Clair Bruce Wins 1972 Lawrence County Open
Clair Bruce, New
Castle, Pa. hit the magic 80% ringer mark to win the annual Lawrence County
Open Tournament on August 27th. The tournament was held at the
Scotland Meadows Courts in New Castle, Pa. Ken Smith, East Liverpool, Ohio, one
of the fastest improving pitchers in the area went undefeated to win Class B
honors. Joe Mancini, New Castle, the local club secretary, captured Class C.
Class D was won by John Wilson, Sharon, Pa., a relative newcomer giving a good
account of himself. Another pitcher who showed a great deal of promise in his
very first tournament was fifteen-year-old Bill Aunkst of New Castle.
