The great healthful games are those played out-of-doors. Seek first the Kingdom of Out-of Doors, the philosophy of games seems to say, and you will find health and pleasure there. In the playing field and on the river we should seek, and we may find, a strong arm, a sure aim, a steady eye, and dignity of bearing. One of the first rules of games is to lay the foundation of a full and splendid manhood, and we should keep, as one of the mottoes of our outdoor life, the thought that a noble mind should live in a noble body. We should play a game for its own sake, never spoiling the spirit of all true games, or lowering the dignity of all true manhood, by playing it for profit, at the expense of somebody else. If a game is not interesting enough in itself we should leave it alone We should scorn to break the great rule of Fair Play by playing for a baser motive than the pure love of the game. Play the game for the game, and for nothing but the game. Our games are our own lessons in noble things. The playing field is in truth the High School of life. It is there we find the great distinctive qualities that mark the men of the English-speaking race all over the world. No American boy can be healthy and whole and miss the laws of honor. They ring through every school that is worth the stuff it is built of g they are blazoned as in letters of fire over every playing field worth walking on. They are among the oldest things in the world, and they will last as long as the human race. Even in the olden days when men's sense of honor was curiously twisted, so that only a duel sould satisfy it, a man would not take a mean advantage of the enemy he was about to kill, but would measure swords with him to see that the chances were equal and the fight was fair. And always at the bottom of all true ideas of sport, however men may for- get it, is the great maxim, A fair field and no favor. We must think of the game and not of ourselves. That game is lost in which one member of the team seeks his own glory. The unity of all for a single cause, each playing his part for the general end, is the condition without which no game is won. Chivalry, the surrender of self, obedience to the law that holds the team together-these things grow naturally with every game we play, and we should cherish them as a part of ourselves. We should be staunch and loyal and true 5 our comrades must be able to rely on us. If we are loyal to our team, to our school, we shall be loyal to our town and to ourbcountrgy gg the very beginnings of our patriotism lie in our games. I I 1926 IPAGE 551

Each team in the league played the other teams two games. At the end of the series, Buckley again having the highest percentage retained the silver loving cup which they had won the previous two years. The battery this year was composed of L. Baylor, catcher, and Ham- rick, Yerger, and Brenner pitchers, with Hamrick doing the greatest share of the twirling. The remainder of the line-up was as follows: C. Baylor, 1 b., P. Brenner, 2 b.g Yergler, s. s., Crum, 3 b., R. Brenner, L. F., Ryan, and E. Reutter, C. F., and Kuebler, R. F. The other men who were used during parts of the games were, Fry, W. Eberhart, C. Reutter, and Har- weger. The first game of the season was played on the local diamond between Buckley and Cissna Park. The playing was very ragged in this game as B-uckley won 19-8. The second game was between East Lynn and Cissna, on the former's diamond. This was probably the best game of the entire season. Both teams played air tight baseball. Hamrick and Yergler, twirling for Cissna, were at their best in this game. They held the East Lynn players to two runs while Cissna scored three. The third game was between Buckley and East Lynn at East Lynn. Buckley won easily over East Lynn, defeating them 10-5. For the next game we journeyed to Buckley returning with the short end of the score, it being 9-0. In our final game we played East Lynn on our local diamond. This was another very good game. The East Lynn boys seemed to be right and with the aid of Martin's lightning speed, we were downed by the score of 3-1. The last game of the series was between East Lynn and Buckley. Buckley won this game by the close score of 9-7. The main weakness of our team seemed to be the lack of having a good pitcher. Captain Paul Brenner handled the team in excellent fashion, and be- yond doubt was the best 2nd baseman in the league. The other members of the team played well but their work was not as outstanding as Capt. Brenner's. The score of the games is as follows: Cissna Park 8, Buckley 19. Cissna Park 3, East Lynn 2. B-uckley 10, East Lynn 5. Cissna Park 0, Buckley 9. Q Cissna Park 1, East Lynn 3. East Lynn 7, Buckley 9. 1926 IPAGE 561
