O. The Clayton Club is not in tip
top form as yet but will be ready
for a hard tussel at Milford this
Sunday. The Milford Club was in
mid season form. Howard Killen,
Milford's speed ball artist, was in
rare form and was always strong
IN the pinches. He always had
more to offer when he was in a
hole. East started on the mound
for Clayton and did well for four
innings when he was relieved by
Sevil. Sevil was strong until the
ninth when he weakened and was
relieved by Betz. Morgan led the
hitting for Clayton with two bing-
les while Legates and Grier were
best for the winners. On Sunday
Favinger and Grace will form the
Clayton battery. Favinger will be
remembered as the ace twirler of
the Seaford club few years back.
Killen and Slater will be the bat
terry for the home club. Follow
