26 THE CHALK L I N E June 8, 1934 ATHLETICS ■ h-—---+ BASEBALL Still battling for a place in the sun the T. C. baseball team took the practice field after a de¬ layed start with prospects for a championship brighter than the football or basketball teams. Once the practice got under way the team began to show real class. Carson-Newman defeated the Teachers in T. C s first games, a duble-header at Jefferson City. A few days later T. C. trimmed the Eagles 18-0 and 3-0 and then kept up the good work the rest of the season. Maryville was the only other team to score a victory over the 1934 baseball cham¬ pions of the Smoky Mountain conference. For that one defeat the Johnson City institution handed Maryville three straight setbacks, scor¬ ing not less than eleven runs and as many as twenty-three. The team turned in the impressive record of ten victories and three defeats. In winning the championship the Teachers presented one of the most powerful teams the Appalachian region has ever seen a college put on the field. They possessed everything a great ball team should. They had hitting, pitching, and fielding. Nearly every man on the club, includ¬ ing the pitchers, was batting over the .300 mark. Twelve men completed the season as letter- men. Those winning the coveted honor were: Seaton, Bailey, Acuff, Thompson, McCall, Hoss, Byrd, Shull, Chambers, Taylor, Todd and Sams.

John Oakes and Edly Rogers were the returning veterans. Several new men began to show form and be¬ fore the season was well under way the team was among the leaders of this section. To go with the lettermen were Shelton, Sams, and Clark. These five men carried the team through a suc¬ cessful campaign against the toughest tennis schedule the college has had. The feature of the tennis season was a seven- day trip, taking the team to T. P. I., Murfrees¬ boro, Cumberland, Sewanee, Chattanooga and Maryville. INTRAMURAL ACTIVITIES The Intramural Department has closed one of its most successful seasons in that its pro¬ gram has been more varied, and more girls have participated in the events than ever before.
