To date each have ' won their home game by the narrow mar- gin of one goal, leaving them tied at six goals apiece, and necessitating a third game which will he:. played at Galt . to -night. Clinton and Durham appearto be as evenly matph- ed as any, two toamis. could 'be, al- though at the start of the season few figured on Clinton getting ,very far against some of the ' other strong clubs ..in the .series, There isone thing very much in Clinton's. favour win or lose,` every member, of their team is a home- brew, something Durham and most other clubs in the various series cannot lay claim: to, with the, possible exception of the great teams turned out of Kitchener every year," PORTER`S HILL .
