At that they have not much glory at taehed.to the win. The game was played on a wet, soggy field which made passing plays impossible and the game was won largely on stam- ina, they having an edge over Clin- ton, the locals suffering from lack of practice. Catching the Clinton boys off -guard in the first minute of play Tom Sills passed the ball to Jack Consitt who beat the Clinton goalie for the first counter. Then again half -w a y through the first half Tom booted an.. other hot one past Wilson; The bal seesawed from one end of the field to the other, with neither teams prov- ing very dangerous up to the end of the half. - ' The last half was almost a repeti- tion of the first. It was just a case of kicking. and checking. Allan Nicholson went down from centre field to score the third goal for Sea - forth in the last five minutes, of play, While the locals did not register any goals they were dangerous at times. The game should help to strengthen their team play for the first home game here tomorrow night when they tie-up with one of the best teams in the league, the strong St. CoIumbans.

For the opening, number a snappy march was chosen. - intermission be- tween numbers was very short, the band swinging from one selection to another with very Little respite. The old favorites, "Down South" and "Gems of Stephen Foster" . received most applause, but each number was well received.

Noisy children at tinea distract- ed both the conductor and players,. but generally speaking the -concert was a decided success and the public will be on. hand again on Thursday evening.
