CAPTAIN Mclturrm' The baseball team started the 1928 season in more or less of a poor fashion, but as thc season progressed the team showed a distinct improvcmcnt. Norm George and Gyp Lawless were the outstanding batters of the outfit with averages very close to 450. The team lost many of its games by very close margins, and succeeded in defeating M. I. T. twice, Norwich and VVorcester Tech. The close losses were Brown. X. II., Tufts,and Clark. The outstanding game of the season was with Yale. when the Terriers were shut out by a single run scored by Captain Dick Vaughan in the second inning. About the first of March, Coach Dr. George Gaw issued hisf-all for candidates to work out in the B. U. gym. About thirty men reported. As soon as the weather permitted, the squad set to hard work on the IValpole Street Grounds in preparation for the coming game with Harvard which was less than two weeks away. Un April seventh the Terriers met the strong Crimson outfit on Soldiers Field. The game was a slugging match for each team. Harvard won Q1 to 8. George looked well on the mound at the opening of the game and hleader showed up as strong as his predecessor. Errors accounted for the many Harvard runs. The team journeyed to Kingston to face the Rhode Island State Vollege nine on April 18. Nine hits were collected off the star Rhode Island twirler, Draghetti, which showed that the team had the smashing ability. Picard and Bergholtz were the heavy hitters. April Q1 found the team in Providence playing against the Brown Bears. The superior pitching ability of George Rawlings defeated B. If 2 to 0. McCarthy was the only man from Boston to reach third. In spite of the steady performance of lX'Ieader on the mound the Brown men succeeded in getting two runs, both when 13.11 players made misplays. The team walloped the Tech Beavers on April 26 by a score of 26 to 7, in a six inning game. The outstanding features of the game were centered around Gyp Law- less, who celebrated his return to the line-up by smashing out four hits. hlcflullough and Bergholtz both showed ' how homers are made IVIANAGER Tuomrsox 255 Sisvmef .-si9rf??'5?iiQTvL.Zi'..t1 1 9 . is sz S Y l- 5- A B U f

U. in the ninth inning. The Terriers were trailing by a five to seven score when they came to bat in the ninth, but the batting of Bergholtz, Elliot, Meader, and Picard turned the tables to an 8-6 victory. During the next week the team meet the local boys from Tufts and Boston College on May Q and 5 respectively. Tufts won 4 to Q and B. C. IQ to 4. George ands Bergholtz were the outstanding players for B. U in the Tufts game. The Eagles became home run hitters against B. U., VVeston getting two and Captain Mc'Menimen one. The 1Q-4 score does not give the Terriers their fair share of the spoils for they were ever nipping the Eagle's wings. Meader pitched good ball but was not supported well. The next victory came on May 8 when B. U. succeeded in defeating NI. I. T. by a score of 11 to 8 in a return game. George again was in the box and pitched good ball. B. U. was never hard pressed and succeeded in smashing the ball all over the diamond. Lawless was the star of the game. The best game of the year played by B. U. was at New Haven with the strong Yale team. Captain Vaughan made the only score of the game. The team looked fine and playedfirst-class baseball throughout. hfeader was in rare form and held the Yale batters to three hits. The team remained in good form but on hlay IQ New Hampshire defeated B. U. in a very close and hard fought battle by a Q-1 score. The outstanding player for B. U. was lNIcCarthy, due to his superior infielding ability. The star N. H. twirler, Evans, allowed only five hits and struck out ten men. VVorcester Tech found the B. U. outfit too strong a club on lVIay 15. B. U. won 6 to 4. George was the man who was responsible for defeating of VV. P. I. His hitting was hard and often, and he scored three runs. The last game of the season was played on May 19 at Clark University and B. U. was defeated 3 to 0. 0'Neil, Clark pitcher, allowed only two hits. lVIcCarthy and Picard were the B. U. aces.
