Q VZZMX WARREN T. BARR Coach f. Q jj, , .. X BASEBALL Since a baseball team was formed at Chaney, it has become one of the major sports. It was inaugurated at Chaney three years ago under the direction of Coach Warren T, Barr. Baseball at Chaney has flourished very well because of the able direction by Mr. Barr, who has had almost a lifetime of baseball experience. He played this par- ticular sport while in high school and also played on the Lamba Chi Alpha Fraternity at Ohio University. Besides coaching the Fairfield Township High School for two years, he also coached the Quaker City High School team for four years. This was not the end of his career by a long shot, for afterwards he coached the American Legion baseball team for three years. After his three years of direc- tion of the American Legion team, he started this popular sport at Chaney and is coaching the team for a third year. Under the management of Mr. Barr and Faculty Manager, Mr. Robert Ross, Chaney will undoubtedly see many baseball victories and will produce exceptionally good players. i' Poge EigI'mtylFour if

TENNIS The tennis aggregation of Chaney High School had no exceptional victories to reminisce about, but the season was comparatively good considering that all but one boy was in his first year of playing. The line up, which promises to reap more victories in the following season, consists of Jack Baun, Bill Bryson, Norman Adams, Bob Banks, Monte Duncan, Paul Hamilton, George Evanoff, and Bill Schwager. The boys, under the expert supervision of Mr. Gomer Lewis, did exceptionally well for being newcomers in that field. With a little more experience the boys should do well against their more seasoned opponents. The advancement of tennis to a major sport in Chaney High School gives full proof that the well-organized social activities at Chaney are being roun edt , with an excellently balanced sports program.

The newly formed bowling team was started in the middle of the 1941-42 basketball season. Under the able guidance of Coach R. Griffiths, the team is expected to thrive greatly in the soft shoe sport. The team, recently formed, consists of the following: Michael Savarin, Charles Volinchak. John Koss, Andrew Yaniw, Morris Mahunik, John Asperger, Samuel Johnson, Charles Uray, Louis Heyman, and Dominic Ceroli. The above number represents the squad at present. BASEBALL Going through its second year of baseball, Chaney has left a record that will go down in Chaney's baseball history. Opening their series of games with the powerful nine, Chaney went on to win eleven encounters, dropping five to some of the most powerful teams in the section. Lead by the powerful and experienced pitchers, Bill Pugh, Alex Maceyko, and Bob Dieter, the team clicked greatly. Five of the games were played at Borts, their home field, four of which they won. The squad left for the tournament at Louisville, where they dropped a heroic battle to the score of 8 to 5 despite the marvelous pitching of the entire staff. The infield proved to be of remarkable strength. Speed, alertness, and never-tiring ambition were characteristic of the entire squad. 'lf Page Eighty-Three if 6:-L ,, E '-T 5 lg- .. 7 8

His catching was so good that he was rendered a neces- sity as well as an asset to the team. JOHN ZITELLO--second base. Without John, a person who could play any position on the diamond, the team would not have placed as it did. ALEX MACEYKO-pitcher. The swift pitching southpaw, with enough speed to arouse confusion in any catcher's mitt, lived up to his expectations. BILL PUGH-pitcher. Bill's curve ball was a puzzle to opposing batters, as his hitting was an anathema to opposing pitchers. BOB DIETER-pitcher. Bob threw a slow ball, but that slow ball was very seldom hit. JACK GILLESPIE-first baseman. He was the lad who put the pep into the game, from the start to finish. ROCCO SICILIANO-shortstop. Speed was a by-word in his game, rough, ready, and regular, he stood, V JOE BUNOSKY-third base. His record at the bat was vivid proof of his ability at his position. ELLIS RAMSEY-left field. Rated one of the best ground grainers on the squad, Ellis was of great value to the team. HARVEY BLOCK-center field. fQuits was a word that was absent entirely from his baseball vocabulary. TOM CARDEN-right field. A demon at the bat, a sport on the field, Tom was the man who came through in a pinch. if Page Eighty-Five 'k W , 0414! .v X. .ST--' ' S fi gg S inf' ,Q ' - .' ' 'Y :Q if .Sy F
