The game I saw they Wong For Ed he weighed a ton, And getting to the plate- They never tempted fate. To strike them out was pie, But Jim, the fox, was slyg For now and then he balked- The batter gladly walked. Around to third. by grace Of Jim the runner'd race, But never, never, no, 'Gainst Ed he'd dare to go. The strike-outs? Twenty-seven! The hits? Oh, they're in heaven. Those hits of Ed's, those fourll Ye Gods, hovq they did soar! They're going yet, I Ween, And yet in twenty 'steen, Three bunts were made by Jim. And then around he'd skim, On second base he'd stand Before the ball would land, And when the ball was tossed In cloud of dust he's lost. Home-plate appears. What now? Jim's past and making bow.

Having insured bright prospects to foster the mens Sana by means of a better library, novv happily accomplished, the Rev. Father promptly resuscitated from its ignoble grave the Athletic Association that it might look after the Day Scholars' '4physics and keep the ,Hdull boy away. The enthusiasm of the Dav Scholars rose to its highest pitch when Father John G. Mahoney, S. J., himself a graduate of C2lI1iSi11S, WHS i1'l'61aOCl-110911 HS the pop- ular manager of the Day Scholars' athletics. Success was now a foregone con- clusion. The Day Scholars once more started Uthe ball a-rolling, and encour- aged by the generous support of their leaders, the members started in to make this a banner year in the history of Day Scholars' athletics. That they have suc- ceeded can be plainly seen in thepfollowing account of the different branches cf sport.

The .candidates gladly accepted the services of Father Mahoney, S. J., as coach of the team. Almost five years have elapsed since the Day Scholars cheered on a Well organized and uniformed first team. This Year, however, We have organized a team that upholds the standard of former times. The Day Scholars can pride themselves upon the fact that We still have Within our midst many of those players who helped to make up the last Well organized team of 1901-2, and that together with the remaining talent We have a first class team. VVith Brady on third, Ronan on second, Helminiak on first, Persons, Mac- Donald and Burke in the box, Kavany and Reid at short, and Moynihan be- hind the bat, We have as good an infield as any other team of our class in the city. The outfield is occupied by Walsh in left field, McCabe in center and Smith in right. Taking all into consideration we cannot but feel pleased at the Work of the .Day Scholars in the past year.
