The wed CLINTON WINS AWAY FROM HOME Stock Pitches 1 -Hit Ball Last Night Iru Crediton COLTS WIN PAIR DURING WEEK FROM ZURICH AND CREDITON Gordie Stock, last night, "hurled the Clinton Colts to their second straight victory, winning a close de- cision from Crediton by the score of 8 to 2. The game was played in Crediton. Stock had the Crediton boys eating out of his hand all the way, and but for a couple of bad errors at third, he would have had a well-deserved shutout. The only pian to connect got a double off him. The Colts are supposed to play Exeter on the local diamond tonight, if the rain lets up and the diamond dries off. The Clinton Colts really got going last Thursday night when they play- ed Zurich in the latter place, and won by a score of 8-1. "Slim" Brant started on theound for the locals, o and Slim was in rare form, pitching two -hit ball for six innings, when he was hit in the elbow by a pitched ball and gave way for Gordie Stock. Gordie allowed only two softies from then on. Zurich collected only 4 hits in the nine innings of play. Clinton hit safely on 9 occasions, some of them being extra- base hits. "Wally" Wagg was in the local line-up for the first time this season, and his presence strengthened the team con- siderably. When the Colts all get out there, we will have a team worth cheering for, and one that should win plenty of games. Be on hand to see the. game to- night, when Exeter are the visitors at the' Recreation Park. Juvenile Baseball Season Opens LOCAL BIDS OPEN WITH 16-2 VICTORY OVER SEAFORTH The Juvenile baseball season was opened in Clinton on Monday even- ing, when the local Juveniles played their first game with the visiting Sea- forth kids, on the local diamond. The game had not advanced very f it that the visi- tors were no match for the local kids. Clinton scored five runs in the first, five in the second, one in the third 'and five in the fourth for a to- tal of 16 runs, while Seaforth's one in the first and one in the fifth, was all they accounted for. The final score was 16-2, and only four and one- half inning were played, due to threat- ening rain. Clinton used three pitchers, John- ston started, and he only allowed one; Butler followed, and Seaforth got no runs off him; Draper finished the game and he walked a couple of men, one of these walks turning into a run. Powell and Fremlin divided the catch- ing duties, Powell, G. Monteith, Hawkins, Campbell and Neilans crossed -t1l plate in Clinton's half of the first in- ning. Neilans' drive was a two- bagger. Messenger crossed the plate for the visitors. Clinton came -up with five more runs in ' the second, Powell again started the ball, rolling, G. Monteith followed, - along with Campbell, Neil- ans and R. Monteith. In the third Hawkins was the only runner to cross the plate. - In the fourth inning Clinton piled them up again with five more runs, Lockwood, Butler, Powell, Hawkins and Colquhoun scoring. Several Clinton runs resulted from the wild- ness of the Seaforth pitchers. Seaforth scored one run in the first of the fifth, and due to threatening rain the game was called, so that Clinton only had four battings. The Clinton kids are a snappy lit- tle outfit, plenty of chatter and zip, and after they overcome their ner- vousness and anxiousness, will be worth while watching, With three good pitchers and a couple of good catchers, and outfields and infielders to spare, theyshould, round up - a mighty fine team, and some real games are in store. Hensall, Zurich and Exeter will undoubtedly have strong clubs, and the locals • should bear in mind that Monday night's game is no indication of what oth- ers may be.

Exhibition Football Ends In 2.2 Tie The local football team played- an exhibition game with the Ethel ele- ven last Thursday evening which ended in -a disputed goal being allow- ed to tie the count at 2-2. The two teams were evenly match- ed and the play moved from one end of the field - to the other, with the boys getting in many lusty clouts at the ball, but on the whole the kicking on both sides was wild and the pas- sing was not so hot. Both teams need plenty of practise. Ethel scored first 'when, after five minutes of play Snyder drove .one past McInnes when be was loose in front of the Clinton goal. Before the endof the half Wilson tied the count when he shot one past Hunter. The half ended 1-1. - Shortly after the start of the se- cond half Dale put Clinton in the lead when he beat Hunter with a bullet drive that the latter failed to touch. Ethel pressed hard and just as the time was up Snyder shot one at the Clinton goal and the goal judge de, Glared it a goal, although a large number of fans close by declared it had cleared the top of the barrier by a foot. However the game ended in a 2-2 tie. As the game was only an exhibition affair no great argument ensued, but had it been "a league game things would probably have boiled up plenty over the calling of this goal, - The locals were sporting their new sweaters, which were donated to them by Mr. Orval Noble. These sweaters look real snappy and are much ap- preciated by the local team. The line-ups: - ''" r Clinton—Goal, McInnes; full backs, Bateman, Layton; half -backs, Colqu- houn, Pepper, E.
