nl C. H. S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I but judging from the times he did we can say he must certainly have the genuine article. Berry, in center field, played a consistent game both at fielding and batting. He is a Soph. this year, so another garden is taken care of for a couple of seasons. Parkins, right field, played a brilliant game this season and will do likewise for two years more. Routson was uscd at second or short and filled either very efficiently. Ted is with C. H. S. for three years more. Nelson, utility, can fill almost any position, playing a good brand of ball any place. Shorty is ready to play for two years more. Downs, utility, was used in quite a few positions, playing a stellar game in all of them. He is in school for two years yet. D. Murphy, utility, proved a star in the different places he played this year. He will undoubtedly show up good on next season's squad. RESULTS OF FALL BASE BALL September 21, 1917.

Baseball seemed the most likely substitute for track work and consequently the practice was started at once. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown and a series of games was arranged with Cuba, the first of which took place on April 5, 1918. This game, played before a crowd of about twenty-five, who in the main watched the game from the warm interior of closed cars, resulted in a victory for Canton, the score being 3 to 2. At the time this writeup goes to press the team is anticipating a return game on the Cuba grounds. S -,I III III 113 IIZII ---.., a I
