In Chopping Mill
(By our Varna correspondent)
An accident, which might have
proven quite serious, happened
one day last week to Mr. Moir,
who was employed in John Aid-
ington's chopping mill, Varna,
Mr. Moir was doing some re-
pairinge was

He was taken to Clinton Public

was
badly bruised,
who eliminated Colts a year ago.
A loss would mean a third and
deciding game, possibly on Satur-
day on a neutral diamond.
Largest of Season
With perfect weather condi-
tions prevailing, Colts trimmed
Allenford in the first of the two -
of -three series in Community
Park here Monday afternoon by
8-1. There was no room for doubt
as to which was the better team
on the day's play.
A wonderful crowd attended in
ideal basebal weather. It was by
far the largest attendance of the
entire season, approximately 800.
The only fly in the ointment
was that a number of cars (about
20) parked themselves and their
non-paying occupants outside the
baseball field on the east side of
the park. It was felt that there
was no need for this lack of
sportsmanship.
Bob Craig Twirls o
Bob Craig did a fine job on
the mound for Clinton and gave
their supporters hope that Colts'
pitching worries might be solved.
He was opposed by "Lefty" Goan.
who gave way to- Harold Smith
In the seventh.
Draper's Homer
Bob Draper, Clinton centre
fielder, distinguished himself at t
bat with a homer with two out
in the lest of the first, scoring e
Art Woodcock and Clarence Neil -
ens ahead of him. Woodcock had
been safe cm pitcher's error and
Nellans had been walked delfh-
enatley. It was strategy that
back -fired somewhat.
