CLINTON WINS ONE
AND LOOSES ONE
Clinton Defeat Lucknow Bat Are
Shut -Out By Wingham, Third Loss
To This Team, As Against No Wins
Wingham Here To -Morrow
Night
The Lucknow ball team played a
scheduled game on the 'Clinton did..
mond last Thursday evening, the
score resulting 10 to 1 for Clinton.
This was Clinton's eighth straight
victory. C`arriek •wasin the box for
thelocals' and did a fine job after a
rather shaky start. Event pitched
capably for the visitors, but had
rather poor support, the second 'base-
man having three errors !n a row.
There were 7 errors, 'six for Lucknow
and 1 for •Clinton. Garrick had 13
atrikeouts. Erwin had 6. The game
gave evidence of a close struggle up
until the fourth, neither teams Ibe'ing
able to score. Clinton scored once
in the fourth, Glew crossing the
plate. The game progressed to the
sixth, when 'Clinton scored five rune,
three of which were scored on errors.
Pickett, 'Carrick, Glew, Hovey an
Johnston scoring. Lucknow scored
their only run in the seventh, when
McCartney came hame on a Clinton
error. Pickett, Hawkins, Wragg and
Hovey scored for 'Clinton in the
eighth. The final score was 10.1 for
Clinton.

On Saturday the boys journeyed to
Wingham, where they ran into their
first defeat in nine starts, when they
were shut out by the Indians by e
score of 340. The locals have been
very unsuccessful against this team,
having Iost all three games' played.
Saturday's game was the Vest game
of the season, with Colvin, the Wing -
ham pitcher, being the star of the
game. He pitched one of the finest
games of his career and had the
Clinton boys fanning the air in great
style. Altogether he struck out eigh-
teen men, and only three men were
able' to connect for softies, Pickett,
McEwan and Hovey getting to first
with the only hits for Clinton,'Mc-
Ewan hitting in the second. Pickett
in the fourth and Hovey in the fifth.
The game was scoreless until the.
fourth when Wingham scored two
runs on 'a single and a •home -run.
Carrick had pitched fine ball but cons-
plained about his arm in the fourth,
and after his fine performance of
Thursday it could hardly be expect-
ed df him to go another full game
with' only a day's rest, and that with
the best pitcher in the group as an
opponent. Anyway he grooved one
for Gurney in the fourth who landed
on it for a circuit blow. Wagg touch-
ed the ball but was unable to handle
it and
it rolled fora e
a run,
scor-
ing Ti'ifen ahead of him, Atthat
Carrick pitched well enough to win
most ball gamer, and it was the
failure of the team to connect with
Colvin' -s speed-blalite that lost them
the game. Clinton had men in
scoring positions onsevere/ 'occas-
ions, due mostly to walks, but were
unable to score. Several of the boys
struck -out three and four times, ani
every man struck -out at least once.
Carelek had ten strike -outs and allow-
ed eight hits. Wingham scored an.,
other run in the 'seventh, Mellor, corm
ing home on Colvin's hit. It was a
splendid game and no disgrace for
any team to lose.
Ernie Hovey relieved Carrick in
the seventh and .pitched splendidly

Wingham comes here tomorrow
night for their last appearance of
the regular .schedule. With Carrick
rested up it should be a treat to
watch these two .stars of the league
in action. Wingham will • altogether
likely pitch Colvin again, and a
pitcher's battle is sure to result. We
hope the boys can'eonnect for a few
safe bingles and break the Wingham
jinx. ''Wingham is sure 'of a play-off

A RUNAWAY TRUCK
A motor truck owned by the Grov-
er Trucfdng Co., Melbourne, loaded
with cattle for the Oakes' farm in
Goderich township, was parked at
the main intersection, headed down
Huron street, on Saturday while the
driver +was having lunch. By some
means the brakes slipped and the
truck started down the grade, gain-
ing speed as it ran. It did not go
straight down the highway or it
might have had a much longer free
trip, heat ran across the street.
knocked the "Slow" 'sign from its
moorings, struck and broke a hydro
pole and ran into a large maple
tree, which 'stopped its course. The
truck was not damaged sufficiently
to prevent it being driven on and
the load of cattle were quite unhurt.
But the result might have been
much worse under other circum-
stances.

HONOURED BY FRANCE
The following from The Guelph
Mercury refers • to a native of
Mullett township, a brother of Dr.
Howard Fowler of Clinton and a
man well known in the town and
community:
" ..
Hzgir honor of a unique nature has
been bestowed. upon Dr. W. J. R
Fowler. of Guelph, who has been ap
pointed by the French Government
Chevalier Du Merite Agricole de
France:
Dr.. Fovskr received a cammunl.

him of his new dlatinction. The let-
ter said in part:
"I am happy to inform you that
have appointed you a Chevalier du
Merite Agricole de France. I am
happy to grant you this distinetien
for your splendid work on behalf of
agriculture."
The honor was completely unex.
pected, and came as a great surprise
to Dr. Fowler, who is recognized as
one of the cleverest veterinary sue -
gone in his field. Two years 'success-
ively, he was called to England to
operate on some of the finest horses
bred in the world, and on other oc-
casions' he has been 'invited to assist
we an expert technician at various
points:
French veterinary scientists have
been, present on occasions when Dr.
Fowler has performed his operations.'
and it is presumed that theyhave
reported to their 'Government the
work which he is doing.
Yesterday, Dr. Fowler received • an
