hard-fought pitchers battle,
Clayton defeated Su0lersville at
Sudlersville, on Saturday, by the
score of 1 to 0. Sevil for Clayton
allowed the home team four hits
while Betz held Clayton to five.
The lone run was scored in the
ninth inning when Harrington
gained first by virtue of an error
by Atkinson, stole second and scor-
ed on a single by Hurd. Rain
played havoc with the big attrac-
tion carded for Sunday when the
game with Twelfth Ward was call
ed in the last half of the second
inning with Twelfth Ward leading
2 to O.. Lamb was on the mound
for Clayton while Ventresca was
working for Twelfth Ward. On
Saturday, August 20. Goldsboro,
Md, will be Clayton opponents on
the Clayton field at Jimtown. This
should be an interesting tussel as
both teams are in the thick of the
battle for second half champions
of the Mar-Del League. On Sun
day our neighboring rivals to the
south, Dover Chicks, come back
for another tussel. Dover has pre-
viously defeated Clayton twice this
year by very low scores Of 3 to 2
and 4 to 2 and we are out to
change the tune at this meeting
Dover Chicks" have very prom
ising young players on their club
featuring the mighty Mag star
first baseman; Pikus, Delaware
College Captain; Mayer, Yale Uni
versity star; Jensen, former Wy
oming feet outfielder. This team
carries plenty Of power and will be
hard to overcome but our boys are
out for victory and promise to
have the strongest combination of
the year on hand. Come out and
help our boys float the Victory
Flag over our Capital rivals.
