Ard Eres SSS SSS LEWIS WRIGHT Athletics at the Madera high have been an important factor in our school life dur- ing the last term. Owing to the number of teams put into the field more students have had a chance to enter the field of sports and consequently more have taken an interest, as has been shown by the sup- port given at all the games. The superintendence of our athletics has undergone an important change this year. New students have come to the head of affairs with new ideas and plans which give a stimulus to the whole. The faculty exercises from the teanrs for poor work or low re- cords in school, but aside from that power, which has been used very sparingly, and tends to keep up a higher standard, the students control their own athletic activ- ities. One of the results of our new start is our rooting section. Under the leadership of Merritt Patterson and Leslie Conley the rooters have gained no small reputation, and in games of very close score have been instrumental in pulling the home team over the rough places with the heavy end of the score. At the beginning of the year the framing of the new constitution hindered our get- ting games as quickly as we might have, there being no executive authority to auth- orize the games, but as soon as the con- stitution was adopted things went on very smoothly. All the athletics in the school were organized under three athletic as- sociations, the Boys’ Athletic Association which controlled all the athletics for boys, the Girls’ Athletic Association which con- trolled all the athletics of the girls, and the Tennis Association which looked after the tennis interests of the school. the right to remove any student BASEBALL Baseball was taken up in the,early part of the term and after a few practice and tryout games with the grammar school and other picked teams, in which we worm without much trouble, the regular team was picked by Cap. High. While every one felt that we were a fast team, luck was certainly against us. Our fielding was top- notch and we had one of the fastest infields. in the valley, without exception, but we just had a streak of hard luck at first, losing three games before we started our record breaking career for Madera high. On Oct. 18th we journeyed to Merced for a game with the team of that town, It was the first game for our pitcher, Will Ring, and he was not up to his usual style of By the fourth round Merced had In the fifth Cap. High round twirling. piled up five runs. went into the box, but in his initial four runs were made. It ceriainly looked like ‘‘the tall grass for us.”’ After his first inning, however, Cap. steadied down and only one more run was made during the rest of the game off his delivery. We start- ed a fine batting rally in the ninth, that in an ordinary game would have turned the tables, but it was too late. The game endea in a score of 10 to 6 for Merced. Runs, 6; hits, 6; errors, 7, MERCED VS. MADERA On Oct. 29th the return game with Mer- ced was played on our own diamond. This game was much more closely contested and was anybody’s game until the last out was made. We had put in two weeks of good practice and had every confidence of turning the tables on our northern friends —pbut somebody slipped something in our tea-cup. The game was called at 1:30 sharp. When our rooting section had wound itself up to its highest pitch in its endeavor to put to shame all other noises in the vicinity, our boys started out upon the diamond and the game was started in a first class fashion. Cap. High was careless
