Clinton Handle' Mitchell ilt Six Inning Game Taking the lead in the first inning of a poorly played baseball game here Molndayt night, Clinton 'easily handed Mitchell a 15-2 beating in a slow, sluggish game which developed into a comedy before being called at the end of the sixth.inning. Judging by the way the teams went to the diamond, everyone was tired before the game started, and if the interest of fans is to be held, a lot more Peep will have to be injected into both the home team and visitors. Draper was the best man on the Clinton team. In five innings he struck out seven. and also collected three hits in as many times at bat, one of them a two -bagger. In the second inning he struck out three in a row. Mitchell got their first run in the first inning. Wright bunted and was pinched easily at first. Casey and Pridham singled, Leppard struck out and Casey came home on Lark - worthy's single. Fulton was caught at first to retire the side. Wagg walked and made third when Hovey and Glew singled, and came home when Hawkins walked. Colquh- oun and Johnston popped out and Draper's two -bagger brought in Rov- ey, Glew and Hawkins to make the score 4-1. Mitchell made no runs in either the second or third,_ but Clinton added four more in the second aided by H. Hawkins two -base hit. Then again in the fourth Clinton added six more with Johnson and J.Hawkins get- ting two -baggers off Larkworthy. Pridham !brought Leppard lin !with a nice two base hit for Mitchell's second run. Hovey and the Mitchell boys took time out for a game of tag just be- fore the end of the fourth. Hovey was trying to steal second and led the visitors a merry chase, being safe when one of the half dozen tag- gers dropped" the ball. Mitchell put Bloomfield in to pitch for the fifth inning. He struck out two and walked four, giving C'o1- quhorni. a home ticket for the last run of the game. Hoy went in to relieve Draper on the mound and Mitchell concluded their half of the inning without registering a single hit. Engagement Announced Sheriff and Mrs. G. G. Middleton of Clinton announce the engagement of their daughter, Jean, to Arthur Frank Charles, M.A., Ph.D., son of Mr.' -and Mrs. Arthur H. Charles of Toronto. The marriage will take place the latter part of July. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh D. Cameron announce the engagement of their daughter, Jessie Margaret, to Dr. Joseph A.

Breaks Leg while At Play Harold Salter, Toronto, who is spending the holidays with his aunt and uncle, Mr, and Mrs. E. Mittell, is in Clinton hospital with a broken leg. Just how the accident occurred is not definitely'- known, but the young lad was playing at the rear of the Organ Factory on Sunday night and in some manner fell, with the result that he received a bad breek above the knee which will keep him in bed for some time.

Brigade Called to Burning Car A Clinton business man: ,got a lot of free publicity in Seafortlr.on Sun- day night. With a party of friends he had motored down to' hear the band concert there and during the performance smoke and thesmelt of burning rubber made it certain that the car was on fire. The sound of the siren and the appearance of the fire engine proved more exciting than the music and the performance was temporarily suspended while the lads in blue hastened to do their duty. No damage resulted as it was found that the cause of all the confusion was a short circuit.
