their organization was formed
when Mr.. Howell Sevil passed
away OF Monday at 1925. Mr..
Sevil was one of the originators
of the club and had acted as treas
urer for the club. He was one of
the hardest workers and at all
times did his best to better the
club. He was loved by everyone
of the players and leaves a sad
spot in the heart of each and
every one. We wish to offer our
most sincere sympathy to the fam
lily of this dear beloved citizen that
has passed into the golden beyond.
His loss has left a sad spot in the
heart of our entire community.
On Saturday the Clayton and
Arden game was rained out. On
Sunday Clayton suffered a slight
setback when Dover turned oul
boys back by a 8 to 2 score in one
of the best games of the season.
Muir on the mound for Dover
pitched a wonderful game and was
especially tight in the pinches.
Clayton threatened in the ninth
when with two men On base, with
only one out, but ]. knight and
Messick were unable to produce a
hit. Sevil started on the mound
for Clayton but was off form and
replaced by J. Knight knight
pitched great ball, allowing only
one hit in last seven innings, but
errors in the outfield by Harring-
ton and Jensen, caused his down
fall. This evens their five game
series two to two. Palmer was the
leading hitter for Clayton, while
Larimore was best for the"Chicks"
On Saturday Clayton will go to
Goldsboro for another battle. In
their last meeting Goldsboro won
/ TO 0 in one of the most hectic
games of the season. On Sunday
Triangle will return again for the
deciding game of the five game SER
les each team having won two.
Each game has been close and in
teresting and drew big crowds. AL
Trippe or Nufiro may be called on
to do mound work. Nufio holds
two victories over Clayton while
Trippe has dropped two. Snooks
Knight, young highlander, who
made such a good showing against
the strong Mer-Bee team, will
probably get the call for Clayton
This Will be the last game for
Jimmy Messick, our star shortstop
as he is leaving on the goth, to re-
sumo his studies at Duke Univer-
sity. Jimmy has been field cap
tain of our team for two years and
has a very large following. Come
out, friends, and bid this young
star a fitting farewell with best
wishes to return again next season
We would like to see Jimmy try
out for the University team next
season as we feel confident he is
capable of filing the bill for JACK
Combs, former big league star anc
now coach of Duke.
