COLTipS' FAIL TO GET BY
WINGIIAIVI
Lose Two -Straight To Fast -Stepping
Indians
The curtain was drawn on the
local baseball picture last Monday
morning when our Colts were elimin-
ated by the visiting Wingham In-
dians, in a nicely played ball game,
by the score of 5-2. It was the se-
cond game of a possible three -game
series, Wingham winning the opener
in Wingham last Saturday, 11 to '7.
The series was a good one with the
better team winning out. Wingham
has a well-balanced outfit, a rime -
fielding, hard-hitting aggregation.
They have a hurling staff of four
good pitchers, and therein probably
was the difference in victory, and
defeat for the locals.
All credit is due the Colts. They
went through their group with only
one loss. " They suffered the loss of
their star pitcher, 'Bob" Carrick,
right in mid-season, but nothing
daunted, went on to finish the sched-
ule far in the lead of the opposition.
And in the play-offs they bowled
over bothd
Go er ieh and Zurich in two
straight, thus winning the champion-
ship of the Huron -Perth league,
When they came to the play -downs,
they were ordered to play against a
team that had been competing in
Intermediate "B" ball. - The Colts had
been competing in "C" class. It
will be remembered that last year,
When the Colts were playing "B" ball,
and in the same group with Wing -
ham, that the Colts won out in the
group finals. The Colts, this year,
were exactly the same team with the
exception of Carrick, whey, left to
play for Stratford Seniors in the
middle of the season.Wingham was
much the same team with a few new
players added. When the Colts did
lose out, it's a much finer thing to
lose to a better team than to a poor-
er one. So the Colts have nothing
to regret. They played their best,
and after all that's all sport really
amounts to.
Monday's game got under way on
a- rather muddy field, :after an all -
night's ram. The largest crowd of
the season;was on deck. Slini Brant
and Joe Tiffin were the opposing
pitchers. Clinton got only 5 hits off
Tiffin, three of them not coming un-
til the last of the ninth. Wingham
hit safely on 12 occasions. Tiffin
struck out 7 to Brant's 1. •
The Indians scored a run in the
first inning and made it 3-0 in the
third. Clinton finally got a run in
the fifth, but Wingham replied with
two more in the .seventh. Clinton
threatened in the ninth' when three
successive hits scored one run, but
Johnston and Brant ended it by
striking out, leaving two men strand-
ed: A free-for-all was. narrowly . a-
verted in the ninth when Hawkins
and Doran collided at the plate, Dor-
an receiving, a bad cut. Tiffin, the
Wingham' pitcher, got into an argu-
ment with Fulford, who was umpir-
ing .behind the plate, and as a result
Tiffin was banished from the game.
Erwin finished the game for the In-
dians by striking out the last two
batters. The final score was 5-2.

Those Old Coins
A week or so ago Thegews-Record
mentioned an old' coin which was
found by a citizen in his garden, dat-
ed 1854. This was an old coin for
Canada, as it was thirteen years be-
fore Confederation, but since that we
have ,had older coins, some Canadian,
some British and some foreign.
Mr. W. G. Pope brought in a Nova
Scotia Bank Token, a penny, which
had been picked up at the Fred Fow-
ler gate dated 1832.
Rev. K.-McGoun showed us one he
carries, an Ainerican one cent piece,
dated 1829. `
Eldon O'Brien of Tuelcersmith has
a couple which has been out a good
many years, a cent and a penny dated
1806, in old George III's reign. He
also has one dated • 1854.
Mr. Wm. Fairservice of Hullett
has English coins dated 1831-54-57
and 1861, and an American coin dated
1853.
John Hawkins has a nice' collec-
tion, including a 'British coin of
George II's reign, made of bronze to
all appearance, and dated, 1746 and
agold French coin dated
g 1790.
Mrs. Ernest Lawson has a piece of
money "Commerce of Upper and Low-
er Canada," with an old sailing' vessel
on one side. It is elated 1816.
Mr. W. H. Hellyar has a one cent
piece dated 1838, a shilling piece dat-
ed 1820, a Norwegian piece without
elate but looking ancient though in
good condition, and a very odd piece
of money, a United States three -cent
bank note. It is about nuarter the
size of a Canadian "shinplaster", but
is • as dignified looking as a twenty -
dollar bill This piece came into Mr.
Hellyar's hands from an uncle and
he says the bills were never put into
circulation much but were used in
the paying of certain taxes. It is the
smallest bit of paper money The
News -Record has . ever seen.
