1+eHtiBLUEendG0LD T I if Ilamehall LTI-IOUGI-I West Seattle had a practically green team, up to this time of writing, they have made the rest of the league sit up and take notice. This season started off well, 94 men reporting, many of them Sophomores and Juniors. The only drawback was the lack of experienced material. The team this year was built around the battery of Gourlay and Janni. The other seasoned regulars were Pasche, a catcher: Beatteay, an outfielder: and Badcon, who played an outfield position or a pitching position equally well. Coach Older, who began his first year at major sport coaching, turned out a team hard on pitchers. Most of the team hitting well over 300. In the first game of the season the Indians hit Teddy Miles, a veteran pitcher, out of the box in the second inning. The Indian infield, however, got ragged, and West Seattle had hard sledding towards the end of the game. The final score being 8-7. The next victims fell easy, losing 8 to 4. The Indians got busy with the stick early in the game and drove two pitchers out of the box. In the third game the Indians drowned Queen Anne, who had previously not lost a game. The fourth game did not taste well to the Redskins. They lost, 6-4. It was partly due to poor fielding and partly to errors on the part of the umpire, Just before this writing, West Seattle succeeded in beating the team from Cleveland, 4 to 3. As it is early in the season and some difficult games are yet to be played, it is difficult to forsee the outcome, 41943,
