Guy Prater made his first appear

good appearance by grabbing two
hits for four times at bat and also Watts
making a few fancy catches in the Ware Shoals
outfield. Prater was with the Green- Clinton
ville Spinners the first part of the Riverdale 10
season but was dropped from the ros-
ter by voluntary retirement. Prater
is expected to go well in this league
and thus he may be the added spark
Clinton neds to put a halt to their
fast coming losing streak.

INVITED
Lydia Loses Games, Players
The Lydia Lions who were on the
top of the Mid-State league stand
ing lost two games this past week
to bring their average to twelve wins
and five losses.
In addition to the losing of the
games Lydia also lost -Chick" Liv
ingston, catcher and their number
one pitcher William Rowland. Row
land left Lydia after being offered
a higher salary by the Lancaster ball
! club.
In his first appearance with Lan
caster Rowland fanned eight Chester
men in six innings as he went in as
a relief hurler. Among his victims
was Willie Cranford whom Rowland
! used to play "back alley" ball with.
Rowland fanned Cranford twice
I just for old times sake.
With the leaving of Rowland Ly
dia is left with two good pitchers in
( Jimmy Houston and John Dies.
Joanna Pushed Into Cellar
The Joanna club was pushed fur
ther into the lower half of the King
Cotton league statistics when Ninety
Six took two games from them.
I “Boo" O'Shields played a good
game in the field for the Joanna-
men, in losing.
Tinsley showed the folks that it
isn't just the winning team that- can
hit.
Newberry Defeated By Greenwood
The Newberry American Legion
team was defeated by a score of
nine to three in a play off game held
in the Clinton Mill park as neutral
grounds.
Both teams showed power at the
plate before a crowd of approximate
ly 2.100 fans.
Which leaves us with a question
to ponder—-Why hasn’t Clinton an
American Legion team this year?
