" CLINTON'S f v k 1 i . "LEADING STYLE "4}IOPPE " CLINTON ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28TH, 1937. JUNIORS LOSE TWICE THIS WEEK St. Marys and Seaforth Win Last Thursday night Clinton's Jun- iors lost a close decision ,and one in which they at least should have had a tie, to St. Marys, in the local arena. The score was tied at 3-3 with less than a minute remaining in the final, period when a long shot from the St. Mary's end of the rink developed into a rolling puck, one which Neilans in the Clinton net misjudged, the puck rolling over his stick after he had come out of his net to stop it, and go- ing on about eight feet into the net for a very fluky goal. The locals didn't have a chance to even matters as almost immediately the bell went to end the game. "Ches" Neilans put the locals off to a good start, when about midway through the first period he scored the first goal. With two minutes remain- ing in the period Dunseith tied it up For St. Marys. In the second St. Marys took the lead on a goal by Stevens, and this time Bob Draper netted the count with about a minute to go in the per- iod. The locals took the lead in the third when Lawson put Clinton one up, but a few minutes litter Noble tied it for St. Marys. Play then moved into the St. Marys territory and Clinton did everything but score. Finally with less than a minute remaining the fluky goal by Noble won the game for St. Marys. It was a tough one for the Clinton kids to lose. Clinton: Goal, 'Neilans; defence, Johnson, Hovey; centre, Campbell; wings, Draper, C. Neilans; subs, Law- son, Schoenhals, Riley, Finch, Seeley.

Clinton Juniors lost another game on Monday night to Seaforth's smart Junior team by a score of 5-1. The game was a good one in spite of the 'lob -sided score, and Seaforth although the best team, certainly were not four goals better than Clinton. The locals were playing in the toughest of luck all night and just couldn't click. They were the equal to Seaforth in all respects excepting in scoring goals. Neilans in the Clinton net played a stellar game, as did several others. "Riley" Johnston played the entire game. The line of Draper, Campbell and C. Neilans were going good, although, Neilans was suffering from a bad knee and naturally it bothered him. The second line was composed of three Londesboro boys and they too played hard, but their best efforts were just not good e- nough for Seaforth. This was Clin- ton's' third straight loss. The attendance at these games has been very discouraging for the locals. At last night's game only a handful of fans were on deck when the game started, and this has been the case all year -not much encouragement for Clinton's futures in Intermediate hoc- key -and they deserve a. better fate, because this game in particular was worth a quarter of any man's dollar. They have no more home games un- less theythe make but still have three games away, so they still have a chance to get in there, and if they can get clicking on passes and around the net we still have high hopes of them. Colne on you young Colts] The game started off rather slowly but as .the period progressed things warmed up and sticks were carried high. Play was even and both Neil- ans and Rathman saved hard ones. Finally with 18 minutes gone Van Bell shot one from the side which caught the right corner of the net. Two minutes later Dunlop got one from a mix;upin front of the Clinton net when the locals were slow in clearing. Seeley and Nicholson were the only offenders for penalties. The.second period saw the scoring more /even with each team getting one apiece. "Short" Campbell put Clinton back in the running at the ten minute mark on a nice end-to- end rush. B. Riley and Larkworthy were penalized and with five men a- side Leppard, husky defenceman for Seaforth, led a rush which ended in Stapleton beating Neilans for Sea forth third counter. Trailing by two goals Clinton turn- ed it on in the third but just couldn't click. Both Campbell and Draper were in right off the bat but both missed: Seaforth widened the gap (Continued on page 4) Young Man quite Ill Mr. George Cardwell is in the local hospital and his condition is consid- ered serious enough, following an op- eration for appendicitis. The. young man's mother, who was spending the winter' with relatives in California, was, summoned home. Friends of the family are hoping that the young man mav:recover and anrarlily. THE HOME PAPER COLTS PLAY ITpRE O1J TUESDAY NIGIIT NEXT The Colts were to ,:ave played in, Stratford last night, but for some reason or other Stratford. wanted the game postponed until a future date. Stratford could have done worse than played their game 'in the Clinton ar- ena this week, as the fans are just itching for a game, there not being one here until next Tuesday night when Milverton play the Colts at the local arena. Milverton got away to a bad start but have improved with every game and by the time they meet the Colts, no doubt they will be going at full speed and it should be a real game. Clinton goes to Tavi- stock night tomorrow and from what we hear the Tavistock lads are all primed to take the dolts into camp. Get your right foot out first tomor- row night, Colts! Clinton Lady In Toronto Hospital Mrs. Cree Cook underwent a very serious operation in the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital on Monday last and the report as late as yesterday was that she was doing well. All hope for a rapidandcomplete recovery for her. Death Of Earl Crich After an illness' extending over two and a half years Earl D. Crich, only son of Mr. Iddo- Crich,passed away Y on Sunday at the home of his father, Townsend street: Mr. Crich was born in Tuckersmith totwnship, on a farm on the second concession then owned by his parents. But they later came into Clinton to reside, where he attended the Public school.

