CLINTON EXTENDS WINNING STREAK TO FIVE STRAIGHT shut Out Goderich and Lucknow With Scores of 3To0and 10to0 :.Brant and Carrick I''itch Fine Ball Behind no -hit pitching by "Slink" Brant, the local boys -took the Code- rich 'Sailors into camp 3-0` in a sev en -inning ball game on the home: diamond on Monday night. It was their third triumph over the lake- shore boys in as many starts. Brant had the game well in hand all the way, and was backed by perfect fielding by his team mates. Goderich failed to get a man on first base dur- ing the entire seven -innings. On the other hand Clinton collected ten saf- ties for three runs off Owns -ed. It took, them until the fourth inning be- fore they crossed the plate with the first run. Wagg hit safely, he ad- vanced to second on Hawkins' single, and to third hi• d onr Car r k s longfly, McDonald brought hiin home with a single. Again in the sixth Clinton scared twice, :Garrick knocked a home -run, and McDonald followed with a three -bagger, 1l3cEwan brought hint in with a single to finish the scoring. In the first half of the first Du- quette grounded out, Murdock flied out and Christian struck -out. For Clinton, Pickett. ground out, Holmes got to first on an error, Wagg and Hawkins grounded out. First of se - coed, Woods grounded out, Phalen grounded out, and Ormrod did like- wise. Last half of emend inning: Carrick ,bit safely, McDonald drove out a twobgg a 'er Carrick d go- ing go-ing to third, McEwan .drove a fast one to Woods at second and MoDon- ald .was caught off second for a dou- ble-piay, Hanson grounded out. First of third for Goderich: Murney, Wor- thy and Johnston al] flied out. Last of third for Clinton: Brant and Pihk- ett flied out, Holmes struck out. First of fourth, Goderich. Duquette flied out; Murdock grounded .out and Christian flied out. Last of fourth, Clinton: Wagg went to first on a hit, Haavkins followed with a single, Car- rick flied out, McDonald hit safely. scoring Wagg, l4TcEwan and Hanson grounded out. First of fifth, Code. rich: Woods flied out; Phalen and Ormrod grounded out. Last of fifth, Clinton: Brant struck out, Picket went to first on a hit, Holmes follow, ed with a single, Wagg and Hawkins' grounded out. First of sixth, Gode- rich: Murney grounded out, Worthy and Johnston flied out. Last of Sixth, :Clinton: Carrick drove a long one into right field for a home run, McDonald followed with a three -bag- ger, Mayan brought 'him home with a single, Hanson and Brant were out. First of 'seventh, Goderich: Du- quette flied out, Murdock struck out, Christian grounded out. Stock was pitc'h'ing this inning .in capable man- ner but the rain brought the game to abrupt stop. The final score was 3-0. McDonald led the batters with a two -bagger a single and a three -bag- ger in three tines to 'bat, a ,thoua- and for Freddie, Carrick, Wagg and Holmes all made some fine catcher in the fieldand everyone ,played carefully and well•. 'FGordie" Stock went in to pitch in the seventh and was going nicely when the rain which before had been a drizzle developd into a downpour and Umpire T. Mor- gan called the game. .Glew also re- placed Holmes ,in right field in the sixth.

Last night the boys' ran their win- ning streak to five straight when they shutout the Lucknow team on the Lucknow diamond, the score was 10- 0. This made two shut -outs ina row and the boys are surely going great guns. :Carrick pitched in masterful. style allowing but two hits and strik- ing out twelve men, he also assisted with a home run. The boys seems to lack nothing either offensively or defensively, with fine fielding and the pitchers pitching such splendid (ball, and ev- eryone capable of coming through when a 'hit is needed. Lucknow used three pitchers in the first inning before they stopped the rampaging homesters,, who scored' five rums in that inning and estab- lished: a lead that was never threat- ened throughout the game.' Every- one got very-one.got a bit with the exception of McDonald, and he was walked three. times. Deep up the good work boys. TAKING NEW, POSITION' Mr. Duncan :Cartwright, son of Ms. A. L.
