THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1931 PAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 FRONT 5T. WINS FIRST PLAYOFF Defeated High School Boys by Narrow Margin of 9 Runs to 7 Forging ahead after being four runs behind, Front Street took the first game of a three game playoff series from the High School last night by a score of 9 to 7. As the score indicates the game was ex- ceptionally close and until the final frame the result was always in doubt. Darkness spoiled the game to some degree and it would be well if the games got started on time in the future instead of 15 minutes late. The playoff sesies is only five innings per game and then it is nearly dark when it gets through. Front Street being the winners of the first schedule need just one more win to win the second sche- dule and the league championship Should the High School, however, win the next two games a further series for the ¢hampionship will be | necessitated. batted first last night and Jamieson came home closely followed by James for a home run. Colmer pitching for the scholars was right on and struck two men out in this innings. Ted Bagnell, batting first for the stu- dents got out and Harold Slemon hit a two base swat. Colmer was out, Williams took a walk and Bill Bagnell struck out before anyone could make the diamond. In the second frame Front Street failed to add to their lead and when the High School batted they went through for six runs after Osborne walked two men straight. Smith then took the box and walked his first man and then he started to pitch and struck out twb. With a four run lead High Sch got little too excited and many errors followed in the next frame with the result that the Front Street took a six run innings with five straight runs with only one man out. This gave them a lead of two runs which was reduced in 'the fourth frame to one when Don Williams came home after being walked. The scholars held the score at. 8 to 7 until the final frame when Hall came home to makz the Front Street score 9 and then Smith, in Front Street the semi darkness struck out three men running for the High School. The next game is on Thursday night and as it will be the deciding game of the year, and on it will rest whether there will be any more softball or not, there should be a great crowd out to see the fun. The line ups last night were: Front Street--Osborne and Smith, P, Hooper, C; Jamieson, 1st b; Cole and Osborne, 2b; James, 3b; Hall, ss; Candler, rf; Bates, cf; Culley, f If. » High School--Colmer, P; Adams, C; Richards, 1b; Slemon, 2b; Mut- ton, 3b; E.

WESTERN LIMITS Bowmanville Citizens will Vote Again on Hydro Purchase The construction of a new $100,- 000 subway to replace the present overhead bridge at the western limits of the town of Bowmanville will be urged when a delegation from the Town Council interview the Prime Minister and the Minis- ter of Highways in the near future it was decided at last night's ses- sion of the council. 'Mayor Elliott, Reeve W. H. Carruthers, Council- lor W, R. Strike and Councillor T. H. Lockhart were appointed the delegation to go to Toronto. The work on this bridge is of such a nature that Mayor Elliott is of the opinion that possibly all married men in the town who have regis- tered as unemployed would find work on the project, Plans for the work have been drawn up on sev- eral occasions and the set calling for the erection of a subway under the tracks is considered those most likely to be followed. Another item of discussion of importance at last night's meeting was the purchase of the local hydro distribution plant and a special meeting will be called for Monday next to pass or discuss the by- laws. * The vote will be taken in Octob The purchase price was given by Councillog Strike as $71,000 which is the same as the plant was offered at last year. Pro- fits for the year ending December 31, 1930, showed $20,093 and citizens of Bowmanville are just that much out by defeating the purchase last year. Mayor Elliott stated last night that the only way a reduction of rates will be possible in the town is by the purchase of the plant and he strongly urged this step. Many citizens he added who voted against the project last fall are now willing to vote for it and he believed that if the facts were placed fairly and squarely before the property own- ers there would be no defeat of the by-law this year. Other business at the_meeting in- cluded a claim from John Lumb against the council for $40 for dam- ages to property from floods in the spring. This matter was referred to the Roads and Streets Committee to investigate. Notification was received fy the council of the release from claim from the Merril Barber Supply Company for damages when their truck was damaged and its contents ruined when the truck struck an indentation in the highway some time ago. The Globe Indemnity Company, with. whom the town is insured took care of the matter. Councillor Strike presented a re- port with expenditures for $890.73 and recommended payment. The report was adopted. The matter concerning Magistrate Ward is apparently not over and Councillor Strike reported that. the finance committee had met the in- spector 'from the Attorney Gen- eral's Department and that a fuller report was coming from this de- partment. Permission was granted to Mr. A G. Adams to, conduct a business known as the Canada Metal Work- ers on his property on Concession Street. Councillor Lockhart's report of the unemployment situation showed 207 out of work, 120 of these mar- ried and 87 single. VISION & COMFORT Eyesight Service C. H. TUCR, Opt. D.

