With all hopes of a title game gone, the Tigers finished up by beating Fallon, and then losing a close decision to Duiiy in Niagara Falls. In summing up the season Mr. Palano the coach hit the nail on the head when he said of the season, It was rather disappointing to have so many men back from a championship team and then through basic mistakes to see them let the championship slip through their fingers? That was about the story in a nut shell. The team was well experienced, well balanced except for depth in the pitch- ing staii' and yet in crucial games when a hit or a routine play was needed it was not delivered. Success is built on fundamentals and where the fundamentals fail to hold their ground the whole structure will fall. A word of praise must go to some who at times shone like stars, namely Frank Cipriani, George Gegenfurtner, Ken Crosson and Charlie Fest. There were others but these names stand out as the stars of the 1959 Timon Baseball Team and in what could be termed a mediocre season it was heartening to see their steady performances. Student support of the baseball team was sadly lacking this season. All to often when one looked over the spec- tators the faces of Timon students were not there. If there had been a little yell now and then in those crucial moments the team might have produced that extra little punch that would have made the difference. One thing we can always keep in mind is the fact that if the team had been supported as it should the championship cup might still be at Timon where it belongs.

The Spring season was highly successful. as Timon went on to win every match. bringing their total to 19 straight wins. The turning point of the season came when Timon defeated Canisius in an overtime match. The score was tied six all after the regulation I8 holes. It took three more holes before the duet of Joe Purcell and Mike Snajczuk came through to beat their opponents. Two Timonites received All-Catholic positions-Joe Purcell and Jake Pfister. The Fall season was not so successful. Timon started out on the right foot by defeating St. Francis ll-1. Then two straight loses to St. Joe's and Canisiusjust about put an end to any possibility of Timon repeating as champs for the third straight year. Timon closed out the season with a victory over Baker-Victory-95-ZW. Again Jake Pfister came through as the big gun and took an All- Catholic berth.
