Colts Drop First
Series Has Changed
To Best Two of Three
nton Colts have, only o'
More chance to stay in the run
ning for the Ontario. Basebal
Association Intermediate "C'
Championship, and they must win
that game.
This all-important match wil
be played in Community Park
Clinton, at 2,30 p.m. sharp, Sat-
urday.
At Caledonia yesterday, before
epporximately 600 fans, the Colts
dropped a 15-10 decision to the
Eastern and Central Ontario title-
holders, , It: was a comedy of
errors and loose play,the very
chilly weather having a bad ef-
fect on both teams.
Before the match yesterda,
the rival managers agreed that
owing to the lateness of the sea-
son, the championship series
should be reduced to best -two -
in -three, • with the second game
here Saturday afternoon, as
scheduled, and the third game—.
if Clinton wins on Saturday—at
some place and on some date
to be decided following Satur-
day's match. '
• The NEWS -RECORD had ar- •
ranged for the official score to
be kept in the usual way at
Caledonia yesterday,{ but the
scorebook • did not get back into t
our hands in time for this issue. e
Where it was, no one seemed to
know. 5
However. according to ,Percy
Livermore, who kept the score
for the Colts, the Clintonians had
12 errors and the Caledonians
six, with safe hits about even. It
was the worst game Colts had
played this season, partly due to
the long lay-off, but if' they play
their usual brand' of baseball on
Saturday, they should win.
A Few Comments
Here are a few comments of
those who witnessed the game:
Jack Butler: "We 'should win on
Saturday. Everybody was off,"
and the diamond seemed to be
surrounded by buildings.
Percy Livermore: "If the boys
play the ball of which they are
capable, we should win. The um-
piring 'seemed pretty awful,
especially the one on bases."
Bill: Counter: "No comment,
We should do better Saturday.
Art Woodcock, third baseman
"The diamond was in bad shape
and that didn't help us any."
Doug Batrliff, shortstop: "We
should take this team on Satur-
day, now that we've got a bad
game out of our systems."
Two Twirlers Each
Bob Draper started on the
mound for Clinton, but was hit
badly in the last of the third
and gave way to Bob Craig,
Neither pitcher seemed very ef-
fective With the support, they
were getting from their team-
mates,
Caledonia got the jump on
Colts with a big six -run spree in
the third, but With the count' 0-1
ne against them, Colts came back
strongly in the fourth with seven
I counters, • to tie the score.
The winners used two twirlers
also, both righthanders—Potruff
and Gibb, the latter entering the
1 fray in the fourth.

Clare Maltby Makes
Excellent Showing
Clinton Collegiate Institu
were represented sat
big Western Ontario Secondary
Schools Association "B" tra
and field meet in London o
Saturday by N, W. Kinach, cos
Clare Maltby, boys junior champ
ion; Don Epps, junior•pole vaul and Karl Whitfield, junio
broad jumper.
The boys made a very goo
showing against strenuous com
petition.
Clare Maltby won his heat in
the 220 yards, and came fourth
in the run-off, first place going
to R. Heimrich, Exeter, with a
ime of 25.2 seconds. In the
ight-pound shot-put, Clare fin -
shed second to F. Durocher, Es -
ex, who hurled it 39 feet 9 in-
ches. Both the winner and Clare
who was only four inches less,
broke the existing WOSSA Jun-
ior record.
Don Epps did some nice pole-
vaulting, but was disqualified on
technical grounds. Karl Whit-
field did well in the pumps, but
failed to finish in the charmed
circle.
Scoutmaster" Sorely
Needed in Clinton
Clinton is in need of a new
Boy Scout Master to take charge
of a reorganized group of Boy
Scouts, John Sorenson of the
Royal Bank staff hes been ap-
pointed as Cub Master.
The Boys' and Girls' Com-
mittee of Clinton Lions CIub, of
which J. A. Sutter is chairman,
is in charge of Boy Scout and
Wolf Cub work in town. It is
expected that this committee will
be expanded.
In connection with reorganiza-
tion work, a meeting of those
interested was held in Wesley -
Willis United Church Thursday
evening last: Harry C. Firth,
London, field commissioner for
Western Ontario, and Mr. Fletch-
er, London, were on hand to out-
line the work and answer ques-
tions.
It was felt that securing of a
competent Scout Master was the
most pressing problem facing the
whole future of the Boy Scout
Movement in Clinton.
