BASEBALL The baseball team under the coaching of Messrs Hinman and Hunting started its prac tice a few days after the end of our spring vacation The team shaped up well in the three weeks of practice and those boys who werent experienced enough for the Varsity composed the second team under the super vision of Mr Hunting The Varsity how ever was handicapped when news came that George Langdon and Don Campbell would be unable to play for a few weeks because of sickness Both boys had positions on the team George at first and Don at right field These two positions were filled by Ted Lib bey and Charlie Staples both of whom did exceptionally well during the first game with New Hampton The score Holderness 9 New Hampton 7 The game with New Hampton proved many things about which every one in school had his doubts Could John Manley pitch? Last year he was a tennis player This game showed that John could pitch Could the team hit? Seven of Holderness runs came in the first inning Phil See started the bat ting with a hit through second base Brad Wagoner followed hitting through third and gained second on an over throw Captain Bob Crandall started the score rolling by a hit which knocked See and Wagoner in The heavy hitter of the team John Childs topped things off by a hit into left field which brought Crandall in to score After a change of pitchers we rallied through to the eighth man on the batting order During the next seven innings Holderness didnt score but New Hampton scored five runs During these innings when we were in the field Dick Warner was kept busy shaggmg Ries in left-field and Catcher Kuehner surprised us all a few times by catching the impossible. John Manley pitching a very good game for the first six innings allowed New Hamp- ton only two runs. But his arm gave out in the last of the sixth inning and then he was relieved by Bud Grimes veteran pitcher of last year s team. In the following inning Holderness scored a run which gave a two-run lead. Bud pitched a murderous three in- nings and stopped New Hampton from scor- ing. The game ended with a double play between Brad Wagoner and John Childs- very happy ending. All in all both teams should make good records. Compared with last year the var- sity has a good chance of doing better' time will tell. .l , - Qfrifm 517 Ji' Qi
