REPRESENTATIVE -- JAMES HOLDEN SEA FLEAS WON ~ SOFTBALL TITLE INTOWN LEAGUE Defeated Tuxis Boys By 19 to 4 in the Final Game (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 5--The Sea-Flcas won their eighth consecutive game, the honors of town league champion- ship and also that much longed for and long promiséd chicken pie sup- per, when they defeated the Tuxis Boys by: the score of 19 to 4. The game last night was the last of the season of the town league series and will exclude the necessity of a play- off which had been decided if the winning team had lost one game. 'A large crowd of fans were on hand at the park and enjoyed the way in which the Sea-Fleas batted and buz- zed around the bases. he first inning opened with Com- modore Watson's gang determined to win and taking a strong hold ori the game when they hit the old apple around in great style to bring in 7 runs to the Tuxis boys. Right there the game was won and lost and in each succeeding round the Fleas pil- ed up the count while they held the Tuxis boys to a low score. In the fifth inning the Sea-Fleas went on the rampage again to score six more rins while their opponents were diz- zy chasing the ball around. During the sixth the Tuxis team tightened up and allowed their oponents but oné run while they counted 2. The first of the seventh the play was called due to darkness. Northam and Harkness of the Seca Fleas were the feature hitters of the game each clouting the apple for a homer. Herb. Neal pitched a won- derful game for the winners and al- lowed ory one batter to walk while many strike outs were chalked up to his credit. His battery mates South- well' and Thompson, supported him well, while the team in the field play- ed almost errorless ball. The batting of the winners was a delight to the fans and their base running a feature of the contest. The Tuxis' boys played under dis- advantage in the game last evening, in that several of their regular play- ers and trusted batsmen were out of town, The management had appeal- ed for a pistponement of the game, which was not granted. Doug. Maun- drell pitching for the Tuxis put in a good game and at times the oppos- ing 'heavy hitters were fooled. His support in the field however was wobbly and their errors proved cost- ly 'and meant runs for the winners. His battery mate, Baker, at all times gave good support. Messrs. Forrester and Scott um- pired the play and their decisions proved just to both teams. The Sea- eas are living with great expecta- tions of that chicken supper the commodore has promised them and which they have earned by winning the league and are anxiously awaiting the -date to be announced. It has been suggested that the supper would not be complete, wtihout the officers of the league and the press, invited.

Work in Trinidad The second speaker of the day was Dr. Netram, a native missionary of Trinidad. Dr. Netram's father was a convert of the first missionary to that district and the members of the conference were delighted with the address on the work which is being accomplished by the missionarys in that district. * Rev. C. E. Rogers of the Peace River district followed with an address on the amazing de- velopment which is taking place in that district and reported that 27 missionarys were at work. It was Rev. Roger's opinion 'that the Peace River district will be one of the greatest sections of Canada in years to come. Financial Appeal Rev. Petér Bryce of Toronto fol- lowed 'and' ¢xpressed the appreciation of all for the excellent addresses which had been given by the pre- ceeding speakers. Interesting statis- tics were given by Rev. Bryce which showed that over 8 million dollars had' been given during three and three quarter years by the members of the church in the five conferen- ces, which amounted to over 2 mil- lion a year. The amounts were divi- ded as follows for each conference: Montreal and Ottawa $1,432,075 Bay of Quinte 1,041,836 Toronto 2,725,273 Hamilton 1,374,721 London . 1,404,515 He also mentioned that although the amount given had been exception- ally good an extra amount of $200, 000 would be needed this year.

It was also shown that 420 of the home missions had become self supoprting and due to this 340 new mission stations had been established. He referred to the fact that in spite of the generosity of the members the work of the church was so extensive that $200,000 would be needed by the M. and M. fund this year.

