' . 4 y 1 The North Kansas City High School Baseball team had a very successful 4 season in 1923, due to the able instruction of Coach Clark and the hard work 1 1 1 p ll of the boys. Much to the delight of the Student Body, our old rival, Country 1 , 1 Da , of Kansas Cit , was defeated in two ames, the first score being 7 to 3, and , Y Y g s 1 1 the last one 16 to 6. The pitching of McCall and the heavy stick work of the l . 1 local bo s were the features of both ames. The onl team who succeeded in l 1 Y g Y 1 sto Jin the bo s was the La Salle Academ 1, State Chain ions in 1922, who won ' y PI g Y Y P ' a well played game 7 to 3. 1 1 1 ,: ' Q1 , I Schroeder, better known as jack Keefe, played first base and was the most 1, 1 p consistent player on the infield.
