Half a CenturaY in Huron County" COLTS LOSE IN EXETER WIN AT HOME COLTS LOSE CLOSE GAME AT EXETER Gordon Stock toiling onthe mound for Clinton in the Huron -Perth la claim to i League can Ba 1eba1 L a g Y one of the league'shard luck titles. Stock was the victim of a tough break last Thursday night, when Ex- eter staged an upset by beating the Colts 2-1. The defeat kept Clinton' from moving into a first -place tie with Lucan. With the score tied at one -all in the last inning of an eight -inning contest, Stock had two out. He struck out Dinney, for what should lave been the third out, but the Colts catcher, Gibbs, dropped the ball. Gibbs made a wild throw to first base, and Beavers scored all the way from second, to give Exeter the win- ning run. Dinney also figured in Exeter's first run. He drove in Tien Rogers for a tally in the sixth. Clinton tied the score in the seventh on hits by Draper, Colquhoun and Neilans, their only hits of the game. Hawkins of Clinton and Goetz of Exeter turned in smart fielding plays. Summary: Exeter: two runs, six hits and one error; Clinton, one run, three hits and three errors. Bat- teries: for Exeter, Rogers and Tay- lor; for Clinton, Stock and Gibbs. BLOW-UP TURNS DEFEAT INTO VICTORY .A. big blow-up in the fifth inning accounted for another win for the Clinton baseball team Tuesday night in one of the best games played on the local .diamond this year. Exeter furnished the opposition, and it was really stiff. With a margin of four runs to their credit up to the fifth inning things suddenly broke and Clinton hammered in seven runs on as many 'hits. The remainder of the innings it was a case of three men up and three down on good pitching and good fielding. The game started nicely for Clinton when Glew's drive was dropped by Brintnell. White lined out to first then Draper singled. Hugh Hawkins drove in the two runners on a well placed two -sacker and Gibbs and Col- quhoun went down in order. Brintnell led off with a single in Exeter's half but was 'left stranded on second with the next three men being mowed down. Exeter gathered a couple in the second to tie the count on two -bag- gers by .1. Creech and Taylor and a single byGoetz. Clinton g n connected ed for two hits without avail and were held out until that scoring spree in the fifth. Exeter were held out in the third but added two runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth to give them a 6-2 lead. J. Creech, playing centre field for the visitors was a standout, pulling off some sensational catches. Goetz also made a grandstand catch .when he rolled on his back to pick off Colquhoun's hard drive to third. J.Creech lined out a beautiful drive in the seventh that went for naught when he was tagged in .trying to make third. Things definitely went haywire in the fifth. Up to that time the Clin- ton boys had been connecting freely but were lifting their drives too high This was easy meat for those snappy Exeter fielders. Then carne the change. Seven hits, one a two-: bagger by. J. Hawkins mowed down the lead and put Clinton ahead. Our record of hits gives singles to White twice, ,Gibbs, Colgrhoun, Neilans, Monteith and also J. Hawkins' double in that one inning. For the remainder of the game it' was three • up and three down all . the way, with very little to choose from between either team. Draper pitched the entire genic for Clinton and had four strike -outs. Rogers for Exeter fanned two. Ken Pickett was facing his former team- mates, playing first base for the visitors and had rather an off night at bat. Draper. accounted for his downfall in the first; White snapped his drives in the third and fourth and Monteith accounted for his down- fall in the last time at bat. However, Ken turned in his usual performance. He made a beautiful catch of Neil - ens' foul fly in the second and feat- ured in five put outs Inc the visitors. Clinton: Glew, White, Draper, H. Hawkins, Gibbs, Colquhoun, J. Hawk- ins; Neilans, Monteith. Exeter: Brintnell; F. Creech, Pic- kett, Rogers, J. Creech, Carcallcin, Beavers, Goetz, Taylor.

CLINTON 14—GODERICR 6 The Clinton Juveniles handled their Goderich visitors very nicely here Monday night in a baseball game that stretched into the ninth inning. Both pitchers got away to a rather shaky start and both teams were hitting freely in that first inning. A single by Powell, two -baggers by Cook and Monteith • accounted for four runs for the locals with Mc- Ewen left stranded on third, Goderich. connected for five hits for four runs and the score was all tied up and remained that way until- the seventh. Singles by McNeil, Costello and a two -bagger off Westbroolc's bat put Goderich just one run behind in the seventh and injected new life into both teams, especially the locals as they carne right back to score six runs with five batters getting a sec- ond 'turn at bat. In this inning they wore credited with six hits and no less than five walks off "Tacker" 1 Bloomfield's offerings. Another run in the eighth put the game on ice for the locals, The game featured some nice field- ing plays by both teams.. Fremlin' for the locals pulled a nice play in the fifth to save a run when he scooped. up a .fast grounder and pegged it over to third to cut off Westbrook. Had this one slipped by it would have meant a run as. Costello had previously banged out a double and was all 'set for a run. Right up to that seventh inning it was anyone's game and although' Henry replaced Bloomfield on the Goderich mound th bl t • th Can' See Royal Car 1 lercar which .
