FALTEERE,ING RED DEVILS DROP
ANOTHER DIAMOND TUSSEI,

Playin gtheir last home game
OF the baseball campaign the To-
cal Red Devils proved a disap-
pointment as they swallowed a
ID to licking at the hands OF q
visiting Clinton aggregation.
In the early part OF the con-
test the Red Devils seemed head
ed for their sixth win as they
held a So lead after three frames
of play only to hav the visitors
sweep back from behind to knot
things in the fourth and to tally
thrice more in the fifth to take
a never relinquished lead. The
,Taborites circled the diamond for
their first three markers in the
opening stanza punching a dou-
BILE by Junior Jordan two err
rors, and three fielders choices to
do the job. The only other Ia
Dor City score came in the de
or die ninth inning.
=. The locals uprising in the 9th
took place like this, as the first
lumber swinger, Drew Mills, drew
a free pass and Elton Fowler
tossed in a one-bagger as did
Humping Burmey Stevens send
ing Mills home with the final
tally of the game.
The Clinton troupe with a 6-3
lead at the end of the eighth
sewed things up in the top OF
the ninth with a merry-go-round
of hit batsman, wild pitches
walks and five bingals including
a triple by B. Robertson. Glen
Stevens worked the first eight,
stanzas for the Red Devils be-
fore Looping to the showers in
the eighth after a barrage OF
safeties. With none away Bur-
mey Steevns came in only to be-
greeted with a betting, but man
aged to finish the game.
Robinson went the distance for
the visitors keeping seven bits
we'll scattered. whiting II, and
walking none. Thumpig Burmey
Stevens lead the local batters
with two hits in five trips TO the
plate. Weeks, Corbitt and Hair,
each had two hits for the Clin-
ton aggregation with the latter's
collection including a double and
triple. The loss gave the Red
