first practice on the past Sunday.
The cold weather was a great
handicap but despite this a good
turnout was on hand. A seven
inning practice tilt with Leipsic
CCC resulted in a 1 to I tie. The
pitching of Palmer and Ken East
stood out for Clayton. Clayton
will open their season next Sunday,
meeting the strong Sudlersville
nine. Sudlersville has reported a
fast club and should give the local
club a hard tussel. Ken East, Hill
yard, and Bill Palmer are expected
to draw the pitching assignments
with Grace on the receiving end.
The infield is expected to lineup
with Mag, Wilkinson, Messimer
and Newman The outfield will
start with Hurley, Coleman and
Bailey. Substitutions will be made
to give the remaining members of
the club a chance. On Sunday,
