The cgllgonquin Canton glzgb 5617001 BASEBALL This year baseball was introduced to Canton High School as a major sport. Team candi- dates were given greater reasons for trying out by the purchase of uniforms which were paid for -by the sale of season tickets. These uniforms were yellow with Canton written in brown on the front of the shirts. Material was plentiful in every department but pitching. Tupper started the season but was unable to continue. Stiles, Nash and Gary all developed into good men to bear the mound duties throughout the season. When Nash pitched, Northrup played first and the rest of the team usually lined up thus: Ensby, catcher, Nash, first base, McCleod, second base, Patten, shortstop, Patterson, third base, Keough, left fieldg Stone, center field and Longshore, right field, with Sellis, Coakley, Northrup, Seelye and Scalise seeing frequent service. We are a member of the Frontier League and have made a very good showing. Other teams in the league are: Lisbon, Potsdam, Norwood, Madrid, St. Mai-y's, Rensselaer Falls and Heuvelton. Our chances for continuing success in this league are good. Many are lost by graduation but they can be replaced by others who have shown great promise this year.

The season started off with a bang, for we were successful in winning the first few games. However, our luck soon changed and we were given the role of graceful losers. The team put forth every effort but our poor luck stuck with us the rest of the season. The team loses three regulars this season by graduationg but regardless of this, the pros- pects of a successful team next year are bright. The Class of '37 wishes that next year's team will receive its share in luck and victory. Lena Lytle, Manager
