BLANCHE 0. WELDEN. BASEBALL Baldwinsville High came through the season undefeated until we played the championship game. We played a hard, fast game but North Syracuse had the stronger team. Due to Coach Getman’s training our players went from victory to vic- tory and made the name of Baldwinsville shine in the Sport columns. For another year Baldwinsville has carried away another Western Section Cup of the County League. Many of our players from last year came back and made our team stronger. Our star moundsman, Marshall Stevenson, was greatly missed but Walter Doran brought us to victory by his strong pitching. Although he was hit on the right arm at Elbridge by a pitched ball, he was at his best during the championship game. The players were faithfully supported by the whole school at every game. The organized cheering as well as the attendance kept up a strong school spirit. The championship game was a hard fought game from beginning to end. No runs were scored until the third inning when by errors three were chalked against Baldwinsville. SCHEDULE B. H. S.
