Corry scores in a baseball upset over Union City as Merchants prep for Sherman. A columnist argues Corry lags in softball growth, cites few local fields, notes church league openers, and lists early 1936 Allegheny Valley golf events and association plans.
Three Corry players fueled Sherman’s 10-5 win over Mayville on opening day. Verne Group, Zinny Lander and Melvin Cobbett contributed at the plate. Group pitched the first third, with Parka and Johnson each covering a third. The Sher fin club faced little resistance, and Merchants signings were absent but expected Sunday when they host Corry’s Independents.
Corry Independents beat Union City's Athletics 9 to 6 in the season opener. Mountain led Corry with four hits including a double, Baressi added two hits and a double, Kinney doubled and tripled, while Gardner allowed 15 safeties but yielded only six runs. Union City’s Garner was the lone extra-base hitter, and Anderson left with a torn muscle.
Titusville Penn-Drakes beat Sharpsville A C Giants 11 to 1 on Saturday and lost to Akron Foundry 5 to 3 Sunday. Al Gostrallo hit a home run with Conrey and Haller adding two doubles each, while Cassett held Akron to two hits. Roy Hughes is noted as yesterday’s hero for Cleveland in a 15th inning triple against Detroit.
The Pittsburgh Pirates released pitcher Russell Bauers and outfielder Johnny Dirkshot, reducing the roster to 23 players. Bauers, noted for Wisconsin scholastic play, was sent to Scranton in the New York-Pennsylvania League, while Dirkshot, who joined via Little Rock in the Southern Association, heads to the Buffalo Internationals.

Barrett Melvin 18 year old Franklin High senior led the opening round of the Pittsburgh sectional qualifying trials for the National Open at Oakmont Country Club.
