Goderich—When a fanning bee was started on the respective methods of cooling oneself, a local milk man plac- ed the stamp of approval on a fast ride in a motor ear, saying his "old bus" could make .sixty. ' His statement was challenged and a wager made, the betters and fol- lowers retiring to the race track, at midnight for a. test.' The "old bus" got away under the wire to a good start, tore up the back stretch, made the turn at the quar- ter-milepost a little wide, jumped the the embankment and turned over four wheels up in a frog pond, the driver underneath. He crawled out from under; thor- oughly cooled off, if a little smelly, and, telephoned for a wrecker.

TASKER HAS BOYS PLAYING AT TOP FORM For -the third thine this year , the Clinton Colts took the Goderich Sail- ors into camp on the local ball dia- Mond Last Friday evening, The locals drubbed them to the tune of 12 to 0. "Gordie" Stock was on the mound for the Colts and pitched fine ball all the way, allowing the Sailors but 5 hits, he issued just- two walks, and fanned four batters in the six innings play- ed. "Dick" Welsh started for the Sailors, but apparently "Dick" isn't what helmet] to be. He was replaced by Fritzley after the locals had touch- ed him for 6 rens. "Fritz" in turn was replaced by Worthy, but none were able to stop the rampaging Colts who collected 12 runs on 9 hits, errors on the part of the Sailors also contributed to the cause consid- erably. Both teams went scoreless in the first inning. In the second Gar- iek got, a hit and Johnson walked, both came home on. Pickett's hit. The Sailors threatened in the third when two were on with nobody out, but Murdock struck out. Welsh went ou. on Carrick's fine catch in centre field, runners holding their bases, Murney then hit to second and was thrown out at first. In the last of the third McDonald walked, Waggdrove out a double, McEwan singled, scoring the two of them, Hawkins then drove a long one to the roach in left field for a home run scoring McEwan ahead of him. The Sailors showed some poor management in the fourth when three men were on bases, two through errors and another on a bit, and ev- ery man was nipped before he got to second; Worthy and Lumby were caught stealing second acid Bloom- field was caught napping off first by Stock. Two runners came home for the locals in the last of the fourth, Pickett and Wagg. The locals wound up the fifth with four more, Hawkins singled, and scored on Carrick's three -bagger, Johnson and Stock were on on errors anti came hone when Pickett and Holmes ground out The Sailors went down in order in the first of the sixth and the game was called on account of darkness. This was Stock's first appearance on the mound for some time, but he made a fine job of it, arid if Gordis keeps that up we shouldsee some good ball for the remainder of the season. Riley Johnson's work at short is to be commended; the kid made some fine plays. The boys are developing into heavy hitters with Hawkins and Wagg leading in this department.

They go to Zurich tonight, and it should be a tough game as Zurich seen' so far to have the Colts' num- ber. The next game here is not scheduled until July 24th, unless the boys get in some postponed games or some -exhibitions in the spare time. They have several games away from home in the meantime. Clinton is to play an exhibition game in Brussels against Palmerston on July 29th. According to the Daily papers -this morning the Stratford Nationals have defaulted because the 0.B.A,A. had refused to grant a transfer to Bob. Carrick of 'Clinton, and also re- fused the club permission to use Carter Kerslake of Cromarty. Just what position this leaves Cariek in pertaining, to the localball team, we are unable to ascertain.
