Locale First Win Over Wingham This Year. , Defeat Wingham 13 To 4 In Final Game of Season Clinton took a stranglehold on a play -toff berth in the Huron -Bruce League last Thursday afternoon, when they defeated %higham to the tune of 13-4, Brant was in the box for the locals and pitched well until the eighth, when he gave way for Stock. Peterson for Wingham was also relieved in the eighth by Tiffin. Both Brant and Peterson were hit freely but the homeforces played a better game afield. Errors were numerous, with the visitors having the worst' of the argument in that respect. Several of their errors, and altogether they had seven, meant runs for the locals. On, the ether hand Clintons five errors were not costly, other than marring the game. After retiring Wingham in order in the first, Clinton • came through With five runs, a lead which they never relinquished. Wingham came back in the second with two runt. Clinton scored one in the second, three in the third, were retired in order in the fourth, fifth and sixth, and scored four more in the seventh, three of them on errors. Tiffin did some nice work in the eighth when he struck out all three batters. Wing - ham scored twice in the fifth, and threatened again in the eighth when Brant walked the first two men up. With two men on and nobody out "Gordie" .Stock cattle in and did same fine relief work, retiring the side without a run, and holding the visitors for the rest of the game. Clinton scored thirteen runs on nine hits. Wingham scored four runs on seven hits. Peterson had six strike -outs, 13rant had two. Tiifen had three and Stock two. "Riley" John- ston, besides getting three hits, played a fine game at short. Wagg made a nice running catch of a foraI ball over the left -field line, and all played fairly well and should be in good shape for the play-offs.

The sport's writer in the Wingham Advance -'limes comments on Um- pire McArtney's decision on Pick- ett's close decision ab home plate with the first Clinton run as "some- thing that amazed everyone." We think some of the decisions around second base were far more amazing. There is no doubt in our mind that Pickett touched home plate before he collided with •Carmichael, the catcher. Several fans voiced the same opinion. This decision may have had some bearing on the brand of ball turned in by the Wingham- ites, but we doubt it. ;(Tad they given Peterson better support atshort and second base the score might have been closer. It was just one of their bad days.

SIZE CAME BACK "Toanny" Leggington is a kind- hearted man and is always good to any animal which he keeps about his place. This was proved last week when a young heifer, not yet two years old, which he had sold to a man in Hallett and delivered in the evens ing, marched home the next morning bright and early before the family had had breakfast. "I've . heard of the cat coming back," remarked Mr. Leppingtan, "but I would not have believed that a young beast like that would walk five miles just to get back to its old home. BANK BUILDING ALTERED The Bank of Montreal building, Clinton's Flat Iron building, which has always had its entrance at the point, facing the corner, has been changed a bit during the past week and the entrance is now on Victoria street and the front has been bricked up, only Ieaving a window.

SMYTH BARN FIRE SPECTACULAR SIGHT SATURDAY NIGEm Robert S. Smyth, Y farm, , obosethe Parrau farm and orchard, is located just inside the town limits , on ,the Bayfieldd road, lost his ;barn and out- buildings in a spectacular blaze a- bout 10.30 on Saturday night. 16. and Mrs. Smith had retired; and the fire, which was first seen bp a neighbor, had gained so much head- way beforethe arrival of the fire: brigade that mating was saved. The, residence was endangered by the in- tense heat but the firemen were able, to prevent its taking fire. The barn contained a Iarge num- her of farm and orchard implements together with the season's crop of - grain and hay, and a stack of alfalfa. near the barn also burned, and 3n• addition about 40 hens and a pup,.. which were housed in the :building. The cause of the blaze is unknown, although it is thought that spontan- eous combustion was responsible,. The fire reached large proportions so quickly that it lends truth to the. Combustion theory. The loss is a heavy one, being es- timated at about 510,000. Same in- surance was carried but not enough to evert approximately cover the loss. Mr. Smyth, who is an expert or- chardist, purchased this farm and ors chard from the Farran estate about ten years ago and for several years had large crops of commercial apples for shipment. The severity of the winter of 1933-34, however, destroy- ed many of his trees, as it did to the great majority ,of orchards in Huron County, and last year his crop was greatly reduced. This fire, on top of other losses is therefore a serious one. VARNA We are very pleased to have sus rector, Rev. G. Bugler, with us after his holiday, and all hope he enjoyed: his vacation.
