Clayton Baseball Club will open
the season at local park on Sun
day, opposed to their most heated
rival, Dover Chicks. This game
should prove of intense interest as
several Clayton players are former
Doverites. Manager Wiley had
his charges out for practice on
last Saturday and Sunday in prep
aration for these battles. Clayton
will play at Dover Saturday. Man
ager Wiley is very much impress
ed with several local boys and feels
confident he has the makings of a
strong winning club. Taylor, form
er Newport catcher, in Del-Mar
League, is in fine shape and should
bolster the club very much. He
will have fine little catcher in
Palmer as his understeady. Sevil,
brilliant southpaw of last year, is
showing fine form and is expected
to open the local season on Sunday.
Orvis, former Wyoming twirler,
will follow Sevil 70 mound on Sun
day. Hilyard is expected to open
game at Dover on Saturday. He
will work three innings and then
be relieved by j. Knight, S. Knight
or Vaughn. Mag, Everett, Mis-
sinner and R. Knignt will take care
of infield duties on the opening
toss. Cole, Montague, Harrington,
Walls, Davis, Grace, Bailey, Boyd
and Lawton will all get a chance
in outfield. In a short four inning
game on past Sunday the catching
and throwing of Taylor stood out.
This will be the first legal Sunday
game at local park so turn out and
show the local boy your apprecia-
ton. The Radio that is being
given away by Clayton Club will
go off tomorrow, Friday, at p.
m. If you don't have your tickets
get them now as the time is draw
ing short. Come out, everyone.
You may be the lucky one. Man
ager Wiley requests that every
player be present at the meeting in
Fire Hall tomorrow night. The
Clayton Club wishes to thank it's
many supporters for their turnout
at the minstrel show last Wednes-
day evening at ST. Joseph's School
auditorium. Come out Sunday and
see your new club
