S ?U m r i 11 i L ACADEMY BASEBALL So active was the Baseball Bug this year that not only were the collegiate men aroused to action, but even the Academy stars were caused to move. With Gal-laher as manager and Glenn Lee as captain the Academy boys soon had a team working together. Several games with nearby High Schools will give them the right amount of exercise to study well, as well as develop them for the varsity when they get into College.

 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

(unmts Shortly before spring vacation the Iowa Wesleyan Tennis Association elected officers. Although this organization has been formed for only two years, they have been quite active, and every spring sees a series of interesting matches. Last year after a somewhat incomplete tournament Herbert Jeffrey, Enos Lauterbach and Earl Maucli were chosen to defend the “purple and white” in the match against Carthage. In the singles Jeffrey, by great serving and fast work on the return, defeated Karr Parker, the crack man of the opposing team. After splitting even on the first two sets in doubles, Lauterbach and Maueh lost the final and deciding set to Lawless and Kearney. Out of the three matches which have been played with Carthage, Wesleyan has been victorious in two and matched even in the other. A tournament among the local players will be worked off and before the season is over several outside matches will be secured. Herbert Jeffrey, who played such a fast game last year, will probably lead the team, composed of the winners of the local tournament, into the fray again this year. With the large amount of material working out a fast winning team is expected. The fair ones are also taking a great deal of interest in the game and this year for the first time a tournament for the girls will be played.
