B. A. senior championship in two seasons. * * * The Nationals would have had a sell-out crowd last Saturday, had the weather remained fine. So unfavor- able was the weather, however. that officials of the club wisely decided to call off the game. After some delay, the O.B.A. decided that the game should be played tomorrow at WNa- tional Stadium, at 2:45 p.m. he, le It is expected that Schoolmaster Earl Craig and Jake Biddle will be the moundsmen. As far as the Na- tionals are concerned, it certainly will be Craig. The Schoolmaster has been waiting anxiously for this chance to pitch against his former mate, Jake Biddle. * * * Should the Aces win tomorrow's game, a fifth game will be necessary, and the O.B.A. likely will order it be played immediately. However, the Nationals are not worrying about a fifth game. All they ask is fine wea- ther tomorrow, and they feel that the championship series will be over. * * * With baseball still on the program, Dave Pinkney's M-O hockey team will commence practices at Galt on Satur- day 'night, from six to seven. The work-outs will continue during the following week. So great is the de- mand for practice hours at Galt that COME TO THE... New Royal Ballroom 42 WELLINGTON STREET (Over Dominion Store - DON HOPKINS ST. THOMAS "Sweet Sway... Your Favorite Way"' SATURDAY NIGHT JITNEY DANCING ADMISSION 10c OCTOBER 21st The New Royal Ballroom has been completely remodelled and is really a smart place to dance! Mr. Pinkney has had. difficulty in getting ice for his team to practice. Dave has been busy during the past couple of weeks, lining up prospects for his club. : * * * The announcement, during the week, that Kist Canada Ltd would provide the uniforms for the team, was welcomed by sports fans in the city. They appreciate the interest which this firm has in sports in the city, and realize that the firm's back- ing cannot help be beneficial. The team, will wear a new style of uni- form this season. Those who have seen the design declare that Strat- ford's team will be the best-dressed in the league. cate * The C.N.R. soccer team received rather a rude surprise last Saturday, when the Tavistock Greens took a 2-0 decision, right at National Stad- ium, to eliminate the Nats from the W. F. A. semi-finals. Previously, the locals had taken a 1-40 victory in Tav- istock. The Tavistock team will now journey to Bognor for the W. F. A. finals. * * Eo The collegiate Wossa junior team is the only rugby team which is getting much action locally. Inability to get a grouping has been a bitter disap- pointment to the intermediate team. For the same reason, the Wossa sen- ior team has been idle. The Wossa seniors did have a_ grouping with travelling expenses. Stratford has drawn a bye into the play-downs. a ea To date, it appears that the junior team is in a stiff group. It seems rather certain that the St. Thomas Collegiate team is the squad to beat. While the outlook is not too hopeful for the locals, there is at least a chance, in that Woodstock Red Devils, who usually finish on top, seem doomed to defeat this season. ae ee Carl White, well-known former res- ident of this city, has returned to New Jersey, where he will operate a hockey club this winter. Mr. Whyte visited in the city after returning from Nor- thern Ontario, where he looked over' hockey players at the camp of the New York Americans.

Well Known Citizen Tells of New Y ork Sights Editor. of The Mirror: Much has been written about New York, much more will be written, but when in this greatest American city, I always feel I am in a city of many extremes. As you enter New York by way of Pennsylvania Station, you enter un- derground, then as you leave the train, escalaters will take you up to the concourse, electric eye self-open- ing doors admit you to the waiting rooms, more escalaters will take you to the street level. We are now in New York and will start to go places. We go down in subways. You go in some subways to get on the elevated; some places you go on the elevated to go down in the subways. This city claims the largest church on the continent. The largest ships in the world enter this port in America only. This city also has the highest building in the world. From aé_é skyscraper over ninety stories high I can see a well laid out city surrounded by three rivers, the avenues run North and South. The streets east and west, but Broadway is crooked and angles its way across the city. The story is that the Great White Way was one time a county road that led down to the Dutch founded city of New Amsterdam which was all below Wall Street, there was a wall across the Island at that point for protection against Indians. _ From where I am standing I can see Ellis Island out in the bay. The greatest emigration gateway in com- merce. Thousands of people from oth- er lands have entered there, to be examined before starting a new life, & new hope in a new world. --G. E. §. NEAL -- JESTIN The marriage has been announced of Justina Jestin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George R.
