Clayton Trims st. Anne's Clut
i to O-The Clayton Baseball Clut
returned to the win column the
past weekend. They tripped Mike
McGonigars strong st. Anne's
Club of Wilmington Ally League
I to 0. This is the fourth straight
game in the past two seasons that
st. Anne's has failed to score a
run. The game was the finest of
the season with each club fighting
nip and tuck with the winner new
er certain until the final out.
Mgr. Perc Hall was on the mound
for the locals and pitched great
game, allowing hits, retiring IL
via strikeout route with no free
passes. Eddie Rembeche, on the
mound for the losers, was very ef-
lective also, allowing the locals 5
hits. Halls long double, Boyles'
infield out and Nose Gray's timely
single scored the lone and winning
run. Messimer and Coleman play
ed a great fielding game for the
locals, making many fine catches
and stops. This coming weekend
is a tough one for the locals. On
Saturday the strong Wyoming
Club will be visitors at the Clay
ton Ball Park. Wyoming is going
great at present and will make the
locals travel at a fast clip. AL
Tripe is expected to get the mound
call for the locals opposed by Bill
Palmer and Passwaters, Wyoming
battery. On Sunday Clayton will
lay at Milford with Buck Sevil or
Perc Hall doing mound duty for
Clayton. Added strength will be
seen in the local lineup this week
end. Bill Maitland, veteran Ches-
ter star, will fill one infield posi-
ton while Basora is expected to
take one of the catching duties in
place of the ailing Taylor. Taylor's
leg is greatly handicapping his
play. Both Maitland and Basora
are strong hitters and fast in the
field. Maitland's pepper will add
much to the Clayton lineup. On
Sunday the Leipsic CCC Camp
and Kennedyville will play on the
local grounds. This is expected to
be an interesting tussel. Turn out
and give the locals a boost through
