pearance of this noted veteran in
the local lineup. Sevil, on the
mound for Clayton, pitched
great game for Clayton, allowing
6 hits in innings, being relieved

the second inning but went on to
pitch fine ball. After the game
the leg began to bother him and
on Monday had the leg exrayed at
the Kent General Hospital. The
picture showed no breaks but
slight sprain. He is expected in
uniform this coming weekend.
