It was an excellent, hard-fought game by both teams, who seemed evenly matched on the eve of the opening of the Ontario Baseball Association playoffs. Tim McLean of the Colts. and Kenline of the Senators pitched very good ball, with McLean suffering the loss. The Senators took a 1 - 0 lead in the first inning on a home run by Jim Mudford, and extended their lead to 4 - 0 with single runs in the second, third and fifth innings. After the fifth, however, McLean threw an ex- cellent game until Walsingham scored their winning run in the top of the overtime tenth. Trailing 4 - 0 in the sixth, lead-off batter Doc Miller of the Colts reached first on an error. After the next two batters struck out, Don MacDonald and Don Bartliff bit back to back singles scoring Miller with the first Colt run. In the seventh, the Colts added two more runs to make the score 4 - 3. Butch Fleet started the rally off by reaching second on a two base error. Paul Bartliff then singled scoring Fleet, and after Richard Welch reached first on an error, Don Bartliff drove in brother Paul from second with the third run. Clinton tied the game 4 - 4 in the eighth when McLean singled, went to second on a ground out, and scored when Greg Burns singled to left centre. However, Walsingham won the game in the tenth on two singles and a game winning double, driving in the lead run to make the final score 5 - 4. Each team gathered 11 hits. Greg Burns, Don MacDonald, and 'Don Bartliff led the Colt hitting attack with two hits each, while singles were picked up by Dan Colquhoun, Doc Miller, Paul Bartliff, Richard Welch; and Tim McLean. In Thorndale last Naturally speaking. By Steve Cooke Attention fishermen! Let's get with it! As most of you probably know, every year the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, in con- junction with Molson's Breweries Ltd., sponsor the "Molson's" Big Fish Contest. Surely you've seen the entry forms in stores, sporting goods shops and service stations across the province. It would appear to the sponsors, however, that few people are picking them up and having a look at them. At the last report, only about 70 entries have been submitted. With cash prizes being offered for the top 15 entries in each category, and there being nine categories, in total there are actually 135 cash prizes available. With only 70 entries•to date, that means that so far virtually every entry is a cash winner. The most afnazing thing is that the Smallmouth Bass category has only one entry, while the Largemouth Bass and Salmon categories have no entries whatsoever. With a total of $4,500 in cash prizes available, I find this Pack of interest very strange indeed. Even if your entry doesn't win a cash prize, for every fish submitted over the specified weight, you'll receive a Molson's Honour Certificate. A quick rundown of the top fish in each category is as follows: Maskanonge,38 lbs.by John Kressall of Sioux Lookout, Ontario; Lake Trout, 40 lbs. 91/2 oz. by Ted Vardalos of Winnipeg, Man; Northern Pike, 25 lbs. 8 oz. by Jeffrey Reagan of West Allis, Wis; Walleye, 15 lbs. 3 oz. by Sue Burkey of Hartville, Ohio; Largemouth Bass, none, . Smallmouth Bass, only one entry at 5 lbs. 12 oz. by Claudine Fuhran, Bethlehem, Penn. (there are lots bigger fish than that in the Maitland) ; Brook Trout, (4 entries only) 7 lbs. 31/2 oz. by Dick Facca, Thunder Bay; Rainbow Trout, 20 lbs. I/4 oz. by Harold Gross, Wasaga Beach, Ontario, and Salmon, none. As you can see, only three Ontario Residents hold top place so far in all of the categories, yet all the fish caught must come from Ontario waters. All fish caught, up to November 30, 1978, are eligible, so get an entry form now. If you can't find one locally, write to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, P.O. Box 28, Peterborough, Ontario K9J 6Y5. While you're at it, ask for a membership ap- plication form and read up on the organization.. The O.F.H.A. is 50 years old, has 18,000 members and is dedicated to the issues of true and meaningful conservation. But, even if you don't want to join, get out there and get fishing. One of those cash prizes might just have your name on it. J advertisement Bill Counter is seen checking his stock of J.M. Fiberglass insulation at his Cash & Carry Building Supply yard. Insulation is readily available now and Bill Suggests anyone an- ticipating supplementing his existing insulation "do -it -now" when prices are attractive and avoid problems when the "Fall Rush" occurs with its