the past weekend. On Saturday
at Townsend the locals tripped the
Townsend Gamers 8 to 2. This
evens the season series 8 to 8 with
6 more games to play. Lefty Wor-
rail-, on the mound for Clayton
pitched a mosterful game, coupled
I'D with fine support. The slug
ging of Herman and Messimer
stood out for Clayton. Bob Dugan
pitched a good game for Townsend
but was the victor of two homers,
one each by Messimer and Herman.
Messick also had long triple.
Schumar led the hitting for the
losers. The remarkable infield play
of the winners stood out. On Sun
day Clayton again continued their
ink over Mike McGonegars st.
AIMS crew of Wilmington by trip
ping them to 0. This is straight
games that Clayton has defeated
st. AIMS without a run. This is
quite a record because st. AIMS
has a fine record in Wilmington
and always give other down-state
towns lots of trouble. Mgr. Hall
was in rare form. This is the Srd
straight shutout for Mgr. Hall, he
previously having tripped Colds
boro and Middletown 9 to 0 and 6
to 0 respectively. Our club is real
ly clicking at present and shapes
up as our best club ever. Efforts
are being made to strengthen the
competition. Efforts are also being
made to boost Milford for series
of games. On Saturday Harring-
ton will play at Clayton. These
two clubs have split two-game
seies thus far. Harrington has
added much strength to their club
since the last meeting. A strong
game is looked for as Clayton is
out to gain an edge in the season
series. Clayton holds an edge over
every club played except Milford
and are tied with Harrington, Fed
eralsburg and Townsend. On Sum
day Frank Lawson aagin brings
hisc strong Middletown Club to
Clayton. Lawson is still smarting
from that 6 to 0 lacing of last
week. A great game is looked for.
Mgr. Lawson has sent advanced
notice that he is bringing a much
stronger club and a battery that
will set the locals down. Mgr.
Hall will rely on his regular line
up to again turn the tables. Clay
ton has shutout Middletown in the
last two games played. Turn out
everyone and give the local club
a great boost. Your help is need
ed. Don't forget the big games
Saturday, Harrington at Clayton,
2:30; Sunday, Middletown at Clay
ton, 2:3O.
