28 THE ECHO BOYS’ BASEBALL Top row, left to right: W. Clooney, Manager; G. George, T. Zarelli, J. Mullins, W. White, H. Helms, R. Colburn, Mr. Walsh, Coach. Bottom row, left to right: P. Burns, E. Huntington, F. Lelakes, D. Wallace, R. Smith, J. Smith. The baseball team for this year is made up of seven veterans and three or four rookies. The team when rounded in shape ought to win a good share of its games. Here are the players of this year’s nine and some of their good (or bad) points. Anthony Zarelli: Tony plays third base the position he covered last year. Tony is only a Junior now and looks as if he will “Go places” this year and next. Tony is a right hand batter, and although not a heavy- hitter, he quite often can be depended upon to sock one. Tony has a good arm and can move around third base like nobody’s busi- ness. Edward Huntington: “Jake” is a new- comer this year and so far has made good with a bang! “Jake” is a left handed bat- ter and can sock the old apple high, wide, and handsome with disastrous results to the opposing pitcher. He plays right field and can be depended upon to catch anything in his territory. He also has a good arm and is likely to cause plenty of trouble for players going for extra bases. Roy Smith: “Smitty” is another new- comer, but he looks as if he might become a fine player. Junior takes healthy cuts at the ball and can bang the old “pill” at a pretty rapid rate. Roy plays left field and can cover it to the queen’s taste. Daniel Wallace: Danny Wallace plays first base and is a very good one. Danny isn’t very big, but w hat he lacks in height, he makes up in ability to stretch those arms of his. He is a right hand batter and can hit pretty consistently. He is only a sophomore, but already he is a veteran on the team. John Mullin: Johnny is the second socker, and besides being a very good second base- man he is the Clark Gable of the team. Every time Johnny comes up to bat, he looks up in the grand stand, and then bang goes the old horsehide. The first game Johnny got six hits after six looks at the audience (so w-hat?). But all fooling aside, Johnny is a good player and so far the leading hitter on the team so we won’t say anything if anyone in the great crowd seems to inspire him. Philip Burns: “Phil” is the dashing, tear- ing, short stop and the lead-off batter. Phil has a good fast arm and can gun the ball across the diamond w-ith plenty of speed. Phil is small but full of pep, vim, and vigor and will help a lot towards w-inning ball games. John Smith: Johnny has had tough luck so far this season because of his shoulder, but when he gets the stiffness out of his arm, watch the old fur fly. Johnny plays shortstop, the position he played last year, but up to this w-riting Burns has had the edge because of his throwing arm. Johnny can play other positions though and will see plenty of service this season because of his hitting ability. Frank Lelakes: Frank is the Christy Mathewson of Sumner’s ball team. This is the second year Frank has been the ace of the team, and he has certainly pitched some fine games. Frank has a good fast ball and curve, all a high school pitcher really needs, and he can use them to fine advant- age. William White: Bill is the Dazzy Vance of the team and can certainly blaze that ball across the plate. Bill is a new pitcher for Sumner, but he should soon have op- posing batters standing on their heads try- ing to hit his fast ball. George George: “Georgie” is “Minnie’s” understudy, which isn’t such a prosperous job, Walter being the fine catcher he is. But George is a hard w-orking player and will do all he possibly can to fill Olsen’s position if called upon. If this group of young men only click to- gether, Sumner ought to have a pretty good baseball team and with plenty of sup- port from the students will endeavor to bring home the bacon as often as possible.
