B---------- A c------------ A PAGE EIGHT THE. OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, - . -- WILLIAMS PIANO ANNUAL GATHERING (Continued from page 1) tloik on a Williams Player piano, "Danny Boy" was the num- ber, and Mr. Carlyle, with a group of volunteer singers, presented that number as ope of the gems of the evening. Incidentally it was an- nounced by the chairman that Will- jams pianos and players were being shipped to China, India, South Am- erica, Africa and many other coun- tries, A recent letter from China where the German player pianos have been favorites, informed the company here that Williams' player has been found to be better looking of simpler construction, better ac- tion and better sounding than the German product. Of the dozen dances on the pro- gram, four were the good, old fashioned square dances, the others being the more modern Fox Trots, Waltzes, Tag dances and one Paul Jones. John Naylor, Edna Farrow and Don Shannon, with violin, piano and Hawaiian guitar, supplied ex- cellent music for the square danc- ing, and Art Cox with his dance band, dispersed music for the round dances. This-orchestra also contrib- uted several selections while the crowd gathered. Christmas Decoration But the big concert took place on the gaily' decorated platform. Amid bright lights, Canadian flags added color to the several cedar limbs which added the Christmas touch. Huge red Christmas bells hung here and there, and tinsel streamers glit- tering in the light, but served to set off bunting streamers in red, white and blue. At the back of the two beautiful pianos on the stage, was a large Union Jack. In this splendid atmosphere, children and adult en- Baker contributed a solo as did tertainers '"'did their bit", Little Dorothy Saunders opened the con- cert by playing a medley on the Minnie piano in very fine style, 'Scotsman, entertained with a couple Florence Judd, and Margaret Fair delighted with a splendid reading. Irene and Elsie Buttle proved adept in a difficult piano duet, and the sprightly little Doris Mounteny. brought the whole audience to its feet, with. a remarkable demonstra- tion of the Charleston, first without music, ang- later to its accompani- ment. Johnnie Wilkinson and Eddie McDonald handled a dialogue with a moral, in good fashion. One of the very best numbers were the sel- ections playéd on a set of bells by Mr. Rowland. Though encores were not allowed owing to the length of the program Mr. Rowland was one of two exceptions to that rule, Hiz music "brought down the house," and in a variety of numbers he clear- ly demonstrated his versatility as a musician of this kind. Hallowell, Ireland and Brisbois had a novel offering. They entered the room from the rear ,on a factory truck, which was outfitted to represent a motor car. 'Ti comic costume, they proceeded to the stage where they proceeded to' play capers with a unique nail keég, which not only produced violin music when requir- ed, but whose secret chambers shot forth P'Chrigtmas' cheer" 'when "coaxed." The act closed with a few Jig numbers on this most unusual of all instruments. M. Simpson, in costume, delighted with two clever songs and encore. Miss Jessie Dow- ney supplied a piano solo in good form, and little Miss MeDonald, in Scottish costume, and to the music of the bagpipes, did a Scotish dance to perfection. Archie Carscallen sang the Vagabond song, and Gord- on Irwin gave a, splendid piano solo. Mr. Pomeroy gave three short, but witty recitations for rounds of ap- plause, and J, Armstrong, a jovial of Sir Harrg/dlatuder"s famous songs. Mr. Armstrong's good singing voice, and "personality, registered well. Cox and Cinnamon, banjoists with three numbers, supplied an- other outstanding spot on the pro- gram. Those boys know how to syn- copate on instruments whose musié is fetching. They sing too.

Eowwan ville muaiors and Oshawa Shamrocks provided the fans with their money's wrth and then some. un {op +f that Coach Lecke)'s clan romped home with a 13 to 5 vietory which demonstarted the fact that the Row- den-Joyce-Black combination will be heard from before the season has terminated. The game started out at a fast clip with the Edgerites showing plenty of speed and indi- cations that they would make the Shamrocks step the limit to pre- vent 'them winning the opener. However, when - Rowden and Co., started to do things up right in the second there was nothing to it but Oshawa. The first was fast but it was not productive of particularly good hoe- HAVE YOU PAIN AFTER EATING ?

In the second period they worked bet- ter together, also in the third. The outstanding feature of game was "Doc" Rowden's this player securing no less seven of the Shamrocks' counters. the work Bowmanville defence. His stick work was almost sensational and while he had a great night in the scoring line he missed a aumber of other opportunities. Spanton Did Well worked well, of the shining lights with his fre- quent excursions into the territory. Spantoa is showing a burst of speed this year and should be one of the Shamrock"s most valuable players. Cook could not get going but he was effective in halting the visitors' attacks. Le- veque had a good five shots drifted past him he stop- skaters and oa top of that they were effective around the nets, particular- ly Rundle who was always on hand key.

Elliott and - Conlin made creditable show- ings and were used frequently. Bowmanville created somewhat. of | a surprise. They exhibited lots of | speed the entire squad being fast in front of the net. The Bowman- ville goalie was in a somewhat hostile mood. He carried a chip on his shoulder all night and got into the good graces of the referee to such an extent that he was benched on two occasions for resenting the Shamrock's ability to get at close range. | Visitors Score First The Edgerites registered the first zoal and "Doc" Rowden evened it {up. The visitors again took the lead but the reliable Doc again ev- ened the count. Bowmanville added another and then Oshawa came | through with two in a row to end the period 4 to 3. The secoad period saw the Sham- rocks giving the Edgerites a merry battle and the score began to mount. Rowden registered three in this period and with Spanton getting one and Art Black one. Spanton's speedy rushes were much in evi- dence. 1926 As the game became well ad- vanced the players stepped right into their opponents and Referee Smith gave the timers plenty to do. Frequently both teams were two men shy while on three occasioas two players went off together for becoming too strenuous in extending Christmas greetings. The third period was lively with Hoth teams scoring twice, It was a great opener due to the fact that the necessary excitement was there to please the fans. The juniors are in the game all the time and they draw great crowds all year. Line up: Bowmanville -- Goal, defence, Osborne, Freeman; Candler; wings, Williams, subs, Rach, Mutton, Grant.
