TIMMINS WINS FROM THE TO CUT RIGHT OF WaY TD FALLS WITH 9 TO 5 SCORE â€" ROAD 70 PORQUIS JGT. 3. There were five or six hundred at the baseball match in the district seâ€" ries last Wednesday when the oldâ€" tiume rivals, Iroquois Falls and Timâ€" mins, tried conclusions once more. Up to the Seventh It Looked Like the Work on Stretch from Porcupine to Fails, Then the Balloon Went Up. Connaught Well Under Way. nat=« Tenders Called for Balance + There were five or six hundred at| Of Road to Junction. The game was full of interest through wut, and though two or three errors kept it from being the best of baseâ€" ball it was nevertheless one of the best games from the spectator‘s point of view. Up to the seventh innings it looked like anybody‘s game, with the chances well in favour of The Falls who at that time held a lead of two runs, the Timmins boys not scoring at all up to that time. As the official score shows there were only three hits by the combined teams in the first % innings, with no runs, and two €rors. In the fourth the Falls made a couple of runs and they kept this lead until the seventh. In this innings Lefâ€" ty Farr started the good work and Pierce, Sheehan, {ieo. Lake, Spring, Mcelntyre and MeLean kept it going. Lefty was at bat the second time beâ€" fore.the seoring for Timmins stopped at seven runs in this innings. Bill Pierce featured the game by a couple of fine eatches that were the *‘ youâ€" can‘tâ€"getâ€"it"" kind. He, got them. Sheehan pitched fine ball for Timmins and had good support.. Mcelntyre beâ€" hind the bat played in finest form. The good work of Manager Scully was evident in the work of the boys. Rceully plays good ball himself and evidently has the knack of getting the others into the game. iSpecial credit ds coming to Scully for his good work. The Timmins team played well throughout and had it over the Falls in general especially after the seventh when the visitors seemed to go up in the air. Ellie Little, the crack pitchâ€" er for Troquois ‘Falls, seemed to have an offâ€"day or poor luck. A couple of boneâ€"head plays by others on their team added to the trouwbles of the visiting team.

Jdulle littie, the crack pIlCHâ€" er for Troquois ‘Falls, seemed to have an offâ€"day or poor luck. A couple of boneâ€"head plays by others on their team added to the trouwbles of the visiting team. Another alibi for the Falls is the fact that as they say the poor infield ground at Timmins is a sreat handicapt to the Falls boys who are accustomed to the fast hard inâ€" field at the paper town. The game last week makes_it certain that the next two games between the Falls and Timmins, will be snorters, all right, all right. Mr. C. M.

