Clinton Lions Juveniles are the
Juvenile C WOAA baseball
champions for 1054. 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,

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.

Travel To Niagara
"Four bus loads (150 people) of
Huron County Soil and Crop Im-
provement members and their
wives made a tour of .the Niagara
Peninsula on Friday, August 28,"
reports H. R. Baker, assistant _ag-
ricultural representative for Huron
County.
"At this time most of the
threshing in the county is com-
pleted and reports of high yields!
are quite common. Corn is making
excellent growth throughout the
county and some very excellent
quality second -cut hay is being put
into the barn due to rapid early
growth and ideal curing weather.
"Those who have started thein
fall ploughing are finding a lack of
moisture is making the work very
difficult."

Miss Marion. 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. A most delic-
ious lunch was served.
