O, B. A.. Mr. E. Parsons, president of the Lea- gue, announced yesterday that Osh- awa will meet the winner of the 'to-morrow"s match in a sudden death game in Cobourg on Saturday after- noon, the game to commence at three o'clock. It is thought that this Sat- urday game will draw a good crowd as fans are expected to be in the Ferry Town frbm Oshawa, Bowman- 'ville, Port Hope, Peterboro, Cobourg and Belleville, Lindsay had timated its willing- ness, if it should happen to win to- morrow's game, to toss a coin to see where the' play-off should be staged. Either Oshawa or Lindsay was agree- able to them but as a driving meet is being held here on Saturday, it was not possible to accede to Lind- say's offer and the executive has or- ,dered the game to Cobourg.. Oshawa at the present time is lead- ing the league with eleven wins and three losses while Peterboro and Lin- dsay are tied for second place with ten victories and three defeats. whichever team wins to-morrow's game will be on even ier:m:ms with Oshawa and will then participate in the play-off, But while Oshawa's interest will be in the fown on the banks of the Scugog to-morrow, no one in Oshawa is doing any worrying over the result, as all are confident that the local ball tossers can romp away with either the Greybirds or the Porridge Eaters, in Cobourg on Saturday. One Armed Champ. Pocket Billiard Player in Town Frank Burns,, of Shenandoah, Pa., champion one-armed pocket billard player of the world, is in town for a few hours, and is giving exhibitions of trick shots and a match at Georg Lakas pool room at 7.30 o'clock this evening. Burns last visited Oshawa about two years ago. Burns has about 50 trick shots of which he is a thorough master. He has a high run of 95 balls in continu- ous pocket billiards. Roy Wilson, Local Ball Player, Has Collar Bone Broken Roy ("Buck') Wilson, Bruce St., first baseman of Oshawa's Central Ontario League baseball team lies in the Oshawa General Hospital with a fracture of the right collar bone, sus- tained on Saturday morning shortly after ten o'clock. "Buck," who is a car tester at General Motors, was engaged in driv- ing a Chevrolet chassis near the ship- ping room when the car struck the loading platform. The chassis have no seats and it is necessary to stand on the running board when driving them. "Buck" was in this postion when he saw the crash coming and made a jump to avold being injured. The car was forced back about twenty feet through the force 'of the impact while the driver sustained a broken bone when he jumped. Dr. F. J. Fin- nigan was called to attend the in- jured man and had him removed to the hospital. It is expected that he will be able to leave the institution this week. League Executive Meets To-morrow A meeting of the executive of the Central Ontario Baseball League will be held in Port Hope on Thursday morning, starting at 10 o'clock. The officers of the association will wind up the business of the first half of the schedule and appoint a committee to draw up the schedule for the second half of the season. The financial re- port of the Peterboro-Lindsay game, to be played tomorrow afternoon, will also be presented. This is the re-play of a protested game and the gate receipts are being split three ways, with the League one of the organizations in the money.

Be cause of the agility of the opposing batsmen only one of them got te base on a dead ball off Clancy's of ferings, Graham did the heaving fo: the Press Room nine. His bullet lik« offerings were sufficient to enablc him to last the six innings. That ithe batsmen of both teams hit hard when they did connect was horne ont by the fact that the covers were knocked off half a dozen balls. The Preps Room Office nine had a scare in the fifth, when they put Morris, a pinch hitter, in to solve Clancy's offerings. It is rumored that the Composing Room is protest- ing the game, because of their op- ponents using Hopkins, an imported player. The score by innings was: -- Press Room 151111--10 Composing Room ...411031--10 Batteries: --Graham and Cowan; Fry, Clancy and Rorabeck. Umpire--A. Livesey.

Vokes, and Messrs. T. Wilson, H. Davis, and J. Fry--had arranged for tennis and many interesting singles and doubles were indulged in during the afternoon ad evening. While no new Canadian fecords were estab- lished--the contestants aver this was because of the ground being rough and not through any fault of theirs --some good games were enjoyed. C M. Mundy and A.

Petes Take a Double Header Trim Leaside | 3 Heckman Successfully Does Iron Man Stunt By Winning Both Games When Peterboro romped home with two wins over Leaside in the Lift Lock city on Saturday after- noon, and Lindsay left Cobourg on the same day with another scalp un- der her belt, the scrap for the lead- ership of the Central Ontario League hecame more interesting than ever, Peterboro and Lindsay still have a game to play in Lindsay to- morrow and the winner will then be on even terms with Oshawa. Two thousand basebdll fans saw the games in Peterboro which made the first double header bill ever pre- sented in this circuit, The Petes won the first game handily with the score of 5-1 but in the second Lea- side tightened up and Peterboro only won with a one run margin, the final tally being 3-2. Heckman, the Petes' pitching ace, pulled the iron man stunt of twirling both games, and winning each one, Leaside, on the other hand, used two flingers, Ma- guire ahd Shaw, First game: Leaside ....

