" The Colts were feeling their oafs again on Tuesday night when they met Blyth in a scheduled Huron -Perth League • game, It began to look as if Blyth would be whitewashed when at the end of the sixth inning they had yet to get their first run. The The. Colts had established a lead of 9 runs, by virtue of two runs in the first inning, three in. the third, three in the sixth and one more in the seventh, Blyth finally broke into the scoring, when Garton crossed the plate for the only run. • Doherty started onthe mound for Blyth and pitched until the sixth when he was relieved by Miller after six runs were scored. Garton toiled behind the plate. For Clinton it was Stock on the mound, he being relieved in the seventh by Draper. Colquhoun was on the receiving end. Jnst whether the Blyth boys have not found their batting eye yet on not, we are not in. a position to say. They were:hitting the ball but failed to Place their hits, and some rather spectacular fielding by the Clinton outfield did not help their cause either. In the eighth inning a peg by Glew from centre field cut off a Blyth run when Taman was on the way hone from third. n Blyth collected a total of five hits off the offerings of the two Clinton hurlers, and were credited with two misques afield. No fault could be found with their fielding with the exception of a couple of errors by Miller and Brook. Clinton collected a total of twelve hits off Doherty and Miller. They had four errors. In the last inning Taman was safe on an error, Sims walked, Doherty struck out. Gray's long fly was pic- ked off by Glew in centre field, who returned the ball to Colquhoun at the plate in time to tag Taman who was streaking for home. This ended the first half of the inning, and the game was called at this point due to darkness. The line-ups: Blyth—Taman cf; Sims, 2b; Do- herty p; Gray ib; Miller, 3b and p; Garton c; Taylor If; Brook" ss, Rob- e; Peddie and Neilans 3b; Johnson„ inson rf. Clinton—Wagg If; Hovey ib; Glew ef; Hawkins rf; White 2b; Colquhoun ss; Stock p. Umpires: Thorndyke behind the plate; Johnson on the bases.

The boys were in good form as the score indicates, and were able to lead the opposition into camp by the score of 6-2. An impressive ceremony took place just before the game started when tribute to the late William' Barlow, tan outstanding figure in sporting circles, was observed by one minute's silence. Prominent mien of Goderieh were present and officially opened the activities. T. Manjuris presented a handsome silver cup to the president of the limon -Perth League, Bill Ful- ford, to be competed for during the season. The game was officially opened with Mr. Manjuris at bat, Judge Cost- ello as catcher, and Mayor MacEwan pitching the first ball. Draper was the shining light for Clinton, pitching the first five innings with only one run and one hit being scored by the opposition. He was later relieved by Stock who held the scoring down to one run. In the -Goderich line-up were two Lucknow players, Finlayson, catcher, and Irwin, first base, who usually is on the mound. The boys put up a good fight, but infield errors- were costly and proved their downfall Wagg was the heavy hitter for Clinton, geting four hits out of five turns at the bat. Others on the line- up 'were Colquhoun, Hovey, Hawkins, Johnston, Peddie, Neilans, Glew and Wagg.

Many Present When Nurses Graduate A capacity crowd assembled in the Presbyterian Church on Monday night, when four nurses were grad- uated from the Clinton Community Hospital. The four graduates were Miss E. M. Wilson, Miss H. VanEg- mond, Miss Garniss and Miss K. Bea. - coni. Dr. J. W. Shaw presided during the evening and in his opening remarks, sketched a brief history of the Chin - ton Hospital. Thirty-eight years ago, Dr. Gunn, in, his busy career,. wanted facilities for his outside pa- tients. He bought a store, fixed it: up, called it a hospital. It was for his own convenience. He used the building in this way for eight years. In order to get a grant, a charter was obtained, Dr. Shaw was the first President. It cost a great deal of energy and money during these pioneering years. Those in charge wanted to make the people of Clin- ton and community Hospital -minded, This hospital was the first one be- tween Stratford and London.. It was difficult to make the hospital a sue Bess, because the people were slaw 'to accept the innovation. Through all the difficulties and successes, Dr. Gunn was the guiding spirit. In 1919 a Hospital Board rented the hospital from Dr. Gunny and in the .following year bought the blind- ing. In 1924 through the generosity of the McTaggart family, the Hospital Board were given the McTaggart Residence on Shipley street. The new Community Hospital was opened in 1924. Through all these past year, the ladies on the Board had loyally car- ried the burden of responsibility. In 1934 they desired to be relieved of the ever-increasing responsibility and asked the men of the town to take over their duties, which they did re- luctantly. In order to assist the men, the ladies formed the Ladies' Hospi- tal Aid. Dr. Shaw concluded his re- marks by hoping that the present Hos- pital was large enough and suitable enough to serve a community of this size, and he also expressed the hepe- that the present institution' might al- ways improve in its standards,: as time required. The quartet from On- tario Street Church, composed of Mis- ses M. is-ses'M. Gibbings and E. Wiltse, Dr. F. G. Thompson and Mr. Les. Pearson, accompanied by Mrs, E. Wended, sang a much appreciated selection, Mr. P. Fingland then addressed the meeting. After extending his con- gratulations to the graduating nur- ses, he talked briefly on the history of hospitalization,; Hospitals were first established by the Cluistian Cbureh in the third or fourth century A.D. It stili remainsfor the Christian Church to' care for the sickand the aged. The church was the only in- stitution to do work of this sort un-. til the Reformation, when the state confiscated most of 'the church pro-. petty, and the state maintaMed the (Continued on page 4)
