T1I1i PLAY MONDAY NIGHT.
The Murless Players, Seaforth put
on the ,three-aetr; humorous play,
"Scrambled Wives" in thetown hall
on Monday evening, under the au-
spices of the staff of the Public

• The. play was well rendered, and
the funny; mix-ups and the way those
concerned, extricated themselves from
ernbarrassing positions kept the au-
' diene amused during the entire ev-.
ening•.
A fair
house greeted the players,
the fact that there were several oth-
er entertainments this week probab-
ly preventing a larger number be-
ing present. The proceeds will be

.tweeri that teem and this, 'when' Clin

,"Of 'the Clinton 'team- McGoeth,
their goaltender, and Bawden stdd
out. McGoeth had a quiet evening.
taking it all through and at no time
did he have to handle any real "siz-
z1er ."
Bawden's stick handling and his
willingness to play combination stood
.out and he was the star of the Clin-
ton team. ,
Manning was fair on the defense,
while Elliott, his partner, turned in
a'good game.
Of course, Goirenlock, was checked
to a standstill and was not as 'effec-
tive as usual. The other player's on
the team were fair."

curiously- enough, he had never been
confined to the hoase through illness
previous to that. He does not blame
the town for. it, lfofvever, and Clin-
