' Nineteen years ago Herb MeCor- mick came in from Annis one Frida, evening bringing with him the glossy pelt of a black bear, shot by him with a Coles revolver. . T Herb was employed by the local lumber 'company, and was on a basin- ess trip to one of the camps. Herb way l shootist pf no mean ability, T While visiting the Annis camp Mr. McCormick strolled off into the wads alone. Close by there stood a tree. In the branches he saw a bear. He had his six shooter in his pocket. He pul_1ed_it. -___- FV - _ And thereby hangs a tate-the" best bear story the camp had heard. We'll téll it as it was told to us then. Bruin saw Herb about the same time Herb spotted brain, and it was a seripus question which was the most scared. Herb thought the bear looked it, but he was ready to admit he felt it, There wasn't time to think much about it. Bruin started down the tree..Herb was somewhat of a strategist even if seared. He had no one to fall back up- on, and realized that he was safer it he could keep the bear up a tree. So he ran to the trunk of the tree to eat off bruin's retreat. PAGE FOUR Did you ever see a bear come down a tree? It is always tail first. It is a sort of flank movement that can be checked very'easily if one is in the rieY posi.tior,t apd can shqot straight: Herb stood close to the tree and drew up his artillery. Bruin continued to slide "toward him. He waited. The hear drew nearer. Herb could have smelt his breath had his breathing end been toward him. He took steady aim and fired. The bear stopped a moment. Herb fired again. And again, and aggin, - -Bruin suspected there was some- thing wrong below; and started back up_the tree. .- -- - -He stopped at a limb, and turned round to see what was the trouble.

Bruin started the descent again-- tail first. Down he slid slowly. Again the faithful Colts barked. Bruin climbed back. Obviously he was feeling uneasy. So was Herb. Down he came again, head up. Herb stood his ground and poured a volley of shots into the Russian emblem. The emblem this time went up and up. The limb became smaller and the top of the tree swayed with his weight, . _ Suddenly a limb broke and down fell the bear. He was caught in a fork of the tree and hung there. The fall broke his neck. 7 Eighteen bullets were found inside the bear, but there wasn't a bullet hog? found fn the pelt. __ - -. - The trise was felled and bruin skin- ned. That's what maiie Herb feel so proud of his shooting. One sweet game ht the Major Lea- gue at Sunnyside is to take 'place next Saturday night, when Supremes and Parksides hook up in a regular league game. Rivalry is keen between these two squads and the result is always' in doubt till the game is over. Parksides have not lost a league game this year and will battle to keep their reputa- tion. Supremes have been getting back to their old form in the last few games that they have played and should give Parksides a real battle.

Weston Junior Lacrosse Team Meet Their First Defeat When , Brampton Wins 3 to 2 On Wednesday evening last the Juniors met their first defeat. Ae- cording to reports from their coach, Mr. Harold Coulter, ragged fielding was the reason and from the specta- tors view point, the lads ambition to score the individual goal seemed to be the cause. All the lads play so well that possibly they feel too sure of their individual abilities. Combin- ation played them their only two goals. The first period started off well, but it was no time before the Bramp- ton lads got their first goal. Their united efforts began to tell and the play was mostly at the Weston goal. The Weston lads seemed to have the scoring luck against them, plus the fact that the goalie for Brampton was very fine. The first period ended 2- 0 in favor of, Brampton. The second period while fast, still had our lads fielding raggedly and Brampton keeping the play around the Weston goal. Cordick, the Weston goalie saved many fine shots by his skilful and fearless defence of his goal. Period ended with Brampton again scoring, making 3 goals to 0 in their favor. At this stage the Weston supporters were getting restless and wondering what had happened to our lads,. The 3rd period started with Weston tight- ening up the defence and a commence- ment of that splendid combination work they usually display. The re- sult was very obvious. On a neat pass Campkin scored the first goat for Weston. The second goal was the result once again scored by a piece of good combination, Scott pass- ing a dead shot to Campkin, and he passed it to Shantz, who in a flash hadAt in fora goal. A Illlllllrfll,li EfllfS LOCAL JUNIIJHTEAM This period erided 3 to 2 for Bramp- ton. The last period commenced with Brampton showing signs of worry. They knew if our lads kept up that class of play the game might easily be lost and to their credit they fought clean and well. Up to this time and to the end only about two or three minor penalties had been handed out. Scott got a nasty shoulder strain, but bore it bravely, although put out of the game. So well did both teams struggle for supremacy that the per- iod ended with no goals scored. The game ended with three goals to two for Brampton and our Weston lads had suffered their first defeat and as seems to be the rulefrom Brampton. All lacrosse fans know that Gese two towns have been for some years the leaders in the game and always keen interest is created when they get together in this, fine Canadian game of lacrosse. The line-up was: Cordiek, goal; Scott, MacCallum, Nip Clark, Dodd, Campkin, Weller, Shantz, Rogers, Sosnoski, Darragh, Seal, Kelman and Carr.

A large number of Associate mem- bers were present and, the Weston Ladies served afternoon tea to about seventy-tie ladies,. NT It was also pleasing the way the Brampton boys subscribed toward the funds for the Mimico lad who suffer- ed a broken leg when accidently sandwiched between two of our Wes- ton lads at the Mimico game held on June 20th, at Mimlco. Nearly the whole team bought a ticket. Our own lads and W.A.A.A. members took some 25 tickets, with Maitland Juve- niles also assisting.

