CHAMPIONSHIP
Defeat Wingham Yesterday 12 To
3
In Final Game of Three -Game
Series. Game Was Played In
Lucknow.
CHESLEY NEXT
First Game For Group 'Championship
In Cheeky On Saturday. Probable
Return Game Here On Monday.
Yesterday afternoon saw the final
game •of the play-offs in the south
section of the Bruce league of the
O.B.A., played between Clinton and
Wlinghan, and of course the Clinton
Colts came home, the winners of this
section. It took three, games to de-
eido the winner. Clinton won' the
first one by a wide margin last Sat-
uaday afternoon in Wingham, the
score being 15 to 8, but the Wing -
ham boys still had a kick left, and
on Monday they came to Clinton and
in the closest game of the, series de-
feated the .Colts in a hard-fought
battle by the score of 2 to 1. This
necessitated a third game, which
was ordered played in Lucknow
yesterday, and as in the first game
the batting eye of the Colts and the
good pitching of Bob Carrick was too
much for the Winghamites and 'a-
gain they bowed to the tune of 12-3.
Fans remember, with pride, the
great name the Colts of last, winter
made for themselves in the hockey
world, well this bunch of Colts seem
to be just as proficient in baseball as
the others were in .hockey and seem
to be on their way. We wish them
all sorts of luck, and with their share
of the breaks its going to be a good
ball team that stops them.
Winning the group gives them the
the right to meet; Chesley's Colts
who are the winners of the northern
section, and the first game is to be
played in Chesley on Saturday, with
the return game here probably on
Monday, and this would be a real
day for it as Monday is a holiday,
and everyone would have a chance to.
see two good teams in action, and
if Ohesley can stop this battling
bunch of "willow-weilders" why they
sorely are a good ball team.
YESTERDAY'S GAME
The big feature of yesterday's
game was the batting of the locals,
who knocked two 'Wingham pitchers
out of the box in the first inning,
Tiffin, who pitched such a fine
game here on Monday was the first
victim, being greeted by doubles and
singles, and he was promptly
pulled for Colvin, who was unable to
stop the bombardment, and he in
turn was replaced by Peterson, 'who
finished the game, although being
hitt freely and hard. The locals
scored five runs in the first and kept
adding until they had a total of 12.
Carrick pitched the entire game and
was well supported in the field. A
large crowd was on hand from both
Wingham and Clinton, and also
Lucknow, to cheer their favorites on
to, victory.
In losing the Wingharnites have
nothing to be ashamed of, as all
through the yeasthey proved them-
selves a very capable and the most
feared of all ball teams. The fact
that at the last Colvin, their star
hurler is supposed to have a sore
arni, and certainly something must
'have been wrong with him, to put
up such weak pitching in the finals,
had a great deal to dowith them
weakening in the play-offs.
2 TO 1 FOR WINGRAM
The second game of the aeries was
played in Clinton on Monday night,
and proved to be a very fine oxhibi:
tion of ball, although rather disas•.
rous'to the home forces. The score
was a close one -2 to 1, for Wing -
am. Stock pitched winning ball for
he locals, and it was a bad throw to
first in the eighth thot allowed what
tuned to be the winning run to
score. •Stock allowed 6 hits and was
acked up by fine fielding, with one
r two exceptions. Tiffin pitched
masterful game for Winghaen, al -
wing only 5 hits. -'Neither men had
many strikeouts. ` Tiffen issued. 4
walks, Stock 2.
;Four innings of scoreless ball had
the large crowd of fans on their toes
11 the way.
In the first of the fifth, however,
with one man out, Groves walked,
nd then stole second, and got to
bird on a play at first, Finlayson
hen beat out a hit to. third base, and
the play at first, before Pickett got
h0 ball to. M'cE'wan at home plate,

HAY FEVER CITRE
The editor of the women's page in
The Mail and Empire the other day
gave a cure, which shehad heard of
from rsomeone who had known it to
e ucc s£ 1 ie
b , s es u ly tried, f or hay fever,
which we feel we should pass on, for
what it is worth. e
!It . is a very simple cure or pre.
ventive, . and would„do no one any
harm., anyway. It is nothing but
honey and the honeycomb. You are
supposed to eat a table spoonful of
honey and hhoneyconlb, chewing the
comb* well, three times a day. It is
better to 'begin a few weeks before
you are usually attacked by the dis-
ease, in which case it proves ..a pre-
ventive, •
As honey is taken from all kinds
of flowers, the wax, too,being a nat-
ural product of flowers, it is suppos-
ed that both eontain pollen from the
flowers which when taken into the
system serves as a serum, Nature's
own, soi•pmr, against this trouble
which is caused by certoin blooms,
different in different cases, Wheth-
er or not this would be a sure pre-
ventive it is worth a trial, and hay
fever sufferers, who are not honey
eaters, should immediately begin.
DEATH OF H. A. HOVEY
The death took place* on Monday,
after an illness of some years, of
Herbert A. Hovey, one of Clinton's

vey andhis wife, Mary Weldon Hov-
ey, and had spent his entire life

rounding community knew and liked

haunts and habits of all wild things.

business in fur dealing but of late
years his health has not allowed him
to do much in that line. He was al-
so fond of bowling, that and fishing
comprised his summer sports. He
is survived by on brother, J. E.
Hovey, from whose residence the

noon to Clinton eemetery. The .ser-

HORTICULTURAL ,SOCIETY HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL FLOWER SHOW LAST WEEIC-
A Fine Display and Many Visitors
The Clinton Horticultural Society
held its annual flower show Friday
and Saturday last, in the town hall,
when a very fine showing of 'blooms
Were oe display and a great many
from the, town and surrounding
community paid a visit to the .show.
The showing of gladioli and dah-
lias was very fine, some magnificent
specimens being on display. Messrs.
Holmes, Inkley, Roberton, W, J.
Cook and Ross McEwan being the
biggest exhibitors, though a number
of others also competed. Miss Hat-
tie Livermore took a great many
prizes for a variety of exhibits.
The display of summer flowers
was not so large as usual, the heat
of the past few weeks no doubt serv-
ing to cut down the quantity of show
stuff, but, notwithstanding this quite
a creditable showing was made.
Mr. r5. Edwards of Goderich was.
the judge and his work seemed to
give general satisfaction.
Rev. Mr. Brown of'Lucan had a
very fine display of gladioli which
were forshow purposes only, not
being in competition, and the local
beekeepers had a fine display of hon-
ey, Messrs. Cudmore having a dis-
play of bees at work, under glass,
of course.
President W. J, Cook and Secre-
tary Inkley were very well pleased
with the result of their efforts this
year but are already planning im-
provements for next year. It is their
intention to revise the prize list and,
they invite the hearty co-operation,
of all flower lovers when a meeting
is held so that they 'nay have the
assistance of all in planning for next
year's show,
