1 E l THE AE OLIAN 1921 O Q D + —i q THE 1920 BASEBALL SEASON In the spring of 1920 Garrett high school stepped to the front by claiming the Northern Indiana championship. Last fall the Maroon and Blue carried off the undisputed championship of Northern Indiana in football, and in the spring they won the same distinction in baseball. This season was the most successful in the history of Garrett high school and the team finished the season with seven victories out of seven starts, every one of which was by a comfortable score except for the game with Bluffton which ended by a score of 2 to 1. Much of the success must he placed to the credit of Alcie Freeze, the star pitcher of the team. His phenomenal pitching throughout the season was the cause of the low scores made by the opposing teams and his heavy hitting was accountable for a large number of the runs scored. Freeze pitched six out of the seven games played, and in these six encounters secured sixty-four strikeouts. He allowed only eighteen hits during the season. The best game of the season was played against the Bluffton high school. This was the only closely contested game. The remaining six were won easily by a one sided score, the Fort Wayne high school putting up the best two battles. The scores were: Garrett, 12; Fort Wayne, 4. Garrett, 19; Decatur, 1. Garrett, 26; Auburn, 5. Garrett, 15; Hicksville, 1. Garrett, 10; Fort Wayne, 2. Garrett, 26; Emerson High, of Gary, 12. All of the games played by the team were against representative high schools in this part of the state. Several of the teams, including the Emerson High of Gary and the Fort Wayne high school, lost the only games of the season to the local nine. After the overwhelming drubbing that was administered to the Emerson team, the Garrett nine was unquestionably the high school champions of Indiana for the year of 1920.

Games were scheduled to commence the first week in March but it was not until May the second that the Maroon and Blue was able to stage a con¬ test. The games played thus far have demonstrated that the 1921 team is a worthy successor of the championship aggregation that established the enviable record of last year. It is too early to make any predictions but with no injuries Garrett bids fair to finish the season without any defeats. The year’s schedule includes the following victories: ■ - May 2—Auburn 1. Garrett 16. May 6—Angola 6. Garrett 14. May 7—Kendallville 4. Garrett 17. The remaining games are: May 13—Garrett at Waterloo. May 14—Salem at Garrett. May 20— Bluffton at Garrett. May 27—Fort Wayne at Garrett. Page Twenty-Five
