Although the outlook was not very bright because of the loss of Hersey, Toland, McCormack, Flynn, Lantz and McDonald, a fast nine was developed with Frank Horrigan handling the managership reins. Witli a nucleus of Herrin, McCorry, Stumcke, Trainor and Henderson and the addition of Red Gould, Spike Doheny, Pat Donohue, Eddie Lord, Archie Macliityre and Jake Roberts, a very formidable aggregation was organized. Twelve games were played, of which we won five, lost six, and tied one, as follows: B.U.S.S.

iffiff. 1 SYLLABUS 1923 Other numbers on the programme were: The recitation of The Runt, by Jack Glynn, singing by the B.U. try-Outs, Bostwick, Tileston and McKay, a Kosher dance and Gungha Din by Pep Gittelman and a speech by Prof. Babb. Then came an encore by Pep which provoked a barrage of loving cups, cigar boxes, tin cans and miscellaneous objects. Pep fled to shelter. The Great Educator, assisted by Tony and several of the gang, then distributed the ice cream. As a closing number, the DeVil,s Den Herald, edited by H. Sehnoebelen and Jack Glynn, was read. The Devil,s Den Sporting Club, of which this paper is the official publication, was organized in Ellsworth High School in 1895 while Professor Bellatty was a student there. Since then it had become inactive but was revived during the Summer School sessions and all students are members. The Herald, consisting of boosts, digs, knocks, wit, sarcasm and other nice things, was heard with great pleasure CU by the students. B. U. SUMMER SCHOOL BASEBALL Behind the bat, we had Fish Herrin, the old reliable varsity backstop, who caught a heady, clever game, and batted consistently all season. When Fish was laid up, Red Gould took up the task. Red did a very good job and showed promise of developing into a first-class catcher. In the box we had Spike Doheny with a very good season, although he was troubled with a sore arm throughout. When Spike,' was going right, he was a puzzle to opposing hitters, as he showed in the first Bar Harbor game and also in the U. of M. game. Dependable Meatball Joew McCorry took his turn in the box, although he covered the initial sack practically all season. Pat Donohue was a newcomer, but his playing was high Class all through, as well as his stick work and base running. At short we had Harry Stumcke, whose fielding opened the natives' eyes. Harry batted at a .300 clip, and his playing was much in demand around Bangor. At third Eddie Lord was a real star, playing the bag in such a fashion as to draw comments from all the sporting writers around Eastern Maine. His hitting was timely and consistent, Eddie leading the team, batting for 388. In the outfield we had Olaf Henderson, a fast fielder, who, although he jumped the team for a couple of weeks to join the Benedicts, came back stronger than ever, playing a fast, clever game. In center field we find our old friend Blondy Trainor playing one of the best seasons of his career. Blondy's hitting in the pinches was a delight to the team's followers. We find Archie lVIacIntyre and Jake Roberts fighting it out for the other infield position, both playing a fine brand of baseball. Archie was a fast man on bases and a good hitter, Jake was a clever fielder and easily held up his end. All told it was an enjoyable season and a great deal could be said in favor of the student body who followed the games and stuck by the team through defeat as well as victory. We find also that the faculty showed a great interest and backed the team at all times with a spirit that was highly appreciated by the team, by he manager, and by the entire student corps. 278

By PROFESSOR CHAS E. BELLATTY, lllonagor of the Faculty Plfhirlwifzds Lamoine Point, long famous as the setting of Herne's great State of Maine drama, Shore Acres, established new claims to immortality last summer when it became the spot on which occurred the first of many annual defeats of the all-student baseball team by the faculty nine of the Ellsworth Summer Session. Though seriously handicapped by the refusal of the student team to face Dean Lord, the first string pitcher of the faculty nine, and almost as much by the shameless partisanship of the oneway umpire, the faculty team easily demonstrated the superiority of brain over brawn-of wisdom over boneheaded inexperience. Professor Goggin, substitute pitcher for the faculty, was in his old-time Tuftonian form. His curves broke perfectly. His moist ball had the jump of a Union River bullfrog. The velocity of his speed ball reminded the spectators of the lightning-like flash of lVlr. Harry Eat-em-up Stumcke as he fights his way to a free ride from ball park to chow hall. WINGATE SUBS FOR HASCALL Nevertheless, Professor Goggin's reign was brief. Behind the bat as substitute for Mr. Lee C. Hascall, the regular backstop of the faculty, was Wingate, a volunteer from thc Hancock Point second team. Earlier in the week, when motoring home from what he declared to have been a strictly formal clambake at one of the suburbs of Otter Creek, Wingate had suddenly and simultaneously discovered a hitherto un- known sharp curve in the highway, a new way to cross a wet ditch without muddying the wheels of a coupe and a quiet place to sleep in the bosom of a barberry hedge. When, therefore, the first two students who faced Professor Goggin had struck out on six pitched balls the combination of speed and twists completely unnerved the plucky Wingate. As the tenth successive curve spatted into his mitt he threw ball, mitt, and mask high into the air, turned three catapulting cartwheels and, descending, draped his un- conscious form about the stalwart neck and shoulders of Charlie Pearson, Chief of the Ellsworth police, as limp and languid as one of Randall's unjacketed eels. Thanks, however, to the versatility of first baseman Sullivan, who relieved Professor Goggin and whose fast straight ball created no hallucinations in Wingate's overwrought mind, the faculty team retained its mastery of the situation. 280
