V 1H ' ' l wif bf ,with f Q T - l 1.-.-...l- T u T Easzhall s T . The Junior division has always boasted of having winning baseball teams and is keeping up its reputation this year as well as ever. i The Juniors, although not as strong as they were last year, are well able to cope successfully with any teams in their class. They have broken into the College League and have for some time kept a tight hold' on first place. The Juniors did not receive a handicap as the team did the preceding year, but had to win all their games by superior playing and, of course, an ocea- sional t'horseshoe. . ' Owing to their appearance in the Teague, the Juniors were unable to get -as many outside games as would otherwise have been the case. Their first outside game resulted in a victory over the Belmont Juniors by the score of 2 to- 1. T'he game was verv close and exciting throughout. The Juniors assumed the lead early in the game and held it during the remaining innings. Their next game was an easy victory over St. Michael's Y. M. S., second, by the large score of 23 to Jr. The Juniors scored in every inning, due largely to their excellent. stickworlc. Their schedule includes games with the Taeomahs, llfanakahs, Belmont Juniors, Young Prospects and others. The team is com- posed of J. Seitz, catcher, H. Neumer, pitcher, J. Martin, first base, C. Short, second base, C. Metzger,,third base Ccaptainj, A. Rayner, shortstop, E. Sny- 53 7

A review of the seasonls work discloses the singular fact that the guards, Baynor 'and Snyder, did an unusual amount of the scoring. Besides playing their guard positio-ns in faultless style, they were extremely adept in 'working the hall down the field, and when within distance of their own goal either one was generally there to successfull finish the play. One of the most ini- portant factors in the fast, accurate and scientific team work of the Juniors was the all-aro-und ability of Neumer. Alwavs in the game, speedy and aggressive, cool and heady, he was to be depended upon in every play, and his work all over the field was little short of marvelous.. Captain Metzger was particularly strong in caging the hall, hut his share in the team work and good judgment in directing the plays also made his services an important part of the whole. Although Martin at center was handicapped at iirst hy a lack of practice and experience, his later work proved that his selection was well justified. As utility guard Short played a hard, fast game and in emergencies kept the team up to i-ts original standard. The Junior division evidently has a penchant for developing good basket- lmall teams and this review of the men Who composed the S1906-07 souad proves their right to a high niche in the H all of Junior Athletic Fame.
