LYONS BASEBALLERS WIN AT ECHO LAKE'S CLAMBAKE

Every year the Echo Club of Clyde watches summer out and fall in with a big clam bake down the river below Clyde, and the members always invite their friends. This year it took five automobiles to take the Lyons guests down. The bake was a crackerjack, everybody says, but the real feature of the day was a ball game between Lyons and Clyde. Lyons won. Just how many innings were played and what the score was nobody can say, but everybody says Lyons won - that is everybody from Lyons. In Clyde no dought everybody thinks Clyde won. That would seem impossible, however, when one looks over the line-up of the Lyons ball team. Here it is:

Dan Mora, c; Henry Schreiber, lf; D.P. Chamberlain, p; Eugene J. Smith, 2b; William H. Mapes, ss; William H. Egan, cf; Jim McDermott, 3b; Ad. Calkins, rf; "Squeal" Young, 1b.

These regulars were in the first line trenches all through the three hours of battle. In reserve were Sheriff Valentine, Deputy Sheriff Jerry Collins, Private "Bling" Collins, U.S.A., and Karl Woehr.

Short Stop Mapes featured the game with his steady work in the field, and his home run created a near sensation. He hit the ball at the pitcher and it went through eight men, but he was around the diamond by that time.

John Hak, president of the Echo Club, master of ceremonies at the clambake, and chief of the Clyde Fire Department, added to his cares of life by undertaking to empire the game. The Post Office Department would bar this paper from the mails if we undertook to report one of a thousand of the "compliments" that was directed toward John.

BLAMES CROSSING FOR THREE DEATHS

Coroner George D. Winchell of Rose has filed his findings in the matter of the killing of Clarence Reed, William Connors and Margaret Ryan, in the town of Savannah September 5th, when the party was run down by a car on the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern.

The coroner exonerates Motorman Irvin A. Clark, saying that he used all means to prevent the accident, and was in no way to blame. The coroner also in his findings states that the crossing where the accident occurred, in his opinion, is the worst one between Rochester and Syracuse, and advises the railroad officials to place a signal at this crossing.

THE NEWS OF 50 AND 25 YEARS AGO

Interesting Items Found in The Lyons Republican of 1867 and 1892

50 Years Ago - September 26, 1867

Notwithstanding the destruction of Floral Hall, the officers of the Wayne County Agricultural Society are determined that there shall be a Wayne county fair this year; and have named the 11th and 12th of October as the time for holding the same. A spacious tent has been engaged as a substitute for the building and booths and tents will be erected for the accommodation of stock, implements, etc.

The social promenade under the auspices of the Brass Band was quite well attended and financially a success.

There was no session of the Lyons Union School yesterday, the teachers being in attendance at the Institute at Palmyra.

Mr. Parshall has christened his new building "Masonic Hall," in honor of the fraternity who are to occupy the upper story.

A strenuous effort and one that will probably be successful is being made to induce the Postmaster General to authorize the removal of the post office from its present inconvenient location to the corner room in Parshall's new block.

25 Years Ago - September 27, 1892

There will be a fair week dance this week Friday evening under the auspices of the Independent Hose Company.

The two new whistles, one at the Fisher Stoneware pottery and the other at the new stoneware pottery are shrill ones and give our village quite a business like sound.

Frederick Voelzer has the finest crop of onions in this vicinity. He has three thousand bushels on seven acres of land. You often hear about six hundred bushes to an acre, but it is not often any such quantity is realized.

An experience social will be given in the M.E. Church on Thursday evening of this week, under the auspices of the Women's Missionary Society. An interesting program is expected, commencing at eight o'clock.

Everybody attend the meeting at the Republican Club headquarters, Friday night. Senator Charles T. Saxton will be the speaker.

Lorenz D. Rodenbach has entered the University of Rochester.

Dr. Carmer, health officer of Lyons, says that there is no scarlet fever in this village.

Rev. Mr. Naylor, Miss Cassie Jameson, Miss Annie Painter and Miss Maud Penoyar are attending as delegates from the Lyons Baptist Sunday school, the Wayne County Sunday school convention at Wolcott.

Rev. Dr. Ostrander and Elder Geo. W. Getman are the delegates from the church in this village to the Presbytery of Lyons which meets in Red Creek today.

Nelson Nellis jr., received his long-expected appointment on the state committee force in New York last Tuesday evening and left at once for that city.

13 LYONS SALOONS CLOSE FOR GOOD TOMORROW NIGHT

Tomorrow will see the finish of thirteen Lyons saloons, leaving twelve to do business under the new law, which becomes effective October 1st. Saloons to go out of business here are these: American Hotel, Central Hotel, Fred Legge, Leonard Allen, J.A. Keesler, George Utter, William Witt, Ray Miller, Patsy Morandi, Willis G. Pierce, National Hotel, Christian Fusz and Biagio Nanno.

Things are apt to be a little lively around the farewell closing hour tomorrow night.

Re: "Letters of guardianship were issued to Gardner A. Munn of Newark on the person and property of Howard A. Coleman and Mary E. Coleman, infants, residing in the village of Newark, upon filing a bond of $9,000."
