OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 SPORTING NEWS| Double Header Today Ought to Settle Winner C.0.B.L. Champs. Will Be Ready for Hillcrests Week After Next The double bill at Cobourg to- day between Belleville and Leaside will undoubtedly decide the cham- pionship of the second section of the Central League, it seems impos- sible for Leaside to trim Belleville twice in one afternoon although it has been stated frequently that the Queen City suburbanites have shown more inside baseball than other teams in the league. George Pea- cock, former pilot of the Oshawa Braves, while not actually the man- ager of the Athletics, has greatly as- sisted the team to a place among the first division clubs. At Cobourg last Wednesday an attempt was made to get the first game started early but after three innings had been played rain checked the proceedings. However, it was stated that those three innings pro- vided some of the snappiest ball seén in the Central loop this year, and taking into consideration the Peacocks' recent victories over Pet- erboro and Oshawa, Belleville can afford to take no chances. If the Trunks should capture . the first game, it is doubtful if the second fixture will be played. The two games should attract quite a numb- er of fans from other towns and it is likely a large delegation will he present from Belleville and Lea- side. It Belleville is successful in win- ning one game, the first game of the play-off will probably be staged in Belleville Wednesday afternoon with the return game in Peterboro a week from to-day, The C.0.B.L,, executive have stopped figuring out dates for the play-off owing to sev- eral upsets occurring during the last couple of weeks. If the second half title is decided to-day, the Cen- tral League pennant winners will be ready for Hillcrests the week after next. Hillcrests play Sudbury in the first round of the Ontario amateur baseball championship. The Tor- onto champions are in Sudbury to- day and play the Northerners In Toronto on September 23. Hill- crests are none too delighted over the arrangements, as they fear the gate receipts will be far lower than the expenses. Each club must guarantee the other's expenses, and as there will be some counter-attrac- tions here a week from Saturday, the fans may not be numerous when Sudbury trots out. Caddies Will Compete Next Week The big event of the year for caddies of the Oshawa Golf Club will take place on the local course a week from to-day when about forty of them will compete for prizes to be donated by members of the Club. Prizes valued at $50 will be award- ed. Mr. Robert Henderson has charge of the competition and all caddies wishing to enter should see him at once, otherwise they may be dis- qualified.. All contestants must be bona fide caddies. This is a fine opportunity for budding *'Chick" Evans', Oue Mets and Gene Sara- zens. The future of Canada's greatness in golf rests in the hands of these caddies because it is by learning when young that a golfer cultivates the fine points of the game, such as swing and poise which will be invaluable to him in later years. . To-day the first eighteen holes in the championship games for the R. 8. Mclaughlin Cup are being played and the second eighteen holes will be played next week. Quite a number of players have qualified, greater interest than ever before being centred in this event. MODERN (Farm Life) Neighbor--Why do you look so tired and sleepy, Millicent? Little Millicent--Oh that new baby at our house--he broadcasted the whole night long! Football Club A fitting slimax to Oshawa fair was the dance held in the armories Wed- nesday evening under the auspices of the Regiment Football Club. Mr, H. E. Green, who superintended 4ll arrangements, overlooked nothing in order to make it the most successful ever seen in the spacious hall, al- though many such events have tak- en place there previously, The building was. gaily decorated with flags' and bunting, while much time had been spent on the floor. A re- freshment counter was conducted by members of the club, where soft drinks could be obtained. The ef- forts of the committee were reward- ed by a liberal patronage and the music supplied by the Venetian Ser- enaders, of Toronto, composed of six pleces, left nothing to be desired by those present. The event was a financial success and the committee are greatly pleased with the results of their enterprise. Dancing was in progress from 8.30 until 1.30, Close Inter-Church League With Banquet A fitting close for the Inter-Church Baseball League season has been planned for next Friday evening when all players and officials are in- vited to attend a banquet which will be hed in the gymnasium in the Y. M.C.A. at 6.45. The Ladigs' Auxil- fary of the South Oshawa Methodist Church will have charge of the ban- quet while Me, Frank Chester, Hon- orary President of the league, will preside. The pennant will be pre- sented to the champions and an in- teresting program will be given. Rev. E, T. Cotten, pastor of the Christian Church, will be the speak- er of the evening. The past season has been a most successful one, de- spite the fact that this was its first year byt by every team taking Whu- sual interest in its progress, it has completed the schedule and many ex- citing games have been enjoyed. Much credit is due to Mr. W. A. Har- rold, Boys' Work Director of the Y. M.C.A., who ig president of the or- ganization, for his untriing efforts in getting the boys of the Sunday School interested in baseball, Curlers Away To Good