It is understood that arrangements are being made for the playing off of the District Baseball League here with the Temiskaming League at the &nd of the schedules. The winners of the Temiskaming League, which inâ€" cludes Cobalt, Haileybury, New Lisâ€" keard and Englehart, looks at present like Cobalt. Cobalt is in the lead with 9 games won, 4 lost and 5: to play. Haileybury has won 8, lost 5, and 5 to play. New Liskeard has won 7, lost 6, and 5 to play. Englehart has won 2 games, lost 11 and 5 to play. Great interest is being taken iw the Temisâ€" kaming League games and some good ball gamées (unusually good games) are being watched by good crowds. Some of the travellers are making a point of dropping off at Cobalt and Haileybury to see the weekâ€"end games. in the Temiskaming League. ‘They say they are good enough to make it worth while. | In this District Timmins, of course;, hopes to win the championship and its chances so far seem O.K. The real rival, of course, is Troquois Falls, but Timmins thinks that will be all right. Of course, Cochrane must not be neâ€" zlected. ‘Cochrane has a fine team of promising material and will have to be ‘‘counted in the running. But the oldâ€"time rivalry in sports between the WINNERS HERE TO PLAY Off WITH SOUTH LFAGUE Falls and Timmins makes this part of the schedule particularly interesting. In any event some classy baseball may well be expected, particularly with the probability of the winning team contesting with the champions of the Temiskaming League. And there is a general conviction that the winners of this Northern League can win all right from the champions of the south. The conquerors have ever come from the North. DEATH OF MRS. JAS. KENT 4 AFP sCHUMACHER ON FRIDAY The many friends of the family in the district will learn with sincere sorrow of the death of Mrs. James Kent at her home in Schumacher on Friday morning. She had been ill for several months, and death was due to heart trouble. The late iMrs. Kent was wellâ€"known and very highly esâ€" teemed by all. In addition to the beâ€" reaved husband one daughter, (Miss Annie Kent, and to these and the other near relatives and friends the sympathy of all will be extended in their loss. Miss Annie Kent was for some time stenographer at Mr. D. W. O ‘Sullivan‘s office, leaving there some weeks ago so as to be in attendance on her mother during her illness. The funcral took place on Monday, the ‘body being taken to Woodstock, Ont., the late Mrs. Kent‘s old home, for interment. Service was held at the house previous to the leaving of the morning train. _4 1, On his. visit to Timmins Rev. Mr. Schutt, as Superintendent of Home ‘Missions, will no doubt decide as to !tlw advisability of reâ€"opening the Bap Itist church in Timmins Such a plan has been advocated by several here and it has been partly with a view to testing out the feelings and the prosâ€" pects that the special services have been held her recently. A couple of years ago there was a Baptist churceh in Timmins, the last pastor Rev. Ian Cruickshanks dying here during the "*Flu‘‘ epidemic, and his place as npastor not being filled since. , §SUPT. BAPTIST HOME 3 MISSION TO VISIT HERE Rev. Chas. H. Schutt, M.A., Supâ€" erintendent of Baptist Home Missions for ‘Ontario and Quebec, is expected in â€" Timmins \ toâ€"morrow â€" (Thursday) and will give an address at the big tent on Balsam street where evangeâ€" listic meetings under the auspices of the Bapfist churel have been in proâ€" gress. _ Evangelist conducted these s expected that he by Gipsy Hawkins gress. _ Evangelist J. Emblem first conmducted these services and it was expected that he would be followed by Gipsy Hawkins. The latter, howâ€" ever, has been ill and so unable to take up the work, and his place last week and this week has very capably been taken by Rev. Mr. Simmons, Bap tist pastor of New Liskeard.

Toâ€"day( Wednesâ€" day) Iroquois Falls plays at Cochrane so the northern railroad centre is goâ€" ing to see quite a chunk of baseball this week.

TMMINS T0 PLAY AT COGHRANE OX SATURDAY FINGERLINGS PLACED IN INDIAN CREEK WATERS Last week the Poreupine Fish and Game Club received a supply of finger lings from the Department and these were duly placed in Indian Creek near Biewater Lake. By attentions such as ODDFELLOWS‘ PICNIC AT PORCUPINE TOâ€"DAY Bigwater Lake. By attentions such as this the Fish & Game Club hope to keep the waters of the rivers and lakes of the district rich with"fish. m The annual Oddfellows‘ picnic unâ€" der the joint auspices of South Porâ€" cupine and Timmins 1.0.0.F., is being held toâ€"day at Golden City at Wilâ€" son‘s Farm. This event is always feaâ€" tured by pleasant sports, athleties, and a general happy time. This year there are to. be two baseball matches, water sports and a long list of other specially interesting events. Tea and coffee served free on the grounds. A happy time for all attending. No one should missâ€"the Pienic this vear. Itis Civic Holiday Tisdale toâ€"day COCHRANE TO PLAY HERE WEDNESDAY NEXT, THE 13th. Owing to the Oddfellows‘ Picnic toâ€" day (Wednesday) the district baseâ€" ball game between Cochrane and Timâ€" mins at Timmins has been postponed for a week. ~Consequently Cochrane will be here next Wednesday, Aug. 17th. The game will be lively one, for the Cochrane team has a nice lineâ€"up of promising players and they put up good ball. Timmins boys feel they can sceore a victory, but at theâ€" same time they expect Cochrane to put up a stiff battle. The Cochrane pitcher has a name for being some class, and the boys with him on the team are giving him lots of good support. It ought to be a good snappy game next ‘Wedâ€" nesday afternoon here, Cochrane vs CALEDONIAN SOCIETY NOT LIKELY TO HOLD PICNIC On the syllabus of the Caledonian Society of Timmins for the first six months of 1921 there was an item ‘*Pieni¢,‘"*~ with the date not set. Many of the members considered that with the several cruises on the Minga this year and the other entertainment features, as well as the uncertainty of the weather and other considerations, it might be as well to defer the pienic idea this summer. The Executive held this view, but decided to leave the question to a meeting of the Society. A special meeting was accordingly called for Monday evening of this week to deal with the matter, but not enough members responded to make a quorum. As there was no meeting, it will likely be taken for granted that the members of the Society agree with the Executive in the matter of deferring the picnic feature this year. The regular meetings of the Society will be resumed about the middle of next month, when the hot weather and the holiday season are over. im lots of good support.

