His highest score of 34 came against Lancashire in the second innings of his debut in August 1920. This constituted exactly half of Worcestershire's paltry total of 68; the county lost by an innings inside two days having been routed by a career-best 7/34 from James Tyldesley.[1] Clare's only other first-class outing was against Surrey in June 1925; he hit 25 in the second innings.[2]
