CLINTON AND SEA FORTH TIE—O-Q The Clinton Colts played a score- less tie with Seafortn on Tuesday night. The boys report the diamond at Seaforth was in bad shape due to recent rains, and whenever they did bit safely they usually mired in the mud and water and were caught out before reaching second base. Stock pitched for the Colts and Christie for Seaforth. The•acne went nt six innings. Tie hi Semi -Finals Clinton held Seaforth to a 1-1 tie here on Thursday night in •the first semi-final game of the series. As the score indicates,the he teams were ev- enly matched, and it was a good clean fight from start to finish. In the first period Seaforth ap- peared to have the edge on the play, and although they had several good chalices at theoal the g superb net - minding of Wilson was too much for them. The play see -sawed up and down the field with both teams mis ing some good chances to score, and what looked like a sure goal for Clin- ton near the end of the half was muffed when a player delayed his kick too, long, giving the Seaforth back a chance to clear. The half end- ed with no score. The second period was more or less a repetition of the first until af- ter about fifteen minutes of play when "Homer." Dale drilled home a neat one during a scramble around the goal. Garrett had just made the try, losing the ball to a Seaforth player who failed to clear, and Dale pulled the hat trick by beating Bell easily. Seaforth put on the power thenin an effort to even the score andwere successful in tying the game when D. Sills took a neat pass from the vet- eran Arta Nicholson, which Wilson was unable to stop. Wilson in the Clinton goal gave an outstanding display of goalkeeping, and he should be able to hold the fort in the return ameat tonight g Seaforth. Clinton—Goal, Wilson; backs, E. Layton, M.