After Business Hours--Phone 359, REPRESENTATIVE--~JAMES H. ORMISTON DAILY TIMES news will be received at the START WORK THI WEEK IN WHITBY ON GAS MAINS Contractors Outline Plans of Construction to Town Council Plans for the carrying on of gas main construction work in Whitby by the Ontario Shore Gas Company, were outlined by a rep- resentative of the contractors, the Folwell Construction Com- pany, to the Town Council on Tuesday evening, The construc- tion company sent their man to Whitby with a view to arriving at a_ complete understanding with the Council on various con- struction details, and Council was much impressed with the very fair and frank manner in which these were presented. Some ob- stacles encountered in Bowman- ville were made known to the Council, and ways and means dis- cussed by which there would be no repitition here, but on the contrary the carrying out of the company's programme in a man- ner satisfactory to the Council and all concerned. Three important facts given to Council were that work will start this week; that with the exception of about twelve skilled men from outside points essen- tial to the company in securing first class work only Whitby labor will be engaged, the men to be furnished by a special com- mittee of the Council, and that in a short time, when the work is well organized, as many as | eighty men will be employed. It was further stressed that the work will be done by hand labor, no ditching machine being used, and that every care will be taken to safeguard the town's water and sewer mains, with breakages, if any, made good by the company. For piece work the company will pay six cents per foot, the same as in Oshawa, and for other than piece work 35¢ an hour, with the exception of foremen, who will be paid 40c and 45c. Local teams and trucks will be employed, and the work, it is expected, will be completed within two months. Construction of the mains on the Kingston Highway between Whit- by and Oshawa will begin at Whitby and end at Oshawa, when the hook up with the plant in Oshawa will be made. All men to be engaged on the job must have slips of identifica- tion furnished by the special Council Committee, otherwise they cannot be taken on. The company desires to employ mar- ried men with families as far as possible, and in order to avoid trouble . encountered in other places has asked the Council to furnish the men. Foremen to be employed are to be local men if they are avail- able. The same rule applies to the night watchman, The com- pany has opéned a construction office in Whitby. The contractors doing the back filling have promised that only local labor and teams will be em- ployed. Council asked numerous ques- tions regarding the work and received very satisfactory answePs, Council's co-operation in carrying out the work satis- factory to all concerned was pledged. SEEK REMOVAL OLD BOATS FROM WHITBY HARBOR Council Sends Resolution to the Minister of Marine A resolution passed unani molusly by the Town Council on Tuesday evening petitioned the minister of marine and fisheries at Ottawa to order the Russell Construction Company, of Toron- to, to have removed three dere- lict barges which were placed in Whitby harbor about four years ago, constituting an eyesore and a menace to navigation. This question has been before the Chamber of Commerce on sev- eral occasions, and a few weeks ago while in Ottawa Mayor C. E. Bowman took it up with the deputy minister of marine and fisheries, who iftimafed that if a resolution was forwarded by the Council asking for the re- mova] of the boats, some action might be taken by the depart- ment, The resolution passed by Coun- cil, which was moved by Coun. J. 'H. Ormiston, and seconded by Coun. Fred Landon, is as follows: "That this Council respectfully calls the attention of the honor- able the minister of marine and fisheries to the nuisance created at Port Whitby harbor by the dumping of three derelict barges by the Russell Construction Com- pany of Toronto, and would ask the honorable the minister to notify the company to have same removed at once. This Council wishes to call the minister's at- tention to the fact that these barges have been in the harbor for several years, constituting in Council's opinion a menace to navigation as well as a grave eye- sore." The clerk was instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to the minister of marine at Ot- tawa, COUNCIL MEETING IN EAST WHITBY Routine Business Only Oc- cupied Attention of Council Meeting A large number of accounts were passed and ordered to be paid at the regular meeting of the East Whitby township coun- ¢il held at Columbus, Saturday.

The group singing contest, for which there was a large number of contest- ants, was won by a quartette frem school section No. 1, and the intermediate class. ° The singers were: Cecil Cook, Bruce Ferguson, Joyce Powell and Ed- die Sanders, These rural school fairs al- ways* attract large numbers of the parents and friends of the children who have entered in the different contests. Although ves- terday's fair was considered very successful, it was not as largely attended nor were the entries so numerous as in other years. It is thought that this was on account of the earliness of the season. Other years the fair has not been held until later in September. Since the final decision of the' judges has not yet been given the pupils are eagerly awaiting to gee which school shall be ac- claimed the best in South On- tario. Thornton's Corners' School has held this honor for a number of previous years. ANNUAL OSHAWA FAIR NEXT WEEK (Continued from page 1) features and horse racing will again be one of the main drawing cards. On Wednesday and Thurs- day afternoons there will be four fast classes of horse races, two each afternoon. Some of the best pacers and trotters in the coun- try will be competing for the large purses which are offered. Music and Entertainment Splendid music will be provid- ed by bands both afternoon and evening and the big midway will be a source of infinite amuse- ment. Sims Greater Shows are to ba here with f*e rides and six shows, the rides including the merry-go-round, merry mixup, ferris wheel, aerial swings and whip.

This revue includes the noted 'Great akes All Girls' Orchestra," beautiful girls, funny comedians, good singing and dancing and will give a change of program each night, PARKS BOARD T0 EXTEND WALL AT LAKEVIEW PARK ] Ll 1 (Continued from page 1) work for a large number." "We hate to increase the de- benture debt but no doubt the city council is algo in the same posi- tion," E, Bradley stated. "Work of some kind must be provided for the unemployed. But I do not think that the parks board should undertake construction of this retaining wall if the govern- ment grant will not make up the excess cost which the employment of relief labor will cause." While favoring measures for the relief of unemployment, W, A. Coad, also a member of the board, pointed out that even an annual payment of $500 would set a sev- ere limit on the hoard in its fu- ture financing 8. Carnell favored the construe. tion of the retaining wall but he did not think that it would be pos- sible for the parks board to com- plete the work at the estimated annual cost, The extension of the present wall would greatly improve the appearance of the waterfront, he considered. Urged by Mayor Marks of the necessity of providing work for the unemployed, the commission finally decided to go ahead with the undertaking, subject to the conditions outlined previously, WOMEN GOLFERS IN MATCH FOR TITLE The Oshawa Golf Club was the centre of interest yesterday after- noon with the commencement of play: for the.
