Fast Plymouth Short Stop is Playing (With Central Assn. at Gailesburg. One of the best batters and speediest infielders which the Plymouth base ball team has ever had in its aggregation, has been lost in the person of Allen Sherer, who has played shortstop with the. Clippers during last year, and all of the present season Sherer left the local team to take a position with the Logansport city team. His fast inlfielding, and especially his good hitting, created a sensation in that city. The newspapers of that place, featured Sherer in the game, which he- played there. Immediately he was offered a berth in the Gailesburg 111., team whach is- a member of the Central Association, and he is now play ing . in that fast company. It appears that the Plymouth fans did ntf appreciate the flayer. which they had in Sherer. His hitting was always relied upon, to wmi out m tight games. Buys Buick Auto. D.
