. Promises To Enforce
The Temperance electors of the
riding of Huron in the Ontario Leg-
islature at a meeting assembled by a
very large majority endorsed the
candidature of Dr. R. H.• Taylor, of
Dashwood, the Conservative nominee
en account of the statement made by
him at the meetingas to his stand on
Temperance in general and the pro
sent Temperance Legislation in parti-
eular. Dr. Taylor made the state-
ment ` that he would if elected,, use
his vote and influence in the House
to further in every way the passing
of legislation closing the beverage
rooms in Huron, as he was conseien-
tious in the belief that they were a
menace to the youth of our Country.
The people of this County voted out
the bar room by the C.T.A. method
and this decision should be respect-
ed, and in making this statements he
had the assurance of Mr. Rowe, his
leader, that his party, if elected,
would recognize C.T.A. Counties as
dry territory. Jas. Ballantyne, the
Liberal zreminee; although invited
to the meeting' was not present. -
R .P. Watson, the President, ex-
pressed the opinion that the Tem—declare
perance people would welcome the
day when the liquor question could
be settled outside of party politics.
Beer authorities in Huron had been
issued in defiance of the expressed
will of the people as the "dry" ma-
jority in the County at the last
vote was over 11,000.
Rev. W. Bremner, the Secretary,
said that Mr. Hepburn did not need
to have adopted the baby as left On
his doorstep by the Henry Govern=
Ment, but that he could have repud-
fated it as he had the Hydro and
other Acts of the former Government.

COLTS TIE SERIFS WITH
HANOVER
Bert White Stars In' 6-5 Victory.
Win Second Game By Close
Score
The Clinton Colts and Hanover
played a wow of a game on Monday
afternoon and the Colts celebrated
the holiday by squeezing out a 6-6
victory. The game was tied at 5 -all
when the Colts went to bat in the
last half of the ninth, and Glew, the
first man no, hit safely down the
third -baseline,' stole second, was ad-
vanced to third and then after
Hovey and Pickett had both flied out,
Johnson walked and` "Slim" Brant
was sent in as a pinchhitter for
Gordie Stock, ' and tapped one just
half way between third land home,
and Glew raced across the plate with
the winning run.
It was an up -hill battle most of
the way for the Colts, but they fought
valiantly right to the finish and won
the game strictly on their merits—
never a • break the g
g all through game.
Gordie Stock pitched the entire
game for the locals and did a neat
job of it, allowing 10 hits for 5 runs,
striking out 4 and not passing a bat-
ter. McCartney pitched almost as
_
effectively for Hanover, allowing 11
hits for 6 runs, striking out 9 men
and issuing 4 passes.
The day was perfect for baseball
and a fair crowd was in attendance,
although the boys deserve better sup-
port for the brand of ball they are
playing. From now on the crowds
will be larger.
Clintontookan
early lead when,
after McDonald struck out White got
hold of one for two bases, was ad-
vanced to third on an error and slid
home before ICrugee got the ball on
himn. It was a fine effort on White's
part. Hanover scored the tying run
in the third. McCartney was on on
an.error, stole second, and scored on
Krugee's hit.
Hanover took the lead in. the sixth
when they scored one run on three
hits. It looked dark as the first two
men up singled, but Willoughby was
nipped off at the plate, then Mag -
wood scored when Moore . singled
Stock then struck out Thompson and
Wendorf to retire the side. Clinton
tied it up in their half of the sixth.
Glew and Pickett walked and both
advanced when Hovey was on byan
'error. Johnson brought Glew home
with a single, but Stock popped out
and McDonald grounded to retire the
side, leaving two men stranded.
Twice during the game the Colts had
the bases packed with only one out
and were only able to get one of them
across the plate.
Both team's again scored in the
seventh. Brown singled and scored
for Hanover.. on Willoughbly's hit.
Bert White got hold of one for a dou-
ble and came home when Hawkins
singled to again tie the score at 3 -all.
It looked like the Colts had the
game packed away when after re-
tiring Hanover in the eighth they
scored two big runs on three hits to
take a 5-3 lead. Hovey singled, as
did Johnson. Stock was safe on a
fielder's choice, when Johnson was
tagged going into second, but in the
meantime Hovey had gone to third.
McDonald was hit with a pitched ball
to load the bases, and Bert White
came through with a clean hit, scor-
ing both Hovey and Stock. McDon-
ald and White were left stranded
when Wagg and Hawkins grounded
out.
However, the Hanover boys fought
right back in the first of the ninth
and after: McCartney singled, Brown
drove one into centre field which
Glew lost in the long grass, and both
runners scored, Brown being credited
with a home run—talk about your
tough breaks—that sure looked like
it; The score was all tied up at 5
runs each.
But the Colts still had a punch left,
and seeing they couldn't get a break,
they went to work. Glew, first man
up, singled through third, stole se-
cond and
e-cond;and went to third when Hovey
flied • out. This was when Dick Tas-
ker put in Brant as a pinch -bitter,
and Slim laid one down that had the
Hanover..boys completely crossed up,
the ball stopped dead halfway be-
tween third and home, and Glew came
in with the winning run.
Bert White's timely, hitting • was
the big feature of the game. Besides
scoring twice himself, Bert produced
the hit in the eighth that Brought
Hovey and Stook home, so he really
was 'in on 4 of the 6 runs. Ile also
lost out on what looked like a
.home run when Willoughby picked
off his long fly way out in left field
rust on the edge of the. road. Mc-