He was of a cheerful and happy disposition and always had a cheery greeting for all whom he met. He was a member of the Clinton Fire Company and was much missed by his fellow -firemen when •laid off by ill health.

Mr. Peacock was born in Clinton, his parents being Mr; and Mrs. Ro- bert Peacock, but the family later moved to Hullett township, where he grew up and farmed until about. fif- teen years ago, when he retired and came to Clinton to live.

New York only a few days before her brother's death, it not being realized that the end was near, andone brother, Louis Peacock of Hullett township, who is the youngest of the family.

Hospital Aid Formed A meeting was held in the council chamber on Tuesday evening to com- plete the organization of a Hospital Aid, which was fairly well attended. The following officers were elected: President: Miss Winnifred O'Neil. 1st Viae: Mrs. H. C. Lawson. 2nd Vice: Mrs. F. Fingland. Rec.-Secretary: Mrs. J. A. Sutter. Cor. -Secretary: Miss Lucile Grant. Treasurer: Miss Luella Walkinshaw: Committee Conveners: Social: Mrs. G. M. Counter. Sewing: Mrs. H. Fitzsimons, Buying: Mrs. T. Herman. Visiting: Mrs. H. M. Monteith. Membership: Mrs. J. L. Heard. Monthly meetings will, be held, ex- cept during July and August, on the first Tuesday in the month, in the council chamber. The work of the Aid will be to as- sist in anyway possible the board and to help carry on the work of the hos- pital smoothly and efficiently, and we do not doubt the ability of these ladies to give just such assistance, as they have, a good many of them, been running the Hospital themselves until a few monthsago, when it was taken over by a board of men. Lions Lockey League After a series of exhibition games tate Lions Hockey League staked the first scheduled game on Friday last when the Cubs took Dr. McIntyre's Dentals into camp to the tune of 4 to 2. During the early part of the game Dents had .much the better of the play, but Hawkins, in goal for Cubs, was a real stumbling block, and, although in close several tunes, they were unable to put the puck past him until finally Lockwood scor- ed on a nice solo play. Cubs then came to life and finding several cav- ities in Dents defence, rushed in four goals, the marksmen being. R. Mon- teith, Maddy, McEwan and G. Mon- teith, In the closing moments of the game I{ing Clancy scored 'for Dents from a scramble in front of the net. Cubs -Goal, Hawkins; - defence, Cooper, G. Monteith; forwards, Had- dy ,McEwan, R. Monteith, Hill, Car- ter. Dentals -Goal, Johnson; . defence, Cornish, Lockwood; forwards, Hun - king, IKem•iedy, Clancy, Carter. On Tuesday Bankers and Auto Parts played a 3 -all tie in a, game which displayed some good combina- tion. In the first period Powell scor- ed for Bankers and three minutes later Colquhoun evened. t11 count for Auto Parts. Bankers had more scoring power in the seco:ld period when "Min" Paxman and "Izzie" Powell flashed in on Butler and took turns placing the rubber behind hint. Butler claims that these tactics are very unfair as Izzie is not particular- ly noticeable when Min is in the vi- cinity and is, therefore, difficult to watch. The second period ended 3' to 1 for the Bankers. With about ten minutes to go Mc- Kenzie came off for a little chat with the penalty timekeeper and af- ter renewing old, acquaintances went out and scored two quick goals. In the closing moments of the game Auto Parts tried a little strategy when McKenzie (who was apparently fatigued) pushed the puck over the blue line to Bartliff who promptly put it in the net. This goal, however, did not count and the game ended a tie. It has been rumored that "Monty" may protest this game as Auto, Parts had an imported coach. Ken, however, claims that he was the spark plug of the team, Bankers - Goal, Steep; defence, Paxman, Aiken; forwards, Campbell, Powell, Counter, McDonald, Miller.
