Anaheim Defeats Ponies to Annex League Pennant
San Bernardino Beaten In Final Game on City Park Diamond
Anaheim's Valencias last night won the championship of the National Nightball league by defeating San Bernardino, 2 to 0. Last night's victory was the fourth in the series for Anaheim, with the Ponies able to win but one fray.
The Valencias drove to the championship behind the superb pitching of Manager Clair "String" McDonnell, who hurled seven of the eight victories won by Anaheim in the Shaughnessy series with Huntington Beach and San Bernardino. Not once was either team able to top Anaheim while McDonnell was on the mound.
The payoff came last night in the fourth inning after the Valencias had been almost helpless before the southpaw slants of Bob Fowler.
Single in Fourth
Floyd Montgomery opened the round with a bunt in front of the plate which he beat out. Kelly's low throw eluded Bill Sweet and Montgomery went on to second. George Preble laid down a bunt for a sacrifice and Randy Bell

E.B. Merritt Is Called by Death At Home Friday
Former Clerk Served City For 32 Years; Rites Are Held Monday
Death last Friday morning called one of Anaheim's most widely known men when Edward Bowne Merritt passed away at his home 121 S. Philadelphia street, following a brief illness. Had he lived until October 31 Merritt would have been 86 years of age.
Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon from Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel for the man who for 32 years was city clerk of Anaheim. Private interment in the family plot at Woodlawn cemetery in Santa Monica followed cremation.
Although in failing health for the past five or six years Merritt was quite hearty until recently. Nearly every day he was seen walking the streets of the downtown business area where he gave a friendly greeting to his many friends and acquaintences.
Born in Baltimore
Merritt was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but lived in Chicago for some years before coming to Anaheim in 1893. He and his family resided at the old Hotel
McDonnell was on the mound.
The payoff came last night in the fourth inning after the Valencias had been almost helpless before the southpaw slants of Bob Fowler.
Single in Fourth
Floyd Montgomery opened the round with a bunt in front of the plate which he beat out. Kelly's lew throw eluded Bill Sweet and Montgomery went on to second. George Preble laid down a bunt for a sacrifice and Randy Bell came through with a bounce hit to second to score Montgomery. Leavitt Daley's infield out moved Bell to second from where he scored when Mal Higgins singled over third base.
That was all of the Valencias' scoring although they threatened again in the fifth when they loaded the bases with only one away. Preble whiffed, however, and Bell grounded out, Strain to Sweet.
McDonnell was never in serious trouble until the eighth canto, but found himself in a jam in that inning. Weiser and Schletzer both singled. Kelley forced Weiser at third when he drove a liner back to McDonnell. Shattux lofted to Wiseman, but Sweet drew a base on balls to load the sacks. Ed Daley crashed a scorcher to his brother, Leavitt, at shortstop and the latter made a great catch to retire the side.
Good Support
Anaheim gave McDonnell sterling support with Cliff Edmundson, Daley and Bell coming up with spectacular catches at various stages of the contest.
Both teams were credited with seven hits, but the Ponies had three errors charged against them to one for Anaheim. Weiser, Schletzer and E. Daley each got two blows for the losers while Higgins hit safely twice for the Valencias.
Finishing third at the close of the regular season, Anaheim captured the championship by beating Huntington Beach in the odd game of the first seven-game series and then conquering San Bernardino four games to one. The Ponies eliminated Santa Ana in the semifinal round of the Shaughnessy play-offs.

Roll Call Plans
Heads of Organizations of City Pledge Support During Campaign
Preliminary work is now under way pointing toward the start of the annual drive for memberships in the Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross. Merle Strand is to direct the campaign this year as chairman of the roll call committee.
Tentative plans were outlined last Friday evening in the council chambers at the city hall when heads of most of the service clubs and other civic organizations met with the executive board of the Anaheim chapter.
Alfred Higgins cf Orange, chairman of the Orange county council, Mrs. Laura Warren, executive secretary of the county council, and Strand were the principal speakers of the meeting.
Need Many Members
Higgins told of the magnitude of the Red Cross, stressing the relationship between the local chapters and the national organization. It is necessary to obtain the largest membership possible in order to carry on the work of the chapter, he declared. Higgins expressed confidence that the quota of 1600 memberships for this chapter will be easily reached.
Mrs. Warren spoke on the accomplishments of the Anaheim chapter, discussing in particular the disaster relief response, junior Red Cross, first aid classes, life saving classes and the program of nutrition of school children, home and farm accident preventions and home service.
Council to Assist
Strand reported on last year's roll call when the chapter quota was 800 memberships. He announced that the Parent-Teachers association council will again take an active part in obtaining members for the Anaheim chapter.
Full cooperation of the Ministerial union was promised by the Rev. Thomas H. Walker, president of the organization. "I know that if the message of the national Red Cross is delivered to all adults of Anaheim that the membership quota will be reached," Rev. Walker said.
Richard E. Ziegler, special roll call worker, will be in Orange county next week to visit the Although in failing health for the past five or six years Merritt was quite hearty until recently. Nearly every day he was seen walking the streets of downtown business area where he gave a friendly greeting to his many friends and acquaintences.
Born in Baltimore
Merritt was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but lived in Chicago for some years before coming to Anaheim in 1893. He and his family resided at the old Hotel Del Campo while the family home on South Philadelphia was being constructed.
The veteran city official is credited with bringing one of the first fruit graders to Anaheim. He had been in the fruit buying business in Chicago and entered the same line of work after making his home here. He also was in the furniture business for some time in Anaheim.
Merritt first sought public office in 1898 when he opposed the late Max Nebelung who was seeking re-election as city clerk. Nebelung was victorious in that contest, but two years later Merritt again opposed him and was victorious. The margin of victory was one vote.
In 1900 Merritt started his 32 years of service to the city of Anaheim. He early established the reputation of being accruate and correct.
The clerk withstood considerable opposition during elections for his first few terms, but in later years he was virtually never given anything but a complimentary vote as no candidates filed against him.
On May 10, 1932, Merritt resigned from the clerkship after having defeated many candidates in the election held in April. Old age and declining health forced him to give up the duties he enjoyed. City Manager John W. Price was appointed his successor.
Since his retirement city employees have each year remembered him on his birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Merritt preceded the veteran city official in death on January 28, 1935. A son had passed away some time before. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Eva Merritt who resided with her father here; a son, Edward Merritt of Garden Grove, two grandchildren; a brother, Charles T.
