LEE BR J BAY GOT 18 Though 18 runs were chalked up for the Bay team last night against the Baptist's one, a few. irregular- ities will be argued out and perhaps the game will not be allowed as a league game. Tonight's Jr. Game Is With Peterborough Whitby fans expect to see the home team continue its winning ways in the town park tonight when the Intermediates tangle with Peterborough "A's". This bids fair to be another classy exhibition like the one last 'Wednesday. Both these teams are at their best these days. One other angle of baseball that is particularly important as the season wears along is that the fans should dig deep in their pockets when "that man" (eigh- ty years a ball fan) jingles the silver in front of the stands. Loyal support of Whitby people will help the boys to have great- er confid in th Ives and produce more wins. List Promotions At Audley School Audley, Ont.

Unless there is a very severe storm it will stand bearing its heavy heads, the Ancarol Farm manager says, Heads five inches long give promise of yields which may well be over 60 bushels to the acre. As a result of a previous story in The Times-Gazette about this uni- versity-developed strain now being tested by a few enterprising farmers in Canada, Mr. McMorrow has re- ceived orders from farmers in the West asking for purchase of seed. He has three orders from Alberta and two from Saskatchewan. One correspondent enclosed a newspaper clipping of the story. "It should be ready to cut in about two weeks," Mr. McMorrow said to- day. Since a picture was taken and published in this paper showing the stand in places to be almost five feet, it has grown another nine inches in height but the weight of the heads causes the stems to bend over now, Some orders have also heen placed by local farmers and small samples may be provided to a good many who wish to try the new strain, Before another month is out, there may be news of an amazing yield. Only flaw in the picture is & few "pockets" of the stand in the vicinity of buildings where pressure of a whirlwind has knocked it down a bit. Even if the wheat goes down, the ground was well prepared and it could be combined without much trouble. Summer Garden Party Given By All Saints' A delightful "Children's Garden Party" was held yesterday after- noon on the lawn of Robert Bea- ton's residence on King Street. Ar- ranged by members of the Evening Guild of All Saints' Church it was under the convenorship of Mrs. Ronald Carter. Idea of the affair was to have lots of attractions for children so that mothers could bring the youngsters and have them properly entertained. --Times-Gazette Staff Photos Useful Woodcrafts Taught at Day Camp for Children James Hall and Kenneth Musselman are seen at the door of the "White Panther's" dressing hut made by boys attending the Whitby Recreation Day Camp north of town.

Postman Jailed Stole From Mail Kingston, July 10 -- (CP) -- For stealing five dollars from the mails, Donald Denee, 28, Kingston mail carrier, was sentenced Friday to six months in Ontario Reformatory. County Judge J. C. Reynolds pro- nounced sentence. Denee previously appeared in city magistrate's court and asked to be tried in the next highest court. When he appeared before Judge Reynolds Monday he pleaded guilty and was remanded to today. He was arrested after postal in- spectors sent to Kingston for in- vestigation work had planted money in some letters which were put through the local post office. Denee was found to have the money in his Baptist Player Fractures Leg In Softball Fred Campbell, first b n for the Baptist Young People's Softball club, broke his leg slid- ing into second base during Wednesday night's game against Brooklin.

Taken to Oshawa General Hospital, Campbell's leg was placed in a cast up to the knee. - In Memoriam SAWDON--In loving memory of our dear father, James Sawdon, who passed away July 11th, 1847, Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind, They are cherished in the hearts, Of those they leave behind. --Ever remembered by his sons, Wil- liam and John, and daughters-in-law.
