IRW1N'S " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE " FOOTBALL SQUAD TAKE TWO IN ROW In spite of the fact that they are' receiving very little local support, the boys wearing Clinton sweaters are keeping the town on the map' as far as. football is concerned. They are playing a nice brand of ball, featuring some nice combination plays, and are worthy of more sup- port than they are getting. In the last two games here, on Friday and Tuesday night, the gate receipts were very light, a mere handful of ,spectators being on hand to cheer the team to victory. Shortly after the starting kick Clin- ton were all around Seaforth's goal in.a scramble and did everything but score. The ball' was cleared after hitting the bar. until the end of the half play was from one end of the field to the other, neither teams be- ing able to score. Shortly after the second half start- ed, Garrett' muffed a penalty shot by kicking too highe Eight minutes ter T. Sills took a pass from brother D'Orlean, sending it under thebar to give his team a one goal lead. Clin- ton tied it up in a scramble around the goal. Garrett drilled a beauty for the corner from a corner kick, Bell deflecting it into his own net in an effort to clear. Again near the end of the half, with just fourmin- utee left Bateman passed to Garrett who made no mistake, scoring easily with Bell out of the •goal. The line -up. -Clinton, goal, Wilson, E.

The visitors won the game cleanly by the score of 12-0. They are a good team, with plenty of good material, and should go far in their division. Tom Daly, trainer of the Toronto Maple Leafs, once said to his boys after they had encountereda losing streak, "Never mind boys, you can't win :them all". His statement ad- equately sums up the situation from the standpoint of Clinton fans. Tak- ing into consideration the fact that this same team beat London on Sat- urday. 9.1, we might even say that the Colts did well in not allowing an even greater score. For the first four innings Draper and Colquhoun were the batteries for Clinton. The visitors collected three runs, but Draper allowed only three hits and struck out three. Stratford started to count in the third when Baird singled.and advanc- ed to second on Kerslake's fly. Mc- Creadie was caught out at first while Baird scored the first run -when Col- quhoun dropped Hovey's low, pitch from first, Again in the fourth Mis- kimmons and McGillvary came in to make the score 3-0, Glew was the only man to get a hit off Kerslake in these four innings. Stock replaced Draper on the mound for the fifth and held the visitors scoreless for their half, but Clinton were unable to break through the air -tight defence of the fielders, or get a bit off Carrick who re- placed Kerslake at hurling. Another run was scored by Strat- ford in the sixth when'McGillvaiy got a home run, his being the only hit of the inning. In the next they added another couple. Clinton just didn't eseem to be able to get in, so in the eighth Manager Jennie Jones sent out Pawley for variety. Hovey singled, but the next three men were retired in order. In the ninth Wagg got to second, but there it ended, Stratford having previously added five runs in their half to wind up a nice exhibition game in their favor to the tune of 12-0. After the game Clinton entertain- ed their visitors at Barthff srest- aurant to the mutual enjoyment of all concerned. On Friday night Winthrop were the visiting team and lost the game 2-0. Play in the first half was fairly even, although Winthrop had the ad- vantage of goal kicks and missed' several golden opportunities. 'Fol- lowing a goal kick front the Clinton goal a Winthrop player intercepted , with his hands. After the foul the Clinton forwards snapped onto the' ball and went through the Winthrop defence, Finch dropping a .neat one under the bar, The visitors 'had a few chances to even the count but were unable to get past Wilson. Then in the, second half Winthrop threatened to even the count on sev-I era; occasions, but were unable to get through. Clinton booted a sure goal over the bar and the play came back once more. Getting the ball in cen- tre field Clinton went up to the Win- throp fort, Garrett making no mit- take with his kick to the corner of the goal, They were able to hold' 'their lead handily until the final, whistle. 1 BEAT SEAFORTH 2-1. The game on Tuesday night was a hard-fought. one for both teams. Play was about even, but Clinton had the edge by playing better combination. THE HOME PAPER Public School Board Meets - At a special meeting of the School Board on Tuesday evening it was de - I the west of the 'ded toshingle er gwing school, also to replace a number of desks. No Band Concert Tonight Due to the fact that the stores will remain open this evening, tomorrow being a holiday, there will be no band concert this evening, but the concert will be held as usual next week. A special treat has been arranged for Sunday evening, July 17th, when the Stratford C.N.R. band will pro- vide the musical entertainment. Fur- ther announcement will be made later. Zurich Win Return Game After having beaten Zurich here 12-5, the tables were turned on Clin- ton when they went to Zurich Mon- day night for the return game. Zur- ich won 12-6. Clinton were minus the services of Draper and White. Stock pitched the first four innings, and was relieved by Hovey. Heideman on the mound for Zurich turned in a stellar perfor- mance, allowing only four hits. The locals will have a chance to break the losing streak on Monday night when Mitchell will be here for their return engagement. This will probably be the best game of the season, Mitchell having lost their game to Clinton 6-5 and they will be out to redeem themselves. Preaches FarewellSermon Rev. C. W. D. Cosens on Sunday preached his farewell sermon to his congregation and yesterday moved his household effects to his new home in Essex. Mr. Cosens and his family have been very popular dur- ing their stay here, and will receive a warm welcome at, such times as they find it convenient to return to Clinton. As announced last week, the new pastor, Rev. Andrew Lane, will be inducted into his new charge tonight and will be welcomed by his con- gregation. He will have charge of the services on Sunday and will con- duct the services of the United con- gregations of Wesley -Willis and Ontario street during the month of July when Rev. G. G. Burton will be away on holidays. Weekly Has Been in Same Home Seventy Years Over seventy years ago the Cline ton New Era became established in a number of homes in Clinton and surrounding community as their weekly newspaper. Despite the years which have elapsed, involving change in name and ownership of the paper, a great many homes into which the first paper went are still receiving each weekly issue. This thought was brought home to us the other day when Mr. W. G. Pope remarked that for over seventy years the Clinton paper had been welcomed in their home. His father was a steady subscriber up until the time of his death, and Mr. Pope has continued to take the paper since. Doubtless there are a great many homes with the same record. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Martin and daugh- ter, Miss Jane, spent the week -end with Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hawkins. Mrs. Annie Brown attended the Snell reunion at the •home of Mr. McDow- ell, Westfield, on Saturday.

