In the game on Monday night, here, the score was 14 to 5 for Cline ton, against the Irenoardine boys. Carrick was on the mound for the homesters, with Cox, the Kincardine j ace, ,on the mound for the visitors. Clinton scored 14 runs on 14 hits, 1 Carrick allowed 7 hits, and issued '7 + passes, Cox was replaced in the sixth•by Hall, but he was unable to Iatop the merry-go-round. Wagg i was the heavy hitter +of the 'game, !4 out of five times up. Kincardine scored .one run in the first inning, Anderson scoring. Clin- ton went into the lead an the last half of the first, Holmes and Wagg coming home. Clinton made it 4-1 in the second, Hawkins and Merman scoring. R. Anderson scored Kin- cardine's second run in the third, but Clinton came back With four on runs by Wagg, Carrick, Hawkins and Me - Ewan. Errors on Kincardine's part were the cause of several Clinton runs, the catcher 'making enough wild pegs to lose any ball game. Neither team shored in the fourth. Kincardine started a comeback in the fifth, when the Clinton boys seem- ed ,to relax for the moment, and scored three runs on- walks and er- rors, but this was soon erased, Clin- ton coming back with six runs in their half, also mainly ".due to er- rors, Pickett, Holmes, McDonald, Wigg, Carrick and Hovey 'scaring. This wound up the scoring -,14-5 to favor of Clinton, 'Carrick had 11 strike -outs, Cox had 6 and Ial] fon Kincardine had 1. A regrettable accident which some. what marred the game, occurred in the seventh when Robt. Carrick, Sr., was hit with a wild throw from cern tre field to third base. The . ball, travelling fast, caught ate. Carrick on the side of the face, just on the cheek -bone, 'splitting the skin open, and causing considerable Ioss of Wood. We sincerely hope no :ill effects follow. AMONG THE OHURCHES Presbyterian Church Public worship at 10 o'clock on Sunday. 'he annual congregational and Sunday School picnic will take 'place on Wednesday, July 24th, at Harbor Park, Goderich. The truck will leave the church at 1.30 o'clock. Wesley -Willis United Church The . minister's Sunday mornng sermon subject: "Faith's Alterna- tive. " Evening: "At The Forks of the Road."' Union services are being contin- ued: in this church, good congrega- tions being present for both ser- vices on Sunday. In the evening a special :service was held, centred a- round the hymn, "Nearer My God, To Thee." The choir san ia,e hymn, Miss M Stewart taking a solo part, two quartettes rendered it to dif- ferent settings; Miss A. 'Stewart sang it as a solo, Mr. M. Agnew played the old tune on his eornet from the gallery and a, number of young girls, all in white, gave a panto - mine of it, the church being darken. ed and the spot light turned on them, while a couple of girls sang it from the gallery. The minister told the story of the writing of the hymn arid also, read the story of Jacob and his dream of the ladder reaching In- tel heaven, which suggested the theme,,At the conclusion the con- gregatin sang the hymn through, to i the old tune; 'Bethany, the church being subdued and the words thrown on the 'screen. The service was a beautiful' and inspiring one. The W.M.S. met Thursday even Ing in the church hall •downstairs, as it was cooler there, Mrs. Plekord, president, occupied the chair for the business part of the +meeting, . later handing it over to Mrs. Chowen, whose group gave the study pro- gram., .Mrs. Manning read the Scrip- ture. Mrs, Oakes eontributed an appropriate, solo: and Mrs, Scott' gave a most interesting and in- structive story ,of the chapter for study this month, the story of tie Wonderful work of a native Indian woman in leading the women of In- dia into a broader and fuller life. LIST INCOMPLETE Wle fully expeeted to have a com- plete list of the sue -easeful Entrance pupils for .Clinton for this week's issue, but hane failed to get it. The principal is away and apparently no one in town has a list. The inspec- tor failed to send it to us as promis• ed, although we have written him and also tried, unsuccessfully to reach him by telephone. Why this list could not have been furnished us at 'once we do not know. But we've done our lest to procure it and are sorry to report failure. SOME PAgaiwoL GIFTS The choir of the Presbyterian church had a little picnic at Bayfield one evening recently In •honor of the organist, Mra' J. C. Cooper, who is leaving. with her husband today for an extended stay abroad.' They had supper on the beach, indulged in some bathing, as the evening was an ideal one, and also took occasion to present Mrs. Cooper with a hand- some engraved fountain pen, and ex pressed to both hearty 'good wishes for continued happiness and success. Mm, and Mrs. Cooper , both replied very fittingly, The Girls! Club also at, a recent Meeting gave Mrs. Cooper a nice little gift and hosts of good wishes. The Collegiate Students, amongst whom Mx. Cooper has always been a .favorite, aisle remembered him With 'a parting gift and wished him Bon Voyage. These good wishes 1 will follow this popular couple a- cross the Big Pond and through their wanderings until they return! to their native land once more. 1 Another rather expensive accident happened to "Butch" Murney's car. "Batch", who was umpiring at home plate, parked his car nice and handy, and a foul hail •connectedwith one of the headlights, breaking the glass, Might easily have 'been the wind shield, "Butch;'+ Johnston, also from Goderich, did some capable work as field umpire, dividing the favours very evenly toward each team. Yon fans' who have not been at- tending the games,•=--com,e out and see the boys play sometime -they will surprise you. They are the ,best team in the group : and worthy of your loyal' support, They are now tied with Winghaan for first place. •Clinton—+Plic'Icat, ib; Holmes, rf; McDonald 3b; Wkgg If; 'Carrick, p; Hawkins, cf; McEwan, c; .Johnston, so; Hovey, Ob.

