The two teams battled on even grounds for the biggest part .of the nine in- nings, with Brigden leading 2 to 1 up until the eighth inning. However in the eighth, Jardine, who until then had pitched wonderful ball, had a bad inning, and the Brigden boys . piled up five more runs and went on to win the game. The Brigden pitcher, a left-hander, is reported to have had a tryout with Detroit Tigers last Spring and ac- cording to reports he is an exception- ally good pitcher, but the Colts feel they can beat him. In the game last Saturday Clinton had as many hits as Brigden, but they just weren't corning at the right time. The two teams meet here in a re- turn game to -morrow afternoon at 3.30 in the afternoon. Tommy Jar- dine will likely be on the mound for the locals, so a real pitchers battle is in store for the local fans. London Beats Juveniles Clinton Juveniles tangled with Lon- don Lorneavenues on Saturday after- noon, in an exhibition game here, and London won out 10 to. 7. Bob Dra- per pitched for the locals, but Lon- don knitted hint for ten rens. ,Clin- ton batters were weak at the crucial moments, but it was a good ball game to watch. There is no time set as yet for the game with Hensel), but it will prob- ably get under way as soon as pos- sible. Ladies' Guild Meeting Mrs. H.

If there is a better economic system to be had,call it Christian socialism or call it by any nameyouu like, but in the name of the Father and of the Son, and Holy Spirit, "let's have it," was the challenge she threw out to her .hearers.

In this country 'of ours,' she said, where there is so much wealth, where fruit is so abundant that it rots upon the ground, where vegetables go, to waste where milk is thrown into 'the gutter, why can we not work out some system where every person may have the, necessities of life? It can be done, she affirmed,but only when the will of God becomes the will of the people, Mr. Burton, in introducing the spea- ker told of her work in the city of Thanksgiving Service A special Thanksgiving service will be held in the Wesley -Willis Church under the auspices of the Ministerial Association on Monday evening, .Oc- tober 11th, at 10.30 a.m. Rev.'Gordon Peddie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, will be the special speaker.
