P ii -d_ 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.

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.

One of those cases where the night 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, 'Among The Churches Presbyterian Church At the congregational meeting held on Monday night, Rev.
