send Club tripped the locals twice,
S to and to 8. On Saturday
Long was too much for Clayton
after the first inning. Sevil on the
mound for Clayton, pitched good
ball but was not given the support
like his opponents. Newman.
Opalach and Eagle Marshall led
the hitting for Clayton while
Townsend leaders were Passwaters
and Goodman. Passwaters has
been hitting at a fast clip for this
series banging out 10 hits in four
games. On Sunday at Townsend
before the biggest crowc to ever
witness a ball game on the Can
ners' field, Townsend again turned
back the local boys to 8. Chief
Bender, AS star of old and winner
of 6 world series games, started on
the mound for the winners. He
gave very good exhibition and at
bat drove in the winners first two
runs. He was relieved py Jimmy
Scully in the 4th, who pitched
masterful ball throughout. Jimmy
is a mighty fine looking prospect
with plenty of nerve. He was in
a hole many times but always
came out on top. Marcus, Pass
waters and E. Lloyd stood out for,
the winners. while Newman again
led for Clayton. Brownie" Cole
man hit long triple for Clayton
in the seventh scoring Everett
from first with Clayton's third run.
Eagle Marshall pitched commend
able ball but his support was lack
ing at times. A high wind made
fly balls very hard to handle. A
fast double play, Syoyda to Trippe
was a life-saver. Trippe's all
around play was outstanding for
Clayton. Briston's catch of Gray's
hard liner was a saving feature for
the Gamers. Marshall had two
stolen bases. Manager Banning is
to be congratulated for the fine
team he has assembled The addi-
tion of four Perryville players and
Passwaters has greatly strength
ened his club with power to meet
any first class clubs The Clayton
management has decided not to
play this coming weekend due to
the world series being the center
of attraction Many of the players
work and Sunday being their only
day off want to enjoy one world
series game On Sunday, October
13, Clayton will close the season
meeting the strong Townsend Club
in a double header at Clayton Ball
Park, starting at o'clock Sport
