CADUCEUS , 1 x BASEBALL BOB BRYAN When the call for ball players was sounded by Mr. Kirk, nearly one hundred boys responded. Of these only three were lettermen, namely, C. Dier- ing, Maguire, and Bryan. One by one the boys were chosen until a full squad was ready to enter the race for the public high championship. Among the new players are: innelders, Exler, Weber. Eisfelder, Endraske, Trommler. Elstermeyer, and Schloessman: outfielders, Meyer, Osterholt, Eckley, Fiedler: pitchers, Arant, Solberg, Florence, and White: catchers, Lamb and Diering: manager, Niemeier. This year the Public High League was divided into two divisions, the North and South. The North is composed of Blewett. Central, Soldan and Beaumont. In the South, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, and Southwest make up the four clubs. Each team plays opponents twice, the winner of each division playing a series for the City Championship. So far our team has five victories, two over Central by scores of 12-7 and 16-4, two over Soldan, 18-6 and 23-7, and one victory over Blewett 21-8. This record of five victories and no defeats gives Beaumont the North Side Championship and the right to play the South Side Champions for City Championship. The team this year was one of the strongest hitting teams Beaumont ever had, scoring 90 runs in five games. Ninely - nine

The new team was given a chance against Normandy, playing a great game and proving that they could take over the places of the six departing veterans.

Led by Art Saey's 13 points. Beaumont defeated McKinley 42-23. All members of the squad got a test in their first game of league play. A tight non-league game against S. S. Catholic at their court gave the team their first experience in playing against a new type of backboard, which hampered their offensive attack very much. With 10 points, Jack Maguire led the team to a 24-20 victory and was supported by the rest of the team in the scoring. The last game of league play was for the championship between Soldan and Beaumont. The game was very rough and exciting. each team having a close score. With the score 32-31 in favor of Soldan, Bob Ruhe made a free throw that put the game into overtime period. The scoring in this period was started by Jack Maguire and followed by Ed Moreland, who gave Beau- mont a 4-point lead. Soldan then came back and tied the game as the overtime period ended.. The next overtime period was to end when the first two points were made by either team. Although our team fought hard and tried courage- ously to win the championship for the school, the game ended with Soldan ahead by 2 points in a final score of 38-36. Jack Maguire led the Beaumont attack with 16 points. Three members of the team-Art Saey, Bob Enk, and Norman Weber-were ejected from the game, each having 4 fouls against him.
