their weekend bill On Saturday
at fredericksburg, Clayton was no
match for the home club losing 10
to 1. Rawley on the mound for
Clayton, pitched commendable ball
but was the victim of poor support.
He himself had two errors. Hudson
the winning twirler, was very
strong, allowing Clayton hitters
to only six hits and retiring IL via
strike outs. Stanley was the lead
ing hitter for the winners while
Everett and Taylor lead for Clay
ton. On Sunday 'Buch" Sevil was
in rare form and turned back the
strong st. AIMS Club of Whining
ton 5 to o. This is three straight
games that Clayton has turned
back Mike McGonigle's crew with
out a run. 1t was Sevil's second
scoreless game against St. AIMS.
McGonigle, st. AIMS ace hurler,
was the losing moundsman but
pitched commendable baseball in
all but two innings. Messick and
Sevil were the leading hitters for
Clayton while Mcfarland was best
for the losers. Mag played fine

ing many hard chances. Clayton

Remodeling Clayton Fire Truck
for Service:-T Clayton fire de.
partment is rapidly completing the
work of remodeIing a fire truck tc
be used in fighting fires in the ru-
raj areas where the water supply
is very scarce. Some months ago
one Of the departments fire trucks
was replaced with new and mod
ern piece Of apparatus. Instead OF
abandoning the discarded truck
the Clayton firemen dismantled il
and rebuilt the chasis and the mo-
tor. They next procured a nine
hundred gallon tank which was
mounted on the chassis and then
they installed small pump on the
truck which will give them piece
of fire fighting equipment that will
carry its own water supply into the
frming areas where the supply
may not be so great. The Clayton
fire department serves a large ru-
raj area and most of their calls
have come from the farming dis
tricts. In the past their work in
fighting many of these farm fires
has been handicapped due to the
lack of water and the designing of
this new truck was to overcome
this handicap. 1t is expected that
the new truck will be placed in ser
vice within a week or ten days As
far as could be learned this will be
the only fire truck of this type in
service in this section Of the coun-
try.
