IEIIEIHIIHIEFIIEIEIIIEIEIIIEIHQE THE KITE IMIEIEIIEIVI-YUIIEJIHIIEIIEIIIEJIHFE Spring Sports Although Alva Neal high hasn't been so active in spring sports for the last few years, a greater interest was in evidence when the baseball season rolled round. ' Baseball occupied the lime-light after King Basketball relinquished his reign. For the first time in eight years, Franklin high school had an organized baseball club. The last one was under the supervision of Griz Wagner of Wonder Five fame. J. R. Moore, physical education instructor, took charge of baseball and made a very creditable showing udth the boys. Following is the schedule played: April 18 .......................................... Masonic Home ....,.... ......... H ere April 25 ....,....................................... Columbus ........ ......... H ere May 2 .......... ,......... G reenwood ...,.. ....... T here May 6 .......... ......... ll Iasonic Home ........ ....... T here May 9 .,...... ........ C olumbus ........ ....,.. T here May 16 ......... .,.,.... G reenwood ..... ......... H ere May 23 ......... ......,. S helbyville ...... ....... T here May 28 ......,..................................... Shelbyville .............. All home games started at 3:30 and were played on the diamond in Pioneer Park. On account of the lack of time, games were limited to seven innings. Since the greater part of the team were underclassmen, prospects look bright for next year. , Some of the other sports were archery, horseshoes, tennis, and volley ball. Although the school was well represented in these, they didn't command the interest that baseball did. ' All in all, a great improvement has been evident in this spring's activities, and Mr. Moore deserves much credit for the time and labor he spent in furthering these impor- tant phases of athletics. il l930I11EI'El
