Eliminate Hensall Team colts Mildmay Start `To -Night In Two Straight Games C>i • (Bystaff reporter) After defeating Hensall twice during the regular season, Clin- ton Colts took Jack Tudor's lads out in two straight in the group finals to decide which team would represent the Huron -Perth Base- ball League in the OBA Inter- mediate "C' playdowns. Colts 8—Hensall 5 Hensall made it very interest- ing for Colts down at Hensall Monday evening, and kept on fighting until the bitter end. Hen- sall threw a scare into the Colt forces .in the second frame when they went into a 4-3 lead, but Colts 10---Hensall 3 Too much all-round power brought victory to Clinton Colts in their . first Huron -Perth Base- ball League final match with Hensall in Clinton Community Park Friday evening last before a large crowd. Colts banged out an early lead in the second and third frames, and then coasted to an easy vic- tory. It took only 1.41 for eight - end -a -half innings of play. The game got away in good time and finished just after seven, despite one delay through argument in the fifth, that is the closest they ever got This, tied up closely with Hen - to winning. A 5-5 tie continued sail's only counters. With two until the first of the seventh, out, Corbett and Boussey singled and then Colts added one in each of the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. It was Colts' homerun belting that won the game. Neilans knocked one in the first with White ahead of him.. "Bud" Schoenhals banged one in the second with no one aboard, and Bob Draper made sure of the decision with one into the bushes in the first of the ninth. The Colt Manager last was "the blow that killed father," . because with it, . the game seemed to be all over but the cheering. • 'O'wo Twirlers Bob Draper started on the mound for Colts, but when he loaded the bases with two out in the second, walking the third man, Manager Hugh Hawkins took him out and put him in right field, replacing Bill Cook. Bob Craig took the mound and went un to win, although Bruce Glenn, the next batter up, laced a stinging single through third to left field, scoring all three runner,s Tudor, Joynt and Hor- ton when Neilans let the ball past him, Glenn himself romped home on Corbett's single to make 'Hensall'stotal for the frame stand et four. Bob Sadler was in good form on the hill for Hensall, but he just couldn't handle the Clinton homerun kings—Nellans, Draper and Schoenhals. Their wicked Pelting had hiin baffled. He ex- ercised marvelous control, walk- ing nor hitting nary a one. Great was credited with one of the things should come from this cheapest homers that anyone ever young men in the baseball world. got in any park. Art Woodcock eturned from The point at issue was whether in succession. Mickle came to the plate and bounded one along the third base line, the ball then scurrying into the outfield, and the three runners scampering fast for home. Leftfielder Neilans figured the ball was fowl and made no move to retrieve it . Meanwhile the runs crossed the pan, and Mickle HUGH R.
