Clayton Baseball Club dropped
close one to the strong Wyoming
club at Wyoming on Saturday to
the tune of 6 to 5. The game was
nip and tuck with Clayton the un-
der dog giving Wyoming plenty of
scores. Wyoming regarded Clay
ton as a pushover but soon changed
their opinion after the first inning.
Clayton scored four runs in first
aiming off Palmer, former Clayton
twirler. Whiteman, Newark boy,
pitched a steady game and should
have been a winner. Two miscues
by his teammates gave Wyoming
the victory. The fielding of Fred
Wiley stood out for Wyoming.
For Clayton the pitching and hit
ting of Whiteman was the bright
light. Holloway and Taylor, Har-
rington stars, fill big gaps in Clay
ton defense. On Sunday the sec
end class championship series be-
tween Seaford and Clayton provid-
ed many thrills. In the first game
Clayton won 2 to 0. Sevil, Clay
ton southpaw, and Favinger, Sea-
ford's twirling ace, hooked up in a
beautiful mound duel. E. Taylor
scored the first run on a hit by
Holloway. This stopped the scor-
ing util the eighth when Mag
scored the final run. Sevil was
given brilliant support by his team
mates. r. Knight had seven
chances on third while E. Taylor
had many at short. The hitting of
Dutch" Mag, Clayton's first
sacker, was a fine sight to see.
Mag had a clean slate with three
hits and one run out of three times
at bat. w. Taylor, behind the bat,
played a wonderful game and was
particularly strong at holding run
ners close to the bases. The hit
ting of E. Taylor was also help
ing hand for Clayton. Frankie"
Monaco was the fielding and bat
ting star for Seaford. In the sec
ond game Clayton dropped close
one to Seaford, to 0. Britting-
ham was a real puzzle to the Clay
ton sluggers. Hantwerker, former
railroad twirler, pitched a strong
game for Clayton, allowing only 4
hits. Errors on the part of his
teammates causing his downfall
The three runs were uneaned- The
winning twirler allowed only four
hits Cole, Holloway and r. Knight
did the hitting for Cayton while
frankie" Monaco again stood out
for Seaford w. Taylor's brilliant
work behind the bat was a strong
feature for Clayton while the field
ing of E. Taylor also helped great
1y. Clayton will hook up with Sea-
ford in another doubleheader at
Seaford on Sunday starting at
1.3O. On Saturday Clayton will
play its final home game of the
season when they meet the strong
Wyoming Club. Wyoming is con-
sidered the finest club in the State
and a good showing by our boys
should be a great credit to them.
A pitcher the calibre of Whiteman,
with a strong club that Clayton IS
capable of putting out, should pro-
vide Wyoming with many anxious
moments.
