T. H. HARDY NEW TRUSTEE
Alt the ,meeting of ratepayers of
St. John's. 'Ward held in the council
chamber en Friday evening to receive
nominations for school trustee, to
fill out the.: terra of the late James A.
Ford, the only name putt forward was
that of Thos. H. Hardy. Mr. Hardy
duly made quelifieation and is. the
chosen representative, Mir. Hardy is
no novice, coming ;black to the •board
after a nine-year vacation. 'Be'was
a member of the board which had in
hand the re -modelling of the school
building some years ago. St. John's
Wlard actually has three represeiuta-
tives en the board, Mlessrs, G. T. Jen-
kins, C. W. Draper and W. Hardy,
but Mr. Jenkins really represents St.
George's Ward, having been 'chosen
when he was 'a resident of that ward

FINAL GAMES OF SCHEDULE
TO -NIGHT
The final games in the Town Lea

performances.

Leafs. This game, while it is not an I
important one, will undoubtedly be ;
a good one, as the Leafs have a
strong teens and will be ant to hand
the Maroons a licking. The Maroons,
however, are sure of first place and
the game Will have no bearing on"
the change 'in the play-offs.
The second game should be a real
sizzler, as the third-place Hawks
have a real chance to tie the second
place Bruins for a play-off berth.
Beth teams •are strong and are well -
Matched, and the Hawks will be out
there battling for all. that's in them,
as will also the hard-hitting Bruins.
It is bound to be an interesting strug-
gle, with plenty of thrills and. bumps,
and we don't know where you could
get a cheaper evenings sport.
The interest this year has not been
as keen as last year. This is very re-
grettable as the hockey played in this
league is an excellent way to bring
along future players, and that is
what it was originally started for,
and it has brought along some fine
prospects.
The play-off dates have not been
set,, but some good games will be
looked for, anti ere long the much
coveted News -Record Trophy will
either have a new home or will rest
M the same old nook—that of Liver-
mere's Maroons, wherever it may be.

CENTENARIAN DIES
The death occurred in Goderich on
Thursday last of Mrs. Mary Donald -
sol;, widow of James Donaldson, for-
merly of Bayfield, who had only a
couple of weeks ago rounded out the
one hundredth year of her age. Mrs.
Donaldson was a daughter of the late
Jacob Miller and was a sister of Mrs.
Wm. Perdue of Clinton.
Mrs. Donaldson never knew the
taste of medicine and only in her lat-
er years when she "overdid it a bit,"
did she require the attendance of 'a
physician. She had remained active
until her death and although nearly
blind for some time she continued; to
knit incessantly. Her memory re-
mained good and she ;could clearly
recount the early history* of Huron
County in which she had lived far
98 years. •
The chapters of Scripture which
she memorized during the period of
overtaking blindness were a solace'
to the last.
She was born in Tipperary, Ire-
land. When tsro year's of age, with
her parents she made what was then
a perilous trip to Canada,' settling on
a farm in Goderich, Township. Even
today the old homestead, on the 9th
concession, is occupied .t by relatives
of the founders, who came out with
a group of people to establish 'what
Was known as the Tipperary Settle -
Mary Miller lived on the farm with
her parents for 26' years. She was
married to James Donaldson and
farmed successfully' with him in 'We-
wanosh and Stanley Townships for
oyer thirty.
yeare, when they moved
to Bayfield. While there, Mr. Don-
aldson operated a sawmill and elec-
trio light, plant until his retirement
16 years ago. The couple then went
to Goderieh, where Mir: "Donaldson'
died 10 years ago.
She is survived by two sons, James
Donaldson, Goderich, and Charles
Donaldson, of •Ottawa. There are
four grandchildren and three great
grandchildren. Two 'daughters and
a son died years ago, one daughter
passing, away when <a child. '*s.
Donaldson's two 'sisters are 'Mrs.
William Perdue, of 'Clinton and Mrs.

