Wally Samanski was in rare form as he allowed only two hits both of them coving in the fourth inning. He issued iwo walks and ee fanned no less than 13. There was only one man reach third base and two got as far as second. An eight hit rally and as many runs in the sixth inning were the big blows of the game. Home runs by W. and E. Samanski were the turning points in the scoring episode. E. Samanski lead the Incals with a neat four for five, Spencer was next with three for four and two walks, Dafoe and A. Samanski had three for six and Sunain collected two for four and a walk. The Stokers will meet the winners of t.e Trenton--Cobourg series in the next round of the O.AS.A. playoffs. Samanski had: no trouble in the first two men to face him. He is- sued a free pass to the third man but got the next man to ground out short to first. The Stokers see- ing that they 'vere able to sweep the series by winning the game tonight, got off to a good start in the first inning. Dafoe the first man up singled and stole second, A. Samanski singled sending Dafoe to third, Spencer singled scoring Dafoe and on the play Samanski was out, Mayne popped to second but Law and E. Samanski singled to plate another run, Ross lifted to first with two runs and five hits racked up by the locals. Balls Too Fast Westmount could do nothing with the slants gf Samanski in the ~second and the side was retired n order. The locals managed to get one man on in the second as Sundin singled with one away, but the next two ment went down in order. Samanski really turned ol the heat in the third and fann three men and sent Dafoe "to the bench with a warm hand as he was really f that old ball in at a terrific pace.

Decision some months ago, was to accept in the coming fall term any pupil who was five years of age on July 1 last. Previously, the board had announc- ed that it would only accept six- year-olds. As the matter stands now, the rule of 'five on July 1' still stands but he board is by no means unanimous in its decision. The subject was broached by Trus- tee Pat Neal who pointed out that under the present system the six- year-olds will still be attending school only one-half day for their first year in school. He said there is both the accommodation and the teaching staff at King Street School to accept a kindergarten class to the age of five years, and Mr. Neal contended that such a class should be established at King Street School which would be open to any children who were sent there for kindergarten training. Six-year-olds would then be ac- cepted in grade one in all schools. In this view Mr, Neal was largely supported by. Trustee William Forbes. While debating the correct age for children to start to school, prin- cipal Earl Fairman made clear to the board the views of Inspector A. A. Archibald which have had considerable bearing in the matter this year, According to the super- vising principal, the Inspector is opposed in principle, to accepting any child bélow the age of six years but in view of the fact that a new five-roomed school has just been completed in Whitby and in view of public pressure to extend the age-limit for admittance, the Inspector agreed that a lower age winding them over the plate in!should be permitted and advised -W style. : Then came the fourth inning and two men out, Childerhouse and connected. for a single into left field, he was followed Bawks who rapped out a neat , Childerhouse to third. - Bawks stole second but Samanski "fanned Mellette to ehd the threat. For the Stokers in their half of the fourth with two out McKee was beginning to have trouble to get the ball over the plate and issued two walks in a row. He steadied away and got Dafoe to ground short to first. In the fifth Samanski walked the first man up but sent the next three to the showers in order, The locals finding a two run lead rather slim, decided to get a few more on their side of the score sheet' With two men on and as many out E. Samanski ("Grampa" as one Westmount fan called him) came to the plate and dug in his cleats and rapped one into deep left field that in our book was credited with a home run. This scored three runs and gave ths Stokers a more comfortable lead. Ross, next man up, walked but W. Samanski went down short to first. Still Baffled The Westmount nine again went down in order in the first half of the sixth as they were completly baffled by the speed and control of Samanski. The locals again un- leashed a terrific blow in the sixth and when the Westmount team had finally racked up out number three, 12 men had come to bat |far as we can gather, | the teaching staff that they would be well able to handle some five- year-olds. Though the present policy of the board is clear, the opinions of in- dividual members appeared to be at variance. The principal presented to the board a pressing request from one parent to accept a child this term although the child is younger than the age limit. Refus- ing the request, it was also stated by Chairman C. E. Goode, that should conditions warrant after the opening of school in the coming term, it was possible that the age limit might be revised downward. At the same time, he doubted there would be sufficient accommoda- tion. Some members of the board felt that the kindergarten - primary classes may only have 22 pupils going half days and that more could, and should be accepted. and eight of them had scored runs. The score now stood at 13-0. For the visitors in the remain- ing three trips to bat they failed to get a hit and only one man got to first as he waited out a free pass. The locals added two more in the seventh and another in the 8th to bring their total to 16. We will try and keep you posted as to when the first game of the playoffs with the next team will be so keep your eye on the paper for any news that comes up in this respect. The kers are, as the best softball team that has been in town for several years and they deserve a lot of support from the people of Whitby.

This fall would be the appropriate time for adjusting the separate and special interests of citizens to the general design of the by-law before it is presented to the Town Council for passage.

In the coming season the 32- league men's district bowling club will be headed by a well-known loca} -sperts enthusiast, one of the most colorful and energetic com- munity figures in Whitby -- Gor- don Hawes. A carpenter by trade, usually Gordon can be located on the main street partially hidden behind a big cigar and wielding a hammer in one hand. For a number of months he has had contracts to replace several store fronts on Brock Street. Gord's colorful per- sonality and keen mind has made him sought out to give assistance in many community projects. The Kinsmen Club has benefited from having him as a member; he has done a Jot of work on the swim- ming pool construction; on the Fun Fest for the past two years! Hockey clubs have claimed much of his attention in winter and baseball in summer. It is the rich, gravelled- voiced Hawes tones: which can be heard over the P.A. system pt each Intermediate ball game, His forthright and reasonable opinions are sought by committees sitting on all sorts of community problems. He was a strong advo- cate of municipal ownership of the local rink which now seems to be a forgotten issue. As a member of and a past president of Whitby Kinsmen, he has had extensive or- ganizing experience and is well ac- quainted with methods of conduct- ing carnivals, bingos and other fund raising programs. For a number of years, he was secretary-treasurer of the Whitby Minor Athletic As- sociation. Through it all, he has maintained due modesty and prides himself on being "just one of the boys" rather than a local figure of. importance. Though still a bachelor, Gord is no misogynist.
