CLAYTON GOES
in DEFEAT
BY GRENVILLE

Slaughtered is the correct word to
us in describing the treatment Civ
en- the Clayton ball-tossers, by the
Grenville team on last Sunday. The
scene of the massacre was on the
Grenville diamond, and before the
noisest bunch of baseball fans we
have heard this year 10 was not all
the fault of Grenvillo either, be-
cause from a spectators viewpoint,
it seemed that the Clayton boys
were like sheep being lead to the
slaughter" they were perfectly will
ling.
The game started off just as tho
the Grays we're in for blood Right
off the reel they began hitting the
ball and scored a run in the first
inning. But say when they went ON
the field they began the funny work
When a ball was hit in the infield
it seemed that our fielders had
special grudge against the ball
They would slap il down, kick it and
jump ON il and when they gave up
pulling off the fantastic stunts
three runs were marked up in the
Grcnville column The worst of the
proposition was that this perGor-
nance was kept up during the entire
game. We do not feel like giving
the number of errors because it
might be embarrassing, hut we know
! 10 will be along time before as. many
will be made in anyone game.
Howard Moore was The batting
kid gathering four hits out of five
times at the bat. Caldwell and Lynch
each got two hits ont of four times
lup. Johnny Corich, on the mound
for Clayton started pitching good
ball but lost heart after the first
three innings, owing to the miser-
able support.
The Grenvlle team is well balan-
ced and every man was ON his toes
all the time. They not only fielded
I the ball in perfect style but at the
HAT they were perfect demons and
landed hard on the pill, knocking il
TO all corners of the lot Cudd, third
hasemm, in the eighth inning, hit
for a home rum. Smith and Cres-
well periermcd on the mound fol
Grenville and fourteen hits, whilC
the boys gathered the same number
off Of Corich and Lynch. The score
ended lS to 9 in Grenvilles favor
| Clayton is by no means discouraged
| The boys know The game and with ;
little more practice they will let tn,
other teams know they are really II
the game. Otto is booked TO play her,
Sunday Otto met defeat at the hand
of Mt Dora last Sunday, by score
of TO I and Clayton hopes to Civ
them a dose of like nature.

ROTARY HOLDS So
CIAL ON THE PERICO

The last day of june, 1921. is one
which will long be remembered by
the members of the Clayton Rotary
club and their families. On that
date the Rotarians, Rotary-anns Ro-
tarieltes and Rotary-ann-eltcs, rO-
tating at least one hundred strong,
were led by their popular president,
BRO. \. H." to the banks of the
PericO, about seven miles west Of
town.
After all had reached the spot
the Rotary aims, true to form, be-
gan spreading tableclOlhs upon the
greensward upon which they heap
ed all kinds Of tasty viands, ranging
from pickles, sandwiches, Saratoga
chips, cottage cheese, deviled eggs,
pie, ice cream, DEVILS food, cen unto
angel food, so that each one might
partake and feel at home. Yes, Bac-
chus was there but since the law
has robbed him Of the kick he pOss-
essed in the good old days, he ap-
peared in the form of iced-tea, Java
and H2O. fresh brewed by the
springs along the banks Of the PERI
co.
After doing justice to the repast

RAILROADERS WAGES
WILL BE REDUCED

Chicago. June Employees on
virtually every railroad in the cOun-
try will be reduced twelve per cent
in pay as ordered by the United
States railroad labor board, to take
effect July 1, following a supple
mental decision today extending the
order 70 nearly one hundred addi-
tional roads
The wage slash authorized by the
board on June 1 to take effect next
Friday, originally contemplated i0i
railroads, aItho not all employees
were affected on all roads. Todays
addendum 10 Chat decision includes
30 roads, many OF. which We're par
ties to the original decision, but
which returned to ask REDUCTIONS
for classes Of their employees not
covered in the firstsorder.
Reductions Authorized
The reductions authorized today
are identical with those of the orig
inal order, the only change being the
addition of rates for marine work
ers in certain harbors and of sec
tion covering restaurant and dining
car employees, whose wages were or
dered reduced by sixty per cent Of
all increases received since Fcbru-
airy %, 1920
With exception of a few subsid-
larry lines, whose parent owners fiji
ed petitions for reductions, every
railroad in the country affected by
decision number2 the labor boards
/ six hundred million dollar wage
award of July, 1920, has now been
| authorized to reduce wages an ave-
rage of ~ per cent. Most Of them
have such permission for all classes
Of employees I'm addition. nearly
Two score other roads which volun-
iarily applied the increased scale
fixed by the board in 1920, also have
received authorization to make a
similar cut.
Reduction of SiOO,OOO,OOO
Basing its figures on the normal
number OF employees on all roads af-
( fecled by decision number ., the
labor board recently estimated that
its ~ per cent reduction would lop
approximately siOOOOO,OOO from the
nations railroad wage bill, if ap-
piled TO all employees Comparative
ily few roads now have a full quota
| of employees, but restoration Of nor
NAL conditions and application of
the boards cut to all employees OF
the larger railroads will probably
make the siO0OOO0OO reduction a
reality.

his home about $3.50 o'clock. His
right eye had been gouged out OF
his head with an ice pick or fork.
The position In which he was found

ter an exhaustive Investigation
which lasted through the greater

to the effect that Thomas death
