The affairs of no fewer than six spin- ning companies wire examined in the Chancery Court there Tuesday with » view to the court sanction- ing various schemes suggesfied for financing them, How the cotton gambling was embarked upon hy people of com- paratively small means was related by the official receiver who in- stanced the case of a commercial traveller whose bankruptcy had fol- lowed his speculating in which he had been advised to 'go in for" TLarge numbers of man- ual workeyafind salarged employ- ees had been enabled, indeed almost encouraged to apply for shares in speculative enterprises during the - last seven or eight years, to an ex- tent far beyond thier powers to ab- sorb--the original purchasg money having been supplied by the banks, the official receiver said. The judge remarked that the commercial traveller in question at the time when Lancashire went financially mad suddenly joined in the scramble for shares in compan- fes that were hojf:lessly over-cap- ftalized, QUEBEG EXPECTS ONTARIO INVASION Excursionists from "Soo," Haileybury and Hearst Planned Quebec, July 6,--A large dele- gation of French Canadians from three northern Ontario parishes, Halleybury, Sault Ste, Marie and Hearst, is scheduled to reach Que- bec on Thursday morning in con- nection with the souvenir excur- sion. There are two hundred and fifty in the party, which is headed by Mgr. Lecuyer, Vicar-General of the far't Ste, Marie Diocese, and they will be welcomed to the city by Mayor Martin and will be taken for an auto driyf2 throughout the city and district, will cross the Quebec bridge, will be received at Bpencerwood by the Lietitenant- Governor, and in the evening at 8 'clock will be banquetted at the hateau Frontenac by the St. Jean Baptiste Society of Quebec, when numerous speeches will be made, The travellers are at present in Montreal, which point they reach- ed Tuesday morning, and they were scheduled. to leave there last night. "What was the trouble at that house the complaint came from yes- terday?" asked the manager of the gi48 works, "Nothing much," replied the in- snector. "I found a centipede in one of the pipes." : "Ah! an extra hundred feet, that they're charged for that." See HEAVY RAINFALLS REPORTED IN WEST OUTLOOK BRIGHT Winnipeg, July 6.--Grain fiields in Western Canada afford the most pro- mising prospects of bumper yields, and despite reduction in acreage seeded to wheat, a record crop already is being predicted by experts who have just returned from extensive field surveys. Wheat is well advanced and head- ing out in some districts. Coarse grains also are reported to have come along rapidly during the past week, Heavy rainfall has been experienced throughout the Prairies. In some dis- tricts of Northern Alebtra and Cen- tral Saskatchewan, it has rained al- most without a let-up for 48 hours, Other areas were liberally drenched. The added moisture has definitely eli- minated the possibility of drouth in the West, and also has had the effect of checking the menace of cutworms and other pests, Many points report ufficient moisture in the soil to carry cotton | the crops another month to six weeks. Pasture lands and hay fields are in excellent condition and first cutting of alfalfa is now fairly well under way McCORMICK JUNIORS PLAY TONIGHT The Motors Juniors crowd are all sweated up over their tilt with the Me- Cormick Juniors for tonight and are out to go into the fray with vim and vigor. They are out to show the Oshawa public that our city can produce players with the best of them, so fans will see them giving "glad" Calhoun's so-called "Wonder Team" a battle to the last ditch, More power to them! Herbie Wolfe, when interviewed to- day on the pros and cons of the game was very optimistic as to his team's chance for a win and figures that he has a hurling staff that will stand most opposition on its head in Petre, "Chic" O'Neill and "Slim" Turner, The strong leader of the motors kids also figures he has in "The Elliott" a catcher of rare ability--altogether he figures that his hurling and receiving end is some little bit stronger than that of iis opponents, "Eddie" Harrington's foot is rounding into shape and his hitting will give added strength to the 'Baby Spark Plugs" offensive, Har- rington plays lst base, and hits from the right-hand side of the plate, so with "Brick" Evans, who is a left hand hitter and also a Ist baseman, Wolfe figures he is extremely well equipped around the initial sack, "Boob" Shel- lencoff, and "Bert" Naylor are avail- able for 2nd base, while Boucher plays either at short or 3rd, as does "Tun- ney" Morison, who appears to be at his best this year, both in fielding and hitting. Tunney can also turn in a smart game on the mound, "Ed- die" Leveque also is available for short "Nipper" Jones is a real ball hawk and one of the best 'outfielders around these parts, He has recovered his bat- ting eye and is now hitting the old apple for a healthy average. "Bill" Joyce, Hulatt, and "Pete" Peterson are the other outfielders available, who are coming right along, while *Dint" Cope- land can work in behind the bat or in the field nicely. The McCormack s roster as passed on by Manager Wolfe is a healthy one and contains the names of players whose ability is a byeword around junior circles in Toronto--real ball players and well worth seeing in ac- tion. The list reads as follows :--- Barton, 1b; Higgins, 2b; McClelland, ss; Baker, 3b; Jennings, If; Bucking: ham, If; Nichols, rf; Flake and Todd Benson, ¢; "Steamer" Moffatt, Lefty Howie and Johnston, pitchers, McCoy DISPUTE OVER CUSTODY OF PEARLS WORTH $20,000 AMUSES CHICAGO PUBLIC Chicago, July 6.