The clever pitching of Stock, and heavy slugging of the locals proved them to be by far the better team. In the first inning Hildebrand for Seaforth, ran into hard luck when he broke a thumb on a foul tip, and was replaced by Rennie, McDonald knocked a home run, White stretched a single to a triple and scored on Wagg's single. Wagg scored on Hawkins' single, Hawkins on Glew's single, e Glew on Hans •1 g ons singe and Bovey grounded out. Hanson scored on a wild peg when Johnson ground- ed to seco!td. Rennie tried for Han- son at hone and threw the ball away. At the end of the first inning Clin- ton had 7 runs to their credit. In the second, White knocked out a homer. Wagg singled and scored on Hawkin's single, while Hawkins scor- ed on Glew's triple, and Glew on Johnson's single. The third and fourth innings resulted in two and four runs respectively for Clinton, No score in either the fifth or sixth. During the seventh Wright tripled, for Seafortit's second hit of the game, only to have McDonald pull the hid- den ball trick, and tag him, out off third Generally speaking, Seaforth were outclassed, and as the score indicates, did not offer much opposition to the home team, who gave a good exhibi- tion of baseball. Some nice fielding by our local outfielders, and the hit- ting of Freddie McDonald, with two triples and a homer to his credit, Were features of the game. Football Semi -Finals The local team enter the play-off games here tomorrow night (Friday) when they clash with their old rivals, Seaforth. The playing of the locals has im- proved remarkably since it became apparent that they would have a chance in the play-off games, and everything indicates a good fast game of ball here. At the last game with. Seaforth it was felt that a goal was allowed thein which should not have been counted. This placed thein ahead of Clinton in the final group standing, and the heavy kicking St. Coluniban team are on top. A win tomorrow night will put the boys well away for the finals, and they will be out there determined to prove worthy of a place in the finals. The return game with Seaforth will be played on. July 29th.
