PURPLE AND GOLD Page 49 Baseball Baseball! The national game! The safety valve of America! About the last of April the basketball becomes too heavy and attention naturally turns to the less weighty pill. In every park and sandlot is a ball game. Before the light of the basketball season begins to fade the Knights of the Diamond begin to limber up their arms and sharpen their batting eyes. When such interest is manifested in the game it is only natural that C. B. A. should have a good team. VVhen the call for candidates came last spring over forty men .reported for practice. Prac- tically every member of the 1925 squad was pres- ent. A full team of veteran regulars was in this bunch. With such excellent material and such wonderful coaching it 'is not startling that C. B. A. should repeat its success of previous years in this great game. A large number of really good pitchers made it possible to play quite often with- out overworking anyone, as is often the case in Record: April 24-C. B. A.. . . . April 24-C. B. A.. . . . April 28-C.

In the garden positions we had the same outfield that played such perfect, ball last season, and who continued to play in the same manner this year. Two' superb catchers completed the line-up. Backing this up was a second team good enough to compete with most of the teams in this sec- tion. VVhen the season opened we soon saw what a team was carrying the Purple and Gold standard. They could Held. They had ight and they were sports. The pitchers were tossing varied ball. The intielders were stopping every- thing and a ball seldom passedthe outfield. Is it any wonder that the Brothers' boys ran wild? XVe hoped for success. Our dream material- ized. Playing the same airtight ball all season the team piled up victory after victory over hard- est opposition. The best nine that ever repre- sented C. B. A. is now at the height of its glory, the standard of comparison for all its successors. Y. M. C.
