 | Pierce Superb Against Galveston Sunday, April 29th , 1917 The San Antonio Caballeros shut out the Galveston Gulls, 8-0, behind the strong pitching of Clyde Pierce. Pierce surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 3. Following the last out, Pierce appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Galveston manager Levi Melton, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Pierce's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Gulls skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Caballeros press conference, Pierce confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Pierce said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," San Antonio manager Art Clapp added. |   |
