Flyers; Ninth win
Clinton RCAF Flyers Hand Ailsa Craig
First Defeat of Season, WOAA Softball
Olien, star pitcher of the Clin-
ton RCAF Flyers was in top form,
last Saturday evening when he
handcuffed Ailsa Craig to post
a 7-3 win.
This was Ailsa Craig's first
loss of the season, they had won
all ten of their previous games,
Olien, was the master through-
out, He faced but 31 batters,
striking out 13 and issuing two
walks. Hiller, ace twirler for
Craig appeared tired. He
Ailsa Craig made it nine wins
in a row and maintained their
winning streak when they edged
the Clinton Flyers in a close game
4-3. The Ailsa Craig nine have
yet to be beaten this year.
Vince Hiller, on the mound for
Ailsa Craig allowed five scattered
hits and snuffed out several Clin-
ton rallies with their stellar pitch-
ing. His team more than doubled
Clinton's hits but the `fielding of
the Clinton team kept the home-
sters from scoring many more
runs.
Hiller aided his own cause with
a home run in the fifth. Other
power hitters were Jake Barnes,
of Ailsa Craig and Fitzsimmons
of the Flyers.

Cut in Huron.
"Approximately 375 people at-
tended the annual Crop Improve-
ment Twilight meeting held Wed-
nesday, July 23, in the Belmore
area," G. W. Montgomery, agri-
cultural representative for Huron
County, reports.
"Fall wheat is ripening rapidly
with a considerable acreage cut in
the south end of the county; the
crop will not be yielding as heavy
as previously anticipated.
"All cultivated crops made ex-
cellent growth this past week.
Pastures are above normal and are
carrying more livestock than us-
ual. The majority of farmers have
now completed haying, a larger
than usual acreage of first crop
hay has been left for seed."
