Clinton -Colts Clinton Colts are still in there battling for the Ontario Baseball Association Intermediate "C' championship. After taking out Mildmay, WOAA titleholders, in two straight games, 8-6 and 8-4, the Huron -Perth League 'champions, ran into a snag on the home lot yesterday afternoon before the largest crowd of the season when they dropped the first match of their semi-final series with Strathroy Dodgers 10-9. The second of the best -two -of - three series is scheduled for Strathroy, under the floodlights, at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, and it will be a "do-or-die" performance. Despite their rather mediocre showing here yesterday, many of their supporters ere confident that Manager Hugh Hawkins' lads will evin Saturday's game and go on into the Ontario finals. That remains to be seen, how- ever, if Colts play their usual brand of ball instead of the slap- dash variety handed out in the first game, they have a good chance of winning the next pair of games. Fatal Fifth and Sixth Draper came in from the field to pitch with none out^ and a man ' on base. The visitors did no further scoring, and only 13 bat- ters faced him in the four frames. Dodgers concentrated all their power lin the fifth and sixth frames, on a combination of safe hits and errors, and piled up six in the fifth and four in the sixth, after Colts had been nursing a beautiful five -run lead, obtained in a the first and third, The barrage in the 'sixth sent Bob Craig to the bench, and Bob Locke, Strathroy twirler, wing- ed himself merrily along and !gathered more confidence with a commanding lead behind him. Colts added a sixth run in the !eighth when White tripled to left and scored' on Neilans' out at first, Strong Stand in Ninth But it was in the last of the ninth that the fur—from the kcal standpoint—began to fly, With the score 10-6, Woodcock fanned. Manager Hawkins, batting for Schoenhals, singled to left and advanced on secondbaseman's er- ror, Cook, batting for Wilson, struck out, 13111 Craig, who pre- viously had taken brother Bob's place in the line-up, singled to left scoring Hawkins. He ad- vanced to second on pitcher's er- ror and scored on catcher's error. Bartliff walked. White was hit by pitcher, McEwan walked, fil- ling the bases. Bartliff scored on catcher's error, making the count 10-9. Neilans grounded out, sec- ond to first, to end the game. It was a close fit. Saturday's choice for the mound ! has not been announced. It may. be Bob Craig, and again, ii may be Bob Draper. It will depend on several factors. No matter what happens, there will be a large number of supporters on hand from Clinton.

The final game at Baden resulted in a vic- tory for Pirates by 12-9. Officials of the RCAF team stated that the umpiring, was simply "terrific," and the worst they had ever seen. They made a spirited verbal protest to "Tory" Gregg, WOAA president, but naturally that could do no good whatever. CLINTON RCAF: Hunter 1f, R. Leblanc cf, R.
