CLINTON COLTS WIN
The baseball game here on Tues-
day night ht was a walk -over for Clin-
ton when they defeated 'Seaforth to
the tune of 17-0. 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.
