In the Grst place, T St.'John's, although victor in but half the games, defeated nearly all her stronger rivals. Tucker and Lowe started the season as the main pitchers of the squad. However, Loweys arm went before he could show 'ii 'l::':'l ' ' T his ability, and upon Tucker then fell most of the work of the season. This sturdy pitcher again defeated Maryland State College twice, and for the first time in eight years, due mainly to his superb pitch- ing, St. John's was able to defeat johns Hopkins University. In the annual game with the U. S. Naval Academy, Lowe, although his arm was still in bad condition, held the strong Navy hitters scoreless with the exception of one inning. Freeny, Jarman, Heise and Lowman formed a stonewall inheld. They did not have to bow to any inlield in the State. All of them played faultlessly in the field and were among the strongest hitters of the State. The outheld must not be overlooked. Stromeyer, Polk and Elzey formed a trio hard to beat. They were constantly on the alert and helped St. John's win more than once. Lastly, but not least, St. john's was blessed in having a good catcher. Most of Maryland's Col- lege teams have good iniielcls, but good catchers are few and far between. Bur- gess, by his untiring work and cheerful disposition back of the plate, did as much if not more than any other man to glorify St. john's. The utility jobs were cred- itably filled by lfVeaver, Hartsock, McComas and Noble. St. john's cannot give too much credit to our coach, John N. VVilson, for his untiring work in the devel- opment and betterment of the team. In conclusion, we may say again that our season was successful and that it promised much for the future season. 205

ST. JOHN'S, 23 ROCK HILL, 1 In the initial game of the season St. ,Iohn's won from Rock Hill at Ellicott City. The game was closely contested throughout and there was no scoring until the sixth inning. Both Schmidiger, of Rock Hill, and Tucker, of St. John's, pitched superb hall, each allowing few hits. MOUNT ST. MARY'S, 155 ST. JOHN'S, 14 Mount St. Mary's won from St. john's at Annapolis in a closely contested game by the score of iifteen to fourteen. lfrrors were numerous and the fact that it was early in the season could easily be realized. Rice's batting featured for the Mountaineers, while Freeny's home run in the Iirst inning and Tucker's batting throughout the game were the bright spots for St. John's. - A ST. JOHN'S, 83 GALLAUDET, 3 St. john's defeated Gallaudet in a well played game at Washington by the score of eight to three. The Gallaudet pitchers were wild, giving nine free passes to Hrst. Tucker, of St. john's, allowed Gallaudet but six hits. The hitting and fielding of Freeny and Jarman for St. -Iohn's featured the game. ' MOUNT ST. JOSEPI-PS, 45 ST. JOHN'S, 3 St. john's met defeat at the hands of Mount St. Joseplfs in a good game .at Annapolis. Lowe started pitching for St. j'ohn's and allowed but one hit in live innings, when he was forced to leave the game on account of a sore arm. Tucker succeeded him and pitched good ball, but received poor support. The batting and fielding of Nolan featured for the Josephites, while the fielding of Freeny, Heise and Jarman did credit to St. john's. ST. JOHN'S, 145 MARYLAND STATE, 4 St. John's won from her old rival in a loosely-played game at College Park, the score being I4-4. Tucker pitched for St. john's and held the Farmers at his mercy throughout, allowing only six hits. The State pitchers were wild, and walked eight men. Knode's lielding featured for State, while the batting of Freeny and Tucker did likewise for St. John's. 1150 915051505159 515i E15 0515 0 E15 4 51505150 9195156154 +?154?15051'5'?150515 0?15'4?150?154515 615 0 ?15 OE? 0 51 49l5991505i50515 3 ,, 215+ r fi. .. ,,. iii i - if -- I ' h.: 71? cf f' ' 'Q' 1 - -. -6 - 1 '- -- ' ' ii 1 ,. 1. 1 'S '- P' 1. .
