CLINTON DEFEATS EXETER The Clinton hard ball team jour- neyed to Exeter on Monday evening, and met the Exeter boys for the third time this year, and so far they have been very sueecssful against this team, making it three straight wins over them in this game, when they won by the handy margin of 10-3. Clinton got away to a good start, when Exeter made a few muffs in the field, scoring c n 4 runs n s in the second, g and they continued in the lead throughout. "Slim" Brant went the route for the locals, and aided by timely hitting by his team-mates, he won and pitch- ed a nice game, Exeter had Bill Mote on the mound and this old veteran dished up his usual curves and dips in fine style. Clinton plays Zurich here tonight and a win will put the locals well up in the group. The game tonight should be the best yet, as Zurich always has a good ball team, and have been going strong this year. However, they will have plenty of opposition front the home sters, who havebeenknocking the ball all over the lot the last two games. THAT SATURDAY GAME Local soft -ball fans had the pleas- ure of witnessing a game played on the home diamond on Saturday be- tween Manager A. S. enktey's all-star team, picked from the town league and Mike Cook's famous British Con- sols front Toronto. • The Consols arrived in town in their own radio -equipped motor bus: They were' a fine Iooking lot of boys, 'wearing smart uniform of purple and white sweaters with the trade' name' worked in, and grey' trousers. Aes they warmed up on the field be- fore "play ball" was.called it ' was easily discernable by those watching that the locals were up against a stiff proposition, which their•:ftrsst bat- ting' effort amply eonfirnted. They' were wise to Carrick from •the :first ball and sent the pill everywhere but within reach of local fielders. On the other hand the Ali:Stars who, by the way, had had no practice. as a `team, could not connect ' with Thompson's curves Bind twists and the Consols piled up a total of 'eleven runs before the locals had a man'ov- er the plate. ' As the game wore on a few run- ners came home, and the score board showed' five runs to their credit. The Consols, meantime,' having made the count 17, which. was the final score. Carrick is familiar with the base. ball and did not seem'to be able 'to adjust himself' to the ehanget For the' latter half of the game Gordon Ross 'did 'the' tossing and ,was more puzzling. to the city squad. Thomp- son of the Consols exchanged places midway in• the game' -with Durran. The game'veas too one-sided to be really interesting, though there, was some real good work in •fielding by the Iocals. '"Jerry Holmes' `'difficult catch of a long fly in. right field, and a snappy double play when Hawkins eaught'out the batter and a runner at third and second bases.

LOCALS WIN FROM MITCHELL In a Huron -Perth league game played d h re Thrusday evening, ng, the Mitchell nine were given a decisive defeat at the hands of the Iocals, the latter piling up a score of 14 runs to 5. In the first the locals ran up five, while the visitors were held scoreless. The visitors broke into the scoring in their third session at bat, account- ing for two runs. The locals piled up another five and continued to add to their substantial lead throughout the game. The Perth town leaders of the I group were outplayed at every stage , of the game, their best work being I done in fielding, spore classy stuff 1 bringing a hand from the grandstand. Gee was yanked after the fifth and replaced by Rogers, who packed a wicked ball though lacking puzzling dips. Hovey held the mound through- out the game and had the batters fanning the air at times. Fans shivered with the cold as the temperature continued its downward course, but they stood their ground and the game was well worth a lit- tle punishment in the way of discome fort.