Start To Secure Funds Oshawa curlers are away to a grand start in their new undertak- ing of securing funds for the pur- pose of erecting an up-to-date curl- ing rink on the site recently donated by Mr. R. 8. McLaughlin. The an- nouncement made by Dr. T. E. Kaiser at the special meeting of the Club last week that Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Cowan had promised to don- ate the sum of $1,000 towards the enterprise was enthusiastically re- ceived by the curlers and every one interes'ed in this popular and an- cient game, greatly appreciate such generous assistance, The committees in rangements are making good pro- gress. The stock subscription lists have been opened and quite a num- ber of shares disposed of. Applica- tion has been made for a charter for the company which will be known as "The Oshawa Curlers Limited." When all preliminary details have been completed every curler will play a prominent part in securing subscribers. With the list headed with a magnificient donation such as made by Mr. and Mrs. Cowan, the curlers feel that the success of the project is assured. Dr. Kaiser, af- ter making that announcement, al- so stated his intention of taking shares to the value of $500 while others have intimated their inten- tion of taking a reasonable amount. When the campaign is launched in earnest, there should be quite a number ready to support the curl- ers as their object is to erect a curling rink in Oshawa of which the citizens of the town will be proud and which will be equal to any in the province. charge of ar- BRITISH JUSTICE (Hamilton Spectator) A sample of even-handed British justice was seen in England recent- ly, when the great Lord Curzon was fined for having firearms in his pos- session without a permit.

The people, where- ever we went, were characterized by the most progressive spirit and eag- erness to surround themselves with the comforts of modern. life," stated Miss E. M. Holmes, principal of the Centre Street Public school, who has just returned from a tour of that heritage of Old Ontario--Northern Ontario. Miss Holmes was one of the 170 school Teachers of this part of Ontario who, during the latter part of August, spent a week in New Ontario, travelling in a special train of six pullman cars, which visited all points on the circuit formed by Sudbury, Sault Ste, Marie, Hearst, Cochrane and North Bay. The tour included visits to the largest nickel mines in the world, the biggest gold mines on the face of the earth, the greatest paper mill in the British Empire and the "Great Clay Belt," an agricultural area that is unsurpassed in this province. Perhaps the most interesting feat- ure of the trip, however, was the twelve mile ride in flat cars on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway from Cochrane to the first crossing on the Abitibi River. The Ontario Government is at present engaged In building a 70 mile ex- tension of this railway from Coch- rane north to Oil Can Portage, and about fourteen miles of rails have been laid this summer, the end of steel at present being at the first crossing of the Abitibi River, from which the Provincial Government estimates 500,000 horse power can be developed within ten miles of the first crossing. The flat cars were all gaily decorated with evergreen boughs and made up the first pass- senger train that has yet run north out of Cochrane, Miss Holmes, commenting on this feature of her trip stated that "along the route we| noticed good crops of potatoes, oats and hay." Impressed By Vastness The party, Miss Holmes, remark- ed, was mostly impressed by the] vastness and diversity of the North- land. New Ontario is 140,000 square miles in extent or more than 20,000 square miles larger than the British Isles. "It is a land of far stretching forests, innumerable lakes and countless streams, a land of mineral wealth, especially nickel, silver and gold, and perhaps above all, a land whose agricultural possi- bilities are unsurpassed." was the glowing praise Miss Holmes had for this vast area of Ontario. | Commenting on 'the educational gide of that portion of the province, as she noticed it, Miss Holmes point- | ed out that in spite of the unsettled | condition of a large part of New Ontario, education has heen given| great attention. The touring teach- ers during their trip visited schools in some of the northern towns and were surprised to find equipment sec- ond to none in the province. "The Hudson Consolidated School near New Liskeard was visited and we| were assured during our inspection of it that it is a success," reported] Miss Holmes. Brilliant Northern Lights On the return journey to Coch- | rane the school workers saw the Northern Lights in all their brilli- ancy. None of the passengers had | ever seen such a splendid exhibition | of these lights--rainbow colored, | waving to and fro across the north- | ern sky. | Other experiences which they will not soon forget, were the] they | visits to the Hollinger and MaclIn- tyre Gold Mines at Timmins, the nickel mines at Creighton, near Sud- | bury, and the silver mines at Co-| balt. "We were taken down 1,376 feet in the gold mines and saw in use the | latest mining devices, Before we] went to the mines we were shown | moving pictures at the local theatre | of the interior of these shafts and | drifts. - | Each party of six was supplied | with a guide and miners' lamps. | Eight hundred thousand tons of ore! is the monthly output, The men | work day and night on eight hour shifts, It takes one ton of ore to produce a half