At the start of the league season, only one full-time game had been played, that being an eight-inning battle with Bellarmine which ended in a 3-3 deadlock. The week before the batmen overwhelmed a weak Sumner team in five innings by a 14-1 score. Handicapped only in the pitching line, the Stadions had several backer-up men in each position. Harry Nygard was the only returning hurler, besides being the co-captain with Garry Hersey. According to the reported strength of the various Cross-State teams, Stadium was rated with Brem- erton and Bellingham, last year's winner, as one of the three top teams in the league. Besides Hersey and Nygard, the veteran strength of the squad was made up of Tom Baker, Ray Spalding, Walt Espeland, Wells Anderson, Milton Gust and George Hupe. At the time the Tahoma went to press the Batmen were leading the field in the city race with two victories and no losses to their credit. Bellarmine was the first to fall by an overwhelming score of 13-O. The following week Lincoln hit the dust to the tune of 14-1 after a blazing rally by the Stadions. Harry Nygard pitched his best game of the selson, fanning 13 Lynx. Walt Espe1and's homer in the seventh, with the bases loaded, highlighted the battle. The schedule was: April 11, Puyallup, here, April 19, Bremerton, there, April 23, Bellarmine, here, April 26, Bellingham, there, April 30, Lincoln, here, May 2, Clover Park, May 3, Seattle Prep, here, May 8, Puyallup, there, May 10, Everett, here, May 14, Lincoln, there, May 14, Bellarmine, there, May 16, Clover Park, May 17, Lincoln, there.

At the time The Tahoma went to ress one tournament had been scheduled that bein with Lake- . P . . 2 3 side of Seattle on March 29, but was cancelled because of wet conditions on the Fircrest golf course. According to Larry Martin, club president, the team gave great promise for the coming season.