Many of the delegates were surprised at the beauty of the grounds and o the buildings which comprise the college. The closing prayer of the day was offered by Rev. Duncan Mec- Lcod of Formosa. CREAMERY MAY MOVE LOCATION Burning cf Plant at Brooklin May Lead to Change (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 5.--At the council meeting held on Tuesday evening it was brought to the attention of the council that the management of the creamery at Brooklin, the buildings of which had recently been damaged by fire, were con- templating a move to some town or city, more suitable. Since the town of Whitby affords many ad- vantages necessary to a Y'isiness of this kind, the council instructed the clerk, Mr. J. Frost, to write the officials of the company, point- ing out the advantages of Whithy and that the town would be will- ing to do anything in their power to help them should they decide to locate here. Although the cream- ery at Brooklin is not a large con- cern, its establishment in Whitby weuld mean employment for =zev- eral men and would likely bring several families to town. The letter has been forwarded and develop- ments are expected OSHAWA TEAM HAS ISSUED CHALLENGE (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 5.--The 'Red Aces" of Oshawa, a snappy juven- ile team, have issued a challenge to play any of the teams of the town league in Whitby.

Arrangements can be made through the local Times office. inn ---------- CHARGE ADJOURNED (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 5.--Albert :Ser- vice, of Oshawa, who is charged with committing a serious offence against a young Whitby 'girl, ap- peared before magistrate Willis in pclice court yesterday.

HERBERT MORTLOCK ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOLS HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR Public Schools Opened Yes- terday, but Collegiate Will Start Term on Monday (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 5.--It is expect- ed that when the returns are avail- able there will be. shown an increase in attendance at all the schools in town. The principal of the public school, Mr. Johnson, told The Times that it was impossible to record the number of pupils at the school open- ing which took place yesterday until a later date but it was expected that there will be approximately 630 at- tending Central school, a slightly big- ger attendance than last year. The teaching staff of that school will be as follows: Principal, Mr. Johnson, staff, C. E. Brunton Misses M. Jen- nings, Helen Morris, Greta Wicket, M. Sargent, Leta Bragg, Vivian Bun- ner, Mrs. M. Symons, and Miss M. Hart. The students of the High school were ardently hoping that the unfin- ished state of the school would allow them to indulge in a few more days holiday and although the officials had previously stated that they could ma- nage in the old school, it was found that this was impracticable and the scholars had their wish granted in as much as they will not be required at school till Monday next. Mr. Drip- ple the new principal stated that he would expect an enrollment of over 230, but it should be impossible to tell for a few days yet. The complete staff of the High School for the com- ing vear will'be: Principal, Louis W. Dripple, staff: G. L. Wagar, Ailecn V. Parker, Miss Pearl Whitten, Miss LK Miss Isabel, Ogden.

