Saturday Clayton visited wy.
oming. The result, Wyoming 1
Clayton O.. What a game. This
was declared the best game of the
season at Wyoming Park. Eagle
Marshall of Clayton and Killen OF
the winners. engaged in one of the
strongest mound duels ever wit
messed on local fields. Each
hurler allowed three hits. Only one
runner for Clayton reached second
while two Wyoming men were Wis
dtors to second. Killen walked one
man and Marshall none. The lone
run scored was on a very freakish
play. Dick Roberts first up in the
fifth for Wyoming, hit a hard drive
to center. Gray raced to the spot
as the ball was about to hit and
made an effort to reach same and
hold runner on second. Just as he
reached for the ball it hit a small
cement marker and bounded to
right field allowing Roberts to pull
up at third base. He scored on an
infield out to shortstop. A double
play, Gray to Everett was strong
fielding feature of the game. Mes
sick played a brilliant game at
short, while Graham stood out for
the winners. Newman. Gray and
Trippe collected Clayton's hits
while Roberts, Roe and Grace
bingled for the winners. On Sun
day another great pitchers battle
was on hand until the eighth.
Arden was dropped by the local
club, to 8. The game was nip
and tuck until the eighth when
Clayton fell on Eddie Donovan and
scored runs. Nose Gray collect
ed two hits in this inning. Sevil
was on the mound for Clayton un-
til relieved by AL Trippe in ninth
after three straight bingles by the
losers. He put out the fire and
soon ended the battle by superb
pitching. Al Trippe was a feature
of the game. With score / to 0
against Clayton, Al hit one of the
longest drives ever seen over the
signboard in deep left field by
twenty-five feet for home run.
His running catch in sixth inning
was very hard and timely. He
turned complete somersault after
the catch due to being off balance.
Then not satisfied with these eff
forts came to the mound to end a
ninth inning rally. Jockie New
man was on wild hitting spree
collecting a triple, double and two
singles. Fine work Jockie, keep it
up. Bill Taylor was back in the
harness again and did well al
though he still favors the injured
knee badly. Big Ed Thompson
was at first base and gave a fine
exhibition Eagle Marshall was in
left field with Everett at second
base. Basara, Arden catcher, show
ed plenty of pep and caught two
runners mapping at rst on attempt
ed bunts. Apolach also played a
nice fielding game at short. Thorn
as was the leading hitter for the
losers while newman led for the
locals. Baseball for the coming
weekend is red-hot. Saturday
Wyoming will play at Clayton. A
repetition of last weeks game is
hoped for. These clubs have al
ways played close games and a
scorcher can be expected. Marshall
and Killen are expected to hook up
again. Marshall has asked for the
opportunity. He feels that luck
cannot always go the other way.
On Sunday things will be the hot
test. Townsend at Clayton. Win
ner take all. What dose. Woe
be unto the loser. Manager Ban
ming and Gray of their respective
clubs have much confidence in
their charges. Everything will be
for blood. Nothing will be spared
by these clubs in their efforts to
take this battle. Townsend holds
one 2 to l victory over the locals.
The trend for revenge is running
high in the veins of the local camp.
One of the largest crowds Of the
season is expected to witness this
tussel. Probable lineup:
CLAYTON TOWNSEND
Newman, 3b Goodman, 2b
Everett. IF. w. Sickle, If.