"You'd understand--and you might be able to help. I don't as a rule believe in bringing business into the home, but this bothers me. I hate to see a good thing go wrong." "Explain, by all means," Hazel promptly replied. "If I can help, I'll be glad to." "Thank you." Mr. Brooks polish- ed his glasses industriously for a second and replaced them with pains- taking exactitude. "Now--ah--this is the situation: When the company was formed, five of us, including your husband, took up enough stock to fin- ance the preliminary work of the un- dertaking. The remaining stock, seventy-five thousand dollars in amount, was left in the treasury, to be held or put on the market as the situation warranted. With the first clean-up, Bill forwarded facts and figures to show that we had a pro- perty far beyond our greatest ex- pectations. And, of course, we saw at once that the th:ng was ridicu- lously undercapitalized. "So we held a meeting and author- ized the secretary to sell stock. Nat- urally, your husband wasn't cogniz- ant of this move, for the simple rea- son that there was no way of reach- ing him--and his interests were thoroughly protected, anyway. The stock was listed on Change. A good bit was disposed of privately. We now have a large fund in the treas- ury. It's a cinch. We've got the pro- perty, and it's rich enough to pay dividends on a million. The decision of the stockholders is unanimously for enlargement of the capital stock. You understand? You follow me?" "Certainly," Hazel answered. "But what is the difficulty, Bill?" "Bill is opposed to the whole plan," he said, pursing up his lips with evi- dent disapproval of Bill Wagstaff and all his works. "He seems to feel that we should not have taken this step. He declares that no more stock must be sold, that there must be no enlargement of capital. In little one-horse way we started. And that would be a shame. We could make the Free Gold Mining Com- pany the biggest thing on the map, and put ourselves on Easy street." of real regret.

Regiment Are Eliminated By Guelph Team With One Player on Sick List Locals Were Unable to . Hold Own The Taylor-Forbes soccer team of Guelph, earned the right to enter the final for the Ontario District cham- pionship in the competition for the Connaught Cup, when they defeated Oshawa in the Royal City by four goals to none on Saturday afternocn. The 34th Ontario Regiment F.C. left last Saturday morning for Guelph, to play the Taylor Forbes team in the Ontario semi-final for the Connaught Cup. The game whs staged at Exhibition Park, and was called for 5 o'clock, but owing to the field being used by a baseball team, in a game that wa: delayed, the football match did not commence for an hour later. The so)dier boys certainly did not feel in the best of condition, and a short time after the kick-off one of their players was compelled to leave the field hopelessly sick, which left the team severely crippled, and they were forced to play a one-back game. i After twenty minutes of hard fight- ing the Guelph boys put in their first goal, and before half time had scored another three. ' In the second half the Regiment boys, knowing that their chances of scoring were remote, withdrew a for- ward player and played a defensive game, preventing fhe Guelph boys from scoring again, although several attempts were made. Several times the Oshawa boys , broke away, but with a weakened forward line, were unadie to find the net. So Oshawa"s attempt to se- cure a high place in race for the Connaught Cup has come to an end. The Regt. team was: Forwards, R. Telford, F. Williams, W. Dodd, C. Morrison, J. K. Cowan; half backs, C. Kerr, T. Mitchell, H. Edwards; backs, T. Gillett, H. Wood; goal, J. Waugh. Last night Ulster United eliminat- ed the Taylor-Forbes eleven by a score of 3-1 and are expected to meet the Grenadier Guards of Quebec. FINDING MARKETS Adelaide Chronicle: The cheerful doctrine used to be preached that surpluses always find markets, but matters in these days of fierce com- petition do not arrange themselves so simply as that. To safeguard present and future irrigation set- tlers, markets abroad must be as- sured in populous countries. The game in the Church Leagu« between the Christian Church and the A.Y.P.A., which was scheduled for last night, was called off owing to the rain. /The battle will be fought out on Friday night and will be an interesting one as these two aggregations are now tied for the leadership of the league. Park on' Saturday Sport Comment Oshawa Bowlers were represented at the bowling tournament of the Withrow Lawn Bowling Club held in Toronto on Saturday, by Mr, D. A, J. Swanson's rink, The local bow- lers lost their first game in the com- petition for the Mayor Maguire Trophy to Mr. G, Holmes' rink of Withrow. In the consolation series the Oshawa bowlers won their first three games but lost ithe fourth. There were 64 rinks in the tourney and there would have been as many more if there had been enough greens available for play. Mr. Swan- son's rink is composed of:--D, A, J. Swanson, skip; 8. Wood, vice skip; A. Walton, lead and L. Stevenson, second, ---- Oshawa, who up to Saturday led the second division of the T. & D football league, lost to Telfers at Alexandra Park on Saturday after- noon, coming out on the short end of the 5-0 score. As a result of thi: defeat for Oshawa, Cowans and the G.A.U.V. now share the top positior in the second division, The batting and fielding averages of the players in the Central Ontario Baseball League will not be avail- able this week but will possibly he Fready for publication next week, stat- ed Jack Nott, secretary of the league, when speaking to The Reformer, The umpires for tomorrow's game in Lindsay between Péterboro and the Greybirds, will be Rosevear of Port Hope, and McDonald of To- ronto. Due to the Inciemency of the wea- ther last night, the game scheduled in the Town League between Chevro- let and Fittings did not come off, It is probable that this battle will be staged next Monday night, weather permitting. The broken shouider bone which "Buck" Wilson has at present, will no doubt keep him out of Central League baseball for the remainder of the season. "Buck" is a familiar fig- ure all around the circuit, where his stature has attracted much attention to him at first base. Ray Belding no doubt will cover the initial sack from now on.

