JERRY MALONEY SEEMS DESTINED TO GO UP

Jerry Maloney, a former student at St Joseph college and a son of Thomas Maloney of Wheatfield, seems destined to go up the baseball ladder of fame, judged from his recent slab exhibitions as a member of the Boone Grove team. Maloney was a star performer on the pitching slab during his school days at St Joe. Although but fifteen years of age at that time he gave promise of developing into a high class hurler. He is twentytwo years of age now and with his added age and experience seems ripe for a trial in fast company. Maloney has worked in five games this season for Boone Grove and has a clean slate. The average number of hits he has permitted his opponents has been very low and his effectiveness has been instrumental in placing Boone -Grove very much on the base ball map. He has decisions over the following teams as follows: Wheatfield, 1 to 0; Valparaiso, -2 to 0, 16 innings; Wheeler, 5 to 2; Valparaiso, 5 to 4, and one other giume, the score of which we do not have at hand. Maloney made a trip last week with the Valparaiso University nine through Michigan. Rainy weather permitted the playing of but two games, Maloney working in one of them. He had an off day and was removed in the sixth inning. It was his initial defeat of the season. The high class brand of hurling he is dishing up is certain to attract the attention of the scouts and another season will no doubt find him in some strong minor league. 20 per cent reduction on all ladies’ suits, coats and silk dresses.
