Eaarhall The baseball season of 1903 opened more favorably than that of 1902. There were at school tive of the previous yearls team, including the two pitchers. As Bill Cole, who was elected captain at the close of the season of 1902, was unable to return to school, the Athletic Association showed its good judgment by electing Captain 'K Pret H J ones. The practice, which was begun in the Lyman Gymnasium cage on February 21, was soon transferred to our baseball grounds, corner of Hope Street and Rochambeau W1 V9 wt fgjfyy X f M fl ff? f Fl 1, 4 ii I 9 l y W 1904 Avenue. After much hard practice, the team as Hnally selected consisted of Mahoney, c., Weeks and Tingley, p., Congdon, lb., Patterson, 2b., Jones, ss., Budlong, 3b.g McEvoy, rf., Weeks and Tingley, cf., Hempel, lf., and Cobb, substitute. Littlefield and Crawford made excellent managers, and carried the financial end of the season through successfully. Their untiring work in composing a varied schedule made a most interesting season for the team, which rewarded the hard work of the managers, and the loyalty of the rooters'7 by winning the championship and another pennant for Hope. 8 Wlll. 0116 The success of the season was greatly due to way that every player worked and tried to Who will soon forget the fourteen runs in inning at East Providence, the double defeats Q,-.nl ,i lr, f J, 1.1.1 fl if .5 ' Q ii ig V X ' Lx' . .

Glrzirk Ulvam Last year's Blue and White stated that the track team of 1902 had established a precedent which they hoped would be followed and improved upon in future years. The track team of 1903 certainly fulfilled this hope by winning the Inter- scholastic Track Meet, defeating Classical 50 points to 46, while W oonsocket, the other school entered, took only three points. The following were selected from a large number of candidates to represent the school: Allen, Burdick, Champlin, Clark, Crawford, Darling, Eddy, Hurley, Jackson, Kenney, Littlefield, McKenna, Paddock, Seabury, Tingley, Waterman and Weeks. Only three of these men qualified in 1902, but under the direction of Captain Austin, Coach Ehmke and Manager Hurley, this team secured the cup offered. WVeeks was our best man in the field events, breaking the records for putting shot and throwing discus. He had two firsts and two seconds to his credit, making a total of sixteen points, which was six more than the man next in order captured. Seabury was very successful in the short distances and won eight points. Austin also took eight points in the high jump and pole vault. The whole team worked hard and all did well. The list of those qualifying, and events: Weeks, 16 Points. lst Place. Putting Shot. lst Throwing Discus. 2nd Throwing Hammer 2nd Broad Jump. Austin, 8 lst High Jump. 2nd Pole Vault. Seabury, 8 lst 100 Yard Dash. 2nd 220 H Tingley, 6 1st 220 3rd 100 ' Darling, 5 1st Pole Vault. Kenney, 3 2nd Throwing Discus. Crawford, 3 2nd Putting Shot. I Littlefield, 1 H 3rd 880 Yard Run. These men won six firsts, six seconds and two thirds, making a total of fifty points, and winning the pennant and cup for our school. This spring, although we have lost some of our best men, another successful team ought to be turned out and win another banner to grace the walls of Hope.
