Free Press dated July 31st and pub- lished for the past twenty-five years by S. C. Andrews, son of the late S J. Andrews of town, we clip the fol- lowing: "Following twenty-five years' resi- dence in 'Alii,during which time we have endeavored to meet the wants of the community from a newspaper an- gle, we have disposed of The Alix Free Press to Mr. E. V. Chambers who takes possession the first of the month. We have many, many friends and it is hard to be compelled to say good- bye for we know not where to go to find a more loveable people or a bet- ter little town. It is not through choice that we retire from business but necessity. For the past three years we have been doctoring for eye trouble and are advised that the only remedy will be a complete rest from the eye strain and eventually an op enation; so you will see, dear friends that we have no alternative. We have, during the past quarter of a century, published the obituaries of many old friends, we have seen Dur young folk grow to womanhood and manhood, published accounts of theii weddings and later announced the -en- try to their hones of the children. We have advertised for our business men throughout these. 'many years .and witnessed Many changes, in fact there are but three or four families in town that were here when we first came We have applied ourselves' to busi ness, but if we have had a pleasant residence in Alix it is due in the greater measure to its citizens anc those of the surrounding country." We regret very much that Mr. An drewshas had to give ttp his wort owingto eye trouble and sincerely hope that the rest may have, the of feet of correcting the trouble.. He is too young a man to wish to retire and give upwork altogether and it is to be hoped'he will find something which will be less trying to the eyes. News paper work in certainly a constan strain. COLTS QUALIFY FOR GROUP •FINALS Win ,Out From Goderich In Two Straight Games. Both Teams Play Splendid Ball.—Colts Are To Be Congratulated. — Sailors Should be Commended.— Both Games Go Ten Innings. • Pickett and Hawkins Bre Clinton Colts advanced into the• Group Finals on Tuesday evening when they defeated the Goderich) Sailors for the second straight time, the score being 3 to 2, and for the' second straight time they had to go ten innings to do, it. It was without a doubt the best game here this year and probably the most exciting in quite a :long time. A good crowd turned out, arid _that 'added greatly tol the excitement. Quite a strong breeze was blowing across the diamond from the south-east and fans had some difficulty in seeing the games through constant clouds" of dust that blew Sunday Is Decoration Day The annual union decoration ser- vice, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, Orangemen and the Cana- dian Legion will be held on' Sunday afternoon, Aug. 23rd.

Albert Carter and George Colclough were walking about on the latter's farm on Sunday week they saw a young maple tree with very large leaves. On examining it they found all the leaves exception- ally large, one they brought into this office measuring eight by ten inches. The ordinary maple leaf measures a- bout three and a half by four anti a half, so that this one would easily be as large as four ordinary ones. Mr. Colclough did not seem to know of any reason why this young tere, in this exceptionally hot, dry season should have developed such monster leaves. ak Up 10 -Inning Game ' off the diamond. It made it miser- able for both players' and fans. After playing nineinningsand end- ing up' in a two -all tie the Colts went into the last half of the tenth with. that now or never spirit. Stock was removed for Hawkins who went in as. a pinch -hitter after Johnston had' struck - out, and "Tommy" came, through with a swell double. "Kenny"" Pickett, old faithful; was next man up,'and with everyone yelling• for a hit, and "Kenny" being a very oblig- ing young gentleman, he promptly drove a single into centre field, rue Hawkins rounded third and streaked?' home with the .million dollar run.. Needless to say Pickett and Hawkins• were the toast of the crowd after the' game. Hawkins did not take his. usual ,being place at second on the I bench with an injured finger. In his absence Hovey played second, but Rawlins' one time at bat was enough to place him in the hero role. It was a see -saw affair for the first five innings. Clinton took the lead in' the last of the 'first inning when Wagg and McDonald engineered a. clever play. Wan singled,- after Mc- Dcnald had• walked, advancing Mc- Donald to third. With two out Wagg- broke for second and Welsh whirling, threw the ball to first. At the same time McDonald was going for home 'ancl before they tagged Wagg out McDonald had crossed the plate with• the first tally. It was a swell play,.

Sheardown worked Stock for a walk. Welsh then sent him home with a three -base hit and later seared him 'self when Phalen singled. I Clinton tied the score in the fifth when Pickett scored after connecting for a double. From then until the tenth it was anybody's game. "Riley"' Johnston figured in a sparkling play when he made a brilliant back -hand' stop and throw to first for a close out-. This man Duquette, the Goderich shortstop, played a fine game. He' 'saved Welsh three times on brilliant estops that looked like sure Clinton hits, and seemed always in the wrong' 'place—we mean for Clinton. I Dick Welsh and Gordie Stock were the opposing pitchers and both pitch• ed the entire game. The Sailors out ;hit the Colts 8 to 6. Welsh had nine strikeouts to Stock's four. Pickett led the Clinton batters with two hits in five times at bat, one of them a double. Welsh and Phelan were the• only two Gotterich batters who con- nected twice for .safe hits. Ciintoir had 3 errors to Goderich 2. And so the Colts advance into the Group Finals. The Goderich boys played fine ball in the playoffs, and ' • (Continued on page 4) Our New Story A new story is started in The News - Record this week and it will be well to get the first of it.
