CLAYTON Baseball Continues to
Win:-The Clayton Baseball Clut
extended their win streak tC
eight straight games by winning
two games over the past weekend
On Saturday at Dover, Clayton
tripped the Capital City boys 8 to
5. johnnie" knight, Clayton
slabster, had things his own way
and with a to 0 lead was relieved
by Adams. This was Adams first
tryout with Clayton. He Jared
very poorly and Dover scored four
runs. Adams was relieved by
Buck" Sevil in the sixth and had
easy coasting the rest of the game.
Dutch" Mag, Clayton first sack
er, broke up his hitting slump in
this game with long double and
a single. Bob" Knight also had
two hits for Clayton. Barney
Muir, Dover southpaw, had three
hits for Dover. Taylor adm Everett
played very efficient fielding game
for Clayton. Montague, Clayton
outfielder, is out sick but is expect
ed back soon. On Sunday Clayton
stepped out again and tripped the
strong Harrington Club 5 to 8.
Orvis was hit rather freely by Har-
rington, but was at his strongest in
the pinches. Harrington had 13
men stranded on bases. At one
time three runners were on base
with no outs but Orvis tightened
and allowed no runs to score. In
ferior infield play constantly kept
him in hole, but strong pitching
in pinches brought home the bacon
Bill" Taylor, Clayton catcher, hit
one of the longest drives ever seen
at the local park. Everett played
a flashy game in the outfield. Mis-
sinner was relieved at short by j.
Knight in the sixth. Missimer is
bothered with slight Charley
horse but is expected to be ready
for this weekend. T. Masten and
Morris were leading hitters for the
losers. Morris played a brilliant
game at short for the visitors. This
will be the strongest weekend of
the season for Clayton. On Satur-
day, Wyoming will play at the To-
cal park. This will be the first
meeting of these clubs this season.
A stern battle is expected for these
heated rivals. On Sunday doc"
Griers Milford Club will come back
again. In their last meeting Clay
ton won 5 to 0. Sevil allowed the
strong Milford Club one hit. Doc
Grier promises a much improved
team for this meeting. Come out
