Clarence Lester "Dude" Lytle (December 22, 1879 - March 4, 1937) was an American baseball pitcher in the pre-Negro leagues. He played from 1901[3] to 1911 with various teams. He played mostly with the Chicago Union Giants.
In 1907, Lytle signed with the new St. Paul Colored Gophers team. Later that year, a 1907 St. Paul newspaper paper noted that Lytle and fellow St. Paul Colored Gophers pitcher Johnny Davis both had No-hitter games to their credit.[2]
Lytle died in Chicago, Illinois, on March 4, 1937, at the age of 57.
