Town on Friday night, the Lions Juveniles .came back with a 20-6 win over Goderich here on Mon- day night in the second playoff game in the Maitland League. Bloomfield pitched the entire seven innings for. Goderich' and seemed to have an off night as the boys collected 15 hits and got 15 walks. In the six and a half innings all nine Clinton bat- ters were up our times, and in only one inning, the fifth, were three bat- ters retired in order. Clinton 'piled up their margin in the first four" innings, getting five, four, two and four runs respectively while holding the visitors down to one run, Butler did is nice job on the mound for the first four innings, but was replaced by Hawkins mid- way through the fifth, nine Goderich batters having a chance at the bat, getting four hits for four runs. Hawkins and Butler were the heavy hitters for Clinton, the former gettinga home run, a triple ee and a single. Butler was credited • with a triple, double and single. Bloomfield for the visitors did somegood work with his three bagger in the fifth, scoring Holman, McDonald and West- brook. Bissett, catching for Goder- ich was unable to reach some of Bloomfield's wild pitches and the Clinton lads took advantage of every pass ball. As the score would indicate, the game was very one-sided, but any- thing may happen in the next game. As it stands now both teams are deadlocked and the next game will see each team out to establish a lead.

Finalists Goderich having taken the decision in their playoff games with Hensen, they will now meet Clinton for top position in this group. The series opens up here tomorrow night. A game was to have been played in Goderich yesterday afternoon, but was called due to rain. This will mean that the locals will in all prob- ability be invited to play in Goderich on Monday. In any event, both teams will be out in earnest and everything indicates keen competition. Potato o Goes Musical Strictly speaking this Is not a musical story, but an e, ample of one: of nature's freaks. It concerns the ambitions of a potato. Thislittle fellow with other broth- ers and 'sisters, came into the world in Doug. Thorndyke's garden. Spy- ing a Jews Harp very close at hand he tried a few twangs. The result was very satisfactory and the two became such close friends that they are inseparable. When dug up the large end of the harp was embedded completely around the middle of the potato. The storydoes. not end here how- ever. When Freddie, the eight-year- old son brought the potato in he ask- ed that he might have it back. When asked the reason why he wanted it he solemnly' explained, "Well, I want to plant it next year to see" if I can grow a violin," Bather Gives False Alarm Two men bathing at . Egerton Beach, south of Bayfield, late Sunday afternoon, gave onlookers' a ' bad scare when they raised a call . for help, but were not In difficulties. The wife of one of the men dashed frantically into the water, at the same time yelling to spectators to hurry up and rescue her husband whose calls for help were certainly realistic. One of Clinton's star hockey play- ers who was at the beach sped to the rescue, only to find that the men were merely putting on an act, as they showed little inclination to leave the water. Fortunately the majority of bath- ers realize the seriousness of a dis- tress call and refrain from this type of foolery which should be punish- able by law. . Happply . no : serious consequences resulted from this fool- ish act and we imagine this man's wife delivered an illuminating lecture that is not likely' tc be forgotten for a while, Flower Show Next Week An annual event which' is looked forward to by flower lovers, the flower show, will be herd in the Town Hall on Friday and Saturday of next week. Exhibitors are re- minded that their entries must be in before eleven o'clock on Friday THE HOME PAPE, Gathers .Information in - Toronto' Mr, N. W.

McKenzie House This is the name by which the old Rattenbury hotel will in future be known to the travelling public. Mrs McKenzie, the new owner, tells us that she had no particular objection to the former name, but feels that after such a long time a change of name, together with a change of ownership, will be beneficial to the hotel. Repair work still goes on in prep- aration for the opening. 'Wiring for electricity is progressing favorably, and when all renovating work bas been done the hotel which is being lavishly furnishied will offer the last word in comfort to the ,travelling public. - Golden Wedding Anniversary Living in widely separated points, families sometimes find it inconven- ient to stage their home coming to coincide with family celebrations and reunions.' Such is the case with the family of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Pot- ter. and when the members were all home last week they took advan- tage of the occasion to stage a cele- bration in honor of their parents golden wedding anniversary. A party was held on the la bride's lawn, the e table beim centred with a huge wed- ding cake suitable for the occasion. Members of the family are Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Potter, Brooklyn, N.Y. Miss Ruby Potter, Reg. N., Provi- dence, R.I.; Mrs. L. W. Dippell and daughters, Peggy and Marion, Bow- manville; Miss Sarah Stark and Mrs. W. D. Smith, Currie, Ontario, sisters of Mrs. Potter.

No - ember, 1888, and have spent the greater part of their lives in Clin- ton.

Dressing Up. the Town The application of paint to a number of the stores and business places - on the main thoroughfare is making a decided improvement to the appearance of the town. While it is unfair to single out any place as showing - the greatest improvement. our vote goes to the hotel pos- sibly the change is ' most notice- able there because it has remained in such a drab condition for a long time. The addition of swinging doors and attractive window drapes- has entirely alteredthe appearance of this building. - Niot only does this apply to busi- ness places. Practically, all over town painting and renovating work' is going on, presenting a cleaner and neater, appearance everywhere. When the Bell Telephone Company complete their work of removing the poles from the business section it will be an added improvement. Workmen have been `working .at the rear of the stores this week, placing poles to ac- comodate the wiring, and it is ex- pected - the work of taking the poles from o in front of the stores will start next week. - Tihs is going to be a hardship on •those who, use;:them for advertising purposes, but the im- proved appearance will easily offset this disadvantage.
