Clayton Baseball Club dropped q
close one at Goldsboro on Saturday
I to 0. A raw umpire decision at
the plate, when spectator had in
terfered with the ball at third, rob-
bed Clayton of at least tie and
probably victory. Urry allowed
Clayton only widely scattered hits.
A long two-bagger by r. Knight
was Clayton's best blow while Hol-
land, with a double and single led
for Goldsboro. Sevil on the mound
for Clayton pitched steady game
allowing seven hits, retiring seven
via strikeout route. A fielding gem
was double play, Mag to Mes
sick. Mag made leaping one
hand stab of drive by Andrews
and tossed to Messick, doubling
Holland off second. On Sunday
Vaughn pitched his second straight
victory for Clayton by turning
back Hope Lodge of Wilmington,
z to 2. He was steady throughout
and was unbeatable after second
inning. The hitting of Harrington,
Everett, Palmer and Messick, fea-
tured for Clayton, while North and
Montgomery were best for Hope
Lodge. Messick was the fielding
star for Clayton. On Saturday,
Clayton will hook up with its most
heated rival, Smyrna. Smyrna has
just reorganized and are boasting

game will be played on the Smyrna
