+lip Mitchell 4-3
MacDonald Hurls Three -Hitter
Coming up with three big runs
in their half of the sixth and final
inning, Clinton Juniors edged Mit-
chell 4=3here last Thursday night
The game was a great one from
the first pitch with the localkids
out -playing their more experienced
opponents in every department
Bill MacDonald was back on the
mound and pitched brilliantly. Ile
allowed but three puts and struck
out seven.
MacDonald was backed by an
eight -hit attack that looked as
though it wouldn't b'e enough until
the sixth, Murray Colquhoun pac-
ed' the Clinton team at the plate
., with a single and a triple that
provided the spark in the three -
run sixth. Mary Shantz, "Buck"
Bowers also collected two hits
Chessel was the Mitchell power-
house with a long ,triple to right,
and a single. Sadler connected
for a timely single in the.third to
drive in two runs.
Clinton opened the scoring in
the first inning. Shantz led off
by beating out an infield roller
for a single. Sadler fired the ball
over the first baseman's head and
Shantz moved to second. A pas -
led ball advanced the runner to
third and Buck Bowers cracked a
sharp single over short to drive
in the run. Mitchell took the lead
in the third with two runs. Aick-
ens was safe on an error by Hart-
ley, Pauli fanned, Elliott walked.
Colquhoun advanced the runners
with a perfect bunt sacrifice. Sad-
ler came through. in big league
fashion with a single to score El-
liott and Aickens. The Legionaires
got their third run in the fourth
on Chessel's long triple to the
racetrack in right, and a passed
ball.
Clinton batters were hitting Bill
Gatenby but they couldn't bunch
their blows until the sixth. In
the big inning, Bill MacDonald
was safe on an error. Riek Elliott
bounced one back to the pitcher
Who threw MacDonald out at sec-
ond, Elliott beating the relay.
Murray Colquhoun belted a lusty
triple down the left field foul line
to score Elliott. Bob Carter
smacked a two and nothing pitch
to second, Aickens attempted to
cut down Colquhoun at the plate
but Murray slid under the tag and
both runners were safe. Gerry
Holmes and Shantz both singled
'to load the bases. Tom Colquhoun
batted for Ken Porten and popped
to short. Buck Bowers walked to
force in Carter with the winning
Tun.
Fielding gena of the game went
to Murray Colquhoun who speared
a sinking tine drive off Bill 'Gat
enby's bat leading off in the sixth.

Averages Increase
•
As Juniors
Near Playoffs
The Clinton Junior baseball
team 'have increased their team
average by 23 percentage points
during the past week. ` If this is
an indication of things to come
then opposing pitchers may be in
for a startling surprise when they
face the usual light -hitting Clin-
ton nine.
Buck Bowers, who has only play-
ed in a few games, is certainly
doing his part to help his team-
mates. Buck has been at the
plate seven times officially and
has three hits for a high .429
average. Mary Shantz, also a new-
comer to the Clinton camp, is belt-
ing the apple to the merry tune
of .351.
Bob McDonald who has been
battling for top spot for most of
the season' with his namesake, Bill
MacDonald, is finding his vacation
very profitable. Bill failed to get
a hit against Mitchell and his
average dropped to .300, four
points back of Bob.
Murray Colquhoun had his best
game of the season and jumped
from ninth position last week to
a tie for fifth spot with Gerry
Tebbutt who has been out of the
lineup for several weeks.

New Alarm System
Occasioned By
New Dial Phones
A new system for handling fire.
alarms will be inaugurated with
the coming of dial telephones in
Clinton next April, according to
Councillor N. W. Trewartha.
Speaking at Council meeting on
Tuesday evening, Mr. Trewartha
outlined a talk he had with Mr.
Haddy of the Bell, Telephone Com-
pany.
At present the fire call goes
directly to the operators, and they
are responsible for turning in the
alarm by meansof the siren. With
the coming of dial, the oberators
will not be. needed'.. ,
The new system will call for
special one-way telephones in the
houses of four or five of the fire-
men, which will receive alarms
when the fire alarm number is
dialled by.,any person reporting a
fire. Then the. firemen will be
responsible for turning on the
siren,
As Mr. Trewartha predicted; the
system will be a little more expen-
sive than the present one, but
there is no alternative with the
dial phones, and it will be an im-
provement oyer the method now
used,

Dashwood Tigers
Near Huron -Perth
Ball Championship
For the second straight year
the Dashwood Tigers look like the
best team in the T-Iuron-Perth
Baseball League. At present, they
are in a tough fight for first place
with Exeter, but with two games
left to play to the Mohawk's one,
the Tigers should take home the
Supertest Shield, emblematic of
the league title. The Tigers sport
the very impressive record of 13
wins and five loses. They started
out the season rather slowly and
at the end of June had a very
mediocre five and five record and
were tied for third place. Then
they caught fire and have not been
defeated since June 22. Their two
games left to play are with Clin-
ton and a postponed contest with
Auburn.
Exeter Mohawks could reach
first spotebut it is expected that
they will settle for the second
rung. The remainder of the stand-
ing has yet to be decided.
Clinton Juniors pulled up into
a tie with Auburn on the bottom
rung. Each team has won four
games and tied two. Zurich. and
Mitchell are also tied but the
Legionaires have more games to
play than the Lumberkings.

Bayfield People
Visit East Shore
Of Lake Huron
(Continued from Page One)
to be a nice little town with a
one street shopping district. There
is a lighthouse offshore, 'there
were many small boats in the
water, and it appeared to be a
popular summer resort.
From this point on the Thumb,
they turned and went straight
south, through flat bean country—
a very prosperous section—to Bad
Axe, (pop. 2,973). It_ is the bean
centre. It has a large courthouse
in the park and many stores.
Then they went back to Forest-
ville, and re -traced their route to
Port Huron and home via the Blue
Water Highway. In all their trip
they saw nothing to compare with
Bayfield and Goderich for beauty,
spaciousness or harbour facilities.
The shore -line is very ]ow on the
Michigan side, and the harbours
are man-made.
Everywhere they stopped, they
inquired if anyone had ever seen
lights from the Canadian side.
They didn't strike anyone who
had, and most persons looked at
them in amazement, and said that
it would be impossible.
NeVerthe(ess, Mr. and Mrs, Path
now think that sometimes the
lights they see are not mirages,
but due to very clear atmosphere
—just as when people have seen
Kettle Point from Bayfield often
over the years. ,
