Engle Retains Van Buren Warm Up Title
The initial sponsorship
of the Van Buren Spring Warm-up Tournament by the Van Buren Men’s Club of
Vanport, Pa. was a rousing success.
Although classes A and B had to be delayed one week by rain, no other
difficulties were experienced.
The class A championship was successfully defended by Oscar
Engle of Pittsburgh, Pa., who won all his games with an average ringer
percentage of 77.5%. Clyde Martz of
Pittsburgh ran a close second, losing only to the defending champion.
A fine turnout enjoyed the tournament. The spectators watched pitchers perform from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Maryland, and West Virginia.
