' Baseball Vlfhen Coach Mclntosh issued hrst call for baseball candidates this spring a very large number reported and among these were several veterans, including, V. Evans, K. Lally, R. Kane, L. Smith, F. Gibbons, C. Cook, and W. Roberts. The team showed great interest and worked faithfully regardless of the uhard luckw which they encountered. The local mentor found a serious problem confronting him when he attempted to uncover a pitcher. MStuie', Martin, 'Nicki' Gibbons and HEd,, Kane each tried their turn Mon the mound, but each lacked a quality in becoming a success- ful twirler. Hamilton, Clinton and New Hartford had teams that were considered good, and Wlaterville faced these teams bravely and did its best. The season cannot be considered entirely successful but the boys made excellent individual showings and we sincerely hope for better luck next season. The members of the team who com- plete their high school baseball careers through graduating or league rules are: G. Eusek, K. Lally, R. Kane, V. Evans, NV. Roberts, C. Cook, and l.. Smith. K. T. L. Hubbardsville Dance Hall Manager: uNow boys, get out. No ruff necks around heref, Freddy Byrnes and the Junior Boys: 'AAU Sayl YVe've been thrown out of lots bigger places than thisfi