AN INTERESTING FIND Charles Dillon of Mkorriston, Nets who is visiting bis sister, •Mss. C. Bomhoff, 'M'aple street, was out hoe- ing in the garden the other " .day when he dug up a flint arrowhead, no doubt one which wag used by' the Indians in the early days when the Hurons or some •other tribe roamed this section. It was well -formed and perfect, except that the point was broken off as if it had struck •a' hard object. It had no doubt been plowed up and turned under a good many times in the course of the years .but had not been noticed before. The young vis- itor was delighted with his find, which he will keep as a souvenir of his stay in Ontario during the sum. mer of 1985. A S1VPALL FIRmE Occasionally one hears of a fire in an ice house but it is seldom indeed that fire originates in a refrigerator, brit that seemed to be the case at OSNeil's grocery on Sunday evening. The telephone girls next door smei- led smoke and on looking about de•• cided there was something wrong In the basement of the grocery stare so called Fire Chief Gree, who is also an employee of the store, who came up and investigated. 'He found the motor operating the ice cream re- frigerator had become red hot and was burning up all oil and waste a- bout it and making a terziible smoke, the store being idled with it. The power was turned off and the motor allowed to cool and when Miss O-- Neil who was at Bayfield, returned her first thought was one of thank- fulness that it had not occurred dui. ing the night. The origin of the trouble is not quite clear but it is thought the fact of the power being turned off dur- ing the afternoon a while, as it was, and on corning on again something. went wrong as no one was near to reg- ulate it. Anyway the motor was a perfect loss, being burnt out and a new one had to be put in, and all the ice cream in the refrigerator had to be dumped out. Just think 'what good use the small boys in town could have made of that, had they had a chance at it Saturday night. Some Ioss was incurred by damage to stock by smoke, nlso. LITTLE LOCALS Mr. Iddo Crich is eating cabbage and cauliflower front bis own ;garden this week.

The lad's condition is not con- sidered• critical. Ronald, according to pollee who. investigated, dashed across the high. way from the north side of the roan near the mill in Sebringviile, directly into the path of a car driven by A. V. Quigley of Toronto, who was driv- ing west. It was impossilbie to avoid striking the boy, police said, Elis leg was fractured by the impact and it was admitted that it was miraculous that the injuries were net of a more serious nature," Mr. Quigley, who is a son of Mr. 'and Mrs. P. Quigley of I'tuilett and. well-known in Clinton where he liv. ed for years when he was a member of The News -Record staff, was com- ing up to visit his brother, Joseph 'Quigley, in the hospital suffering from injuries which he received When, struck by a car on No. 4 last week.

Fulford and Master Lloyd and Misses Mamie Grealis and Harriet Kennedy took a anotor trip up north last week. They motored as far as Coppereliif and az- so took in the trip to Callender and had a look at the five little Dianne sisters, The .babies, Mrs. Fulford declares, are much prettier, sweeter and more interesting looking. -than' any pictures she had ,previously seen of them. They are very much alike; some of the people thought it might be the same babe which the nurse brought out. But they are different, she says,and some of thorn "patty-cak. ed" and "byedbyed'a for the :visitors very prettily. The babes are brought out four. times a day, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, only for a couple of minutes each time, and if you are not there at the time you have to wait yopr next turn. There were on this occasion about one hun- dred and fifty waiting for this peep. Work is going on around the farm, men working, building fences and roads and generally improving the place. They saw Dr. Defoe and two of the nurses and chatted with the policeman who is on guard at the gate all the time. • gr. and Mist Pafford enjoyed their first trip up north and found the go ing fairly good all the way, although new work is being pun on the roads all JUN4OR W.

AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT Wlhat might have proved a more serious accident, although it resulted in sending one man tothe hospita_, happened on Thursday afternoon Last when a scaffold on which Mr, N, Kennedy and his son, Jim, were at work at Mr. M. T. Corless's house, collapsed and they ' crashed to the ground. The older man was severely hurt, although on .bones were broken, and he was carried on a stretcher to the hospital nearby. It took about one hundred stitches to close a gash in his arm, received when it crashed through a window, and he was also brusied and hurt, which with the shook to his nervous system, leaves him in a weak and shattered state. The son was also somewhat injured, his ;back being wrencehd and he war bruised and shaken up but also es- caped without any Broken bones. It is hoped that Mr. Kennedy will have a good recovery.

Dyre says The Herald is unique in that it takes a couple of months' holidays. As the residents of Forest Hill al- most to a man, and woman, go holi- daying at their summer hones dur- ing the summer business is pretty nearlyat a standstill and this one industry at least shuts up shop. The only drawback, according to Mr. Dyre, is ,that it is two months' vaeation without income. BRUCEFIEL» Mss.
