Midget Ball Team Drops First Game
Of Playoffs; Play Here Saturday
On ^Sunday, Septemebr 5 at
Amherstburg, the Clinton Leg
ion midget baseball team drop
ped the first game of a best
• two but of three series in OBA
playdowris to Amherstburg by
a' score of 6-fl.
It looked as though Clinton
was in for .another good day at
the plate as the first .two bat
ters up reached base. Allan
Howes led off the first inning
with a booming triple apd Gary
“Butch” Fleet promptly singled
>him home to give Clinton a 1-0
lead. Then everything went sour in the Clinton bate as the
next three batters struck out.
This continued as the game
progressed as Clinton left ten
runners stranded on base.
Amherstburg tied the game
at 1-1 in the second inning. Two
singles and a ground out pro
duced one run and if it had
not been for a perfect throw
to the plate by Dave Johnston
another run would have scored.
In (the third Amherstburg
took a 2-1 lead on three straight
singles. But in the fourth Am
herstburg took fu'll advantage
of four hits and two Clinton
errors to score four unearned
runs and .put the game out of
reach. After the disastrous
fourth, Clinton settled down
and played ball like they have
done throughout the season.
-Clinton could only muster
five hits off Murray, the Am
herstburg lefthander, Who in
going the distance, struck out
11 batters. Butch Fleet gather
ed two of these hits while Al
lan Howes, Larry Pickett and
Dave Johnston had one hit
each.
Larry Pickett pitched well,
but because of the disastrous
fourth, he suffered his first loss
of the season.

munity Park on Saturday af
ternoon beginning at 2:30 p.m.

And apparently, Clinton mer
chants in 1910 were sharp bus
inessmen, judging from the size
of their premises and' the var
iety of their merchandise.
Largest manufacturer at that
time was W. Doherty Pianoi and
Organ Co., Ltd., (now Sheritock-
Manning). Their fine instru
ments were sold under the
motto “made in Clinton, by
Clinton people” . . . and' without
a doubt brought prestige as
well as jobs to the town.
But there were other factor
ies: Wearwell Hosiery on Mary
St., Jackson Manufacturing Co.
on Rattenbury St., and the firm
of Thomas McKenzie where
“Silent 'Salesmen” (store dis
play cases ) were made. ■
For What is worth, we found
the Printer’s Creed of 1910 or
