Clayton Loses to Milford - The
CLAYTON Baseball Club received a
severe jolt on the past Sunday
when the strong Milford Club, 1885
State Champs, trounced the local
club 5 to 0. The game was nip
and tuck for innings with Mil

Sevil, Clayton twirler, weakened
and with the disadvantage of poor
support, allowed Milford A runs.
Mgr. Perc Hall relieved Sevil and
held the visiting sluggers scoreless
for remainder of game. Zip Le-
gates, the hard hitting visiting

Mag has been going great this
year and along with Eagle Mar
shall, is Clayton's leading batter.
Clayton badly felt the absence of
Jackie Newman, local third base
man, who is out with a spike
wound on his right hand. Marshall
was stationed at third, Brownie
Coleman played a great game in
left for the locals, accepting sew
eral hard chances and having one
hard hit at the plate. Doggie
Boyles also played fine fielding
game. Slopy outfield and infield
play was largely responsible for
most of Milford's runs. Bill Tay-
lor, local catcher, is greatly hand
icapped by his injured leg. This
Saturday Clayton travels to Town
send to open the season series with
these most deadly rivals. When
ever these two clubs meet you can
look for everything that goes with
