1935 Brantford Junior Alerts Inter-County Champions

2007 Honouree Team, Baseball

On August 6, the 1935 Alerts claimed division leadership of their Inter-County group by beating out the Galt Robin Hoods. The game was described as a fast and well-played game of baseball.

The team also played a few benefit games for various causes such as honouring the recently departed athlete Fred Corke. Harry Tune pitched a good game and Louis Smith was the star hitter of the night, scoring every time he was up! The Alerts claimed the Inter-County championships three years in a row by defeating Ingersoll in the ninth inning, setting a local record.

On September 5, the Alerts headed to Windsor to battle the Titans which was the first game of the three game Ontario Baseball Amateur Association (OBAA) series. Windsor was defeated by a landslide. Attendees noted to the local paper that they were disappointed by the one sided game.
