The Bethel Braves took the field again this spring in a number of night baseball contests with the other schools from the XY est Central League. The Braves missed the pitching talents of Danny McGraw, who had sparked them throughout the I955 baseball season. Coach jack justice called on Dave john- son, Carl Laslie and Kirk Bardwell to handle the pitching chores for the Braves nine. ln the 1955 season, the Braves managed to nail down a second place spot in the WCL as they won 9 out of 12 games. In league play they won 7 out of 8. The only league team the Braves lost to was Peninsula, who went on to win the championship. '
