The Record Coach Jerry Chilton has again fielded a team capable of hold- ing its own with the best schools in the state. With lettermen back at almost every position, the Wolves have thus far gained five victories, two losses, one tie, one victory coming over the proud Mesa Jackrabbits. Upshaw and Montane have been alternating behind the plate. Beth have good arms, and have hit well. At first is Murchison, a big, tall player who is beginning to hit after a poor start. A- round the keystone sack are Marquez at second, and Lorena at short Lorena, only a sophomore, is the fielding gem of the infield. He has done beautiful fielding, and along with Marquez has pulled some fast double plays. At third base is Bivin, a small player who has been doing a fine job of handling the nhot cornern. The outfield is patrolled by Graham, Garcia, and Rome--all three hard hitters and with strong throwing arms. In the first game the Wolves traveled to Superior and handed the Panthers a 5-1 shellacking, Marin holding them scoreless u til the last inning. Graham collected two triples and two singles in four trips to the plate. In the next two games the Wolves lost to Florence, 8-O, and defeated Ray, 13-ll. The Casa Grande Cougars, last year Conference champions, in- vaded Hayden the next week confident of victory, but were sent back with a 4-4 tie. As usual, the Wolves came from behind and tied the game in the last of the seventh. Zarkness halted the hurling duel between Lagunas and Armenta at the ond of the tenth. Hayden traveled to Tempe next, and after being held scoreless for six innings, put in a rally which fell short by one run. Ro- mo's hitting and Lerona's fielding were the highlights of the game. Score: 4-5. The Mesa Jackrabbits on coming to Hayden were undefeated in four tilts, and were classed as favorites. After being held scoreless for four innings the Wolves blasted Davis from the mound with two homers, three singles, and a triple to score five runs and cinch the game 5-4. Coolidge, traveling to Hayden was soundly trouneed, ll-5,the next week, and the following Tuesday the tie with Casa Grande was played eff, resulting in the best game of the year. Until the last of the seventh Casa Grande seemed assured of a 3-l victory assured, that is, until Murchison pulled off the most thrilling play of the year by knocking a heme run with the bases loaded.