In eight games played on the home diamond only twelve runs have been scored against the Petes, against thirty-nine scored by them, and every game was won by the locals.

By that he meant that when we live too close to people or events we cannot estimate them at their true value, But time and distance will give the right perspective. By ques- tionable means a man makes what is called a great success, and dazzled by that success his contemporaries shut their eyes to the means hy which the end was obtained. But history, looking at the whole scheme, and seeing the results not only of the end, but also of the means, réal- ize that what at the moment seemed a brilliant success was in reality a colossal failure. In the early months of the year 1812, not only his admirers, but also his enemies were almost unanimous in declaring that Napoleon Buona- parte was the most brilliantly suc- cessful man in history, He had reached the climax of his marvellous career, and the world, hypnotized by the glory of it forgot the nature of the steps by which he had ascended and proclaimed him the child of des- tiny. Before that year was done his gigantic structure of world em- pire had begun to crumble into ruins; and we who live one hundred and ten years later 'realize that his life which then seemed such a transcend- ent success was in reality a ghastly failure. History has passed its judg- ment upon him. A few years before the great war, the students of a great American uni- versity were asked to choose what they thought to be the ideal state of the modern world. By a large majority they selected Germany. Fascinated by her disciplined effic- iency, her warlike preparedness and boastfulness, these sons of a free republic chose as their ideal state the most autocratic empire in the world. Within less than a dozen years their ideal state had flung it- self at the throat of an unsuspecting world, and, met by the indignation and desperation of humanity, was thrown back shattered and broken. Today the enchantment of Germany's superficial brilliance has passed from us, and we know the causes of her downfall. History has passed judg- ment upon her methods. Nowhere has Schiller's words been more completely fulfilled than in his own country. "The world of history is the world of judgment." He would have said the same thing just as truly if he had written: "Tha standard of Christ is the standard of judgments." Search the history of Napoleon, and estimate the causes of his fail- ure.

"To wade through a slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind." Every one was violation of the teachings of Christ, He set at de- flance the standards of Christ, and by the standards of Christ has he been judged. Look at the case of Germany. In spite of her state sup- port of Christianity, and in spite of the kaiser's spurious piety, Germany as a state had practically repudiated the whole teaching of Christ and laughed out of court His altruistic principles. The law of brotherhood had no meaning outside of the Teu- tonic race, The Golden Rule had no application to the affairs of this rough world. By her overweening ambition, by her broken treaties, by her deliberately-planned 'frightful- ness," by the oppression of the rul- ing classes who "ground the faces of the poor," she made mock of the standards of Christ, and by those standards of Christ has she been judged. The "pale Galilean," the "ineffec- tual dreamer of Nazareth," as men have called Him, is the One. with whom every nation, and every in- dividual must eventually reckon and by His standard must every one be judged. Men think that they can avold Him, that they can neglect Him, that they can close the door on Him and be done with Him. They cannot. All history is reiterating that it is impossible. Judas thought when he sold his Master for thirty pieces of silver that Christ's whole mission on earth was a fiasco, a burst bubble, and that he would never meet Him again, Instead Christ was more terribly real to him after that event than before it. Judas still met Him. He met Him in conscience (Continued on page 5) ...REGENT... MON. TUES. & WED.
