His case, and several others like it, were all dealt 'with similarly but certain team managers and coaches will be reprimanded as a warning to keep closer watch on the groups in which their®-- men play. MacDonald had apparently violat- ed O.B.A. regulations by playing for Oshawa Merchants in Kingston re- cently. Even after inquiry he was under the impression that in this case hegould play senior ball. Fol- lowing & report to the O.B.A., on the occurrence, MacDonald was or- dered not to play in the game against Port Hope last Tuesday night but later permission was granted for him to play in this case. It was a good thing for Whitby that its main sparkplug was on the diamond because he wallop- ed a homer with two men on base and two out to bring in the win- ning run and the only three runs of the game. Three to two was the final score. As secretary of the Whitby Minor Athletic Association, Gordon Mz- Mahon was advised yesterday of the decision. O.B.A. regulations permit a player holding a junior certificate to play either junior, intermediate or sen- ior ball, but not all three. MacDonald had accepted the Merchants' offer to play in com- plete innocence that he was break- ing the rule and was dismayed to find himself the focus of unfavor- able comment and subsequent sus- pension, Particularly because of the popu- larity of this player and his great value to Whitby teams, his buddies are rejoicing that this unfortunate matter has been settled honorably and finally, GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY WHITBY SERVICES . ..

Martin Brooklin township park at Brooklin. On Thursday, 27 residents of Brooklin went to Ajax to work on the first warehouse. Each is 325 by 56 feet and contains lumber in excellent condition. They are lo- cated in the east area of the D.I.L. plant grounds. Chairman of the rink committee, Dr. J. H. McKinney, is more than pleased with the progress which has been made in recent weeks toward the building of a rink after almost two years of difficult planning. "While we would like to have ice this winter, I would not be able to make any definite statement about at the present time we have no completed blueprints, no cement and no contractor. said the doctor. Reported cost of the Ajax build- ings is $3,400, and saia to be a good buy." Like other similar com- munity projects, the Brooklin rink has had a rough time arranging finances. No definite statement is available on finances. cash have brought the finances to a sizable sum bnt not enough yet to build. It is believed the present activity will stimulate interest in the rink. For 2% hours on Thursday, Whit- it could or should do in the way of financial aid to the rink, but noth- ing definite was forthcoming. One suggestion was that a plebiscite vote could be taken at the time of the next municipal election. Council had been requested to advance a loan of $2,000, but it was found such action by a municipal body would be illegal. Another ex- ploration of public feeling on the matter was nade early in the year when a questionnaire was sent out to ratepayers asking whether they would object to a $5,000 donation when the rink will be built because | Those are things | which may present difficulties," | "very | Pledges and | by Township Council discussed what | Men At Ajax Demolish Two Warehouses Brooklin, Aug. 14--Volunteer labor from Brooklin has pitched in with a will the past three days to demolish two large warehouse buildings at Ajax which have been acquired by the Brooklin Rink Committee. used to build a community rink in connection with the 4 Lumber salvaged will be by the township which would ape proximate a two-mill increase om the tax levy.
