Close of Baseball SeaS0n-Ihe
Clayton Baseball Club has just
closed a very successful season on
the past Sunday by trimming
Frank Ventresca's Wilmington ALL
Stars, to /. The All-Stars line
up was featured with many of the
outstanding players of Wilmington.
Eddie Weatherlow, who is rated as
the hardest hitting outfielder in
Wilmington, played a leading part
for the losing nine. Tut" Talley,
property of st. Louis Brow's and
Texas League pitcher, was on the
mound for visitors and hooked up
in a fine mound duel with "Al"
Trippe, Clayton's star right-hand-
er. Trippe pitched brilliant ball.
In the sixth inning Weatherlow,
first batter up, tripled, but was
kept from scoring by brilliant
pitching of Trippe. He retired the
next three batters in easy fashion.
Jockie Newman and Reds" Pass
waters led the hitting for Clayton.
Passwather'S catch of a long foul
ball by Auster, was easily the most
brilliant play of the game. New
mans steady play has been a great
feature of Clayton games of late.
Jockie has also been the clubs
most consistent hitter. Taney's
double and Weatherlow's single
provided the lone run scored by
the Wilmington club. The Clayton
management wishes to take this
opportunity Of thanking each and
every one Of their followers for the
fine support they have given the
club this season.