The identity of the dead man is a mys tery, and indeed the whole case is surâ€" rounded by mystery. The discovery of the body ‘has led to all sorts of stoâ€" ries and theories in the district, nearâ€" ly all of the suggestions, however, fail ing to agree with the facts and clues in the case.

CADETS TO CAMP LIKELY NEAR NORTH BAY THIS MONTH The Mayor has been persistently after the Department in the matter of having a Camp this year for the Cadets of the North Land. It seems to be settled now that such a camp will be held, likely near North Bay. The purpose is to ‘have this camp for the boys of Northern and Western Ontaâ€" ria who were not included in the Caâ€" det Camp at Niagara this year. ‘This Cadet Camp will likely be held the last week in August. There will be about 40 or 50 Cadets from Timmins and South Porcupine who will take in the event.

Morvin present Among â€"the spe items of Business t striking of the rat t Mr. D. Laprairie addressed the Council in regard to the sidewalk on Third Avenue. He had erected a new building on that street according to the proper levels and unless the walk were properly graded he would not be able to get into the new building. Others in the same block had either made improvements or were awaiting the lowering of the walk to do so. When the present board. walk was taken away Mr. Laprairie thought that a permanent cement walk should be put down on this street which was perhaps the most used in town. If the Couneil could not finance the building of a cement walk this year Mr. Laprairie thought perhaps the propertyâ€"holders could do the work themselves if permitted. The Council explained that it was the intention to lower the present walk all right, but the Council thought the board walk would do for the present in view of the expenses of the town. If Mr. Laâ€" prairie would meet the other properâ€" tyâ€"holders and arrange for the financâ€" ing the Council would be quite agreeâ€" able. ‘The matter was left for the Board of Works to report upon, after the propertyâ€"holders on the block had been interviewed. iMr. Feidman alâ€" so spoke to the Council on ‘the same matter of the sidewalk. [AX RATE 45 FOR PUBLCG, 41 FOR SEPARATE SCHOOL A woman whose husband deserted her a couple of weeks ago, appealed to the Council fér some help. She was left with two small children and no money. She had been living here but had to leave the house and take a place in Mattagami. The Mayor pointed out that as she was not a reâ€" sident of town the Council could not legally help her financially, but help could be secured ,perhaps through the Mothers‘ Allowanee Act and she was accordingly instructed to call at the Mavor‘s office later. (Mr. F. M. Wallingford appeared again before the Council regarding the annexation of ‘Mattagami and Mattagami Heights. He said he would not enlarge upon the advantages or disadvantages of the annexation to Timmins or the people of the townâ€" sites concerned. He would leave ‘the consideration of this feature of the case to the Counncil for the present, but he would point out that he was sure the residents of the townsites would be only too pleased to join up with Timmins if they could get cerâ€" tain things they wanted, the most imâ€" portant being water, fire protection, police protection and electric light. Matters like grading the streets, sideâ€" walks, etc.,«could be left till later and perhaps built on local improvement plans. If ‘the Council passed the neâ€" eessary resolution showing its favour to wa of ‘Mattagami, he felt sure, would show that the large. majority were with annexation and the petition folâ€" lowing the Counecil‘ssresolution would be largely signed. Mr. Wallingford referred to the traffic to and from the river, and presented maps of ‘Mattaâ€" zami and MattagamiHeights to show the territory affected by the proposed annexation. $ The Mayor said the new territory would certainly be a ‘valuable addiâ€" tion to the town if this municipality were not expected to spend too much (Continued on page 4) Single Copies 5 Cents resolution sh: the annexati M ised to join up could get cerâ€" d, the most im fire protection, g its favour he residents sure, â€" would ijority were %
