The' Clinton- ians played errorless ba11 to do it. Playdowns will decide the teem which survives elimination; win the Venus Trophy, and 'thus earns the right. to proceed fur- ther it the' OBA Intermediaite "C" series for a provincial title. Colts captured both trophies iii 1948, and subsequently were eliminated by Caledonia for the championship itself. Smart Game of Ball The battle between Colts and Lucan at Lucan Friday evening last, was every inch a struggle between two able and extremely well-matched.a-eams. Their pley- down . seri.es; should be a hum- dinger. Lucan's one -run lead in the first dirt not last, as Colts knocked in two in the first of the second en :singles by Powell and Miller, a lgng fly to centre field by Draper;'and a three -bag- ger by Woodcock. "They added one in .the seventh on Miller's single followed by Bili'. Craig's triple to deep left. • The Lucanites were"•dongerous at all times, especially -in the latter stages. Fred Revingtoil started off the seventh with a beautiful homer to deep left in back of a house, but he failed to touch second on his way around and' was celled out by the base umpire,. However, he was given a safe hit for his troubles, Argu- ment ensued and this delayed the game. about•• l5. minutes, with shouts of "protest being heard. However, Lankin, the next batter, singled, went .to Seeond on a, wild pitch, and tallied on Mc- Roberts? double. Chown was walked deliberately. Pitcher Ball flied out to Neilans is left, but when McRoberts streaked for home after the fly was caught, Neilank made a perfect peg to catcher Colquhoun who tagged the runner with plenty to spare. It was a good play. Draper, Woodcock end Bill Craig were three easy outs in the first of the ninth. In the last of the 9th, Handel popped to 3rd, and Hodgnis walk- ed,, Sovekreign, batting Jfor H� Revington, singled, F. Reving- ton's fielder's choice resulted in Hodgins being forced at 3rd, Bartliff to Woodcock, for the second out, Then Draper delib- erately walked Lankin, the lead- off man, filling the bases, and Jmade Hearn pop to Woodcock for the third out to finish the game, (At Lucan, Friday, Aug. 5) Clinton Colts AB R H 0 A woodcock, 3b 5 0 1 „ 4 1.

The protest will be heard at an executive meeting of the Huron -Perth Baseball League tomorrow evening.
