BASEBALL In the spring of 1950, the Strathmore Spartans baseball club was organized. Since that was the first year of base- ball for Strathmore in many years, the players have not had too good a baseball club for the last two seasons, but as the years pass the team will grow stronger and mightier. One of the most exciting games this year was with Avenal. The score was 0-0, until the 13th inning. The next pitch was hit hard into left field for a three-base hit. The next batter bunted down the first base line and the game ended with the score 1-0 in favor of Avenal. That's the kind of game any- one hates to lose. Another exciting game was with Lindsay. One of the best hitters on the Lindsay tcam was Bill Wed- dell, who hit one deep into left field over Ronald Going's head, making a three-base hit and knocking in one run. In the 4th inning Strathmore rallied up 2 runs to tie the score 2-2. Then Lindsay tanked up one more run to end the game 3-2. Speaking of exciting games, how about the game be- tween Woodlake and Strathmore? At the 5th inning the score was 6-0 in favor of Woodlake. But in the 6th inning Strathmore rallied up 6 runs to tie the score. But as usual, Strathmore got over-anxious and lost 7-6. The game with Orosi wasn't too exciting. It was the opening game and with only one week's practice. no one expected much. final score was I3-2 in favor of Orosi. The next game was about the worst game they have ever The played. In the 7th inning Roy Britt got a home run. The final score was 6-l in favor of Dinuba. The players were Lloyd Thetford, Gene Burgdorf, Roy Britt, Wimpy Roberson, Welch Hudson, Ioe Wallace, Ierry Nanamura, Tommy Hirabayashi, Ronald Goings, Oscar Gower, Don Carlson, Roy Murdock, Bill Murdock, Harold Stein, Ray Foster, Dickie Reed. Strathmore had a new coach this year, Cecil Harris, a graduate of Fresno State College. We, the students of Strathmore High School, wish him the best of luck in the future years at S. U. H. S. -by Roy Britt Page 4-I The Spartan batter stands up straight: His eyes are on the ball: The pitch is good: his aim is sure And he hits it to the wall. Away he races for the bag, The fans all cheer and shout: They know full well. as he does. too, He must not be put out. X' Above, lst basemen, L to R-Welch Hudso Bill Murdock. Catchers.
