It' certainly has been an up-
and-down series. The Airmen
and their supporters are hoping
it goes the whole route of seven
games; it will need to if they
are to win the title.
RCAF 14 --Baden 7
The visitors just couldn't do
anything right, and the Airmen
were right "on the beam" as the
latter trounced the Pirates 14-7
last night before the largest crowd
of the series thus far.
Murray Madsen was on the
mound for RCAF and did a good
chore. R. LeBlanc, centrefielder,
bit a homer and two singles in
five times up, and scored three,
runs.

Baden 6—Clinton RCAF 5
Baden Pirates and Clinto
RCAF dished up an excelle
brand of softball in the thi
game of the WOAA Intermedia
"B" finals on the RCAF Spo
Field diamond Saturday aft
noon, Baden taking a close de
cision by 6-5.
The victory gave Baden tw
victories to one defeat in th
four -of -seven- series. ,
The Airmen drew first bloo
with a pair of counters in the
first frame, when Hull single
Strachan and Wuttnee home, bu
they were held scoreless by La-
verne Miller until the last of the
ninth, when they pushed across
three runs and came within one
of evening the tally. The trio
were on two errors, a single, a
walk and couple of infield outs.
The final out decided the game.
With the tying run on third, Wut-
tnee belted one out to right field.
The rightfielder juggled the ball,
but he was well backed up by
the centrefielder who came in
from behind and made the catch,
thus saving his team-mates an er-
ror and possibly the game.
The visitors turned two walks,
a fielder's choice, a single, and
long fly into two runs in the
third for a lead, and then count-
ed two more on three safeties
and a two -run error in the sixth.

CLINTON LIONS
GET STARTED
ON YEAR'S WORK
Clinton Lions Club held its
opening dinner meeting of the
fall term in St. Peul's Parish
Hall Tuesday evening, with Presi_
dent J. George McLay presiding.
Piper Hector Kingswell started
things off in right good fashion
by piping in the members end
providing several selections later
on in the evening.
In his initial. speech, President
McLay appealed for cooperation
of the members and the public
during the coming year, particu-
larly with regard to the Fall
Frolic on October 1, and the
operation of the Lions Arene. He
hoped 'criticism would be con-
structive, and that this would be
the best year since the Club was
organized 12 years ago.
Hugh R. Hawkins and Basil B.
Pocklington, the Club's delegates,
reported on the 1948 Lions Inter-
national Convention which they
had ettended in New York City
in July. The 1949 Convention
will be held in the same city.
The Board of Directors report-
ed donation of $50 to Clinton
Citizens' Band, and $400 paid on
account to Clinton Public Hos-
pital for Nursery. Proceeds of
the draw at the Frolic will bring
the sum up to $800, it is hoped.
Committee reports were given
as follows: C. H. Epps, Frolic,
naming commttee personnel for
the event of • October 1; Lorne
Brown, 'Teen Town; W. H. Rob-
inson, Sight Conservation; Antoine
Garon, Boys end Girls, with spec-
ial reference to successful sum-
mer jaunts of 60 to 80 children
to the swimming pool at Seaforth
when several children learned to
swim; George B. Beattie, Tuber-
culosis Campaign (1,753 _x-rayed
here).

ed receiving several letters of
thanks and appreciation for food
parcels sent to Britain last spring
by Clinton Lions Club. One of
these frorh Prestwick, Scotland,
was read.It stated that the re-
cipient was an old lady in her
93rd year, who had been totally
blind for many years end was
very pleased to receive the parcel.