attendant slow delivery and resulting price increases. J. M. Fiberglass batts are available up to 9" (R 28) and anyone who has increased his attic insulation knows the favourable effect this has on the heating bill. The Provincial Government encourages its use as well by exempting insulation from Salelax. Bill advises owners of older homes to check with him concerning Federal Government assistance. Thursday night, the Colts had run their unbeaten streak to nine ,games when they shut out the Angles 6 - 0 behind the masterful pitching of Don Bartliff, who allowed only four hits, struck out five, and didn't allow any walks in going the whole distance. Robert "Doc" Miller was the hitting star for the Colts, as he .smashed his sixth and seventh homers of the season. Miller currently leads the Huron -Perth league in four baggers with only two games left in the schedule. Greg Burns -also chipped in with a solo shot. Even though the Colts only managed eight hits in the entire game, they made the most of them by the use of the long ball. Catcher Butch Fleet, for instance, came within several inches of hitting the fourth homer of the game when he blasted a ground rule double that hit the top of the fence. Burns, Fleet, and Miller each had two hits while Dan Colquhoun, Dave Bartliff and Richard Welch had one each. The Colts' final two .games of the season were played against the London Athletics on Tuesday night and in Byron pn Wednesday night,, as the Colts ready for the playoffs. Who says you have to go to a major league ball park to watch excellent baseball? Not the two dozen fans who turned out last Friday night to see the Clinton Colts battle the Walsingham Senators in one. of the best ball games seen in these parts in some time. Here Clinton catcher Butch Fleet watches a Walsingham player hammer out a single during third Inning action. As the Colts were nipped 5-4 in 10 innings.

Lester Soccer club loses first By Rosemary Avmstrong The Clinton Soccer Club suffered its first defeat of the season playing away from home against league leading Strathroy New Canadians on- Sunday July 30 when the team went down by a 4-1 score. Clinton started the game full of deter mination- and with only three and a half minutes played, 'went ahead with, a great goal from Danny Colquhoun who took a pass from"Pete Wise and blasted an 18 -yard shot into the Strathroy net. The team gained in confidence and was in command of the game until ten minutes later, a bad bounce of the ball tied the game for Strathroy "`an"d" only minutes after that a corner kick found its way somehow through a maze of players in the goal mouth and ended up in the net to put Strathroy ahead by 2-1. The league leaders never looked back and took complete control of the game playing some very entertaining and excellent soccer. Good goaltending from Jueyen Hellman prevented the score from being greater but evento, Strathroy added two more goals to make the final sc.ore.4.1 and it looks like nobody will stop this new entry in the league from moving up to Second Division next season. This being a holiday weekend, there is no le'npue seh'duled mime, Instead Clinton hosts its 4th Annual Centennial Tournament on Saturday Aug. 5 with teams from Strathroy, Goderich, St. Columban, London and the host team, competing for the Clinton Hotel Centennial Trophy in games starting at 10 a.m. A full day's schedule is planned' with some great soccer anticipated so come out and see some of the action at the Clinton Community Park. No volunteers, • no .iuntors Unless the Clinton Junior "C" hockey club can come up with more volunteers to run their operation, there will be no Junior hockey in town this year. The club must have a new executive selected this week and an ap- plication submitted to the Ontario Hockey Association by the first of next• week, or count themselves out of the running for the coming hockey season. Former manager Larry Daw said that unless enough people volunteer to help with the club at a meeting set for tonight . (Thursday) at 7:45 at the Clinton arena,. then the operation will fold, President Clarence Neilans said he had called several meetings earlier in July but nobody showed up and a mid-July deadline for team entry came and went without any action. Mr. Daw said it cost upwards of $20,000 a year to run the club which draws players mainly from Clinton and Goderich in central Huron County. / 1 SUPERIOR MUFFLER ANNOUNCES THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR TEAM!