--The great ado over the custody of a $20,000 string of pearls Is amusing the public and displaying the keen avidity of the authorities. The pearls were pick- ed up by Peter Kyriakos, a shoe pol- fsher. He thought the string was worth $2 and offered them to a jeweller for that sum. The man of gems recognized the value of the pearls and called the police. The finder was arrested for disorderly conduct for daring to re- trieve the pearls and offer them for sale. Attorney Felix Streykman went to the boy's rescue, He demanded that the police turn over the pearls to the finder until the owner could be found. The police dug up a law which says treasure over $15 in value must be turned over to the sheriff and after six months sold and the proceeds turned into the county treasury. Sheriff Grayson made a demand for the pearls. The police laughed. Judge Fetzer has issued sub- poenas for the sheriff, four detect- ives, the shoeshiner and County Commissioner Newby to appear be- fore him and solve the mystery of custody, Streykman holds the law says the finder can keep the pearls six months and then turn them over to the sheriff. No owner has turn- ed up. The police learned that under the ancient Greek law any- thing a Greek might find belongs to the King, but Greece has no King.

In the opinion of sporting experts, this is more than a vague comjecture. The conditions of the race, the physi- que necessary to make am acquatic star and a few selections from the en- tries already in, have made this possi- by a point to be carefully comsider- Almost every Ontario municipality has a dark-horse entrant training quietly. Though many of these may never actually start on the day of the race, a considerable number are certain competitors. Important as proper coaching may be, natural ability and endurance pow- ers are perhaps hte most impontamt factors which will decide the world's greatest water marathon. In this case. too, the odds favor the mwknown de- pending on his strength and stamina. In swimming the Faglish Channel, ex- perience and skill is battling tides, knowledge of the conditions the swim- mer had to face and proper manage- ment and coaching could make the difference between success and failure. In the Toronto event, the weather conditioins are likely to be nearly ideal. There are mo tides to contend with, no currents and none of the other ad- verse conditions 1 other marathons. The one thing the swimmer, must koep in mind is the faot Many Dark Horse Entries In C. N. E. Marathon Swim which have warked: that it will be necessary for him to be accustomed to the temperature. Lake Ontario is apt to be more chilly than the water in shallower lakes or in the average body of fresh water. The race goes to the swimmer whose earlier life has resulted in building up a sound physique and this is a big point in favor of the young unknown from the small 'town or from the country who, through living and working lar- gely in the outdoors, is gifted with a natural strength which no amount of expert training could give him. Training is ,of course, almost a ne- cessity but there are a host of expert coaches available and all of them are on the lookout for likely marathon prospects. Should a dark horse win the laurels, he would also win world renown and a large fortune. To win, he would have to defeat a score of the world's great- est living swimming stars. There are half a dozen Furopean champions al- ready entered including Georges Michel who holds the world's record for cross- Thoresen and Farstad, two powerful Norwegians: Emst Vierkotter, the German baker who swam the Channel last year; possibly Ishak Helmy, the Egyptian as well as Otto Kemmerich of Hamburg, Mrs. Hepworth of Fng- land, Grecian, Italian, Scotch, Hawiian and Russia stars. George Young, the young Canadian conqueror of Catalina is a strong fav- orite in the race despite the impressive opposition he must meet. At least, fifty outstanding Americans will be pitted against ham and a whale host of Canadians. But it is the very fact that he must defeat all these international favorites to win first place that makes the Fx- hibition marathon so attractive to the voung unknown, working out without any motice from the sporting world 51 hit, 0 errors, which were made by | § at large in some little Canadian lake | Elwood dribbled to Morison, 0 rums, Seventh Innings Dainty hit through short, Henson's saeni- singled to send Dainty to third, and stole second on the second pitched ball, Fair hit to third who retired Dainty when Williams forced him off the hase, Penu hit into center field scoring Williams and Fair, Mat- Motors and advanced on fice.
