He shifted to short stop later in the season to star continually. Loy will be missed on next years squad. Orville Kommerer proved to be a very good right fielder, as he had a good arm and a good eye for catching flies. Orville seemed to hold his part in hit- ting with the rest of the team. Archie Bradeen played center field and filled the position very well. He was a hard and long distance hitter and did very well behind the bat.- Ray Addington, our only lefty on the team, did a very good job in left field. He was a hard hitter and was noted for his fast peg into home. Dick Jennings, Kermit Boissoneau, Don Emerson, Frank Berglund, and Albert Anderson , also'preved to be very useful when needed.
