BASEBALL SQUAD ISaarball The baseball bug began buzzing around this year almost before the snow bad vanished, and soon stung all the old fans and prospectives into action. Two weeks before the spring vacation, the athletic field was in fair condition, and each afternoon found a flock of hopefuls chasing “flies” to every corner of the field. Only a few of the ’13 men are gone, leaving vacancies to be filled, but with the wealth of material on hand a strong team can be picked. Even the old men recognize that to retain their positions means consistent, hard work, with a chance even then of losing the position to some new, speedy man. With “Fritz” Taylor again on the job, Coach Beal will not have to worry about his pitching department. Fritz’ record last year, his first season of college baseball, was remarkable. This season he should be able to twirl the little sphere still more effectively than last. Pogemillcr, who did the receiving last year, and whose hitting was so instrumental in making scores, was elected at the beginning of the season to act as Captain and to lead the 1914 nine into action. Goehring, premier third baseman, Campbell, first sacker, and Barnett, last year’s shortstop, make a strong infield, and will give the youngsters a real chase. Hayes, from last year’s team, Marsh, Barnhart and Thomas are fighting for the outfield places. SCHEDULE Monmouth at Mt. Pleasant. Penn at Mt. Pleasant. Central at Pella. Central at Mt. Pleasant.

Taylor in the Box THE 1913 SEASON Captain Goehring’s lovers of the national sport wound up the last baseball season by splitting even on games won and lost, but claiming twice as many runs as the opposing teams. Wesleyan first met Leander Clark who succeeded in getting four of the five scores made. The first victory of the season was plucked while entertaining the Carthage nine on the local diamond. Although they tallied more hits to their credit, they were not able to convert them into as many scores as did the Wesleyan batters who had an eye for bunching their hits to best advantage. The game with Pella was a one-sided affair, with Howard and his followers on the big side. By judicious use of the squeeze play the opponents’ defense was completely baffled, and before the game closed eight scores had been checked up in our favor. In contrast with the wretched fielding of the Central men Wesleyan put up a lightning fast game without even a bobble to mar it. Taylor in the box had the “Dutchmen” at his mercy, as he fanned an even dozen and held them to a scoreless game. Penn College was the next to suffer defeat. Disheartened because of the loss of their catcher from the game, on account of injuries, the “Quaker” aggregation were unable to get into the game and consequently went home with the small end of a ten to one score. Our team then invaded Central and Simpson territory. In the Central game Captain Goehring was found on the sick list. Several costly errors and bad luck in general gave the contest away, with a 4 to 1 score. The Simpson game was perhaps the best of the season, a pitchers’ game from beginning to end. We were forced to accept a 2 to 1 defeat. However, this was not so bitter for the fast Ames team had been contented with a like score from them earlier in the season. ......,::::i3E=c=:............t I’oKc” at Bnt
