Clayton Baseball Club Continued
their winning streak to six games
over the weekend by winning two
games from the strong Harrington
and Milford Clubs. On Saturday
at Harrington, Clayton won IL to
z in a ten-inning tussle. Clayton
led z to / until the ninth when
Hilyard, Clayton twirler, weakened
and allowed six runs to tie the
score. He was relieved by Orvis
who halted further scoring in the
tenth. In the tenth Clayton came
back strong when an error, base
on balls, singles by Everett and
Missimer and a double by R.Knight
scored four runs. Taylor, Faulk-
ner and r. Knight led the hitting
for Clayton. t. Masten and Nor
ris were best for the losers. Ev-
erett, brilliant Cayton player, who
has been shifted from second base
to the outfield, is playing the best
ball of his career. He seems to
have his ideal position in the out
field. His throwing has been the
best ever seen in these parts. The
infeld play of Messimer and Faulk-
ner has also been brilliant, many
double plays resulting. Taylor,
Clayton catcher, is showing great
form behind the bat and one of our
leading hitters. On Sunday at
Clayton the local boys spoiled the
season starter for Milford by drop
ping the Mispillion boys 5 to O.
Sevil, Clayton's brilliant southpaw,
allowed the visitors one hit and al
lowed only four men to reach first
and one to second. McCullough's S
single was the only hit off Sevil.
A base on balls, sacrifice and an
error gave Clayton its first run.
Four came in the third on two
bases on balls, an error and doubles
by Taylor and Bob" knight. A
large crowd was on hand but was
much Handicapped by extreme cold
weather. The showing of the local
club by dropping these two strong
clubs has much impressed the 10
cal fans and they are craving much
more similar action. On Saturday
Clayton will be at Dover to help
the Capital City boys entertain at
Dover's Annual Home Coming. On
Sunday the strong Harrington Club
will be at Clayton. Clayton is ex-
pecting strong battle as Harring-
ton has promised to even the score
for Clayton's victory on the past
Saturday. Manager Wiley has
made no mound selections but
Johnnie knight, a Dover jinx, will
probably toe the mound on Satur-
day Come out and see the Clay
ton Club in action, as action is
much sweeter than words.
