The New Era Est. 1865> THE HOME PAPER.: Local Nine Get Away On Wrong Foot Beaten By Goderich 5 to 3! The summer edition of the Clinton Colts -the baseball team -celebrated the opening of the baseball season on the home diamond' on Tuesday even- ing by losing to the visiting Goderich Sailors, by a score of 5-3. The game Was a good one, considering it was the first of the season for the locals. Goderich had the advantage, having played a game against Zurich pre- viously. Wagg, Pickett and McEwan were missing from the local lineup and their places were taken by Mc- Innes, Hovey and Hawkins. 'Welsh pitched a good game for Goderich, al- lowing Clinton only 6 hits and having 7 strikeouts. Goderich had 4 errors. Stock pitched equally well for the lo - eels, allowing 7 hits and striking out 6 hien. Clinton had 7 errors, and this was practically the reason they lost the game, because Stock pitched well enough to win any ball game. Lack of practise showed the locals ata great disadvantage, but with a few good workouts under their belt they will be a contending team. Goderich secured a couple of hits, and assisted by some Clinton errors, scored four runs in the second inning. Yonngbiutt took second on a passed ball by Hawkins and came home on Duquett's two bagger. Arthur scored next and Duquett and Fisher singled and came home on Phelan's two -bag- ger for total of four runs. Clinton scored twice in the fifth, Stock and McDonald walked, and both came home on Hawkins' single. In the sixth McInnes was on on a field- er's choice, stole second and scored on Stock's single. Welsh's run in the seventh sewed up the game for the visitors. He came home when White bottled the ball on the third out and the game was called at the endof theeighth 1 g on account of darkness. There is little change in the person eel of the local lineup from last year. Jerry Holmes is the only one of last years team missing. Clinton is sport - in a new second baseman in the per- son P son of Bert White, formerly of London, and on his play the other night he looks like a real prospect.. Hawkins, who last year played second most of the time will probably divide catching duties with McEwan who r itm ss' 1 to attend all the Ends � o rhe tt n P games Jack Hanson may play first with Pickett moving to the outfield, This prove is, due to tine fact that Pic- kett also finds business too pressing to attend all the games. me . Outside of that the team is about t the same as last year. The line-upst Clinton: Hovey, if McDonald, 3rd; White, 2nd; Hawkins, c; Hanson, lst; Johnson, ss.; McInnes, rf; Glew, cf; Stock p.

CARRICK' KNOCKED FROM BOX Bob Carrick, formerly a hurler with the Clinton baseball team, made his debut as a pitcher for the Strat- ford Nationals yesterday, against Strathroy. Apparently it wasn't Bob's day for he was removed from the game in the second inning, after, allowing Strathroy 2 hits for 3 tuns. Coleman went in, but he too suffered the same fate, allowing 8 runs to cross the plate. Carter Kerslake, who played for Staffa formerly, then took over the mound duties and allowed no hits for the rest of the game, but Stratford lost 11 to 7. Juvenile Baseball League.

Man and Beast Make Friends Early last Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Ray Whitmore of Holmes - villa had a rather extraordinary ex- perience x-perience while driving a herd of set- tle from the pasture field. They had. just returned to the barn when they noticed a deer standing a short dis- tance away from them in the yard. The animal seem d in afriendly n00d so they decided to see how close they could get to. it and, as they approach- ed nearer, much to their surprise, the deer started corning towards them, in fact he came so close that MrsWhitmoreput her arms about its neck, and the animal returned the caress by giving her a healthy lick, dog fashion, on the face. During the course of its visit "Oscar", the collie dog, tried to make friends with the deer, but it was no go. After some time, during which it jumped a fence and rubbed nosesher a ith f wr d o young calves and some lambs, it fin- ally ambled away to the fields, and was seen no more. No doubt tlns is the sane deer ar that has been in thisneighborhood for some time, and being always treated kindly, the animal has become quite tame. Little Locals Several complaints have Been tirade regarding children plucking and de- stroying flowers in town. When one has worked hard to cre- ate a good flower garden, it seems a shame that children should be allowed to willfully destroy the flowers.
