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.

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.