DAY CAR ACCIDENTS
A fatal accident occurred on Mon-
day, when a roadster driven by Har-
old Livermore of Clinton, trashed, in-
to a heavy sedan driven by Harry
Bradley of Goderich. According to
reports, the sedan had backed out of
a farmers driveway onto 'the high-
way, at a point just over the crest
of a hill which obscured Livermore's
view. The roadster after crashing
into the sedan, rolled over three or
four times, throwing out the occu-
pants, Mrs. William Doherty of
Goderich, was almost instantly killed,
and her sister, Miss M. Lightly, crit-
ically injured. Livermore also re-
ceived injuries of a more or less ser-
ious nature.
Another accident involving father
and son occurred on the Cut Line
east of Holmesville, when Brenton
Hellyar, of Clinton, attempted to
pass a car driven by his father, W.
H. Hellyar. Brenton's car skidded,
crashed into his father's car, and
both careened into the ditch, clip-
ping off a hydro pole. Fortunately
no one was hurt, but both cars were
extensively damaged.

have got the Colts out of a hear of
trouble. Hawkins played a nice steady
game behind the plate. The boys
really have their heart in the game
now, and as this game indicates, are
in their fighting till the last man is
out.

Deciding Game Here On
Saturday Afternoon
The third and deciding game will
be played here on Saturday after-
noon, game called for 3.30 p.m. A
real game between two very evenly-
matched teams is assured, and a good
turnout • of fans will make it all the
more exciting—after all a few hun-
dred cheering fans are half the game
— so take a couple of hours off
and see a real ball game. In the
two games played only one run sep-
erates the two teams, Hanover win-
ning
i -ning
the first game 13 to 11, and
Clinton winning this one 6 to 5, that
is really an indication of how even
the two teams are.
The Colts played a postponed Hu -
con -Perth League game Tuesday 'af-
ternoon in Crediton, and the results
was a tie, each team scoring 14 runs.
Slim Brant toiled on the mound for
the locals, and at one stage the Colts
had a five -run lead piled up, only to
have the Crediton boys bang away
till they tied it upy Several of the
regular players were absent from the
line-up, but their places were most
capably filled by some ambitious
young fellows around town, who en-
joyed the afternoon chasing fly balls
around the Crediton ball -park. No
doubt some of them wish now they
had been absent particularly Freddie
McDonald, regular third -sacker, who,
almost bit his tongue off in a collison
with another player. It required six
stitches to mend the talking organ in
Freddie's face. It was tough that
such an accident should occur, parti-
cularly in a game that, meant only
the completing of, the H. and P. ache-
dule.
Frank McEwan played one of the,
field positions, and it is reported
"Timmer" played his best game of
the season, probably, of his whole
baseball career.
Juveniles Lose In EXeteh
The Local Juveniles raninto a
surprise defeat on Friday night,. at.
the hands of the Exeter Juveniles.
Exeter won the game' 7 to 4. ' . Bob
Draper was on the mound and Laurie
Colquhoun stopped them behind the
plate. Wild pegging on the bases
contributed largely to thelocals de
hard, grounder: in the ninth also may feat it is reported. •

shaped sprout, and two others were
joined together with a small heart -
