week being ellis pringle jack sons point who was fined 100 and costs it seems that some of the boys are going to miss the machines regular players will have no place wherein to drop their surplus in some cases badly needed nickels and the owners and operators are going to be short in revenue however the ban is being en forced and the machine addicts will have to find some use for their nickels other than dropp ing them into a racket that like all rackets gives only a small percentage of what it grabs the barn on the bruce mor ton farm at bloomington ip simply a bear for breaking legs it is recalled since mr mort on fell off a ladder there last week and received a broken limb that this makes the fifth leg which has been broken in this very barn at the time the structure was raised 40 years ago when john dougherty of stouffville had the place there was an accident in which jake burkholder and thos mantle received broken legs these men were in the crowd lifting one of the bents when another timber fell and in the crash burkholder received one broken leg and maiitlc two then as stated last week morton fractured a bone there five years ago which made it leg no 4 and now this final accident brings the count up to five a record wo would estimate for any barn in whitchurch of course theres nothing wrong about the barn but it is an un usual thing that has happened stouffville coasted easily into the second round of the oba intermediate baseball play- downs last wednesday after noon defeating bolton by the score of 102 to take the series in two straight games anderson again

finished the game at bolton a week ago was shown no mercy by the stouffville sluggers allowing ninteen hits the bolton fielders had few errors but the solid pounding of the stouffville batters allowed
