It was the largest membership atten- gence that has gone on any fishing p. At the close of the fishing out- Ing, the members retired to the lecture room in the library where L programme was arranged. Along with the U, R. & G. C, the mem- bers of the Port Perry Club were | also invited and about half of the membership attended. In the lib- rary, refreshments were served and & programme got under way. The speakers for the evening were Professor Harkness; Ben Smith, the Game Warden for the County and also Ott, Hamilton. Professor Hark- ness in his 'remarks spoke of the Carp menace in the lake and of their importation to North America about 70 years ago. He outlined the history of this fish from Asia to Europe then to America and of how those persons thought of it as a fine fish, If those persons were still alive, they would be value in teaching us how to exteminate this fish, Mr, Ben Smith told of the meth. ods that the Department are going to use to endeavour to rid the lakes of Carp, Both clubs have agreed to support this experiment with the hope that it will create better fish ing. The speakers were introduced by Ott. Hamilton, chairman for the evening, He asked that the De- partment of Fisheries in their ex- periment . destroy all unsaleable carp and this was assured.

With a powerful physique and almost phenomenal endurance, he often went directly from one game to another and starred in both. In 1020 he tripled in the winning run of a game for the Toronto baseball championship, then rushed to the other end of town to find Toronto trailing Brampton 3-0 in a game for the Ontario lacrosse championship. Conacher's four goals and one assist brought his team from behind to win. Born in 1900, Conacher donned skates for the first time in 1916 on a schoolyard rink near his home in uptown Toronto. Six years later he refused an offer of $5,000 to play with Montreal Canadiens. After turning pro in 1924 he stayed in the big time for 13 years. Two famous brothers --Chuck and Roy-- also made the N.H.L, He was always more at home at rugby and on the half-time for To- ronto Argonauts in the early 20's was one of the most feared ball car- riers in the International loop, In one game against Montreal he gained 227 yards, and average of 2% yards per minute, As a boxer he won the Canadian light heavyweight championship and once boxed four exhibition rounds with Jack Dempsey--from which Dempsey emerged with a split lip. He was the leading figure in the Canadian debut of profes. sional rugby and starred with Montreal Maroons of the Interna- tional Professiona] Lacrosse League. In 1026, he played baseball for To- ronto Maple Leafs, winners of the Little World Series. A record like Conacher's inevitably brought 'its toll of Injuries -- his nose stil] bears the mark of eight fractures and he has had more than 600 stitches in his 200-pound, six foot frame, Now a successful businessman, his office overlooks the playground of Toronto's Jesse Ketchum school, where he began a career that ex- hausted all the superlatives in the vocabularies of sports scribes from coast to coast. pn Why Not "9 When In Fully Insured Taxi Cubs . PROPRIETOR Need or TAXI SERVICE Use Our 69 REXALLS WIN OZR VICTORS IN OMBA GAME Rexalls won 6-1 over Victors in the third game of the round-robin for the OM.B.A, play-offs, Thurs- day night up at Alexandra Park, The game was a very good one up until the first of the seventh in- ning when the druggists ran in eight runs. The game was called after the first half of that frame so that inning didn't count in the score, It still gave Rexalls a rath- er wide margin over the other team, Plenty Of Strikeouts The pitching was just about equal in the matter of strikeouts as Mc~ Tavish got ten while his opposing moundsman got nine whiffers. The main trouble with Barnes' hurling was that he faced several batters who could bingle when he placed his Sunday pitch down the alley. All in all, the Rexall batters collect- ed four official hits and five unof- ficials in the 7th off Barnes. Then there were the infield erross to con- tend with and this, above all, led the Victors boys down the road to defeat, Rexalls got their first run in the top of the first frame when Lean singled to be followed by Batten who went down swinging, Lean stole second but was tossed out at third on an attempted theft of that base, O'Connor singled to centre and stole second, Stovin then got to first on an error to the third baseman and that pushed O'Connor in to the platter for the first run, D, Hoy went down thiry to first and that ended the Rexall's first bid for counters in the run column. Victors tied the game in the last of the first when Saegar singled, went to second on Barnes' hit past the pitcher, but was thrown out at third on an attempted steal, Cole hit into a force-out, which went haywire as did McArthur, These er- rors let Barnes across the plate and made the score 1-1, The next two batters went down swinging. Rexall's Take Lead Rexalls made a three-run rally in the top of the second when two walks and four errors pushed three runs across the plate in the person of Hutton, Hoy and Lean, Two er= rors went to the third baseman and the other two went to the shortstop. Victors threatened in the last of the fourth when they got men: to third and second bases with two out, The next man up, however, didn't come through with the need- ed hit and so that was all for the Victor team for the rest of the game, as they never got a man past second base in all the innings that remained, Rexalls on their way to another win got a two run tally in the first of the fifth inning, as O'Connor walked and stole second. Stovin singled him home and went to sec ond on the fielded's bad return to the infield. D, Hoy grounded out to first base and Stovin continued on to third on the out. Hutton struck out by Don Hoy got a safe- ty to right field and that sent the second run of the inning across the plate, McTavish went down the hard way on strikes and that end- ed another successful bid by the druggists, Hectic Parade in 7th . No more scoring was done in the official game but in the unofficial first of the seventh before the game was called on account of darkness, Rexalls started to make a run-away of the game ag they scored eight runs in that frame alone and that would have made the score 14-1. But as the game was called and the Victor team had no chance at a try for a seventh inning rally the in. ning was not counted and so the final score was 6-1 for Rexall's, Barnes was steady at bat for the Victor team but his hurling was not THE TIMEB-GAZETTE Saturday, August 24, 1046 all it could have been. He got a 066 average at bat for the best night at bat for his team Don Hoy was just as hot for the wine ners with his "two-for-three" aver age, Vietors--8aegar, 3b; * Barnes, p; Cole, ss; McArthur, c¢; Lescision, rf; Burnett, 1b; McTaggart, 2b; De- pratto, cf; and Swindell, if.
