completing their most successful
season in Basketball in which theil
team won four of the six games
played, the Clayton school boys
opened their baseball season with
a 21 to decision over the Leipsio
school and community team
Bailey and Parker were in fine
form and did not allow a hit dur
ing the entire seven innings. Ou1
boys had new suits and played
like real champions. The team
which Coach Hickman placed on
the field consisted of Hutchison
Catcher; Bailey, pitcher; Parker
Gooding, Cole and Semon in the
infield, and Walton, Hill and Stew
art in the outfeld. Duplicating
the feat of the boys team, the
Clayton School Lassies easily
romped away with a 46 to IA vic
tory over the Leipsic girls. E.
Kraus pitched a very good game
for our girls. This seems to be
the best team our girls have ever
had in baseball. The eighth grade
of our school is busily engaged in
raising funds for its trip. Last
year our grade visited Conowingo
and Valley Forge. This year we
are planning to go to Annapolis,