Madelon Hawkins returned to Toronto after a two week's vaca- tion with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. W. T. Hawkins.

Heat Brings Out Banana Blossoms Although the ,extreme heat of last week might not have been just what the doctor ordered for you and S, it was exactly right for the banana plant in the Hydro Shop. During the heat wave three buds formed on this plant, and it began to look as if the officials of the P.U.C. would be able to munch home grown bananas in the very near fut- ure. •The cooler weather seems to have retarded growth for a few days however, although the blossoms are still there for all to, see, They are formed in a cluster and partially en- closed within two smaller leaves in much the same manner as a growing cob of corn. While we do not profess to know much about botany, we believe this is something unusual for Ontario. To Assist S.A. Officer Here In the recent commissions of the Salvation Army Lieutenant Titcombe, of Uxbridge, who has been attending the Training College in Toronto, was appointed to assist, Captain McDow- ell in the work here • and will arrive today.

Knight, Unusual Cactus are Blooming The other day Miss Cuninghame brought into this office something unusual in the way of a flower. Last year she received a small cactus plant from Mexico.. It was shipped in native pottery and in the earth from the desert. The plant has re- ceived very little attention, getting no water from November until spring and it' has not been trans- planted: Standing less than three inches high, it has a most, beautiful bloom which has to be seen to be apprec- iated. The single bloom is almost as big as the plant itself, being over two inches' in width. In shape it resembles a bell and is very del- icately colored. The petals have a satin appearance and are lavender in colour, shading down to a very pale yellow in the bottom of the bloom. The stamens are a pale yel- low, and the ealex an unusual shade of green. This particular type of. cactus is very rare, and is possibly the only one in this part of the country, Miss Cuninghame has another variety known as the Queen Cactus which blooms only at night. This plant is now in bud and those who have seen it in bloom say it is one of the most beautiful they have ever seen. A number of citizens accepted the in- vitation to see it in fill bloom last year and will have: the same oppor- tunity in the near future • Receives Certificate Mr. Frank Evans, engineer at the hospital, was a candidate for fourth class engineer's certificate in exam- inations inations held at Goderich last May A few ago MEvans r. days received his certificatefrom the Department of Labour, Toronto.

Morris District L.U.L. will hold a special service in Londesboro United Church on Sunday evening. Rev. G. G. Burton will be the speaker. A lady and gentleman from Shel- burne had occasion we do some shop ping here recently. They remarked that Clinton had splendid stores on the inside, but that in the majority of eases, the outsides were sadly in need of paint. Possibly we should urge a Paint Up Week.
