Walton 1-0 at i I1 BeatsW Clinton Having previously beaten Winthrop here 2-0 and Seaforth 2-1, the local football team claimed three straight wins when on Thursday evening they held Walton scoreless. The game was closely contested throughout, and neither team seemed able to beat the defence in the first half. Fifteen minutes of close playing went by in the second half befor, Clinton scored. They had had a slight edge on the play up to this point and fully deserved the counter. A. well placed kick from thehalf-back line carried the ball well up to Waltan's goal and Dale was there to follow through for the only goal of the game. Walton pressed desperately to tie it up in the remaining moments of the game, but to no avail. 1937; Douglas Elliott, December 8, 1937.

Football Team Now in Second Place As a result of their win last night over St. Columban, Clinton are in second place in their division of the league. St. Columban still remains at the top, Seaforth and Walton will now have to fight it out for third place. The game last night proved to be a nice exhibition of ball. In the first half Clinton had the advantages of kicks on the goal but were unable to connect. They outplayed the visitors on two occasions. They were around the Clinton goal and threatened to score, St. Columban muffed two chances for sure goals. The first goalwas rst scored within one minute of the kick-off in the second half. From centre field the ball was carried down, cleared back, then Weston connected and passed to Dale who cleared thebottomof the v post narrowlygoal. p for a neat g . A, few minutes later Garrett was on the spot when O'Connor the St. Columb - an goalie fumbled his kick, Garrett snapping a clean one easily under the bar. The play featured some clever headwork by both teams from this point. After being passed front head to head, Garrett handled a grounder nicely for the third goal of the game. St. Columban scored a little later in the game, but were held• in check until the final whistle. An additional d nal t honor • ' othe team to n in winning this game and scoring three goals is that during the entire season only one goal had previously been scored on O'Connor. Orangemen Celebrate Twelfth in Stratford Clinton Pipers Win, Honors With ideal weather prevailing for the glorious twelfth, •all loyal Orangemen journeyed to Stratford on Tuesday in observance of the bat- tle of the Boyne. It is estimated that 3,500 Orangemen took part in the parade, representing 69 lodges from the counties of Huron, Perth, Waterloo, Middlesex, Oxford and Wellington. In this aggregation both Murphy: Lodge 710, and the L.O,B,A. Clinton, were . well represented. The Clinton Pipers took the honors for the best pipe band. They were accompanied by Bobby Morgan who attracted a lot of attention when wielding the drum sticks. In addition to the Clinton lodges, Bayfield, Auburn, Blyth, Seaforth and surrounding towns were well rep 'resented and all took part in the day'i • Proceedings. • As usual Clinton's veteran Orange- man, David Cantelon, was well to the front but had to accede the honor of being' the oldest Orangeman in the walk to Thomas Sinillie of Goderich, aged 92 years,' a member of Dungan- non Lodge 824. Last year when the celebration was held here Mr. Can- elon walked off with the honors. Prior to leaving here Murphy Lodge initiated a new member into the Order, Mr. George Beattie being the candidate. Lions Win in Close Game with Ripley In seven innings of pretty fair baseball, packed full of everything that keeps the fans howling, Clinton Lions edged out Ripley here Monday night in one of the hardest fought games they have played this season. Clinton made a few costly errors in the first innings, and Ripley who were smart on fielding and stealing bases kept the locals on their toes; Both Hawkins and Bowers pitched consistent ball throughout, each striking out six.' Ripley took the lead, in the first inning then, Clin- ton tied it up in the second. The game was still tied at the end of the fourth with each team having three runs to their credit. Clinton seemed to settle down for the fifth inning and Folded three more and at the same time held the visit- ors scoreless in their half. Then in the next frame Ripley scored two as against Clinton's one run fo make the score 6-5 in favor of Clinton. Fremlin wearing the catcher's mitt, got a hot one on the arm in the sixth and when McCosh crossed the plate, the umpire came in for a lot of criticism when he allowed the run to stand, especially when this was the run to tie the game urn Feeling was high at this point and tempers flared. However, when Fremlin recovered Clinton again went in to bat and Hawkins slammed out a nice three bagger. Campbell's single gave him the opportunity to register the final and .winning run of the game. Among The Churches St. Paul's Church Rev.

(2) Towards King and Courttry— He should abstain from swearing, and act to the Sovereign and the British Empire, being Protestant: seeking their prosperity and integ- rity: strengthening their ties and supporting the principles which have been the foundation of the Empire's greatness; ever ready to promote civil and religious liberty; to maintain the Protestant faith as the purest form of Christianity, and the basis of Constitutional Goverment to the people; and to build up the Empire in Unity and Godliness. (3) Towards Mankind—He should be of temperate and kindly habits, striving to be of an example to others, as a true Christian . citizen. He should abstrainfrom swearing, profane language, from dishonesty and from intemperance of every kind. He should seek the welfare of others; be just, considerate, and tolerant in his judgment, especially toWard those who are needy or oppressed, and to promote the spirit of friendliness and brotherly love.
