1 9 1 T C I A R L A Timely hitting and star pitching overwhelmed Albright, 6 to 2. The errors were costly to the locals, while we played an errorless game. The last game of the season with Bethlehem Steel Company was of big league caliber. It was a splendid exhibition of the national pastime. Caskey was in rare form. The game was errorless, and infall ible Web starred. In the way of scoring there was nothing doing until in the ninth inning. From our point of view it was a grand success, leaving us victors, 3 to 2, for the last contest of the season. Why do we not have baseball this season? The prospects for the season of 1916 were brighter than any previous year. It cannot be for lack of material. It is true that we lost several varsity men last season; but, in quality, the promising material that came last fall far exceeds the loss. We have real big league caliber in our Freshman Class, to say nothing of the rare latent possibilities in our three upper classes. We have enough men to make two winning teams. Why not use them? The sentiment of the student body favors baseball and we earnestly hope that next season we may again have the American national pastime among our college sports.

1 9 1 T CIARLA BASEBALL SEASON 1915 I N OUR Freshman year the fourth intercollegiate sport was introduced, due to the urgent demands of the student body. We had abundant material for this sport; and the first year was a sweeping success. Since all but two of the last year’s varsity men were back, and there was plenty of promising material among the new candidates, we opened our season with prospects of waving our colors high and confident of taking many scalps. The Southern trip was realized. Five games were arranged for, the Spring training trip down South to Dixie covering the entire of Easter week. We played our first game in the South with West Virginia University. We got the jump on the home team in the first inning; but ragged fielding lost the game for us, 8 to 6. Our team was the only side with an earned run to its credit. The following day the sky cleared in time to permit a tussle with West Virginia Wesleyan. We opened up strongly in the eighth inning, making six runs; and the Wesleyans were downed, 6 to 2. For the first time in the history of the College we lined up against a big league team; and altho we were defeated, 6 to o, we had the satisfaction of giving the Baltimore Feds a good rub and were complimented for it. Fear caused St. Mary’s to cancel Friday’s game and we started for Gettysburg. A few small errors in the field lost the game, with a score of 6 to o. On April 17th our first home game resulted in the defeat of Lebanon Valley, by a score of 8 to 7. Up to the eighth inning everything looked rosy and promising to the visitors. Now, we treated the spectators to visions of an eighth-inning rally. Detling’s timely clout cleared the bases and won the game. On a raw and cold day, with the grounds in a poor condition, Lafayette swamped us, 17 to o. Despite a patched line-up, we showed improvement with Gettysburg, and again because of a few paltry errors we were blanked, 6 to o. Then, for kindness’ sake, we dropped a lopsided game to Lehigh, with a score of 12 to 2. In this game Caskey gave wonderful deliveries. Both the errors of com- mission and of omission were responsible for the victory of Albright to the melody of 15 to 3 ; while the West Virginian Wesleyans came and evened up the defeat in Virginia to the tune of 8 to 1. We had about enough reverses and would endure no more maltreating. When Seton Hall paid us a visit we opened battle and gave them a neck to neck race for thirteen innings and as a friendly reward presented the game to them, 9 to 5. On May 29th Seton Hall forgot all rights of the guest-friend and took another game from us on the terms of 5 to 4. Our next attempt at a seven-inning game resulted 4 to 2 in favor of Dickinson. This was no defeat for us, since we did not have recourse to the eighth-inning rally. 135
