The baseball season is not over yet. Tomorrow, at National Stadium, Stratford Nationals will play Dundas in an exhibition game. The game should be a good one. In Dundas last week Stratford defeated the home 2-0, behind good pitching by Bob Car- rick, the hurler who came down from Clinton during the summer, and who was barred from playing by the On- tario Baseball Amateur Association. Carrick will pitch in tomorrow's game. He had ten strike-outs in Dundas. « * * While exhibition games often are listless affairs, tomorrow's game is likely to prove an_ interesting one. Last week's game in Dundas was one of the best seen in the valley town this year, and some good ball has been played there, because Dundas is in the Hamilton and District League. The same team will be here tomorrow, anxious to even the count in the two- game series. = * * Those who were fortunate enough to be among the two thousand or more who saw the harness horse races at Stratford's Fall Fair on Wednesday were witnesses of a record-breaking performance by Merry Maid, a west- ern mare, in her last. effort for her old owners, Jackson Bros. and Harvie, of Calgary. Merry Maid was sold for $500 following the races. Her time for the mile was 2.07%, which was one-half second better than the pre- vious record, which was established by Lenore Clench, a Tillsonburg mare, five years ago. * bd * Merry Maid was bought by Dr. W. N. Meldrum, the Norwich physician, who is rapidly becoming one of the foremost figures in the harness racing game in Ontario. Dr. Meldrum has a large stable. One of his top perform- ers is Sir Esme, who set a new track record at Toronto Exhibition. Sir Esme raced here on Wednesday, but the best he could do was third money, behind Better Times, winner of the Canadian Pacing Derby, and W. J. Booth's Grattan Axworthy. es. + Mave Pinkney acquired a_ full brother of Merry Maid, when he bought Merrymaker at the auction of _ the Calgary stable's horses and equip- , ment. Merrymaker has a record of| 2.12%, and is highly regarded by W.' W. Fleming, the veteran Western driver, who had charge of the Jack- son Bros. and Harvie stables here. Merry Mitzi, dam of both Merry Maid and Merrymaker, was bought by Alvin Koch of Stratford. * - * W. J. Thurston's horses were prom- Keno! Keno!

In Glen Arden, an Irish jumper, Mr. Thurston has a horse which will be outstanding in any show. The Thurston horses copped most of the firsts in the hunter and saddle classes. A new owner in the saddle classes was Bob McCully, whose colt took second prize in the British Mortgage and Trust Corporation's special. Mr. Thurston's entry took first. *% * * And next wéek it will be the world series. Got your radio license paid yet? The annual classic will get under way on Wednesday at the Polo Grounds, home park of the New York Giants. After two games the-scene will shift to Yankee Stadium, stamp- ing grounds of Joe McCarthy's mighty Yankees. Three games will be played at the Stadium. Should further games be necessary, they will be played at the Polo Grounds. * * *« Because of their tremendous power at bat,-the Yankees will be hot favor- ites to win the world's championship. The Giants, under Bill Terry, will pin their hopes mainly on their great pitcher, Carl Hubbell, formerly of the Toronto Leafs. Hubbell likely will pitch the opener. Should 'the Yanks defeat him in the opener, they would have the series battle more than half won. es os Wall of Water Stems Advance Dam Gates Opened in Effort to Halt Rebel March on Madrid MADRID, Sept. 25. -- A 10-foot wall of water, released from AlI- berche Dam by Government forces, roared down late yesterday on a column of Fascists advancing on Madrid and swept many of them to their deaths, it was reported here. The flood, sweeping down from the lifted dam gates near San Martin de Valdeiglesias, about 36 miles west of the capital, inun- dated a Fascist camp to a depth of 10 feet. The Government resorted to the desperate measure in an attempt to repel one section of the Fas- cists' drive on the capital. Most of the insurgents' ammuni- tion was reported ruined, and many of their pack mules were said to have been drowned. The Fascists who escaped were understood to have fled to higher groun dto the south. They were reported retreating in disorder. Government officials, deciding to let loose the flood after steel and gunpowder had failed to stem the Fascists' advance on the capital, said 10,000,000 cubic yards of water were released. Virtually all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 were draftd to the militia, meanwhile, as the government sent reinforce- ments to block the advance of Moorish troops toward Toledo. Evidently well aware of the urgency of stopping the insurgent attack at Toledo, the government launched a dounter-offensive from Santa Cruz del Retamar which was reported to have swept the Moors back through Quismondo to Maqueda. Feanwhile General Julio Man- gada's forces attempted to drive west on the Talavela-Madrid high- wya behind the Fascists and at- tack them from the rear.
