'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 handto cheer the team to victory. 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 from the Clinton goal a Winthrop player intercepted with his hands. Alter 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 toget past Wilson. Then in the second half Winthrop threatened to even the count on sev- eral 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 mis- take with his kick to the corner of the goal. They were able to hold their lead . handily until the final whistle. BEAT SEAFORTH 2-1. The game on Tuesday night was a hard-foughtone for both teams. -Play was about even, but Clinton had the edge by playing better combination. Shortly after the starting kick Clin- ton were all around Seaforth's goal in.a scramble and did everythingbut 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 high: Eight minutes af- ter T. Sills took a pass from brother D'Orlean, sending it under the bar 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 four min- utes left Bateman passed to Garrett who made no mistake, scoring easily with Bell out of the goal. The line -up, -Clinton, goal, Wilson, E. Layton, Bateman, G. Layton, Me- Kay, Mann, Weston, Haig, Garrett, 'Allison, Dale. Subs, Lindsay, Sehoen- hale.', Seaforth: Bell, Flannery, Kruse, Gemmell, H. Nicholson, Rintoul, T. Sills, D.

Fri- day night. 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 encountered a losing streak, "Never mind boys, yon 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 MeGillvary came in to make the score 3-0. Glees 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 hit off Carrick who re- placed Kerslake at hurling. Another run was scored by Strat- ford in the sixth when McGillvary got a home run, his being the only hit of the inning. In the next they added another couple. Clinton just didn't'seem to be able . to get in, so M the eighth Manager Jonnie 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 tothe tune of 12-0. After the game Clinton. entertain- ed their visitors at Bartliff's rest- aurant to the mutual enjoymentof all concerned. Zurich Win Return Game After having beaten Zurich here 12-6, 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. Steer 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. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. G. L.

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 intheir 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 aro a great many homes with the dame record.

Heat Brings Out Banana Blossoms Although the; extreme heat of Inst week might not have been just 'what the doctor ordered for you and 1, 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 homeInstallation 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- oiosed 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. - New Officers of Masonic Lodge of officers of Clinton Lodge, A,1' and A.M.

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'Tess than throe inches high, it has a most beautiful bloom which bas to be seen to be apprec- rated, The single bloom is almost as big as the plant itself b'ei p over two inches` el width. In shape it resembles a bell and is ver del- ccately colored. The petals have a p satin appeaxanee and are lavender in, colour, shading down to a very Hale yellow in the bottom of the bloom. The stamens are a pale yet- low, and the carer 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 Tient is now in bud and those who have seen it inbloom say it is one of the most, beautiful they have ' ever seen, A number of :citizens accepted the 'in- vitation to see it in full' bloom last year and will have the Same o or- ppy .,''unity in the near. fnt,re- Promotion for U.S.S:.8, -Stanley and Goderich (Bayfield School):_ The grades for September are as follows, listed alphabetically: X—Elsie Leitch, Vera Pease, Lor na Westlake: IX—Results 'will be announced late ea VIII—Bernard Bu p glee O al Dyer,; Bill,.
