1' f if 4 -. 9 BASEBALL Repeating their performance of 1936, the Leopard baseball team came through a hard regular schedule and a championship playoff series to win their second city base- ball championship in a row. The Leopards, coached by W. P. Durrett, led by Captain G. W. Chandler, and with a "never say die spirit," made the grade when the situation looked the darkest. The 1937 team was the hardest fighting and hardest hitting club to represent Adamson in many years. The moundstaff was composed of the three ace pitchers in the city, Lou "Lefty" Goldman, Woodrow "Chuck" Hunt, and E. Averea. Ray Niblo, catcherg Doug Rawlins, first baseg George Phillips, second baseg Captain G. W. Chandler, short stopg and George Patterson, third baseg hustlers to the last man, made up an infield that could not be beaten. The big bats of Elmer Durrett, Pete Layden, and W. L. Patrick, outfielders, played a prominent part in bringing the city championship to Adamson. As the Oak goes to press the Leopards are favored in the State playoff. Page Om: Hundred Twenty-Eight