ounce of gold," stat-| ed Miss Holmes. The nickel mine at Creighton had not been in operation for over a year but work will soon commence | again, There was much more nickel | used during the war than at pre- sent and when the war ended there | was enough ore up to keep the] smelting plant going for months, | Here the teachers were taken down | 2200 feet at the rate of 1500 feet in a minute, The tourists then went by train to Coniston to the smelting plant and watched the processes through which the ore goes hefore it becomes nickel, Through the courtesy of the Mond Nickel Company each. teacher was presented with a souvenir in the form of a box containing a piece of crude ore, nickel shot and the new Canadian nickel coin. Given Samples They were also given samples of silver and cobalt at the Coniagas mine at Cobalt. The Temiskaming Motor League provided cars for the whole party at Cobalt and New Liskeard and they spent several | hours viewing the splendid farms of the 'Great Clay Belt" which con- tains 16,000,000 acres. There, flowers, vegetables and grain grow as well as anywhere in old Ontario. At Iroquois Falls, the home of the Abitibi Power and Paper Co., the party saw the largest newsprint | mill on the continent. It has seven paper machines, two of them the largest in the world, all running twenty-four hours a day. The two large machines make a sheet of paper 221 inches wide at a rate of 700 feet per minute; 650 cords of wood are used a day. In 1914 the site of Iroquois Falls was a virgin forest. Today every house has elec- tric light, running water and all | city conveniences. The last day of the trip was spent on Lake Timaga- | mi which contains 1600 beautiful islands, There the teachers visited | Bear Island where there is a Hud- son's Bay Trading Post, these grim reminders of the early history of the northland only serving to show the rapid strides the great hinter- | land of this province has taken in recent years--the contrast hetween forbidding forts .and smoking chim- neys, old canoe routes and govern- | ment owned railways, cut over for- est areas and waving fields 6f grain, giving unmistakable evidence of the era of advancement and prosperity that New Ontario has just enter- ed. Home of Alan A. Ryam, who failed for some thirty odd million dollars on Wall Street the other day, has been burglarized. It was a most un- professional thing to do, that's all we have to say about it.-- Toronto Sporting Paragraphs | | Saturday afternoon the winner of the second series of the Inter-Church Baseball League will be decided when the Christian Church team will clash with the Y.M.C.A. Thurs- day evening the Christians met and defeated South Oshawa for the right to meet Y.M.C.A., the score being 4 to 1. Elliott twirled for the win- ners while Kelly pitched for South Oshawa. A.Y.P.A. captured the first series so that the winner of Satur- day's contest will meet the Anglicans for the championship. NEW MARTIN Saturday, Sept. 23rd FASCINATING GIRLS!

Dietitians have been studying nu- tritive food values extensively with- in the past few years and with start- ling unanimity have settled upon | bran as one of a few very necessary ingredients, which should go upon the table daily. They have found it invaluable for its beneficial effects, and desireabls because of its cheap- nes and implicity of preparation. The digestion, medical science has found, is given in false and artificial stimulus by the cathartic drug, and its use is generally regarded as an important factor in the alarming death rate. Physicians are prescrib- ing diet lists instead of laxatives, and bran is always included in these lists, Chemical analysis of bran has shown it to centain ahout eight per cent. of mineral salts, and also small percentages of phosphorus and cal- cium. Of these, mineral salts is a particularly valuable ingredient, and physicians state that there is no danger of there being too great a supply of the latter elements in the diet, Medical consideration of the pres- cription of bran has followed not { only the substitution for cathartics, but has reasoned also that the hu- man system is a finely wrought mechanism which functions with greater efficiency when not requir- ing laxatives and that a regular diet, including bran, fruts, and other cellulose contaning foods does away with the necessity of artificial timu- | lation for catharsis. Commercial Vehicles Must Show Weight Licensed to Carry All those persons in the province who act as issuers of motor vehicle licenses, have heen advised by Mr. J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Ve- hicles, Department of Public High- ways, Toronto, that all commercial vehicles shall have printed or painted on both sides of the hody of the vehicle in a clearly visible position, the weight of the load for which the permit was issued, such | weight to be stated in tons or frac- tion thereof and to be preceded by the words 'maximum load," the letters and figures to be not Iss than one and one-half inches in height, according to the amendment to the Load of Vehicles Act which came into effect on the 1. of August, 1922 Mr. Bickell states that the De- under . consideration into effect the 12th of August, 1922, the distribution of standard load plates with the 1923 permits, but in the meantime the Act is in force and owners of commercial vehicles should comply with the provision requiring them to paint this infor- mation on their vehicles. the saddest plight imagine these days is to blowout and a minister riding the car.--Simcoe Reformer.
