Colts Win One -Sided Affair
The Clinton Colts scored an easy,
victory oyer the visiting Crediton
nine last Friday night when they
trounced then to the time of 16 to 3
on the local diamond. It was the
second home game for the locals this
year and the first win on the home
diamond.
Slim Brant was on the mound for
the locals and pitcheda fine game
of ball, giving up, nine hits in 8. in-
nings and striking out 5.
"Old Bill" Matz, christened "grand-
pa" by the kids teased the locals,a-
long after getting, away to a shaky
start until the fifth when Watson
took over his duties.
Clinton got away to a good start
in the first inning when three runners
came home. Pickett singled and
White drove' him home with a long
drive good for three bases. Glew and
White came homer before the side
was retired. Six runs in the fourth
and five more in the fifth sewed the
game up for Clinton.
Crediton put a run across in the
fourth and two more in the sixth.
Clinton scored two more in •the sev-
enth.
Some of the bright spots of the
game were Glew's playing in centre
field. Bill made hard ones look easy
all evening, particularly so once,
when he threw a man out at hone
elate from deep centre field. The run-
ner was safe at third with a three -
bagger, but tried to stretch it into
a hone run, but he miscalculated
Glew's throwing arm and McEwan
had him by three feetat the plate.
Bert White at second also shone.
White covers ground as though he had
wings and is a tower of strength to
the infield as wellas being a strong
batter.
"Punch" McEwan was receiving
behind the plate for the first time
this yearand turned in his usual
steady performance.
The locals play a game on the lo-
cal diamond this morning (Thurs-
day), Mitchell being the visitors.
This game should be a good one. Be
on hand. '6s

gether with a few intimate friends.

Although not enjoying the best of
health, Mrs. Lovett is still quite ac-
tive and greatly enjoyed the activities
of the day.
The football team dropped a close
one on Monday night to St. Columban
by a score of 1-0. The game was
played at Recreation Park.
The only goal of the game carne
after 10 minutes of the first half had
gone. McCarthy shot one that hit
inside the goal post and bounced in.
St. Columban started strong and
for the first ten minutes had the
better of the argument, hitt on the
night's play the locals were the bet-
ter team, excepting that their kick-
ing was very bad on the goal. Many
real scoring chances were muffed
when the players booted he ball ei-
ther to high or too wide of the goal.
In the last' half the ball was con-
tinuously in St. Columban territory
but ,thelocals failed to tie the count,
and the game ended 1-0.

constable of a small town is obliged
to act as night clerk fol• the hotels
as one of his multitudinous duties,
had a sequel in Goderich police court.
last Thursday, when F. E. Deyus, of
Windsor, was brought from that city
to -answer a charge of jumping a
$4.50 night's lodging bill.
He was one of four of a fishing
party en route North, which on May
12, after midnight, helped themselves
on the advice of Chief Constable
Fremlin to rooms in the Rattenbury
Hotel, it was alleged in court, leav-
ing at 5 a.m, without settling up.
Deyus said he couldn't find anyone
mound to pay money to and that the
party had knocked loudly at the office
desk, without response. After return-
ing home they had inquired the name
of the Clinton newspaper, to whom a
letter was written asking for -the
naive of the hotel so he could remit
the money. While this was being
done a charge was laid. Apparently
the letter strayed as it was not receiv-
ed at this office.
Mine Host Rousseau and Chief
Fremlin said it was easy to rouse a
sleeping hotelman to pay him money.
The crown attorney suggested that a
note night have been left by the tra-
velers.
The charge was withdrawn on pay-
ment of the hotel bill and the court
costs, which were more than the ho-
tel bill,
