Juveniles 7-Wingham 6
The Juvenile baseball team staged
a great game on Friday night when,
after an uphill battle all the way,
they came from behind in thelast
inning to win one of the hardest
fought and best ball games of the
season, The game was reminiscent
of the battling spirit of the Colts
hockey team,
Neither team were able to get a
run in the first inning, but things be-
agn to look hopeful in the second
when R. Monteith slammed out a nice
two -bagger and stole third, but he
was unable to reach home before the
ide was retired. Sturdy, for Wing-'
ham, carne in to give his team a
one run lead:

Neither team got a run in the,
third. Then inthe.foutth R. Monteith)
walked, stole second • and third, and I
came home on Cook's sacrifice hit to
even the score. Wingham retired'
with Sturdy on third. I
Butler got a nice two -bagger away
in the fifth and both he and Lock- l
wood scored. Wingham got practically!

mound for the sixth inning. R. Mon-

Powell was all set for another, but
was tagged out when trying to steal
home. 'Wingham got four runs in
their half.,I
The situation, began to look srious
in the opening of the seventh and
final inning when Forsyth for Wing -
ham came home, with Johnson ad-

retired with 'a score of '6-4 in their+.
favor. However, Butler, Lockwood

Colts Chalk up Another Win
Clinton 12-T.urlcii
In a game that was rather draggy,
but which featured some heavy hit-
ting by the Colts; another win was
marked up on Thursday night when
the Zurich team went down to defeat
on the Clinton diamond. Heideman
and Gascho were the batteries for
Zurich; Draper and Colquhoun for
Clinton. '
Clinton got away to a good start
in the first inning with five runs,
Wagg, White, Glew, Hawkins and.
Hovey crossing the plate for Clinton.
Prang came home for Zurich to make
the score 5-1.
In the second inning White pulled
the hat trick with the first home run
of the season.. Hes good example
was followed by a three -bagger by
Grew, and a repeat performance by
Hawkins. Hovey and Colquhoun both
came home for another five runs with
Neilans on third when the side was
retired. Goetz and Sehilbe came home
for Zurich to make it 10-3 for Clin-
ton.
In the third White walked, Glew
struck" out, Hawkins made a three -
bagger scoring White and Hawkins
came home on Hovey's three -bagger.
The side was retired with Hovey
still on third. Zurich were weak in
this inning, Goetz being the only man
to get to second.
Resteeneyer replaced Heideman in
the fourth and the boys were unable
to register as many hits from his
pitching. This seemedto give the vis-
itors hope, especially when Gascho
knocked out a three -bagger to send
Prang home. Gascho came home on
Heideman's single and the •side was
retired when Oesch flied out. By this
time it was getting rather dark and
neither teams made a run in either
the fifth or sixth inning, but Johnson
andealovey mulled a double play when
Gascho was caught and Stade pinched
advancing to second.

Deadlock
Meeting St. Columban on their
home ground on Friday night, the
Clinton football team were able to
hold the cup winners of last year to
a one -all tie. Clinton played their
best game of the Beason and had to
be good to hold the heavy checking
St. Columbans.
The opposition drew first blood in
the opening half of the game when
McQuaid slipped one past the Clinton
net -minder, Charlie Wilson. The bays
did everything but tie it up before
the period ended, but were held in
check.
In the second half Garrett pulled
the hat trick when he shot a neat one
past O'Connor. The game throughout
was fast, and after Garrett had tied
it up both teams put on the pressure
to get the winning goal.

Clinton Marks Magna
Charta Day
War veterans, Scouts and Girl
Guides headed by the Citizens' Band
paraded to Library Park on Sunday
afternoon where a service was held
in commemoration of the signing of
the Charter. Captain K. McGoun was
chairman for the occasion. Rev. C.
W. D. Cosens assisted in the service,
and Rev. G. G. Burton delivered the
address to a large gathering from
the town and vicinity.
The Band led in the singing' of
"Rock of Ages" and "Abide with
me". Following the reading of script-
ure by Rev. McGoun and prayer by
Rev. Cosens, Rev. Burton opened his
remarks by giving an outline of the
causes for the signing of the great
Charta. The great charter of the
liberties of England was granted by
King John - at Runnymede, June 15,
1215. It is held to be the foundation
of the personal and political libert-
ies enjoyed by the English people.
It provided that no • freeman should
be kept under arrest without trial,
that he should not be convicted save
by the judgement of his peers or in
accordance with the law' of the land,
and that no taxes should be levied
except by the common council of the
kingdom.
These privileges are being threat-
ened today by the propaganda and
advance of Naziism, Fascism and
Conntnutism. In democracy the state
exists for the people, but in countries
governed by dictators the people ex-
ist for the benefit of the state. One
dictator has said that by propaganda
anything can be brought about. De-
mocracy stands for a fair trial for
evtl}yone moused, efor :free' speech;
free press and free assembly. None
of these privileges are enjoyed under
the 'rule of a dictator. Democracy
follows the Iine of Christianity, but
with all the isms abroad the free-
dom we enjoy is being endangered.
Speaking of the present situation
of unemployment and financial dif-
ficulty Mr. Burton told his listeners
that each has a responsibility in
sharing the other fellow's burden.
During wartime .many a soldier
helped another by carrying his. pack,
and this practice should be carried
on in peaceful times. It is not enough
to say that economie conditions are
bad. We must do something to rem-
edy the situation and see that the
principles of democracy are in opera-
tion.
Battalion Cadet Units are
Proposed
Suggestions Heard At Middlesex-
Huron Regiment Officers' Dinner
A suggestion that the Collegiate
and high school cadet corps of Huron
and other counties should be formed
into battalion units, was made by
Lieut. -Col. Rance at the annual din-
ner of the Middlesex -Huron Regi-
ment, held at the armouries .last
week.
The speaker advocated a summer
cadet camp - for each county, where
physical training under expert in-
structors would be featured. The
scheme, he contended would tend to,
make better citizens and develop : a
deeper sense of loyalty.
This was the first get-together of
the regiment's officers held in God
erich's new armories, which was in
gala patriotic attire, the tables be-
ing set on the drill hall 'floor. Short
speeches were -heard from Lieut. -

roy, Col. J. W. Shaw, of Clinton,
