The game was never in doubt from the start of the game until its fin- ish, The Whitby Ladies always had the game well in hand. The clever pitching of Miss June Cowling was a sight to be witnessed, She was steady throughout the whole game, and the rest of the team played "heads-up" softball, The return game in Pickering next Monday evening is awaited, The Whitby team has made a great record for themselves up to the present time, they having won the only three games played, wine ning from the Ajax team in their home-and-home series by scores of 19-0 in the game at Ajax, and dee feating them in the return game at Whitby by a score of 27 to 5, and td top this is the first game of home-and-home games between Pickering and Whitby, resulting in a 20-3 score: * a» This writing by the manager of the Whitby team ceases with this issue. He has gone as far as he oan go. He, and he alone, has given to Whitby the clever team that rep- resents the town at the present time, He picked the team in its en- tirety from the midst of a host of aspiring lady softball players, all of whom are charter members of the Whitby Ladies Softball Club (not a team but a club), It had been the manager's intention to rent club-rooms for the club when the opportunity offered, but in these days the offerings are few and far between, So that has passed also. The batting order of the players (for results of games) was the work of the manager of the team only, and what results he has seen thus ar The manager never has seen any good use of clique teams in young adies softball; they are a lability, not an asset to the sport. Any young lady (no matter of whatever nationality she may be) who is clever and proficient at the game should be allowed to take part in such games. : The closing remarks of the man- ager are these: Ban selfishness: team play is what counts; forget self, and think of others who would like enjoyment in playing the game as well as yourself; and last, but not least, by following the above You may depend on us to arrange every detail efficiently and assist you in every way possible. When death occurs, come to us and be as. sured your every re- quest will be fulfilled. STROWGER'S Funeral Service 215 DUNDAS ST. EAST PHONE . WHITBY 581 during the return four) DAY OR NIGHT rules, you will bring credit to the town and yourselves as well, No team in this or any other country can last long on a corps of 9 play- ers; 12 or more players constitute a team of softball players, but what young lady wants to be an inactive ornament on the bench continually? Think these things over; it will be to your advantage. In closing, the writer wishes the Whitby Young Ladies Softball team all the success that comes from right-doing along sport lines, The team has a splendid coach in the person of Mr, "Buss" Trott, one who came highly recommended to the manager, So taking it all in "all -the team should go a long way as a winning aggregation, So long and good luck to you all is the sincere wish of the under~ signed. .
