Win Final Game In Stratford 4 To 3 But Lose Round 7 To 6 Deserved Better Fate Could Not Get Equalizer Clinton Colts took their final bow in the hockey realm oriwTuesday night in Stratford arena, before a crowd estimated at nearly 2500 howling fans when they passed from the Inter- mediate B competition, in the most tnrilling spectacle of the year. Start- ing the game two goals down as a result of the 4-2 reverse handed them in Niagara Falls on Saturday night by Thorold's Mountaineers, the Colts set the pace all the way, and on the play ,on Tuesday night, de- served a better fate. Sensational goaltending by- McGregor in the Thor- old nets, coupled with a stout-hearted defence, was the main factor in keep- ing the Colts at bay. Time after time McGregor stopped Clinton drives -from ten and fifteen feet out and jumped with the agility of a jackrab- bit to smother rebounds. Stade, too, played splendidly for Clinton, al- though one soft one, the first of the game, got by him, but several times he stopped what looked like sure goals. Three times during the game the Colts came within one goal of tying the round but always fell short of the tying counter. 'They made their biggest bid in the second period when they displayed a burst of speed and combination that had the Mountain eers panicky, and just overanxious- ness and tough luck prevented them from at least tying the round. The Colts won the game 4 to 3, but lost on the round 7 to 6 as a result of their 4-2 reverse in Niagara. All told this year Clinton played 16 games and of the 16, lost only 2, a splendid record for any hockeycke Y team. They knocked off everything they meet with ease until they bumped into the Mountaineers from Thorold. But the Colts went out in a blaze of glory, and were not defeated by a better team, but just the breaks of the game. First Period The. Colts had enough chances in the first period to tie the score, but it was Thorold who cashed in, with a very lucky one after five minutes of play Collucci sent a bouncing shot from the blue line which Stade played rather carelessly and the puck car- omed into the corner of the net off his pads. Streets and Pickett were in for a shot and immediately Gibbs was in. Turner and Thompson were turned aside by Stade. F. McEwan hit the post a minute later. Rath test- ed McGregor with a backhand, then came Collueci's sloppy goal. McEwan was in but missed, as was Streets. Thorold had a chance with a man loose., Payne was sent off for trip- ping Pickett. Gibbs missed a won- derful chance and so did McEwan. The locals were beginning to look like the scoreless wonders with their erratic shooting, but no doubt the bigger ice was affecting then. Rath was pen- alized for tripping Russ, and the per- iod ended 1-0 for Thorold. Second' Period Turner was in for a shot on Stade right after the start, but at this point Clinton came to life and for about ten minutes peppered McGregor from ev- ery angle, and play was constantly in Thorold territory. Streets was in the clear but missed. Clinton broke three abreast but mussed up a real chance: Ken. Pickett missed when right in on top of: McGregor. Finally after 6 min- utes Gibbs and Streets combined for Clinton's first goal, Gibbs scoring when right on top of McGregor. Two minutes later "Red" Rath let one go from well out and caught the lower right-hand cornea of the net when McGregor failed to get in front of it. Turner was penalized and the Colts pressed hard to tie the round but just couldn't do it. McGregor leaped and dove at everything and every- body and was both lucky and good on at least a dozen shots. After 12 minutes of play Weller tied the score when he and Payne and Horne work- ed a three-man 'attack right in on Stade. Clinton came back strong, Mc- Ewan was right in and missed. At the.17•minute mark Kennedy and Pic- kett combined to put the Colts one up again. Kennedy carried the puck right in and passed to Pickett. 'Mc- Gregor didn't have a chance. Just before the period ended Russ : was right in. on Stade and the latter had to be good to save. ' The, period ended 3-2 for Clinton, and it was decidedly Clinton's period, Third Period In the first two minutes of play Thorold missed what looked like two sure goals. RussandTurner were right in on Stade with not a Clinton man in sight and Stade saved bril- liantly. A moment later Turner was TRE HOME PAPER'. The Farmers' Market Wheat, $1.30.' Oats, 55c.

Everyone is asked to re- member this date. Mrs. Margaret Rhynas will be the special speaker during the afternoon meeting. Cards and dancing will be arranged for the evening. • Unusual Tombstone The other day Mr. Grant, who con- ducts the tombstone business in town, showed us a stone he had just com- pleted, which is to be placed in the Clinton cemetery at the grave of Ing Hong, local chinaman, who died on February 8th, 1937. • With the exception of the words; "Hong Ing, 1937," the lettering is done in. Chinese characters, telling the district in China from which he cane, the date of birth, and the date of death. It is customary for the remains to rest in the place of interment` for front 3 to 7years. They are then removed and shipped to China for fi- nal burial. The stone, however, re- mains at the grave here; and the deli- cate lettering will be viewed with in- terest by all who see it. Glazier Forsyth The marriage of Vera Elizabeth, only daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth, and the late Henry Forsyth, of Egmond- ville, to Wilfred Albert, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Glazier of CIin- ton, took place on Wednesday, ch 24th, at2 o'clock, 1 at the hone of the bride. Rev. A. W. Sheppard offic- iating. The bride took her filaee under an arch of evergreens and was given a- way by her brother, Mr. Ivan Forsyth. Miss M. Grieve, of Egmondviile, play= ed the -wedding march. After the ceremony, sixteen guests sat down to tables decorated in pink and white for the wedding dinner. The happy couple left on a trip to points east, in alone only to have Stade stop hint again. The Lounsbury brothers tied the count at the 2.45 mark when L Lounsbury scored on his brother's as- sist Gibbs hit the goaltender in the face with the puck and the game was held up for some time. After things got going again F. McEwan picked up the puck in front of the goal and shot Clinton into the lead once again at the 7 minute mark. Kennedy was given a penalty and the Colts were hard pressed to hold the lead. After he came back on Streets was in alone but was stopped. Foster had tough luck on his try when he was right in. About ' midway through the period Russ was penalized and it looked like a real break for Clinton. They pres- sed hard but the Thorold defence was a stone wall. ` For the remainder of the game Thorold cleared the puck up the ice and the Colts tried valiantly for the goal that would tie the round but it was all in vain, The game end- ed with the score 4-3 in favor of Clin- ton, but 7-6 in favor of Thorold on the round. The genie was very fast and brit- liantly played all the way. The Colts never gave up till the final gong sounded, and when it was all over they were quick to congratulate their conquerors and wish thein the best of luck in the finals against Belle- ville, and we think that all the fans that saw the game will be pulling for Thorold to be in there when they meet up. with Belleville, and we wish them good luck in their final clash for the championship. Of the 2500 fans in attendance we venture to state that three quarters of them carne from Clinton and dis- trict, and if cheering could have won the game the Colts would have won by a dozen goals. A lot of the fans are brushing up on theirdummylan- guage the past couple of days, due to lack of voice control. However it's all over for this year, , and Clinton can be proud of their good hockey team. The Clinton band attended the game and kept everybody in good humor with their music during inter- missions.
