Seaforth got one of their few runs in the first off one of their ten hits, Clinton tied it up in the first and rallied in the second inning for 13 runs from four singles three doubles. The Juveniles then scored four more runs in the third, three in the fifth, five in the sixth, three in the seventh and to top it off, 10 more runs in the eighth. Seaforth scored their second and third runs in the seventh inning, one in the eighth and one in the nineth,, In the pitching department, DonMacDonald got the win striking out 13. Eisler for Seaforth got the loss before being pulled by Bennet after about twenty runs and Rick Welch gets credited with save after relieving MacDonald in the eighth. Clinton out hit Seaforth 29-4 with every Clinton player get- ting at least one hit. The juveniles played their second game last Sunday, beating SeafOrth by a simple score of 8-3 in Seaforth. Clinton opened the scoring in the second inning when Ray Burns base hit pitcher Eisler scoring Victor Kennedy. The Juveniles made it 2-0 in the third inning when Mike Anstett rapped a double into left field and Greg Butler hit Ansteet home. Seaforth didn't score until BY JANET The Clinton Junior girls*soft- ball team opened their playoffs last Friday night as they soun- dly defeated Dublin 12 to 6 to take a one to 0 lead in the best of three series. The second game was Wed- nesday August 14. Saturday and Sunday, the girls competed in a tournament in Wiarton. The_ team placed third, but were ripped off by'llie unipires in bath their games. As we arrived on the ball field Saturday the entire crowd of 150 booed us continually. To show their bad sportsmanship, Sandra Fremlin hit four homeruns in that game and three people from the stands clapped to show their ap- preciation of a well hit ball. Despite the umpires, we came from behind to defeat Walker- ton to advance to the semi- finals. The other teams refused to play against us if we wore spikes because we would hurt someone. In Sunday's game, we were again hurt by the umpires, as they time and time again made bad calls. One of our players hit a fly ball to the left field and hit the line as the ball jum- ped. The umpire called it a foul ball and he told us it hit the outside of the line, therefore it was foul. We lost that game by I. RED CHILI 2. KEYSTONE HEATHER 3. NORLEA'S PRIDE 4.

In the fifth, Clinton, scored the third and fourth as Cook and Colquhoun carne across the plate on two hits. Seaforth scored their second final runs The Clinton Colts took a commanding lead in their six game round-robin playoff series with three consecutive wins in the past week. The Colts chances of gaining one of the two top spots for a best-of-three playoff to see who would be the O'.B,A. represen- tative for the Huron-Perth league, seems to be the brightest, as they stand with a 3-0 record. The next top team is Exeter with a 2-1 record, while Arva is third with a 1-2 record and the Thorndale Angels, who trail the field with a 0-3 record, could have been eliminated last night if the COlts defeated them. Last Wednesday night, Colt Pitcher Stew Mustard struck out 12 Thorn- dale batters while allowing only two runs on seven hits, all of them singles, The Colts scored their six runs on nine hits as Greg Burns, Brad Dutot and Cal Fremlin each had two of them. Other hits went to Dan Colquhoun, with a double, ,Doc Miller and Stew Mustard each had singles. On Friday night pitcher Ed one run and were eliminated from further play. A special Lhank you goes to the convener of the tournament - Bev. McKinnon 'of Wiarton, as she made us feel at home. Also to our coaches, Ruby, Rick and Graham for their help. Someone suggested if the other team felt good about beating, Clinton the way they did, then we felt sorry for them and were glad we had lost': Pee-weer • advance The Clinton Pee Wees opened their 1974 playoff schedule on Saturday Aug. 11 and with only nine players on the roster, clobbered Wingham 24-9. Pitcher Robbie Blake fanned 11 Wingham batters, while allowing seven hits. Hot bat- smen for Clinton were D. Willis-craft, J. Ball, I. Fleming, R. Blake and J. Proctor. On Tuesday Aug. 13 they ousted Wingham from further play with a convncing 13-8 vic- tory. Once again, Blake dominated the game striking out 12 Wingham batters. The Pee Wees now advance to play Thursday in Crediton and Saturday at 2 p.m. at home. Support would be ap- preciated. ATTORNEY JOE 2. LOCKINVAR HEATHER 3. CARRY ON SYL 4.

