Locals Fall In Opener Before Large Washington Crowd
The Corry Club opened the season with a 7 to 2 loss to the Erie Railroad Club of New York City at Washington street diamond. Kennedy pitched well for the locals, but Halstead and Juffer limited Corry’s hitting as the visitors built a 5 run lead by the sixth inning. Pete Raymond led Corry with two singles and a double in three trips, while Ray Welton and others contributed in the field though the home club could not overcome miscues and cold batting early.
