Whether it was the stimula- tion the girls received from drinking tea with the aid of those exquisite silver . services they won at Port Perry on Monday or whether it was the effect of the ginger ale the man- agement handed out in the fourth inning, that gave the girls that eagle tting eye and the Babe Ruth swing it is hard to decide. . However, be that as it may, the girls "were full of pep and pulled off many brilliant fielding features that thrilled the fans and kept them on their toes from start to finish. p Fast Plays The first of the third with the score standing at 4 to 2 in Whitby's fa- vor. two exceptionally clever plays were pulled off. The first occurred wheén McKernon, first batter up for the Marquettes bunted the ball to- wards first. Mary Blow ran up, quick- ly, fielded the ball and threw to Le- na Watson who had covered first, putting the runner out. The second took place almost immediately after running to second on Ferguson's hard when Fisher who had singled, was drive through the pitcher's box. L. Watson cleverly fielded the ball, touched second and quickly threw to M. Blow at first, retiring both run- ners. ¥ : First Home Run In the fourth inning, C. Siblock of the Marquettes made a beautiful home run when she clouted the ball far over centre field, The play was well applauded by the Whitby faus as well as the Oshawa supporters. In the same inning E. Watson made a dandy. catch when she fielded Tyr- rell's drive to left field. To the fans the drive looked like a safe two or three bagger but Effie ran back and neatly gathered it in. That catch was impoptatit ag fherg were two runners on second pk Tases, A be wert | prevented: Ba, Jeciar FP seal . A Ig inning a The Rovers certainly let loose when they wént to bat ih the fourth, ang clouted the ball for ten counfers. It was when the team went to bat that the management handed out the pop and many of the fans credit the re sults to that. The outstanding features were the beautiful drive over left field by Parker which fesulted in an easy homer and Forrester's and Long's dri- ves for two baggers. During the first of the fifth Mary Forrester made the fans look when she. made an excellent catch o1 « foul fly. Too many of the spectators it looked as if it would be a vain attempt but were fooled when Mary neatly gathered it in. A. Ferguson, for the Marquettes made a powerful drive for a two bagger but her team mates failed to bring her homer Parker's catch in the sixth when Farrel. drove the ball over ceritre field, was sensational and brought hearty applause from the fans. Rob- ertson's homer in the same innitg was well received by the local fans. Margquettes Rally The seventh inning the Marquettes with a large score against them ral- lied and scored three runs. C. Sib- lock's drive for a three bagger was the main feature. In the eighth the fans were delight- »d with Lena Watson's catch.

After stopping in Germany at Friedrichshafen, the Graf will visit Tokyo, fly across the Pacific to Los Aneles, and return again to Lakehurst. "The mission of the Graf Zeppe- lin," said Eckener before depart- ing, "is not to mage money--it is to prove that commercial transpor- tation by airships is safe, feasible and potentially profitable." The Zeppelin's removal from this hangar and the launching in- to the air were miracles of motion. Only five minutes were required to walk her 776-foot hulk into the open. Seventeen minutes later she was aloft, four motors in hoarse chorus, and the fifth beneath the stern, silent, against greater need further north, Catch Stowaway Morris Roth, 18, of Trenton, N. J., attempted to stowaway on the Graf Zeppelin before its departure, but was betrayed by his red sweat- er. Guards saw the boy on a catwalk 60 feet above the Zeppelin while the guard was being changed. He was taken to the Naval Air Sta- tion "Brig." German officers were furious at Roth's atempt and they ordered the.entrances to the han- gar closed while they searched the Zeppelin. Threaten To Drain Water .

Skinner, president and treasurer; Fred V. Skinner, secretary and general manager; W. Balfour Mudie, Canadian counsel; Claire La Barnes, Charles Getler, M. B. Eric- son and Fred A, Cornell. : Plans for Oshawa The Skinner Company, Ltd, as has already been made known in the col- umns of The Oshawa Times, has pur- chased a factory site of seven and a half acres on Simcoe street south immediately to the south of the Ce- dardale school, Plans for a large fac- tory to be built on this site have been prepared, and have been accept- ed by the directors of the company. Tenders are now being received for the structural steel to be used in the factory, which will be a one storey building 127 feet wide and 416 feet long, and for the construction of the factory itself, It is expected that construction work will be started in the near future, so that the plant can get mto production some time this fall. ! As the despatch from Montreal in- dicates, the acquisition of the Skin- ner Company, Limited, by. the Houd- aille-Hershey Corporation of Mont- real, will in ho way interfere with the plans for the Oshawa factory. Indeed, it is quite likely that the merger will result in even more am- bitious Plans for this city, For years the Skinner Company, Limited, has been supplying the General Motors of Canada, Limited, with automobile bumpers, and the operation of the plant in Oshawa will mean a great saving in both time and cost in the delivery of these to the local Gen- eral Motors factory.

Telephones--Office, 587; CREAM OF PR BARLEY | CANPING GROUND Extensive Additions to Prop- erty Are Planned For Next Year . (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 8.--Bxten- sive alterations and improvements are planned at the Cream of Bar- ley Camp next year according to a statement made by Mr. J. Lake Morden, President of the John Mac- kay Company, and owner of the property. In an interview with The Times he stated that he expected to, erect at least twenty-five more cot- tages next year. During the last few weeks three fine shelters with tables and seats, each one accom dating about fifty people, have been built., These were put up so that any persons who might be pic- nicking when a rain storm broke, could find shelter under these buildings and without inconveni- ence, continue their meal. They will also be found useful when the sun is very hot and a covering is needed for the kiddies' heads. Very few people really under- stand how much Mr. Morden has done for this community. This fine estate of nearly fifty acres is the private property of Mr. Morden, and he has fitted it out to be one of the finest tourist camps in On- tario and has provided the town of Bowmanville with as fine a park as there is in this vicinity. This camp has also put the town on the map as the following in- stance shows. Last Tuesday even- ing, a car bearing a Pennsylvania license drew into the curb at the post office and one of its occupants enquired the name of this town: On being told it was Bowmanville, he remarked: "Oh, this is the town where the Cream of Barley Camp is" and asked to. be directed to it. When interviewing Mr. Mor- den, The Times found him very en- thusiastic about his fine camp, but too modest to tell of the huge am- ount of money that he has spent to bring his fine collection of animals and birds here and to provide an the first class amusements which he has, and which bring so much joy and pleasure to the little folk. VALUE OF POLICE BELL ON STREET 15 POINTER OUT Would Enable Quicker Ac- tion in Case Services Required (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 8.--At the August meeting of the town coun- cil held Tuesday night, a great deal of 'discussion took place over the placing of a police bell at the cor- ner of Temperance and King Sts. The matter was finally placed in the hands of the police committee with power to act. The importance of the placing of this bell was pointed out last week shortly after the theft at the home of Mr. Du- mas. He tried to get in touch with the night constables. As neither of them was in the station the bell on the telephone did not attract any attention. Mr, Dumas finally had to call the chief at his home, In other centres, there is placed in a central part.of the town a tele- phone connected : with the office telephone and a large bell. When the telephone in the office rings, the bell in the street rings and the con- stables hearing it can answer the call at the street telephone. If, however, a constable is In the sta- tion, it is possible for the exten- sion to be cut off. Thus a great deal of trouble and inconvenience can be saved by the placement of the bell. Last week the police would have been notified = much sooner about the theft at Mr. Dumas' home, and would have been able to wors on the case much more quickly.
