All players on the teams must not weigh more than 124 lbs. nor be more than 17 years of afie as of Sept. 1, 1948. As soon as the teams have been picked on Tuesâ€" day, Sept. 14, at the Centre, the league will be all set for another big‘ season beginning on Sept. 25. After this date, games will be played twice a week, Wednesday at 4.15 and Saturday mornings.

And notice this fellows, that new sweaters will be bought and supâ€" plied to all players tfu's year, but all sweaters must be turned in at the end of the playing season. â€" Last year it was necessary for the players to dress at the recreaâ€" tion center and then scurry over ‘o the playing field at Gibson Park out things are much better this year. A ?ine g‘lnying field has been built up at the Center which will do away with this unngcessary travel. Britain‘s new atomic pile at Harwell is expected this summer to start producing radioâ€"active isoâ€" topesâ€"artifical radio activity proâ€" duced in about 15 hours compared with 2,000 years for radium. The Ministry of Supply éestimates that the increased "roductd will meet the demands of all research workâ€" ers in Britain. Atomic research scientists in Britain have hitherto been producing isotopes from Gleep (Graphite Low Energy Experimenâ€" tal Pile). â€" New Atomic Pile Here‘s the time to try out for the team; fellows. The weighâ€"in is on Friday, so don‘t forget. Mankind has been provided with the tools which can eradicate diphâ€" theria, smallpox and whooping cough. A death from smallpox means neglect of vaccination. The person who dies of diphtheria toâ€" day has not been adequately imâ€" munized. The baby lost through an attack" of whooping cough today has very likely received no vaccine protection. It is up to parents and communities to assure the effective use of the protection now available. The cooperation of every citizen is necessary. 8 NIAGARA PEACHES We have purchased 2 orchards of choice peaches at Beamsville. We are arranging for them to be tree ripâ€" ened.

Ladies‘ Softball s Anyone betting on the length of series should 1;l:ut their money on the girls finishing after all othér township leagues. _ â€" Holidays for various teams, and once even a holiday of two weeks for the whole league have sure held up progress in the Ladies‘ Softball League.

Midget A fromise of a r’ilp-roarin' series was made when Trainâ€"Puddy of the YTASA and East Riverdale struggled to a 12â€"12 tie in their first game last week. It‘s a best of tgree series, but it might go furâ€" ther. The second game, scheduled for last Friday, was not played when East Riverdale defaulted. This fives Trainâ€"Puddy a oneâ€"game ead. Bantam And didn‘t we promise a terrific series last week with Bray‘s, townâ€" ship champs vs. Dominion Wolves? At that time, Bray‘s had lost the first game in an odd sort of way, 18 to 11. Then, they had come from behind in the second game and won in a thrilling fashion, 1 to 6. A third and final game was played just last week now, andâ€" it was a tieâ€"7 to 7! This really ?ut things on a high pitch. In the ourth game, both teams were jitâ€" tery. Eventually, the Wolves overâ€" came our boys, 16 to 8, but they can be proud of putting up a terâ€" rific battle. So what have we left? We have the Mac Motors of Intermediates, still waiting to play, we have the Trainâ€"Puddy team, still waiting to try and get in the finals, and we have the girlsâ€"and were waiting for them. .
