Mitchell Win :First Two,
Can Eliminate Colts Friday
Legionettes In Group Finals
Oust Exeter in Three Games
Clinton Colts will have their
backs to the wall on Friday
evening when they journey
Mitchell for the third, arid what
could be the final game, of the
group finals. Mitchell is in the
oriver's seat because of victories
in the first two games played
this week and the Colts will
have to "shoot the works" or
hang up their spikes for the 1953
season.
The game last evening was a
good one from the spectators
viewpoint, with home runs and
plenty of close plays. Mitchell
showed too much polish for the
local nine as they outhit the
Clinton crew 12 to 8 and as usual
!made the most of ili--three Clin-
ton errors. The Colts might have
added at least two more runs but
erratic baie running cut two men
down at the plate and snuffed
out possible tallies.
Bert White, played a standout
game for the Legionnaires, but*
it was another man, who has
been a thorn in Clinton's side in
hockey wars, Bobby Gaul, who
provided the big punch. Gaul
not only pounded out a lusty
homer over the left field fence
in his first appearance at the
plate, but he drove in 'another
run In the seventh with a triple
?to deep centre field and scored
three runs himself.
Bud Schoenhals' mighty 360-
foot poke over the fence in centre
field in the fourth, gave the Cline
ton fans something to shout
about, but it was not enough to
inspire his teammates on to
victory.
Game To Be Protested
The Clinton team are planning
a protest of the game last even-
ing because of the late arrival of
some of the Mitchell players. The
game was scheduled to get under
way at 0.30 p.m. but did not get
started until after 6.15 p.m. As
a result only seven innings were
competed.

With Bert White engineering
three double plays and batting
three for five, the Mitchell Leg-
ionnaires took the measure of the
Clinton Colts 9-4 to jump into a
one-game lead in the best of five
series for the Huron-Perth Int-
ermediate "C" group title on
Monday evening.

Kipper* Gun Club

and were full value for their win.
They made few mistakes and
capitalized on every Clinton er-
ror. Ken Hulley held the locals
to seven hits, pitching good ball,
although the three double plays
helped him out of threatening
situations.
Never Headed
The Legionnaires took a two-
run lead in the first frame and
were never headed from that
point. Bert White beat out a hit
to short with Johnny Wilson mak-
ing a fine stop, Rohfritsch and
Allen walked and Walther blast-
ed a single to centre scoring two
men. Mitchell added another in
the second; two in the fourth
after a Clinton error, that would
have been a third out, allowing
Bert White to single and Rohfrit-
sch to double, scoring Chessel
and White. Again in the sev-
enth loose fielding accounted for
three more Mitchell runs.
Clinton managed to dent the
plate in only two innings. They
scored two runs in the third when
Bartliff and Woodcock walked;
Wilson advanced them to second
and third; Craig laced a two-run
single to right centre. Draper
struck out, McEwan singled, bulk
with two men on Hulley fanned
Taylor to end the rally. Two
more men came home in the
fifth on Woodcock's walk and
doubles by Craig and McEwan.
The game featured a rhubarb in
the seventh inning when Wood-
cock was called safe sliding into
third. Bill Gatenby protested too
violently and was banished from
the game by umpire Hearn, and
Jack White, of Stratford Indian
hockey fame, took his plate.

Bayfield Fire lirigade,
Called to Farm Fire
Bayfield Fire Brigade answered
the first call for months on Wed-
nesday August 20, when a straw
stack at Harvey Taylor's caught
fire and threatened the barn a
few feet away. The alarm was
turned in about seven o'clock and
they were soon on the scene.
Brucefield Fire Brigade also ar-
rived and they soaked the stack
with water and then moved it out
into a field to prevent any further
hazzard to the barn.
