BASEBALL FROM A POET'S STANDPOINT Bats, balls, to the diamond and play l..et's have a good practice on this hot day l..et's get in and work hard and make them say We have the best team they ever saw play. Get in the field as fast as yau may Stoltz you take a bat, and knock Hies to Kay Martin you pitch and short stop for you, Ray .The rest take positions you think you can play. After a week of this kind of play We thot we were ready for a game the next day So the next day with our things we journeyed away And that afternoon at three we began to play. When we took the field for the fray We had lots of pep as it was a very hot day But as the game proceeded on its way We soon saw that the opponents had a fast array. But nevertheless we were bound to make them say We were the best team they ever saw play And after the first few innings the score began to sway And we went on to victory without any delay. After the game on that very same day As we came home under the sky of gray We knew that everyone could do nothing but say We had the best team they ever saw play. KENNETH WOOLSEY Page Twenty-seven

BASEBALL The baseball team of '23 is developing into a smooth-running team with surprising rapidity. We have practically the same players as we had last year and that greatly increases efficiency and confidence in all of the players. The batting is steadily improving over that of last year. A great deal of interest is being displayed in the practice games and this is the greatest factor in a fast, hard-playing team. So far we have played but one game, that being with the Lodi High. The game was fast and exciting throughout. The most exciting point of the game was the squeeze play which was executed successfully by lone High. The game ended in a score of 2-4 in favor of Lodi.
