TO HAVE
REAL BALL TEAM

Clayton will organize a team for
the playing Of the national game,
which will be known as the Clayton
ball team. Not that the town has
no ball teams, for in fact two teams
have been playing since early spring.
The American Legion and Spanish
American teams organized. and thru
their organizations have created a
great deal of baseball enthusiasm.
But the-American Legion. realizing
that many good ball players were
kept from playing by holding the
restrictions to a strictly Legion
team, and that with such restrictions
Il would be impossible to give Clay
ton real representative team, they
decided at a meeting held last Mon
day night. TO get behind and boost
for a Clayton team. With this CO.
operative spirit on the part Of the
Legion, the opportunity is open for
the organization of ball team
made up OF ball players. Several
of the Legion team will be seen
in the lineup and will give the ma
terial around which TO build team.
"a meeting will be held next Mon
day night at the Pioneer Garage,
and every fan and business man is
requested TO come and assist in or
nnizing a Clayton bail team. The
afton Of the Legion is deserving Of
pfaise for their progressive spirit
'iG boosting for civic enterprises. II
is hoped that the Chamber Of Com
merce or the Rotary Club will also
get behind this move anf promote

ROTARIANS FAILTO
ROTATE ENOUGH

OF all unique ball games ever
pulled off. well bet our last years
hat that Clayton gets the persim-
mon. This game was the one pulled
off on the local diamond yesterday.
The unique part of il is that a
team composed Of all left handed
men was organized a few DAYS ago
and yesterday took ON team com
posed of members of the Rotary
Club. And say, it was some game!
The talk that had been going on
around town and the fact that the
proceeds were, to go to the Pueblo
flood sufferers drew big attend
ance and everybody was keyed to
the highest pitch, and the rooters
yelled themselves hOarse for their
favOrites.
Before the game Ira Pennington
and Morgan Harvey, representing
the Rotary, and Alex Lucas, the
Left-handers, dressed in clown suits
ana painted ito kill" rode thru the
streets announcing the game, and'
at the fair grounds their antics were
much in evidence. On Lucass back
was a sign: we Put the Rot in

Henry Errett acted in the capacity
of manager for the -Rotarians. while
George Granville ramrodded the
SOuthpaws.
The game started off, in regular
professional style, and for three in
nings it looked as though there
would be a real ball game. In the
first inning the Rotary Club scored
one run and in the second the Lefties
retailiated and evened up the score.
But in the third the big balloon
went up; the pOrisiders began boot
ling the ball, and when the mist had
Ieleared" away seven runs were
chalked up for the Rotary. In the
fourth the Rotary scored another
run. The left handlers did not do
anything until the last inning, and
when they came TO bat the Rotary
Club thought il was all over but
the shouting But mistakes will
happen in the best regulated famil-
les. Jenkins, the first man up, got
TO Anderson and hit safely Then
the yelling began, and almost every
man up hit for a safety. The RO-
tarians hoped into the big balloon,
threw away their ballast and took
a long trip straight up, and when
they came down eleven sOuthpaWs
had crossed the plate safely, max
ing the score nine to twelve. The
Rotarians started a rally in their
half, but only got one run across
the plate, and the game ended II to
10. 49,
The features OF the game were
the pitching of John Hill, the catch
ing of DR.. Hurley, the nice catch

we must not forget the errors-they

The receipts were about St20 and

turned over to the Red Gross for

Before winding up this, we would

CLEANUP SQUAD.

The following appeal has been issued
to the general public, to all civic and
patriotic societies and to members OF
The American Legion and The Aneri-
can Red Cross, to rally to the support
81 the Cleanup Squad Campaign be-
ing conducted by the United States
Bureau for the benefit of disabled vet
Grams of the World War.
The success or failure of the Clean
Up Campaign which the United States
Veterans Bureau with the help of the
American Legion and the American
Red Cross is about to start in Grange
+ vile for the benefit of our disabled
veterans hinges in large measure upon
the support it receives from the gener-
al public, from all civic, fraternal SOC
ieties and from members of the Amer
lean Legion and the American Red
Cross.
1T is up to friends of our service
men to see that all disabled veterans
who have Il claim upon the govern
ment are put in touch with the Clean
Up Squad; that the location of the
Squads headquarters and the fact that
it is at work are as widely known as
possible; and that public opinion In
the community, through meetings, no
ticeS, and sermons, is mobilized for
sympathetic support of the drive
"The coming of the Governments
Clean Up Squad, bringing as it does
much needed relief to many disabled
veterans who have found it impossible
hitherto to get their claims attended
to, offers many opportunities for dis
interested public service. The follow
ing are just suggested as some of the
things where one may help; in the 10
cation Of headquarters for the Clean
Up Squad in a central, comfortable
and convenient place; in having notices
made public at all gatherings, civic.
fraternal and religious as to the work
Of the Squad and its location; In PUP
plying the Clean Up Squad with vol
untary clerical aid in influenc ing
newspapers to give the drive fullest
publicity; In speaking to ex-service
men, particularly disabled. about the
drive; and in notifying the Clean Up
Headquarters of disabled veterans be
lieved to be in need of and entitled to
y Government aid"

the progressive women of this section,

Grangeville is fortunate in having
more than the ordinary amount of

cultural value of music, we shall also
begin to understand that, after the
beginning of reading, writing, arith-
metic and geometry, music has greater
practical value than any other sub
ject taught in our schools"
, Harvard University has recognized
this year in her recent announcement
that henceforth, music and history will
be treated as allied subjects and giver
equal importance In her curriculum.
The day is fast arriving when the
boy or girl who is without some mus
ical training will be sadly Handicapped
in both their college and business

afford to encourage every effort 70
