an enthusiastic crowd, Clayton, for
the fifth consecutive year, won the
Boys Baseball Junior champion
ship of its Division an of Kent
County at Clayton last Wednesday
by downing a strong Frederica
team by the score of IL to z. Thus
Clayton reversed the tables on the
team which had given them the
only defeat in seven games played
to date. This was the first game
in which Cole pitched for Clayton.
A combination of hits, walks and
errors gave Freedrica 6 run lead.
However, in the last of the third,
Rash, pitching for Frederica, be-
came wild and Clayton tied the
score at 6 all. In the fifth Clay
ton went ahead but Frederick tied
the score at z all in the sixth. In

ed 5 runs to win the game. We
