The Lions Juveniles were winners by the score of 16 to 9. Taking the lead in the first inn- ings the locals were never in real danger, having a , liberal margin throughout the game which went in- to the ninth inning. Hawkins and Powell were an effective battery for Clinton, and while Craig and Eedy were good at times they did not stand up as well under the pressure. Butler and Lockwood had a ready clout for everything coming their way, .Butler collecting a home run. Lockwood did some fine work with his three -bagger when the bases. were loaded, bringing in three runs. Both pitchers did well with strike- outs,. Hawkins accounting for eight. Errors were, fairly evenly distribut- ed. 1Juveniles Come Out on Top Beat Dungannon 10-8 Last night the Juveniles came through with another win over Dun- gannon to give them the right to meet Goderich for top position in the group. The game last night went the full nine innings. Up until the last • in - ping • the boys had held Dungannon to two runs, but they came through for six runs in the final frame. Hawkins was the heavy hitter for Clinton with four to his credit; one ofthem a two bagger. It is quite probable that a : five game series will be played with God- erich for top position, Lose. First Play -Off Game Return, Game Tonight Lady Luck frowned on the local football team Tuesday night W and fairly beamed on the Seaforth Beav- ers The result was that Clinton lads lost an important game by the score of 2-0, but have the chance of staging a comeback tonight. Points count in this series and the lads have a formidable margin to overcome. In the meantime the group leaders St. Columban, are sitting back waiting for the winner to be declared. Clinton will - hhve the advantage of playing on their own field and if they play the kind of ball we have seen them play in previous ` games there is no reason why they should not qualify to meet St. Columban, a team highly respected, but one the local lads have beaten this year., Injured in Fall What migiht easily have been a fatal accident happened at the farm of Mr. John Farquhar of the Gravel Road on Monday, in which Mrs, Farquhar narrowly escaped death, but suffered three broken ribs and a broken collarbone. Durinig the busy ha'vvest season, Mrs. Farquhar assists with the load- ing and it was while a load of wheat was being brought into the barn that the accident occurred.

The fans saw one of the nicest exhileiiiions o f .baseball any- one could hope for, featuring Hovey as the bright and shining star. In addition to allowing only three hits, and one walk, he struck out 11 and had a good evening at bat getting two hits, both of them two -baggers. He received excellent support from his team mates, the line up being materially strengthened by the ser- vices of McEwan, Pickett and White. This team really looked good enough to take anything and everything and Hensall put up a grand fight all the way. Tudor got the only hit in the first, singling to first and stealing second. Foster's fly to centre field was cleanly handled by Glew. M. Tudor of apass on Col uhoun g q s error, Kerslake flied out to left field, Ran- nie to centre. For Clinton Wagg was first up and popped out, White was out third to first, and Glew struck aut. Passmore and Bell both fanned and Hudson was caught short to first for three in a row to open the sec- ond. Clinton knocked Kipfer's balls all over 'the field in their frame. Hawkins was first out. Hovey got his first two base hit and scored on Pickett's single. Draper connected for a three -bagger to bring Pickett home. Colquhoun was out third to first. McEwen singled land got to third before Wagg was finally tag- ged out after advancing "Punch" to third. Kipfer fanned,. J. Tudor was caught out second to first, Foster singled and M. Tudor fanned to re- tire the side after Foster had reach- er third by stealing bases. White was caught out, then Glew fanned, Hawkins got a walk, Hovey got an- other two base hit, Pickett scored Hawkins with his single, then Drap- er got out at first. Both teams were out three in a row in the fourth. The same thing happened to Hensall in the fifth. Clinton had four men et bat and went down after Hawkins got a walk and was pinched at second. J. Tudor struck out as first man up, Foster walked, M. Tudor singled and both advanced on Hawkins' er- ror, Kerslake was nipped at first, then Rannie got on en an error and both Foster and Tudor came in on White's error, his high peg to first going away over Pickett's head. M. Tudor went in to pitch for Hensall and struck out .Pickett and Draper. Colquhoun got a walk, McEwen singled and Wagg got out to retire the side. Redden who replaced Bell in the sixth waved at the maple trees, Hudson did likewise, Rennie pinch hitting for (Kipfer went back to the dugout when: Colquhoun retrieved his foul ball." At this point the game was called due to darkness although the fans, would have liked to turn on the lights for a few more inter- esting innings.

Electrical Storm Uproots Trees Crops are Flnttened A terrific electrical .storm passed over this district on Friday night. wind reached cyclonic ferocity at tines and was accompanied by' a heavy 'downpour of rain and hail. It is reported that at Bayfield the hail Yf was so hea• that it could be ath- vY g eyed in handfuls after the storm had passed. At Hglmesville trees were ;uproot- ed and grain crops flattened. A part of the barn roof at Bert Finlay's farm was blown off, telephone poles were broken, and hydro was out of commission for some time. Sam Jord- an's farm just outside town caught its share of the wind, the barn doors were lifted off and ' some damage' done to the roof, Wm. Johnston's barn was moved on the foundations by the terrific wind. No damage was done in Clinton. The hydro was off and on alternat- ely for about an hour and the rain fell in torrents.
