1 r 'T On March 17, Flintridge lost a home game to Spanish-American, by an ugly 8 to 3. A home run by Munroe fnow playing third base in place of Kellogg who had ruined a thumbl cmd the usual farcical fielding were the trade-marks of this game. The hitting was considerably improved over other games, but, unfortunately, the improvement could only be produced in spots. Besides Munroe, Detoy and Streander were the honored ones to make a tour of the bases. A double header on March 22, at Long Beach, found Flintridge winning a game from Southern California Military Academy, and then dropping one to Saint Anthony. ln the first game, against S.C.M.A., the score, 9-6, indicates that our men from Stoney Gulch had at last found themselves. Munroe made the circuit trip in the first inning by virtue of a lusty three-base wallop, and Mitchum obliged in the second. ln the fourth inning, Iorgenson, Robbins, Eliel and Mitchum bludgeoned their way to four runs, and from then on the game was put away . Smith in the sixth, and Eliel and Earl in the seventh innings, blazed away to make the best score of the season for Flintridge. ln the second contest of the double header, St. Anthony proved a bit too strong in the fielding department, and so won, 10-5. In this series, in which he pitched all the way, Bob Hampton proved that he was just as good after fourteen innings as after four. Hampton, Robbins, Mitchum, Munroe, and Eliel came through with runs, but our somnolent fielders suffered from their chronic affliction, rigor mortis. A trip to Culver City, on the 26th of March, turned out to be most fruit- less. It was a job for a McCormick reaper, and not a baseball team. Greeted by a weedy field and an extreme scarcity of players, Flintridge finally left, and the game was chalked up as a forfeit in our favor. It is here that our record becomes a bit wet. It was a rainy Friday when the last game was played Qironically enough, against Dewey Schooll, but we see from the water-logged book so faithfully kept by Manager Allen, that the score fell in favor of the opposition: Dewey, 8, Boulder Haven, 6. In spite of a strong under-tow, and combers around home plate, both teams stuck it out at Brookside Park in a contest which soon took on the complexion of a water- polo match. Home runs by Munroe, Streander, and Eliel Che batted 1.000 per cent for the gamel failed to get enough runs. One unfortunate from the ranks of the enemy stopped treading water for one awful minute, and he was carried, gurgling, away down stream by the tawny current. . 48

asellall The starting game of the baseball season, on February 28, against Oneonta, was scheduled to be a warm-up, but Flintridge found it needed to become over-heated before squeezing out a victory, 3-l, The main purpose of the game was to select the team, and when the dust of battle had settled, there was Streander sate at second, and Kellogg huggin' third. Also, Robbins at first base fit seems that Robbins sometimes had to sit up with a sick friend, so either Smith or Detoy took over in his absencej, Eliel at shortstop, and Mitchum, Munroe Iorgenson, Miller and Moller were scattered decoratively about the outer park. Hampton and the loquacious Earl took over the bat'- tery, and it was not found necessary to make a replacement in this quarter all season. After the mighty midgets of Oneonta had been dealt with, the Flintridge squad dug sleep from their eyes early on Saturday, March 8, and motored over to Harvard to lose by a score of 6-3, You will be pleased to know that the game was not lost until Flintridge had made one of its famous last-ditch struggles, Although we got the bases loaded several times, and managed to knock several Harvard pitchers to wherever bad pitchers go, Harvard clung tenaciously and effectively to an early lead, and not even Ben Earl, whose sturdy knees stopped more than one run, could change the outcome. 47