Clinton rallied in the ninth, getting four runs off hits from Cook, Coiquhown, MacDonald, and Burns, Pan Colquhoun pitcher for 'Clinton, allowing six hits to Clintons 13. Deer allowed only one Exeter hit in his four innings before having to leave, Reliever Cam- McDonald came on in the fifth inning to do a fine job, striking out nine batters allowing Exeter's only three runs to come in the sixth inning on three consecutive doubles. The Colts got off to a fast start as Greg Burns, Archie Pickett, Dan Colquhoun and Dave Fawcett hit consecutive singles in the first inning to score two runs. In the fotirth inning Don Bartliff got things off rolling again as, he led off with a base hit and Carl Fremlin pushed him onto third with a base hit. Doc Miller then walked and Greg Burns knocked in two runs with a base hit and scored on Archie Pickett's single. The Colts scored their other four runs in the seventh and eighth innings to make it a final score of 11-3 and their second victory in the playoffs, On Sunday, the Colts stalled several Arva threats to down the Athletics 7-4 despite gale force winds which hindered play. Dave Fawcett, Don Bar- tliff and Butch Fleet accounted for knocking in six of the seven Clinton runs. Starting pitcher Brad Dutot was going well until opposing pitcher Jeff Craig drilled a two strike pitch over the right field fence. This brought on a superb relief performance by Stu Mustard who allowed only one run which came in the ninth in- ning with one out, The Colts got a break in the first inning when Cal Fremlin hit an easy chopper back to Craig who threw it away. Dave Fawcett then drilled a double down the right .field line to :F•score Vern 1 i Then" Don'13ar- t1 i ff folldWed with a' double down the left field line to score Fawcett for the second Colt run. The Colts got two more runs in the fourth and fifth innings and one more in the ninth in- ning on a lead-off home-run over the ,entre-field fence into the wind. Butch Fleet, who recently returned to the line-up after being out with a broken wrist, played superbly; hitting two singles and having two walks. The Colts were outhit for the first. time this 'year 14-10 as leading Colt hitters were Dave Fawcett with a single, double and homerun, Don Bartliff with'a double and single, Butch Fleet two singles. Other Colt hitters were Cal Fremlin, Paul Bartliff and Stu Mustard. The Colts next home game is Friday night at. 8 p.m. against Arva and they then travel to Exeter Sunday for a 2:00 p.m. game. Although crowds are starting to pick up some, they are still not anywhere near what. they could be. For a town that boasts four Ontario Champion- ship teams in the last three years, crowds are pitiful. The sad part of it is, the people that travel to distant towns boast of these feats that our fair town has accomplished and nine times out of 10, they have maybe been to only a game or two in the past few years. The baseball teams in this town play a good calibre of ball and it's time people gave some support instead of seeing the old faithfuls at each game, The Clinton Soccer Club remained undefeated in Third Division League play when they easily defeated London Hellas 6-3 at the arena field on Sun- day, Clinton opened the scoring in the first few minutes when a weak shot from Wayne Fulcher slipped through the goalkeeper hands and ended up in the net. Brian Jewitt put Clinton two goals up when another lucky shot eluded the goalkeeper and shortly afterwards, the score was 3.0 when a Hellas defender shot into his own net. Clinton, playing with the confidence and poise lacking in their previous game, found over confidence their near downfall when Hellas came back and scored a few minutes before half time to make it 3-1 at the turn. The second half became a scrappy, haphazard affair with Clinton looking like they were on a Sunday picnic. Fortunately • fdr Clinton' there was little opposition and they moved the ball at will. Jewitt had no trouble adding his second goal to make the score 4-1, but again Hellas came back and took advantage of a defensive lapse to make the score 4-2. Clinton started to realize the game could be lost and started to play good passing soccer which resulted in Jewitt's hat- trick. A fine goal on a break away by Hellas made the score 5-3 Minor soccer In minor soccer games on the weekend three teams lost and our lone winners were the atoms. The Clinton pee-wees lost 4-2 t6 Pinery Panthers. Jeff Gib- bings and Steve Johns scored for Clinton. In mosquito action, the Stingers went down 5.2 to Goderich Beavers. Ray Dllas got both Clinton goals. The Cougars lost 9-1 to St. Columban with Tony Gibbings getting the lone goal. Clinton (atom) Sharks defeated Seaforth on Friday evening by a 6-1 score. Goal scorers were Paul Stephenson, Brad Forbes and Tim Addison with one goal each and Sean Van Dongen ad- ding three more for his hat trick but it was 'Doc' (Tim) Ad- dison who dazzled the Seaforth team with his fancy footwork (and elbows). There will be no practice this Thursday for the Sharks. The Clinton Kinette Bantam girls softball team opened their first game of the play-offs on August 6th with a 16.10 loss to Monkton. The local girlscame right back, and on .August 6th in Monkton, Clinton drupped them 21,1 with all the girls playing ex- At the Vanastra Gun Club's trap shoot on August 7, Al Green of Clinton hit 24 out of 25 targets to take home the top shooter of the day award, Eric Collins of Clinton was second with 23 hits, and Art McDougall of Goderich was third with 22 hits. The top three were followed by Bob Orr of Bayfield with 21, Mery Batkin of Clinton with 19, Murray Grigg of Clinton . and Ashley Gilbert of Goderich with 18 each, Harold Smith of Seaforth with 17, Wayne Smith of Exeter and Jim Hogg of Seaforth with 16 each, and Greg Potter of Goderich and Tom Phillips of Seaforth with 15 each. At the skeet shoot last Satur- day, Allan Turner of St. Marys had the top score with 24 out of 25 hits. He was followed by Glen Moak of Bornholm with 22, Harrison Schock of Zurich, Mery Batkin of Clinton, Tom Allen of Londesboro and, Bob cellpt ball.Monkton became a bit discouraged and forfeited the game in the top of the fifth inning, With the series tied at one game apiece, the third game will be played in Clinton tonight at 7 p.tn, and the girls wish that everyone would come out and support them. Orr of Hayfield each hit 21 targets. Next came Dave Schlemmer of Stratford with 19. Paul Wheeler of Clinton with 18 and Ashley Gilbert of Goderich with 16.
