THE HOME PAPER
BASEBALL GAME AGAIN
POSTPONED,
TO BE PLAYEDAT RDAY
S U
AFTERNOONIN
7N_ W GRAM
•
Rain again caused a postponement
of the Hanover -Clinton O'.B,A.A. ball
game which was to have been play-
ed on the local diamond yesterday
afternoon. As a result the game is
to be played on the Wingharn ball
diamond Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
Threatening rain had the local man-
agement in a quandary up until noon
yesterday, but the clouds appeared
to have broken about 1 p.m. and
Hanover was informed that the game
would be played, so they wade the
journey down, and shortly after 4
o'clock the game got under way as
scheduled, and so did the rain. Mc-
Donald, the first pian up was the
only man to bat. Freddie got him-
self a nice single and struggled down
to first base, only to have the rain
pepper, down in earnest, and the
umpire called time. For over half
an hour players, management and
the half 'dozen fans who weren't scar-
ed by the threatening weather "pow-,
wowed" around in the mud, but fin-
ally the "Umn." called the whole
thing off, due to the unfit condition
of the grounds.
It is possible that Tommy Jardine,
Clinton's new speedball artist, will be
on the mound for the locals in Sat-
urday's game.
Clinton and Hensall Tie
In Juvenile Play -Offs
The first game of the Juvenile
play-offs took place between Clinton
and Hensall, on the Hensall diamond,
on Tuesday afternoon. The result
was a 4-4 tie and the return game
will be played in Clinton Saturday
afternoon, game called for 3 o'clock.
Draper and Redden opposed each
other on the mound, and both per-
formed brilliantly. The few hjs
Draper chid allow, he kept well scat-
tered. Rolph Monteith's timely :hit-
ting accounted for two of Clinton's
four runs. Clinton tied the
score with two runs in the sixth in-
ning, after, trailing the Hensall boys
most of the game, and neither team
odu. d break the tie, In the nintle in-
ning Hensall had the sacks loaded
with two Men out, but Draper struck
the next man out, to retire the side,
and end the game.
The return game on Saturday
should be a real tussle, as these two
teams are very evenly matched, so
conte out and help to cheer our young
boys to victory. The winner of this
series will be awarded the Supertest
Trophy. ,

County Takes Over Road
Running From llohnesville
Official confirmation has been
received that the County will take
control of the road from Holmesville
down the llth concession, through
Varna, to the Zurich Road.
Some two years ago a petition
was circulated among property own-
ers in tate above locality which was
presented` to the County Council. A
by-law was passed, and the Govern-
ment has finally agreed to assume
control i'
of the road.
Mr. James Ballantyne, M.L.A., has
spent much time and effort in con-
vincing the authorities that they
should accept the responsibility, and
much credit is due hint for his good
work.
The improvements which will fol-
low will be 'a great benefit to resi-
dents of Goderich and Stanley Town-
ships, and also the surrounding
towns. '
Many Attend Band Frolic
The annual band extravaganza and
evening of fun held last Thursday ev-
ening was well attended, and band
officials report that ,results as a
whole ' were gratifying.
The evening's entertainment was
officially opened b y the Seaforth
Highlander's Band. They assembled
at the lower end of the town's busi-
ness section and marched to the post.
office square. where a temporary
bandstand had been erected for the
occasion. There they gave an en-
joyable program. leollowing this the
evening was given over to the games
of bingo, etc., where a free -spending
crowd tried their luck for the many
grand prizes awarded to the lucky
ones.
Shortly after eleven o'clock draw-
ing for the 75 prizes took place, win-
ners being drawn and announced by
Mi. George H. Elliott, who officiated
in his usual capable and jocular man-
ner. The winner of the grand prize,
an occasional chair, was, Mr. Ed.
Scruton.
When the last ticket had been
drawn the crowd quickly .broke up,
some to attend games again, others
to go to the dance held under the
auspices of the Band in the town
hall, while others left for their re-
spective homes.
Thus the activities of the band are
brought to a close for another season,
but they will be heard from when-
ever an occasion arises, demanding
their presence. In the past they have
contributed freely during the winter
at hockey games. and have no doubt
been an inspiration to the Clinton
team, also .providing good entertain-
ment between periods for the specta-
tors.
The Clinton 'Concert Band is a big
asset to our town, a fact which at
times seems to be overlooked. That
their work is appreciated was evident
by the support they received at the
frolic. and we hone that they will long
continue to serve the town as they
have so abler done in the past.

seau conducted' a hotel in Hanover. --
Since corning here he has built up a
very successful business among the -
travelling public who have appreciat-
ed his hospitality. Many of his pat-
rons have preferred to motor from
surrounding towns in order to enjoy .
a quiet night's rest under his roof
where they would be undisturbed by -
the noise and bustle from beverage'
roost patronage.
For the first time in the long his
tory p' the hotel. which is one of
the oldest established houses in the
l prolance, it will be unoccupied. No
successor has as yet been named,
and such concern has been expressed
locally in this regard.
