ZURICH WINS HERE Zurich baseball nine defeated Clin- ton on its very own diamond on Thursday evening in a Huron -"Perth league scheduled game by a sub- stantial margin of four runs in a 6-2 score. Welsh packs a wicked ball and the local batters found him a bit difficult, though getting some pretty hits. Stock, though putting less punch in his pitch, put more across the plate thah his opponent but the Zurich nine proved their superiority in batting. There were two bad spots in the game, one being a wild pitch from Welsh which caught Hawkins just under the ribs, giving him a mighty. uncomfortable feeling for a few min- ines. Welsh got a hot one in the groin off "Punch" McEwen's bat, which doubled him up in agony. Both players continued in the game but Hovey took Hawkins' place on the diamond. There was more wild throwing dur. ing the game than would suffice for a half dozen games. Pickett has a pretty good reach but he would need to be on stilts to grab some of the high pegs intended for first base. On the hole it was not a good game from the spectators' standpoint. The locals have played better ball' and will do so again. The Zurich nine won their victory fairly, but have very little over the locals, ex. cept at the bat. Zurich --Prang, If; E.
