They won the, title by defeating Harriston in the second and :final game 117. The Clinton team will now continue a- long the playoff trail in an attempt to cosi the 013A crown. Harriet= out -hit the local nine but their fielding left a lot, to be desired ,and the nine errors that they committed helped the Clinton cause no little. . Clare Maltby pitched his second straight game for the home club and was in no way responsible for his team's loss. He pitched a good game and led his team at bat with three hits in five times at the plate, 'Brother Murray Maltby was another star of the Harriston club and the Clinton Juveniles hold his. potent bat in high regard. Bob Garon was top Irian in the hitting department with a double and a triple, he scored three of his teams runs, Ricky Elliott 'smacked a double in the ninth, Clinton's only, other extra base knock, Harriston got off to .a good start scoring single runs in the first and second innings and two in the t.

Gross, rf TITL Dresdenllas t Juveniles. niles Win first Game g1-2 opes for Ontario � Clinton's la n baseball title took a severe jolt Iast Saturday afternoon when a. team from Dresden came to town to open the _OBA playdowns again- st the local Juvenile team. When they left the diamond there were many sad faces among Clinton rooters and you can hardly blame them, .as their favourites took a 21-2 shellacking .at the hands of the visiting Dresden nine. Every- one who saw the .game were con- vinced that the local team will give a better showing on the re- turn game that will be played this afternoon in Dresden. This game was one that the Juveniles would like to forget. Er- rors were .committeed by almost everyone on the team, even the most reliable players suffered from the disease. The only bright spot of the game was in the first inning when the locals jumped off to a two -run lead in the first inning. Clinton held this lead until the third when Dresden scored three runs, in the fifth the visitors ad- ded one more to make the score 4-2, then the roof fell in with Dresden counting four runs in the sixth, five in the seventh and eight big runs in the eighth. Wright not only limited Clinton to six hits but also led the attack on Ron Carter and Rick Elliott with three hits. Clinton's hits were accounted for by Hartley, Garon, Colquhoun, Carter, Elliott and De- nomme. Clinton Lions Juveniles, fresh from eliminating Elora, stepped in to the Harriston Juveniles and emerged with a 13-8 win that gave them a one -game lead in the best of three final series - for the WOAA Juvenile "C" championship. Ron Carter was on the hiII for Clinton and although he allowed nine hits was backed by a 14 -hit barrage and a better fielding dis- play. CIare Maltby, on the hill for Harriston, a former Clinton boy, was hit rather soundly but had he received good support could have made things interesting for the local nine. Clare and Murray Maltby collected five of the Har- riston hits. Harriston took a two -run Iead in the first inning but Clinton gat one back in the second and added four more•in each of the third and fourth innings to coast to the win. Murray Colquhoun led his mates at the plate for Clinton, hitting a home run, a triple, double and a single in five trips to the plate.

Jones Feted at Two Showers Recently About 25 friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mrs, Milton Wiltse, on ,Wednesday evening, August 26, to honour Miss Marion Jones prior to her mar- riage this month. Miss Gail Man- ning conducted a contest and led in a sing -song until Marion as.. rived. Completely taken by surprise Marion was seated in a gaily de- corated chair amid pink and white streamers, bells, balloons and flow- ers. Miss Shirley Cooper pinned a yellow gladioli corsage on the bride-to-be. The remainder of the evening was . spent with two humorous skits presented by Mrs. Alvin Bet- ties, Miss Jayne Mary Snell and Miss Betty Tait; a humorous read- ing by Mrs. Milton Wiltse; a piano duet by Misses Gail and June Manning and a contest given by Mrs. Cecil Elliott. To the call of alarm clocks, Marion found her gifts hidden in various places throughout the house. After opening them, Marion thanked her friends in a few well- chosen words. Marion was then presented with a bride's book made by Miss Shirley Cooper. A dainty lunch was served by the hostesses, Mrs. Milton Wiltse and Miss Gail Manning, assisted by Miss Shirley Cooper, Mrs. Ce- cil Elliott, and Mrs. Ross Merrill, Surprise Shower A surprise shower was held at the home of Mrs. Ivan Hoggart, on Monday evening, August 24, in honour of Miss Marion Jones, a September bride. Co -hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Percy Gibbings and Mrs. Neville Forbes. Twenty well- wishers were present. Marion was ushered into the dining room by Helen and when the lights were switched on all her friends who were awaiting her ap- pearance immediately began sing- ing "For She's A Jolly Good Fel- low." Pink streamers caught at the light above the table flowed to the four corners of the table cloth: A most artistic, imitation wedding cake, topped with a tiny bride and groom, was placed in the centre of the table. The cake held many of the gifts and the remainder were placed around the table amid con- fetti. After the bride -elect opened her many gifts and thanked her friends, a short programme was carried out consisting of a reading entitled, "Men". by Laura Forbes; a contest by Helen Hoggart, won by Etta Hoggart; two humorous readings enacted by Jayne Mary Snell, Bette Tait, Barbara Betties; a contest conducted by Marie Gibbings, won by Evelyn Merrill and Isobel Stewart.
