~ Sunday Game

L
“

The. New: Hazelton base ball team
: efented, ‘Hazelton -hoys by a score of
bt 5 on ‘Sunday afternoon. It wasn fC
what: ‘could be called: a snappy game,
in fact. it‘was featured with errors and
evidence of lack of practice on the part
of some of formerly reHable players.
The game was, however, good practice
and perhaps there will be more of them
before New Hazelton team has to de-|
fend its reputation against outside ball
teams, For New Hazelten Spud Wil-
Inn and Omer Spooner did the pitch-
ing while Bert Spooner played at. short
and third, and gave a good account of
himself at both places. The new pitch
ers held the Hazelton team down very
well, and elther of them may be use-
ful In the future. Charlie Patsie did
the pitching for. Hazelton and a. catch-
er "from. Glen Yowell did great swork
Debi’ ‘the: batt: ‘Patsie did not get: the
support in the field. to which he was
entitled and it: made it hard ‘for him to
hold the: New Hazelton boys down aS
he couid have otherwise. The catcher
from Glen. Yowell ‘knocked a home run
and there a number ‘of three paggers,
three~of avhich | “Bert Spooner hit out.
We is so fast ou his feet that he can
usaally stretch a_ two bagger into a

piloting side-slipped and plunged: into
Lake Savory. The young pilot took
off at Smithers with but twelve gal-
ions of gas, the plane being unable to
carry n greater load. Alt went well
until his gas grew threateningly low
and he was forced to land on the tiny
Lake Savory, adjoining McDonald
Lake. After refilling he attempted to
take off Lut the lake was too small ‘to
wet sufficient altitude, so Bisson tried
nu sharp bank. The plane then ‘struck

the lake, landing up side down, ‘The

~ Don. Spearman of B of Montreal, arrived |”

in New Hazelton last Saturday after-:
noon to be associated with the work at
the Silver Standard mine. He is a.
student at MeGill University and is
taking the mining engineering course.
He Is a son of the consulting engineer
for -the Cadillac Goll Mining Co., of
Montreal, and who will be consulting
engineer on the Silver Standard devel-
opment. .Don Spearman has thus far
found. everything here to his liking and
a8 soon as he completes his course at’
MeGill he intends to make this pro-
vince his home. The scenery he finds
gigantic, tremenduous, super this and
super that. The climate is so far’

his idea of heaven. But the mining is
what really canght him in a material
way. Anything he has had to do with
it in the past,has been in North Quebec’
and Northern Ontario where every-
thing in the way of development is by
way of shafts and only ufter working
in feet of muskeg. He is now seeing
his first mining by tunnels in 2 moun-
‘tain. He anticipates a wonderful sum-
mer at the Silver Stanard.
