The way things are now either a sudden dden de ash er home and home games will have to be play- ed la yed to decide Which team will meet the' thud team in the league, In any event its going to be a tight squeeze for either team. The Irishmen are a good all round team and the same applies to the locals. A combination like that assures a good struggle for the top rung of the ladder. All this came about by reason of Clinton's. win in Hensall Friday night. Although the game only went five innings it was worth watching. Hen- sall tried out three pitchers, starting off with M. Tudor, then Kiefer and finally J. Tudor. Bob Draper carried his own colours all the way on the mound. The hitting was heavy from our home town. boys. Jack Hawkins the smacked out a two base hit in first; brother Hugh went one better with a triple in the fifth and Draper alsa connected fora double. Clinton went to bat in the sixth and scored three runs which were not counted since darknes fell all too soon to end a right good ball game. So far we have not been advised of the golfs next home gone. There is a juvenile play-off game tomorrow night with Hensall dishing up the goods for the locals here. This game should be worth watching. Engagement Announced Mrs. Malcolm Douglas McTaggart announces the engagement of her daughter, Edith Catherine to Edward Kirwin, son of . Mrs. T. 0.
