Clinton Claims Championship.

Clinton practically clinched the Gen.
trail Maine basketball championship
Saturday night by defeating Belfast in
q one sided game Fl to 116 and also
established a new record for scoring
points. The work of the boys this
year has been wonderful, winning 10
out Of 10 games played. Most of the
games have been played with a
straight team Of local boys and this
fact gives Clinton lots Of pride in the
team as different from other towns
they can say we have a team of our
own. The boys on the local floor have
ben almost invincible.
Crawford, Trask and Walker as for
wards have played fast clean game
all the season. Mckinney and Os-
borne as guards have at all times put
up a game that has kept the other
teams guessing. Holt at center has
proved a start, his work has been of
the fastest order, working at all times
with wonderful speed, using his head
to help himself and the other members
of the team. The boys do not use to-
bacco in any form and claim part OF
their success due to these conditions
and that they are able to play as fast
the last part Of the game as the first.
Every effort will be made to get
game with the fast East Boston team
now touring the State. Though the
boys do not expect to win the rams
think they will realize they have been
in basketball game.
