101 THE CAEHULEAIN itiraumr At the time when the CAI-IRULEAN goes to press, our pros- pects for a championship team certainly look better than they have for years. When the call for candidates was issued, seven of last year's lettermen were available, including Cap- tain Laverell, Macfarland, Montgomery, Marsden, Valentine, Connors, and Landreth. The squad that turned out was one of the largest in the history of the School. Among the newer members of the squad who have performed especially well to date are Halpin, Grange, Dixon and Woltman. The season opened with Haverford, and the team cer- tainly lived up to all our expectations by trouncing them ll-3. .lohn Marsden pitched seven innings of wonderful ball and Woltman then finished the game. The next game was with Penn Charter, and proved to be a much closer game than was originally expected. John Mars- den pitched his usual steady game, but Penn Charter managed to squeeze in a run in the seventh, the first score of the game. Things looked had when we failed to score in our hal-f of the inning, and when a Penn Charter man led off the eighth with a double, but John breezed through nicely, striking out the next three men that faced him. Then in the eighth Joe Con- nors hit a double to score Montgomery, and later came home on their catcheris error, thus breaking up the ball game. The following game was with the Penn Freshmen, and Halpin pitched us to a 6-1 victory. Friends' Central was de- leated two days later by the score of 10-l. Then on Tuesday, April 30, we played The Hill School on our diamond in one of the closest contested games ever played on our field. John Marsden pitched brilliantly, strik- ing out ll men. and we finally won the game l-0. On the following Saturday we journeyed to Lawrenceville only to receive our first defeat of the season. Norm Halpin pitched a wonderful game up till the eighth inning, and we started this inning with a 3-1 lead, but Norm suddenly be- came a little wild, filling the bases. Then Marsden relieved him, but Lawrenceville managed to score four runs and thus sewed up the ball game, winning 5-3. During the past two years our baseball teams have cer- tainly had a wonderful record. We have played The Hill School twice and have not allowed them a run either time, which alonc is a great achievement for us to talk about. lt is impossible for us to give Mr. Kneeland too much credit, and at this time, although we have lost one game, we seem to he on our way to our second Interacademic League championship in three years.