The following facts are sure to be of interest to citizens at large. The total number of members is nearly 500, which is ifn excess of the corresponding time last year, and this is the slackest time of the year as there is not as much reading done in the summer, Ow- ing to the umerous outdoor attrac- tions. . At the end of December, 1928, there were 510 members on the books and it is expected that this number will be greatly increased in the coming winter. = All kinds of fiction find favor and it was im- possible to pick and choose between one kind and another. Some pre- Smith, Miss E. Steadman and | Daily Times fer adventure and others prefer historical books, while others again select the numerous other kinds of heavy reading matter that is to be had in any good library. Not only adults show interest in this public institution as there are over two hundred children who use the facilities of the library mm the betterment of their education. For the size of the town there is a remarkable collection of books and they will compare favorably with any library of any town of the same population and in fact can boast a better one than some cities. The fiction section alone has 2,- 137 books and the children's corn- er of this department can boast of 1,457 volumes. The periodicals issued by the Federal and Provin- cail Governments are there almost in their: entirety. In the non-fic- tion section, 3,192 volumes make a very comprehensive selection to choose from and in this class there are included books on biography, travel, geography, history, art, science, poetry and religous sub- jects. There are 39 magazines re- ceived at every publication, and al- s0 19 papers including two daily papers. The complete number ot books circulated last year was 27,- 710, and there were 428 new vol- umes added. Lastly the reference library must certainly not be for- gotten, for Mrs. McGregor statea that this part of thel ibrary is con- sidered one of the best for a small town in the province of Ontario, and consists of over one thousand volumes. TRAINING SCHOOL GAMP BREAKS LP Boys Back in School After Eight Weeks at the Beach (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 5--The Boys' Training School camp broke up yes- terday afternoon and when The Times reporter arrived on the scene the boys were in the midst of pull- ing down the big marquec that had served as a dining room for the past cight weeks, If sun tan is supposed to be fashionable those boys are sure ahead of the times for they are mote than tanned and their skin matches very well the khaki clothes that they were wearing. One boy was asked if he was pleased he was going back to school and promptly asked the re- porter if he thought he was crazy. After the whole of a time those boys hdve had this summer it appeared a rather foolish question to ask. For cight weeks they have been swim- ming, playing ball and keeping the hours busy with interest the whole time. About five o'clock the boys were all back at the school and were busy that opens this week. All are eagerly looking forward to their fall fair that takes place about September 21 and this is the next important event on their calendar. Premier Ferguson is expected to be present at this an- nual affair together with several members of the cabinet and also the opposition in parliament, DEADLOCK OVER FOOTBALL FINAL Bowmanville and Enniskil- lan Teams Unable to Agree (By 'Staff Reporter) : Bowmanville, Sept. 5--The meeting took place t Captains of the rival Bowmanville and Enniskillen téams in the foot- ball final to decide when and where the game would 'be played. Unfor- tunately this ended in a stalemate as after an hour and a quarter of talk- ing they were no nearer a solution getting settled for the school period, in Bowmanville of the | than before. It appears that Bow- manville are of the mind that they will not play on the Solina ground again and Enniskillen are equally against playing anywhere else. The Oshawa ground was suggested but that was too far for the boys from the north and then Hampton park was not suitable as it was not a full size pitch. Bowmanville were equal- ly against playing at any other ground except perhaps Leskard which were put forward and this solo had some drawback and after being un- able to agree on a playing field the argument turned to a day to play the game, The busiest day for the far- mers they claim is Saturday and they would be unable to play on that day and as most of the Bowmanville crew work in factories it is not easy for them to play any other day. So the cup final controversey remains a deadlock till both captains have a confab with their respective teams and see if some arrangement cannot be entered into. LOCAL CLUB HAD [NUSUAL NFETING Members Attended Enjoy- able Party in the Garb of Little. Children (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 5 -- Several people were to be seen making for the South Ward Monday night who although the night was hot were wear- ing coats and in such a fashion as to appear to be hiding something. The occasion was the weckly meet- ing of the Ugo Igo Club and the reason for all the camouflage was the fact that they had been asked to come to this meeting dressed in children's clothes. Many were the bursts of laughter when the mem- bers were removing their coats and their short skirts and in some cases their boys school clothes became visible. The Kid's meeting as some one called it was held at the home of Mrs. Wiseman on Ontario street and the house was decorated with all kinds of seasonal flowers, the prizes for the best speciman of a small girl were won by Mrs. Fred Lyle and Mrs. Francis Clark and those to the ones that mostly resembled a school hoy, Mrs. Bathgate and Mrs. Tom Wright. The judge was Mrs. Wil- liam Booth. After this interesting competition all joined in community singing which was followed by cards and dancing. The party concluded with a bounteous supper and the "happy children" left at the unearth- ly hour of one o'clock in. the morn- ing long after little ones in short clothes should have been in bed. KEEN INTEREST IN THE LACROSSE FINAL (By Staff Reporter) ; Bowmanville, Sept. 5S--Bowmanville is today very proud of its neighbour, Oshawa, in winning the Mana Cup emblematic of the Dominion Lacrosse Championship. Last night great in- terest was evinced in the final game out west and The Times representa- tive was busy all evening informing local Oshawa well wishers of the scores at the different periods of the game. "Bravo Oshawa" and "Hot stuff, Oshawa" were terms used when the final score was made known late last night. Citizens of the town are not only glad that the cup returned to Ontario but that there nearest neighbors should bring it home makes them proud to be a neighbor to a city that brought home a Rugby Championship last year and the La- crosse this year, Thé above photo shows Harry Stewart, former. Hamilton, Ont. boy, whose exploits as a burglar in Chicago attracted particular at.' tention because of his practice of removing the trousers of his vic- tims to prevent pursuit who has been given a sentence of from one year to life by a Chicago judge.
