36. _ St. Ann‘s Victors In Softball League : (By H. H.) _ St. Ann‘s are Victors of the best ;:_,"softba,ll league in Ontario for 1935. â€" Congratulations from Grimsby toâ€"the _ St. Ann‘s team. This team was led ?_!lnto the fray by Dizzy Dean Cox, the _ best and most consistant pitcher in . Another feature about "7 per every man put all ‘he had The St. Ann‘s team deserves a great deal ofcredit as all the good citizens out South said the team was crazy to go into this league as they would be no match for the other teams but it turned out as one inâ€" habitant was heard to remark that the hayseeds can play ball. Julke and Woods played well through the series for Beamsville and Pete Tufford handled most of the pitching for this team and did excellent work but his team did not stand up behind him and the errors coming at the time they did , were the ones that gave St. Ann‘s the pennant. Two of the largest crowds were seen at these games and if there is any argument as to this statement, it just took oneâ€"half hour to get out of the jam with a traffic cop doing the was also made out for this amount but Bill says he thinks he can detect a bathing cap odor about it. Harry Reid, manager of the Beamsâ€" ville team, had most of his clothes torn to shreads. His nerves got the best of him. Doc. Thompson, secreâ€" tary of the district league and Harry‘s wife gave him snake oil which steadied him down considerably. The Beamsville team is also a good team but they are known as inners and outers. the fielder did the trick throwing the 1500 fans into riotous cherring. I placed $6.50 against $1,000 but I won. I have the cheque but it smells like motor brakes coming down the mounâ€" tain. Bill Walford also had even money on St. Ann‘s. I understand he won $900.00 smackers. A cheque they were small and residents of iG@rimsby. The writer remembers these boys toddling up Oak street with ball bats and balls in their hands and to give the low down on these many lads the other lads, nick named Cox‘s Army and rightly so but I canâ€" not remember how many were in the family. But why go into this now. With their early training in Grimsby they have become big shots for the St. Ann‘s team and the district in soft ball circles. The three game playoff series was the best of ball except for thesecond game when the St. Ann‘s team made Beamsville look like a Girls‘ team and the last game was a pip and the last ball fielded caused a thrilling sensation. It looked as if the catch was absolutely impossible but »qa}fita‘lfi % e *MWH&C w{them{:p to the top of the league ffig!d 'mefstayed there and won the %goup St. Ann‘s should feel very fyroud of their team.

THOROLD ASKS FOR RESIGNATION OF ITS ENTIRE POLICE FORCE "I saw fields of oats on the 8th conâ€" cession so flat as to give the apearâ€" ance of a steam roller having been operated over them." stated Warden Nicol. "The stalks were quite tall, but for all the grain they would proâ€" duce is next to nothing. When grain is so flattened, it can be cut only one way. What is needed now is dry weather to permit of salvaging at least the straw." Plenty of straw, but comparatively little oats, will be the yield . of oat crops in many parts of the northern section of Wentworth county this year, according to County Warden John R. Nicol, reeve of West Flamâ€" boro. Asked concerning the outlook, the warden state! .‘§’ hat on sections of the Brock road & d back along the 8th concession / aM> after | field of oats were lyingflgat to the ground. The damage occurred from . winds about a month ago, said the county ofâ€" ficial, and once the grain was laid low, there was no hope of full headâ€" ing. _ This league which originated in Grimsby six years ago has developed iinto one of the best leagues in Onâ€" ‘tario. Stoney Creek went through last year for the championship for Ontario and it‘s a safe bet St Ann‘s will carry ioff the honors this year. St. Ann‘s boys may be hayseeds but the Grimsâ€" ‘«‘*punkins.‘" thumbing. .The St. Ann‘s Team will meet Thorold in the next round. The dates set cannot be confirmed at the present time.

Porter once was called on to supply the city of Boston, Mass., with water, by drilling a 12â€"foot channel through 14 miles of solid rock.

BUILDING ACTIVITES > CITY OF ST. CATHARINES Councillor J. H. Carscallen of Saltâ€" fieet stated that a number of men would commence a night patrol of the district immediately. A deluge of complaints from irate farmers demanding some action against the increasing hordes of fruit thieves who are operating throughout the township of Saltfleet, has been received by the township council. In one case, J. Hewitson, well known fruit grower of the district, reported that thieves had entered his orchards over the weekâ€"end and using a truck had stolen practically his entire crop of Burbank plums. In some cases the ‘thieves have actually removed the reâ€" quired baskets from the barn or shed containing them. This is the first time, it was stated, that such wholeâ€" sale plundering of the orchards had occurred so early in the season.
