Clayton Keeping Winning Sreak
- On Saturday Clayton's win
streak was stopped on its seventh
try. Harrington topped the locals
in a 12-inning hard-fought tussel,
4 to 2. Ramsdell shaded Mgr .Perc
Hall in a fine mound duel. This
victory gives Harrington 2 to l
edge in series play. The hitting of
Masten for Harrington and Carey
and Marshall for the locals, featur-
ed the game. On Sunday Clayton
returned to its winning ways by
again trouncing Frank Lawson's
Middletown Club, 6 to 0. Mgr.
Lawson had greatly strengthened
his club for this game with such
notable players as Lex Gillespie of
Chester, Truh Lyster Of Philadel-
phia, Shirden, Rea, Walsh and
Chippey Bennett also from Phila-
delphia vicinities. Walsh started
on the mound for the visitors but
was driven to cover early when the
locals went to work and scored
four runs in the first inning. Chip
DIV Bennett relieved Walsh and held
the locals in check until the fifth
when they scored two more tallies.
Lefty Worrall on the mound for
Clayton, pitched remarkable
game and always had the visitors
well in hand. At one time with
bases loaded and one out he retired
the side without run, forcing
Whiteoak to pop up and retiring
Bennett on strikes to end the in
ming. He was at his greatest in
the pinches. The great fielding of
Charley Messimer at short was the
leading figure of the day. He
handled hard chances without a
slip. The fielding of Sheridan and
Preston was best for the losers.
Marshall and Sheridan led the hit
ting for their respective clubs. This
is the third straight game Clayton
has defeated Middletown without a
score. This is Clayton's fourth
straight Sunday game without be-
ing scored upon. On Saturday our
neighboring rivals, Townsedn, will
be at Clayton. Each club will be
fighting hard for a chance to take
the edge on the season play, which
now stands at and 3. In their

regular lineup for this tilt with
