oth Producing and Refining Company
here,, and Leebove headed the organization at the time he wae shot, Livingston having witharawn. Btien'ds

had been given a raw deal find Lee-
bove's friends- contented that he had
befriended and had given financial
assistance to the accused jnan.

to the ground Friday afternoon of last

three-quarters of an hour when Thomas White, who operates the Dover
Store, discovered smoke coming from
windows of the Raymond home at
3:00 p, m. -
The Clare Fire Department was
summoned, but was hampered in getting water and hy dense smoke in the
building and the fire was beyond control before they could get a water line
in play on the flataes.
The Dover Store was damaged by
repeated roof fires caused by flying
embers from the Raymond home and
only saved from destruction by firemen and volunteers of the neighborhood who were kept posted on the
roof of the, store to extinguish the
flames before they could -make much
headway.' Damage here; was confined
to the. r^c-of/£*,£& jpb3at^^e^,^"~rater«.

BEAVERTON WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP OF

DeMolay    Loses    Final    Game
Of   Second   Half   For
Fourth   Place
CLARE BASEBALL
TEAM VETERANS
OUT FOR SEASON
Seventeen Pioneer Letter Men
To   Answer * Call   For
Spring Practice
The Clare High -School 1950 baseball
team is loaded with veterans, as coach
Don Richardson lost only his son, Jim,
from the 1949 squad that won four
games and dropped Bix. In all, Richardson will Tiave 17 returning letter
winners "to work with) The only spot
where there is a definite lack of talent'
is in the outfield.
.Among the returning veterans is
Jack Brinkerhoff, an outfielder tyho
clouted the ball at a .416 clip last
year. He is expected to be shifted to*
first base to fill Jim Richardson's
shoes. Also fighting for the first base
assignment will be Bill Humphrey.
The second base slot will be filled
by either Dick Beard or Jerry Pulci-
fer. John Musser, one of the heavier
hitters in Glare's lineup last year, and
Earl Bellbw&i are shortstop candidates.
A pair of Don's, Don Wallace and Don
Urquhart will vie tor a starting role
at the hot corner.
There is a wealth of returning pitchers. Richardson has four capable
hurlers in Jim Joslin, Burk Rilett,
Lyle Haggaert, Bill DePuy, Joslin, a
southpaw, saw a good deal of action
last year, but had difficulty taming, his
wildness. ■>
Dick TJlrich will have a tough time
nudging last year's veteran backstop
Bob Beck from his spot behind the
plate, as -will Hollis Haggaert, ah outfielder who can slip into the catcher's
armour in emergencies.
Veteran outfielders are Bparse, as
Hollis Haggaert and Bill DePuy aro
the only experienced men for garden
duty, Richardson said he probably
will draft the excess infielders into fly
chasers.
The 1950 schedule has not been completed, but the Pioneers definitely, will
play Mt. Pleasant twice, Coleman,
Harrison, FarweU'and Gladwin. Richardson also is negotiating for a game
With Midland,
After winning the first half title in
the Central Michigan Independent
Basketball League by winning nine
straight games, Clare DeMolay wound
up in fourth place in the second half
when they 'were defeated 42 to 36 by
Beaverton in the final game of the
regular season on the latter's. floor
Thursday evening of last week. Bob
Tar-swell was high point man with 15
for Beaverton and Musolf led for DeMolay with 12.
The Play-Off
Beaverton, with the advantage of a
six- foot, two inch average height, compared with DeMolay's average of five
foot, ten inches per man, won the first
two gamfeB of a best two out of three
series at the Farwell High School
gym Monday and Wednesday evenings
-+*nd the 1950 league championship.
The two teams hattled on even
terms Monday evening until 30 seconds before the close of the first half,
with DeMolay fighting to maintain a
25-22 lead, when Beaverton popped in
three baskets to take the lead. The
six points proved to be the deciding
t factor of the game as DeMolay could
not get to going in the second half,
and Beaverton's Larry Talmadge and
Don Beal couldn't seem to miss, scoring 18 points apiece for game totals.
Wednesday evening the two teams
played again at Farwell, Beaverton
defeating DeMolay 66-48, with the locals playing on fairly even terms with
their opponents through the first three
quarters, but Beaverton put the game
on ice in the final quarter by a 23-12
scoring advantage. However, Beaverton led throughout the game, 15-12 at
the end of the first quarter, 25-19 at
the half and 43-36 at the *ree-quarter
mark.
Beaverton cashed in viiih 14 out of
20 free throws, while DeMolay connected with only eight out of 19. Bob
