They did it by defeating London Rae Jay's 13-4 on Friday night, Dashwood Tigers 7-3 on Sunday and Thorndale Angels 15-5 on Monday night.' With these three wins the Colts record now stands at six wins'' and eleven losses. At Clinton on F• riday evening, the Colts got revenge on the Rae J's from a previous 13-4 beating by beating them by an identical score. Don MacDonald pitched a brilliant game, mixing his fast ball with the curve in striking out 15 batters,. The Colts jumped off to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning on successive singles by Don MacDonald, Dan Colquhoun and Cal Fremlin. In the second they picked up two more runs on walks to Carl Good, Don MacDonald and a single by Paul Bartliff. The Rae J's scored all their runs in' the fourth inning to take a 4-3 lead. They sent ten men to the plate, in the inning and left the bases loaded when the smoke had cleared. This was the only inning that MacDonald looked shy, but coach • Cam MacDonald stuck to his ace right hander. After the shaky fourth, the 'Colt batters came to life by scoring a run in the fourth to tie it at 4-4. A double by Dan Colquhoun and a single* by Cal Frernlin knotted the score. Two walks in the fifth and a single by Carl Good broke the tie with two runs. Clinton scored another run in the sixth inning ..on walks to Fremlin, Butch Fleet and. a double by Greg Burns. But the roof fell in on the Rae J's pitching staff when the Colts erupted for six runs in the bottom of the eighth to put the game out of reach. In the inning, the Colts gathered five hits with Don MacDonald, Cal Frernlin, 'Naturally speaking By Steve Cooke Perching off a. dock can be a lot of fun and can provide some healthy entertainment for children of all ages. The yellow bellies, as they are often referred to, inhabit many waters throughout Ontario and are fairly easy to catch. • All kids like to catch fish, and they generally don't care what kind or how big they are. Perch are abundant, and if there's lots of action, it may be difficult to pry your youngsters free of the dock to take them home. The fact'that perch are delicious is an added incentive to "fill that stringer". One of the nice things about perch fishing is that no specialized equipment is. needed. Any type of fishing pole from the old bamboo cane to your most sophisticated spinning outfit will do. The most common setup used consists .of two hooks and an extra large sinker. Tie the sinker on the line with the two hooks spaced out about one and a half feet apart and the same distance above the sinker. Bait up with worms or min- nows and you're in business. ''Some people prefer to hook their minnows through the lips, but I have always 'h -ad better luck hooking there through the back just un- derneath the dorsal fin. This seems to allow the perch to take the bait better, and insures more hits -than misses. When using worms, I've had the best luck just using a piece about one inch long that covers the point of the hook well. • The rig can be fished either using a "tight line" or a "slack line". If a tight line is used, every little tap and nibble can be felt. The slack line also produces fish, but the perch seem to take and swallow the bait resulting in more firmly hooked fish. This makes it easier for the youngster to land his fish,.but it also reduces the possibility of releasing undersized fish. If the novice fisherman feels secure using a bobber, by all means use one. The bobber gives the youngster something to watch and is a good indicator of bites. Use the same double hook setup, but keep as much line out as is possible below the' float. One last tip. If the fish are biting well and you are looking for a little more action, try fishing with a small Mepp's spinner or small spoon. The lure often singles out the larger fish, and a one pound perch can be pretty scrappy on the end of • a long line. 01 vim.

At Dashwood 'on Sunday afternoon, the Colts finally gained a little bit of revenge on the Tigers by beating them this season for the first ,;time 7-3.,Dan Colquhoun gained his first victory of the season on the mound for the Colts. He was continuously in trouble, but managed to pitch his best when the going was tough. He struck out seven batters but the most important aspect of the game he left 15 Tiger runners stranded on base.

Cam MacDonald started on the mound for the Colts,°but had to give way to Don Bartliff in the third as he developed arm troubles. The Colts struck fast in this game also as they scored two runs in first inning. Back to back walks to Cal Fremlin and Dave Bartliff and a single by Cam MacDonald produced two runs. The Colts jumped the score to 7-0 with five more runs in the second on only one hit. Four walks, an error and a three run double by Greg Burns produced two runs. Thorndale got three runs back in the third inning as MacDonald"ran into ' sore arm troubles. Don Bartliff came on to put out any further rally.

Come out and support your Colts as they en- tertain' the Tillsonburg Red Sox. Smile Acupuncture must really work. Have you ever seen a sick 'por- cupine? The first few days in the pool can be a little frightening until you get used to the deep water. The beginners' class at the Clinton pool obviously thought so and kept close to the edge during their swimming class. The few brave souls who ventured out into deeper waters didn't seem to be enjoying themselves too much.