Brampton played a very fine game and we must admit, deserved their success. The Juniors play Mimico on the Town Park ground this evening, and go to Oshawa on Friday, July 26th. Cars meet at the Eagle House be- tween 5 and 6 p.m., Daylight Saving Time. On Monday, July 29th, our lads play at home, Town Park, against Io- rontos. Keep these dates in mind a: the lads look for your continued in- terfst apd support. _ . The Juveniles lost their game at Cottingham Square against Maitlands to the tune of 6 to 0. The lads play- ed hard and well, but some of their teammates failed to put in an appear ance and left them a weaker team than usual. There is still a chance for them in the play-offs if they win their next two games.s They have won one game Ind lost .thre.e._to date. The Tennis Section is still going strong. It is regrettable that so much delay has been incurred in commenc- ing work upon the fourth court. The Section commences its annual tourna- ment this week and with so many "iihfeTyTnu present enjoyed a real fine WESTIN AM. MITIVHES THE WESTON TIMES & GUIDE entries makes progress slow. The champion matches for town honors will soon be due and it is hoped the court will be available as promised by August Barlk holiday. The Section held a garden party at the home of Mrs. T. E. Harris, who is always very gracious each year in having the players at her home. It is a real treat to visit the home or this lady who is a very keen horticul- turist and has a flower garden well worth seeing and enjoying. Miss Hel- en Musson, with other ladies of the Tennis Section, assisted Mrs. Harris in arranging a good time for all. en Musson, with other ladies of the Tennis Section, assisted Mrs. Harris in arranging a good time for all. The players during the afternoon were divided in two groups and one played the other with interesting re- sults. Mr. Dan McArthur and Mr. W. Westover acted as captains of each group. The Juvenile Section is having a get-to-gether day at the Tennis Courts on Thursday, July 25th, at 3 p.m. Miss Helen Musson hopes all Juve- nile Tennis players will be present. The Championship Tennis trophies for Juveniles will be on display and all Juveniles members who wish to com- pete for these trophies will give their names to Miss Musson on Thursday. Schedule of play will be advised on 1the bulletin board at the Tennis Courts ater. The trophies it will be remembered have been donated to the W.A.A.A. by Mayor A. Lorne Coulter, and Mr. W. Riddell. I Softball is going strong and the next games at the C.C.M. grounds will be on July 22nd and July 25th. Reports of last week's game appear under another heading. It is certainly too bad that the United States Amateur Athletes can't take a beating and admit it. At least some of them. Eddie Tolan the dusky United States National 100 and 200 yard sprint champion who was defeated by Percy Williams in the recent meet held in Vancouver, is squawking about the decision claiming that Williams received a home town decision. ' The first requisite of a true amat- eur is to accept official decisions with- out question. The officials are not always right, but they are honest and call them as they see them. The finish line judges in Vancouver were men of real stand- ing in the community and not indiv- iduals who would cheat even for a national hero. And the finish judges at Vancouver were certainly in a better position to determine the placing at the finish in that battling finish than a competi- tor who wad driven out to his last ounce and was making his last lunge at the tape. I ( The Canadian Henley will be held as usual in St. Catherines and pro- mises to be the largest rowing re- gatta held on the American Continent this year. Official opening of the regatta will take place to-day, although the an- nual boat race between McGill and Eoronto University took place yester- ay. An interesting match for the fight fans will take place to-morrow night when Jackie Phillips and Red Bragan hook up in a titular fistie encounter that promises to have all the ear- marks of a Tunney-Dempsey bout. Entries are being received from the best girl swimmers in the game for this year's Wrigley end Canadian National Exhibition ten" mile swim and it will be no surprise to us if song: unknown cops the race. The Oslér Baseball Team are begin- ning to feel the strain of so much tra- velling, it is just a matter of a game and back to train, on to the next tow” and back again. Several of the players have slight injuries which will handicap the tease to some extent in their remaining games, but nevertheless, Oslers have done very well indeed on their West- ern Trip and have given Western peo- ple a chance to see the calibre of Ball played in the East. Entries are coming in fast and some of best girl athletes in the coun- try will take part. George Young is certainly hard for his big race this year and under the careful training of Tommy Bell, is gaining strength and better wind. Ideal training accommodation and the cool waters of Fenlon Falls should do George the world of good. Much interest is being taken in the Women's Championship meet that is to be held Saturday at Varsity Stad- ium, sponsored by the Parkdale Lad- ies' Athletic Club. The Toronto Baseball team are gtr ing nicely just now and are getting the support of most of the baseball fans in and around the city. Their new home on Fleet Street is the es- sence of perfection. A well drained field assures the players of sure foot- ti,nS and the fans of a fine type of a . Another disgraceful display of sportsmanship has been taken care of in the suspension of Cooney of Buf- falo and Stahlman of Newark, the principals in the Buffalo Baseball riot. Fighting has no place on a ball field. A most unfortunate accident befell three members of the travelling Osler Ball team of this city, when a fire- escape on which they were standing collapsed. Alderman Fred Hamilton, Grant Edwards and Irish Eagleson were all injured. Their team were just preparing to leave Bradon, Mani- toba, for Winnipeg last Saturday, where they were to play their final game of the trip, when the accident occurred. Alderman Hamilton was the most seriously injured, his chest being crushed. Mrs. Hamilton left Saturday night for the western town. (llflllllllls from the Field of Sport :h year in home.
