the date has nct yet been announced. Special music will ‘be provided for the occasion At each of the churches and the sermons will be inspiring and enlightening. The annual church parade of the Canadian Legion, Timmins branch, will be held Sunday, July 15th. This year instead of the usual openâ€"air service the Legion will attend the churches ‘of Schumacher . Those of Protestant denomination will parade to the Schumacher United Church, with service at 11 a.m., and those of Cathoâ€" lic faith will attend service at the Schumacher Catholic Church. It is given here for the information of the veterans of the Great Wayr that the Legion deserves to make this parâ€" ade an outstanding one as it is the first time that the branch has ever attended the churches at Schumacher. All the members are asked to attend and a very cordial invitation is extendâ€" ed to all veterans of the Great War to march with the Legion. The members will muster at the old Schumacher ‘ball park, near the Holâ€" linger property, at 10.30 a.m., and headed by the local bands will parade to the above churches. The Timmins fire department reâ€" sponded at 6.30 this morning to an alarm of fire at the rear of the Tayâ€" lor Hardware building on Third avâ€" enue. When the firemen arrived on the scene the fire had burned through the new door into the cellar and was then all set for doing considerable damage inside the building and provâ€" Ing a very serious fire. Fortunately, however, the early discovery of the blaze, before it had time to get a grip on the building, prevented a fire of serious propcrtions. The firemen were able to quickly extinguish the blaze ‘by the use of chemicals and so to stop what might easily have been a very bad fire. Another few minutes would have given the fire a grip that would have threatened very serious reâ€" sults. As it was, the damage done was not at all serious. The fire started from a waste burner in the yard, catching on the door of the cellar and starting to eat its way through into the building.

Weekâ€"end Unfortunate for Motor Car Travellers. Seven Hurt When Car Left Road at Porquis Junction. Other Timmins People in Accident Near New Liskeard. Other Accidents in the North. There were several serious motor car accidents in the North during the weekâ€"end and as a result a number of Timmins people are in the hospital or ill at home from injuries received. Fortunately, there were no fatalities but some of the injured were rather badly hurt and there were the usual unfounded stcories of deaths from some of the accidents reported. to Timmins on Sunday. He is at his home here and donig all right towards recovery. O. Poirier was cut about the face, head and leg. E. Lebrun was cut on the face, head and arm. A Latour suffered a bad cut to his head. All in Another serious accident in which Timmins people were concerned took place near New Liskard SBaturday eveâ€" Orange Church Parade on Sunday of This Week Timmins and District Orangemen at Cochrane Probably the worst accident of the weekâ€"end was the one near Porquis Junction when a car owned by A. Latour, Timmins, took the ditch on Sunday morning at an early hour. It is not known just what caused the acâ€" cident but it may have been loose gravel or other causes on the road. In the accident Mrs. A. Brazeau was rather badly cut about the face and head. Her daughter, Emmerie Brazeau, had his wrist broken and sustained minor cuts and bruises. These three were taken to the Iroquois Falls hosâ€" pital, Mr. Poirier being able to return to Timmins, but the two ladies still being in hospital. A. Brazeau sustained a broken collarbone, but came back bruises as well as the shock of the acâ€" cident. While all are painfully hun, none of the injuries are likely to prove had her ankle broken and suffered other minor injuries. George Poirier While there is general interest in each and all of the members of the Timmins Orangement held their anâ€" nual church parade on Sunday evening last, July 8th, marching in a body from their lodge rooms in the I.0.0.F. hall to St. Matthew‘s Anglican Church for the evening service.

Mine Managers Meet at Temagami Camp Mining Association was held on Thursday and Friday of last week, July 5th and 6th, at Camp Chimo, Teâ€" magami. As usual at these meetings many questions of interest and imâ€" portance to the mine managers and their work were considered and disâ€" cussed while there were also valuable papers on various phases of mining work and activity in the province. All the mines in the Porcupine were repâ€" resented at the meeting. In addition to the business features of the meetâ€" ing the delegates in attendance enâ€" joyed the ‘beauties of Temagami and the other advantages offered at Camp Chimo. At the election of officers Donald MacAskill, general manager of the International Nickel Co. at Sudbury, Ont., was elected president of the Onâ€" tario Mining Association for the enâ€" suing term. After a Minister of Mines like Hon. Chas. McCrea who was able through his wide knowledge and ability to do so much to further the interests of mining and this mining country, new incumbent of the office of head of the Dept. of Mines will have to be an outstanding man to win as high a place in public esteem in the North as that held by Mr. McCrea. The new Minister of Mines, Hon. Paul Leduc, is the member elected last month for Ottawa East, winning the seat for the Liberals. Hon. Mr. Leduc was born in Montreal in 1889, and so is 45 years of age. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Napoieon Leduc. Educated at St. Mary‘s College, Montreal, and at Laval University, @uebec.
