Shaw's team of Clinton youngsters' are the 1948 Champ- ions of the Peewee baseball division of the Western Ontario Athletic Association. The kids won the, title and pos- session of the James Reynolds Trpohy by defeating Wingham in the final series for the title, three games to cne, Clinton won the first 'game at home 10-6, lost the second at Wingham 11-7, won the third at home 17-4, and won the fourth at Wingham 9-6. The local lads were billed to play Sarnia, champions of the Western Counties League, in the first round of the Ontario Base- ball Association playdowns, but Dr. Shaw decided differently. He figured that school was re -open- ing next week, that the boys had gone through the season, without injuries, and that the hop to Sar- nia was a long one, with possibly not much chance of going fur- ther in competition. The kids wins rest on their laurels as WOAA title-holders. Members of the team—Clinton's future ball players—as they play - 'ed in the final series with Wing- hame, are: Jack Moore, ss; "Rickey" El- liott, lb; Bill Carrick, 2b; Bob Carrick, Jr., p; "Tim" Colquhoun, c; John Hartley, If; "Ducky' Denoreme, rf; Murray Maltby, of Bob Germs, 3b; Jack Carter, spare. Clinton 17—Wingham 4 After losing the second game at Wingham Wednesday evening last by 11-7, Shaws were right on their toes for the third game here Saturday afternoon, winning in a walk by 17-4. They piled up eight runs in each of the second and fifth innings, and that was all there was to it! Bob Carrick fanned 12, walked two, and allowed only one hit, while Wingham used three twirl- ers. Combined they struck out five, walked eight and yielded six hits, including two each, by Bob Carrick and Maltby.

Irish Nine in their Huron -Perth Baseball League semi-finals OBA Intermediate "C" series. The second match of the best - two -of -three series will be play_ ed in Clinton Commumnity Park Friday evening at 5.45 p.m. sharp. A third game, if necessary, will take place on the same diamond on Monday next, Labor Day. Reason for the protest, lodged with League Secretary, Jack Tu- dor„ at Hensall, last night, was on the basis of insufflcinet police protection of the playing field and sundry other causes. Incidentally, the hard-hitting Colts, champions of the League during the regular schedule, were defeated 6-4 in a seven -inning embroglio. The southern Irishmen banged over five runs in the fourth to win the game. Hughie Hawkins' travellers snitched two in each of the fourth and sixth. Colts out - hit Lucan six to five, but appar- ently hit 'eni where 'they didn't mean most.

The management admitted us- ing one extra "Robertson," a re- cent arrival, in the match, with- out a playing certificate, and Sec- retary Jack Tudor, Hensall, edict - ed that the Clinton Airmen were suspended—Without the protest committee being called in to de- cide. Centralia then went on to meet Hensall in the semi-finals, and won the first game at Hen - sail last night 5-4. Clinton RCAF feel that they should have had a review of the situation before the protest com- mittee in that they claim that Martineau of Centralia, was in- eligible because of the July 15 residence rule. But "rules is rules" and "edicts is edicts." Clinton.

Although the Londesboro kids lost, they put up a good game and at one timeit looked as if they might beat the visitors, LISTOWEL LEGION DEFEATS COLTS IN GOOD SHOW Listowel Canadian Legion "B" and Clinton Colts "C" staged one of the nicest little exhibitions of priming baseball series you ever saw with the former winning both games, at home 6-5, and at Clinton Friday evening last 2-1. The match here Friday evening was "one of the best baseball games of the season—a nip -and - tuck affair, a pitchers' battle. Runs proved scarce as hen's teeth because real baseball was played for the entire seven innings. In four frames, Gordon Stock, Clinton's slowball curve artist, held the enemy to one run -an unearned one at that—although he allowed five safe hits. Auburn's Bob Craig came in in the fifth and held Listowel to one run on three safeties. In the meantime,. Listowel's fastball pitcher, Ken MacKenzie, was putting up a big battle, yield- ing one run on four safe hits, (Bartliff, White, Schoenhals, Craig). He also fanned nine, hit one and walked two. Johnny Bell, former Squadron Leader at 7:Tinton RCAF Station had a good time and figured his team a sure thing to beat Gode- rich Fliers, after they finish off the present WOAA championship series with Mildmay.
