X --. , - I Quay Q it 1- fini. tl ,ff keili ipfvf , roi BASE BA LL Last fall our baseball team started out with hopes of winning the Tri- High League Championship, since all of the regulars of last year's team returned and also a few seniors who returned to school after a year's absence. 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

Our dreams were made real in the County Tournament, but we failed in the District on the home stretch. We had all our regulars back from last year, and some subs who were mighty valuable men. We played 26 games during the season, of these 18 were victories. Included in these victories are the Iroquois County Championship and second place in the State High School District meet. L. Baylor was elected Captain for the season, and served in this posi- tion with the best of ability. He also held down the running guard job, playing a great defensive and offensive game. Although not scoring con- sistently he made several markers during the season. He received the medal for being the best sportsman during the County Tourney besides be- ing picked on the First All-County team. John Hurliman, held down the other guard position. He played con- sistently throughout the season saving several games through his superior guarding. He was chosen on the First All-District team and established himself as one of the best back guards in the state. Aquilla Yergler, our star forward was always there with the goods. Probably the hardest fighting, ,most consistent player on the team. Be- sides scoring heavily all season he played a wonderful defensive game. He also was chosen on the First All- County team. Paul Brenner, our other forward, was rated by many as the outstanding player of the season. Paul played more than any other man on the team. He fought until the finish and was always there in the oien- sive and defensive. To Paul goes the honor of winning several games including the one at Momence, when he defeated them nearly single handed, by his dribbling, passing and shooting. Wells Ryan, played a great defensive game throughout the season, besides doing his share on the offensive. He could always be depended upon to come through with a few markers in a hard game. He alternated at forward and center. , C. Baylor played center a large part of the season. His playing was erratic. The other players who worked so faithfully during the year, and whose efforts helped in developing the first team are as follows: W. Eberhart, forwardg L. Crum, center, Fry and Hamrick, guards. These men still have another year of competition. The County Tournament took place at Sheldon this year. We were lucky enough to draw a bye thus playing the winner of the Buckley- Donovan game. We played Donovan Friday afternoon. We easily defeated them by the large score of 29-17. Our second game of the tournament was with the highly touted 1926 IPAGE 581
