The Nabobs had no trouble in winning
their game yesterday from the Domes-
tics, whom they turned down by a large
score. The pitching of Schaffer was too
speedy. and the Domestics were unable
to connect with his curves. They were
retired for only one safe hit, which fol-
lowed a base on balls for Meyers, and
both runners were scored. The ball was
driven by Perkins to centre field for a
home run. The Nabobs pounded out
singles and doubles until the Domestics
were tired chasing the leather. The
game was won in the first inning.

to have a cycle path built through the
centre of this city to the Boulevard Tho
officers of the association do not believe
in cycle paths, however, and strongly
object to any such plan, saying they would
rather make efforts to nave portions of
the roads repaired. The Executive Com

Which has sent the membership to over
400. The association is making every
effort to nave well paved streets from the

lain they have not enough money to
carry out the improvement. They offered
to asphalt some streets, and put in a, five
foot strip of asphalt on each side of
some of the others. but the association
refused to consider such a pronosition.
