class and were defeated 14 to 2. Fargo College was decisively beaten 5 to 1. Then, after winning 6 straight games, the team journeyed up to Grand Forks, to be defeated by the U. of N. D., 5 to 4, the defeat being due to that accountable condition known in baseball as a general team slump. The trip was completed by the victory over St. John's at College- ville, Minn., where the pitching of Davies and the tremendous batting of the Mac boys resulted in the one-sided score of 18 to 1. On May 18, Macalester was forced to accept another defeat at the hands of North Dakota U, though the records show that we both out- Iielded and outbatted them, On May 24, Hamline was defeated again, 3 to 1, in a pretty contest. Carleton lost, 3 to 2, in an unsatisfactory game on the following day. Fargo College gave us its usual hard iight, but was defeated 7 to 65 this being the Congol team's fourth defeat at the hands of Macalester in two years. St. Olaf closed the season here, the home boys batting out a 10 to 4 victory. An analysis of the season's work shows that the championship was a merited one, as the Macalester aggregation was a more balanced team than that of the other state institutions. The team did not consist of a few individual stars, with mediocre players to 'tfill in,'i but was composed of men who showed by their work that they were up to the calibre of college baseball. The general fielding ability of the team was good, though it fell below the standard in a few of the games. One of the distinctive features of the season was the ability of the players to wield the willow, the rec- ords showing them to be far ahead of their opponents in this department. Of the pitchers, Schiek and Davies showed quality in the games they played and Stonebnrg was a valuable man both in the box and the outneld, although weak in his batting. The bulk of the pitching, however, fell to the veteran side-Wheeler, Ed. Carson, and the work of this player through- out the season places him at the top of an unusually strong corps of Minne- sota college pitchers. Third baseman Johnson was stronger than ever with the bat and con- tinually kept his teammates full of ginger. Anderson caught a sensational game as usual, and his great work with the stick together with his knowl- edge of baseball made him a potent factor in every game. Heed, who was switched from short to the initial sack, developed into a classy first base- man. Wallace did creditable work at second, and his ability as a sacrince hitter proved of great service to the team. Rochford at short was the most erratic man on the team, although it can also be said if him that he was the most brilliant fielder. Cardle put up a good game in left field, and Metcalf did good service in center, besides being included in the quartet of heavy hitters. The work of Fred Carson, who led the team in batting, approached the sensational. This player held down six different positions on the team, and whether in the outfield, the infield, or behind the bat, acquitted himself like a veteran. The coaching department, F, W. Plummer and Prof. Hall, succeeded in developing team work in its highest form and in instilling a Hghting spirit into all the members. The solid support of the student body was no small factor in deciding the games, their financial assistance, too, made it possible for Manager Ellison to complete a heavy schedule without any 128

pecuniary loss. It will not be amiss to give the second team the mention that they deserve. This team, composed of such players as Stuhr, Fisher, Guy John- son, Davies, Richardson, Ehlers, Jenckes, Noyes, and Smith, were as strong an aggregation as some of the first teams of the past. They defeated the Hamline second team twice, besides many of the Twin City high schools, and could be depended on to give the regulars as hard a contest as they wished. 1909 Ilasr-ball Record.
