This pr-oved to be very interesting, and the score of 13-4 in favor of the Council, by no means indicates the closeness -of the play. Credit should especially be give-n, in this game, to Elliott for his pitching, to Hardwick fo-r his field- ing, and to Davis f-or his batting. The game was a real climax and the boys should be complimented be- cause credit is surely due them. An account of the baseball season would not be complet-e without mention -of the sever-al pick-up games th-roughout the sfeaso-n. One ofthe m-ost interesting was the fierce battle staged between '4Miracle Man Morton and His Miraculous Mi- crobes and' Lazy Lillard and His Lousey Lemons. The score, at the time of 'publicati-on, has not been decided. The special feature of the game was 'the hit of Dr. Leadbetter, an old P-asquaney boy,-a hit which is recorded in the annals of Pas- quaney baseball as the longest -one ever made on the Camp diamond. In determining the 'award of the Harvard Cup for General Excel- lence in Baseball at Camp Pasqua- ney and 'also for helpfulness and co-operati-on in the sport, there were five very likely candidates.

64 THE PASQUANEY ANNUAL Photograph by A. W. Moody AN INFORMAL SET-TO year there were more than the usual .number of boys who could not play the game, the high brand of tennis displayed by the older boys gave promise of an excellent 'tennis sum- mer. Many of the lea-ding players of the preceding year had returned, and a few of the new boys showed much interest and fability. Since the weather was particularly favor- able this year, the courts early acquired an excellent playing sur- face. Bo-th of these conditions were perhaps, leading factors in arousing the splendid interest which marked the season. During the two weeks of camping parties the usual Stay-at-Home tournaments were held. The first week saw most of 'the ranking players in Camp and the competition was very keen. It was not surpris- ing, however, that Clothier Jones. three times Camp Champion, should win by defeating Elliott in the finals. In the second week tournament Pat- terson anci Townsend reached the hnals, the former e-asily winning the match C6-lj K6-lj. Both of these tournaments were run off Without the players being -divided into groups and they gave an excellent basis for later classification. In accordance with the custom of the last few years, a tennis exhibi- ti-on was staged -at the Annual Re- ception to Paren-ts. In the doubles. Hart and Haskell defeated Wilkiii- son and VVinstead in -a match remarkably well played for Juniors. In the singles. Jones again -proved his right to his title by defeating Elliott in another beau-tiful match. Tennis instruction was carried on this year as usual, and with the helpful co-operation of Mr. De l,a 'tide .hnnninvlmm-1 .11-fv.n...,u,-, .gao-4nq-.g,.,,A..,,,--A,,- f C4 llf bt 5't Cf tli bl Si G di ni ll Q4 tc Cl I Vl 1' S: 'E G ll T I