COLTS IN MIDST OF REA
WITH MITCHELL
L STRUGGLE
FOR GROUP HONOURS'
FIRST GAME OF ROUND ENDS IN
3-3 TIE
Mitchell Here Tomorrow
Night For Final Game
Tho Colts, together with a goodly
number of fans, journeyed down to
Mitehell Last night, where they en-
gaged co £li
ct with that town's
representatives in the 0.H.A. No
one was disappointed with the game
and everyone from Clinton was well
satisfied with the final results. The
score ended in a 3-3 tie, and the Colts
can consider themselves very lucky
that they carate home on even terms,
and have an even break for the home
game here to -morrow night. It is
the first time this year that they
have been held en -wren grounds, and
the Mitchellites were well deserv-
ing' of the tie. To say that the Colts
Were playing their best hockey would
he unfair to
the team. Nothing was
going right, and neither forward
lines could get •their passing plays
going and at times Mitchell had them
badly disorganized. 0n the other
hand Mitchell was playing inspired
hockey, key, with, Culliton, Wright and
Leppard going great guns. These
bays skated like fiends and were a
threat whenever they were on the
ice, the home defence at times not
being able to keep them iii check. Of
the entire team Culliton was out-
standing.
Mitchell gob the drop on the
Colts right from the"face-oir and
gave Elliott in the nets a very anx-
ious time of it. They led 1-0 at the
end of the first; 3-2 at the end of the
second, and in the third were out-
scored by tht Colts, who canoe to life
in time to tie the count at 3-3.
With the first period about quarter
gone, Culliton and Wright worked in
and Wright passed to Culliton for the
first counter. Clinton tried hard but!
gummed up all their chances. Nut-
chell came close on several plays and
Elliott saved the day on several oc-
casions. It was- decidedly M'itchell'•s
period. !
The second period saw Mitchell
still forcing the play, and Stoneman
of the defence skated in to take
Moore's i'eboutid to put Mitchell 2 up.
This game was the first time that the
Colts had not opened the scoring
this season. Ken. Pickett gave the
homo town faithfuls their first cause
to rejoice when he banged in his own
rebound after a desperate rush on
the Mitchell citadel, to make the
count 2-1. Clinton was playing bet-
ter hockey, and the Mitchell boys
seemed to be slowing up under the
fast pace, Culliton again put Mitchell
2 up when he accepted Porterfield'! -
pass at the blue line, rounded the de-
fence and skated in on Elliott. This
play rather caught the Colts flat -

CLINTON 6--WOODSTOCK i
Iu the first game here last Thurs-
day night the Colts ' won by a 6-3.
score. The ice was in very poor con--
dition owing• to the mild weather, and'
it was impossible for either team to
display anything in. the line of real
nice hockey. As is always the ease
when a strange team -conies to town,
everyone was eager to see what they -
could de, and this no doubt account--.
ed for the fairly large crowd in at-.
tendance, in spite of the very unfav-
ourable weather.
The Colts were not long in getting'
results, for less than a minute hadl•
gone when R. McEwan shot -one and'.
F. McEwan raced in and slapped the'
rebound past Goalie Murdoch. In less
than two minutes Crane of the visi-
tors rounded the defence neatly and
slipped one under• Elliott who slid be
meet him. Before the period ended.
MclEwan and Holmes put the home-.
stets in the lead, McClean scoring on
Ilolmes' pass, Play was fairly even:
with the homesters showing a littler
better teani play.
The Colts turned it on in the second'
and had the visitors on the run elkthe way. Ken. Pickett was the spear
head of many dangerous rushes, and?!
finally. succeeded in handing Waters -
a pass in front of the nets and the.
latter 'banged it in •Gibb
y
was hay-
ing
a great time missing the nets and!
hitting the goal -tender, These ,boys:
played smart hockey, and undoubtedly'•
missed their regular left-winger, Kelt '
Streets, who was out with a cracked'
rib. R. McEwan and "Red" Rath com-
bined to make the count 4-1, Mclwan:
scoring on •Rath's pass:
• "Timmer" .MoEwan handed the•.
visitors a gift, goal when, shortly elf --

the puck across the goal mouth and^
