BASEBALL As soon as the Basketball Season was over and the Championship safely tucked away the baseball men started Working out in the gym in preparation for another championship this year. After Spring Vacation the squad took advantage of the good weather and commenced operations on Davis Field. The prospects for this year are such that every Alma fan will be greatly dis- appointed if the NI. I. A. A. isn't completely vanquished. With Bert Bouwman, the best college hurler in the state in the box and with a number of veterans to back him up in the held and also with the stick, the taslc of winning the Baseball Championship should not be very diflicult. Without doubt Ypsi Normal has one of the best teams in the history of the school but already the Maroon and Cream have demonstrated their superiority over the Teachers by handing them a 6-5 trimming on the Ypsi diamond. ' . Reserve material means much to a team, particularly in the box where things dovnot always go as they should. Bouwman has several capable understudies in MacDonald, R. Catherrnan and Beauchamp. In Carty Alma boasts one of the best receivers in the Association, while Treadwfay is always ready to step behind the plate if it is necessary. The infield is composed of Hunter at third, VVelhoelter at short, Wright at second, and lVIacDonald at first. In the garden the left portion is taken care of by H. Catherman, Shaver patrols the center, while Treadway cavorts around the right field area. , ' Alma has succeeded in capturing two baseball championships in the last three campaigns .and with a reasonable share of the breaks iirher favor should grab another title this year. -J.
