GB. llD. GB. lliill. xxx xxxx N il: N X SS R N N N X QNX M il A s At the beginning of the school year a baseball league composed of Buck- ley, Rankin, Loda, and Cissna Park was organized. Each team played a schedule of six games. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Anderson, Cissna Park Won four out of six games, placing second in- the league. Buck- ley defeated us twice during the season, and they won the championship by winning all of their games. The first game on our schedule was with Loda, at Loda. We were able to Win this game in a walk-away tilt, 22 to 5. Our boys put up a very good game and led throughout. Chet Hofman, our star pitcher, held the Loda batters at his mercy all of the time. The next game of the season was with Buckley at Cissna. Buckley won by the score of 14 to 4, showing a superior brand of ball throughout. Our next game was with Rankin on the local diamond. Cissna again was victorious, trouncing the Rankin boys, 9 to 4. In this game the locals had improved a lot over their previous one. Coach Changnon's Loda ball club fell easy victims, next, at the hands of the maroons. This game was featured by the hitting of L. Morton, who drove out a triple and a home run in two successive times at bat. Buckley had beaten us badly on our home lot, but we were determined to beat them in the game at Buckley. The final score was 3 to 1. This was a well-played game. Few errors were charged against either side. The maroons scored their lone score in the first inning. Buckley tied it in their half of the first. Then the battle raged for three scoreless innings till Buckley scored to cinch the game. ' Our final game of the season was with Rankin at Rankin. This game was to decide whether we would have second place alone or whether Rankin would share second honors with us. At first it looked like Rankin's game, for in the first few innings Rankin led us, but soon Cissna's heavy artillery went into action and the maroons won the game easily. This year's team was composed of L. Morton, c., C. Hofman, p.g A. Morton, lb., W. Barth and E. Yergler, 2b.g D. Pendergrast, ss.g O. Richoz, 3b.g L. Fry and W. Cluver, lf.g R. Schmidt, cf.g and E. Brenner, rf. This was a very well-balanced team. In Leroy Morton We had a dependable hitter and a good catcher. Chet Hofman, our star pitcher, was there with the goods. He was captain. Ralph Schmidt was a very good batter and an exceptionally good fielder. Earl Brenner was affair hitter and pulled in many balls that looked like sure hits. Walter Barth was a fair batter and seemed to be everywhere when in the field. Orin Richoz was third baseman and had a very good Wing to first. He came through with several hits during the season. Lester Fry and Wilbur Cluver, who alternated at left field, were both good fiy chasers and could be depended on to come through with several hits. Elmer xl EVHEWEQ 'W

Loda won the meet with Milford second, Stockland third, Cissna Park fourth, Buckley fifth, and Wellington sixth. Art Freidinger, our star distance man, fell to the ground exhausted in the mile race. The time of this race was about five and six-tenths minutes. He has run it all in better time than this and most likely would have won but for the meet Wednesday. Bill Farnsworth showed signs of weariness in his Sprints and this kept him from winning, in all probabilities. He placed second in the 50 yard dash and third in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Fred Huebener won third in the low hurdles in high class competition. L. Morton, our star weight man, hurled the discus ninety feet, to place second in that event. Delbert Pendergrast soared over the bar at nine feet and seven inches to tie for second place in the pole vault. The winner of this event came within an inch of the Whippet Six record.
