The Allandale rink scored first, but Oshawa came back strong and tied it up on the seventh end. Goin_-.7 into the tenth end Walker was four up. When the skips went down `to bowl Oshawa had two shots well Any made Oshawa lay three. With his last bowl Young drew another shot and evened the county. The next 'end was even more thrilling. Oshawa had three less than a foot away when Harry Tideman, Walkcr s vice, drew right up to the cat for a sot which survived three attempts to run it 011'. The nal end was re- markable. First one side and then 'the other lay shot. Tideman again `guarded. Walker s first shot failed. by inches to draw in for second. gYoun;;,"s bowl failed to change tlze situation.

HOME BOY LEAVES INNISFIL FARMERE Fearing that he would be soundly thrashed for having: broken a plough, Rupert Taylor, sixteen-year-ol home` boy employed on Arthur Hubbard sl farme near Holly, ran off to Toron-. to last week and there told of hav- ing been badly abused and thrashed. The boy s story was so patlzetic that Toronto newspapers intimated that] police action would be taken ag`ainst| Hubbard for zissuult. As yet nothingi has been done. i A\~1'l`\nI- Ivlnhlmwl rlr-nit: :ll`l()llll .(`lVl has heen done. i Arthur Hubbard denies absolutel_v= that he ever touched the boy. ln :1 conversation with his father, James` Hubbard, of Allzindale, on Saturday. he declared that he had never laid hands on Taylor. According: to To- ronto roports, the lad bore marks of` having been severely punished and his clothes were rag`,2`e(l and tattered. Arthur Hubbard obtained the boy ,- from his brother Edwin last Janu-. ar_\'. lidwin had secured him from the Marchmont Home at Bellevillv. `The situation is unusual. Neigh- bors in the vicinity of Hubburd s farm on the thirteenth concession of Innisl, speak highly of Hubbard and of the boy.
