The Barberton squad won I5 out of l8 games of regular season's play. setting a percentage of 790. Coach Maurer claimed this to be the highest percentage for a Barberton team in many years. The pace was set by George Galat and Bob Scott at bat and Ed Schembechler and Bob Marshall at the pitchers mound. Scott was rated third in the Akron area with his 418 batting average. The Magic's catcher, Hatty Naragon. also was rated among the best in the league. The team started the season with three consecutive shutouts. Norton, Akron East and Akron South were beaten 6 to 0. l to 0. and 3 to 0 respectively. Mansfield was the first team to score against Barberton but was defeated 3 to 2. The next game was the fourth shutout of the season. Barberton defeating Central 6 to 0. ln the next two games the Magics won over Mansfield 3 to l and Gar- field 5 to 1 to complete a winning streak of seven games. The eighth and ninth games were too much for the local squad, losing to Kenmore 4 to 3 and Buchtel 5 to 2. The Kenmore battle was lost in extra inning play. bringing the unbeaten Cardinals the nearest to defeat that they came all season. The team was forced to work for the next three wins, winning over the Falls, Buchtel and East by rather close scores of 2 to l, 6 to 4, and 8 to 6. Wadsworth's Grizzlies proved easy prey as Barberton trounced them in two games with scores of 3 to 0 and 13 to 4. The sixth shutout of the season came as South fell under the mighty Magics B to 0. Central lost to the local squad li to 3 to complete the second winning streak of seven games each. The next game was the one and only tragedy of the season. At one point in the game George Galat knocked a homerun with the bases loaded, putting Barberton in the lead. The last half of the same inning the opponents scored 15 runs. The final score was 19 to 7. The Magics partly atoned for their Garfield failure by defeating the Falls 8 to 0 in their fifteenth win of the season. seven of which were shutouts. In the district tournament the Magics lost their first game as Garfield won 8 to 3. G52 Cl Barberton Opponents S Norton , , 1 Akron East 3 Akron South 3 Mansfield ,...
