Veteran regulars Phil Paris, Dave Trost, and Chick Uhlen formed the backbone of the club along with varsity holdovers Bill Wiley, Lee Edwards, and Hugh Laumeister. Paris proved a sure-fielding outer-garden tenant with a prolific bat and shotgun arm. Trost silenced many a bat with sizzling de- livery, while Uhlen handled Baron mounds- men with care and patience. Wiley and Lau-- meister formed the keystone combination, while Edwards patrolled the outer pasture. Rounding out the squad were hurlers Ralph Nelson, Pete Zonnevylle, Chuck Sand- way, and Gordon Hopps, catcher jim Zonne- vylle, and fielders Fred Trost, john Jessup, George Gulick, Barry Brown, Ed Neary, and Bob Miller.
