that site did not notice the bloom in
time to tell more about it. Howev-
er there are several more buds form-
ing and she hopes to be able to give
advance notice.
Both teams came out in the second
half determined to get, a goal, and
the play was fast and the checking
heavy. Seaforth peppered several
shots at Wilson in the Clinton goal,'
which he cleared safely one after the
other. During a wild scrimmage a-
round the goal Frank Sills rolled one
in to. give Seaforth the lead.
The light was very poor by this
time and the Clinton boys were un-
able to even up . the score, although
they put everything they had into the
final spurt.
