Bayfield Fair Bucks Of HartterdwarPe Group
Rain 'and
(By RSA)
Although the elements were
most ,unkind to the officers and
directors of Bayfield Agricultural
Society, the annual . Fall Fair
yesterday indicated_. what could
be done under very adverse -cir-
cumstances.
President Alfred H, ;Warner
stated that the entries were just
as good, if not better than in
other years; that the attendance
was better than might have been
mended; and that rain insurance
would be of some assistance. In
cidentally, it started to rain at
noon and it continued all after-
noon.
Competition was keen in most
of the classes and the previous
high standard of quality was
maintained,
Good School Showing
Clinton District Collegiate In-
stitute Bugle Band headed a
large parade of school children
to the grounds. As usual, the
school fair section was one of
the best features of the Fair with
no less than ten schools from
Bayfield (two rooms), Goderich
Township (one school), and Stan-
ley Township (seven schools);
competing.
After all the points had been
totalled, it Was found that S.S. 1,
Stanley (Baird's School, Miss June
Miller, teacher), was winner of the
shield donated annually by the
Society. It was captured by S.S.
8, Stanley, in 1948, and by S.S. 4,
Stanley, West, in 1947.
Refreshment booths were op-
erated by the ladies of the Unit-
ed and Anglican Churches and
Lions Club, and there was a
County Museum exhibit. A horse
race took place in the rain. There
also were a few demonstration
booths.

hibited. William J. Dale, Clin-
ton, was top winner, with Elmer

class, Bruce Grigg, R.R. 1, Gode-

WESTERN CATTLE
ARRIVING HERE
BY THE CARLOAD
A number of carloads of West-
ern stockers arrived in Huron
County this week, and other
farmers are making preparations
to purchase cattle from the West,
according to R. Gordon Bennett,
Clinton, agricultural represent-
ative for Huron County.
One farmer purchased a num-
ber of purebred Polled Herefords,
as a foundation for a new pure-
bred herd here.
Pasture conditions" are 'fairly
good for this time of year, be-
cause of the frequent rains this
fall, commented Mr. Bennett.
Mr. Bennett added that bean
harvesting has been held up dur-
ing the past week or so and a
number of fields ere yet to be
pulled and still others to be har-
vested. Silo filling is almost
completed. Canning corn and
cabbage are being harvested in
large quantities in the Southern
part of the County.

The Clintonians have been
drawn against Strathroy Dodgers,
the team which they eliminated
in three close games a year ago
in the third round,
The first game of the best -of -
three series will be played in
Clinton at 3.30 p.m. Saturday, with
the return match in Strathroy
Wednesday next, possibly in the
evening under the floodlights.
It was first announced that the
Colts would tangle with Allen -
ford, Brude County League "C"
champions, but this was changed
when Meaford caused a hitch
through a protest in the Bruce
League itself.
The series between Strethroy
and Clinton should be a replica
of last year's clash.
Veteran Heroes
Forty-yeer-old Gordon Stock
and the veteran Bert White, also
in his forties, proved to be the
heroes of the final game with
Durham.
When Doug Bartliff was eject-
ed from the game by Umpire
Schmidt in the third' inning for
allegedly touching the worthy of-
ficial while making a play at the
plate, it was Gordie Stock who
was 'called to the mound. And,
at the time, he was the only
spare player on the bench, se
short were Colts in manpower.
Bartliff's ejection did not seem
to be deserved to many fans, and
it left Clinton with just enough
players to carry on. B!1l Craig
arrived lefty in the. game from
Stratford where he is attending
Normal School, but the situation
looked pretty grim.
Playing Manager Hugh Haw-
kins informed the umpire that
the game would be finished un-
der protest. Clinton was leading
5-3 at the time,
Slow Motion
Using his tantalizing slow ball,
with curve and drop, Stock had
the young Durham players break-
ing their backs to swing. True,
he got into trouble on more than
one occasion, but managed to pull
himself out through some smart
head work. The first of the ninth,
when Durham tied the score at
7-7, was his biggest headache, but
he finally pulled through.
The Fateful Tenth
The victory was fashioned in
the last of the tenth inning with •
one out. Fortunately, the top
end of the batting order was up
when one little run -- and the
decision - was so badly needed.
Art Woodcock, the first man
up, was out at first on a ground-
er to short. Bert White stepped
to the plate with fire in his eye
and banged a three -bagger to
deep left feild. Then Bob' Drap-'
er, usually a long fly hitter, came
to bat. It. looked as if he might
pole a long fly to the field, thus
allowing White to score from
third, but instead he, snapped a .
ground single to right between
first and second that the Durham
second -sacker couldn't get -. and
he game was over!

big break of the game. •
Clinton's Early Lead
On the strength of successive '
homers in • the first inning by
White and Draper, and three more
tallies in the second, Colts went
into a. 5-1 dead at the end of
the second inning. Durham re-
duced the !lead by two in the
third, but Colts seemed to have
an edge when they scared one

The count then stood at 7-3, and
four runs seemed to be enough
to win.
