BASEBALL Last year Lake Forest won the Mid'Western baseball championship. It is said that with the wealth of this year's team we ought to repeat this performance. The old men back are Captain Colucci, Straub, Toney, Drewes, Rosenbaum, Mc' Donough, Karlen, and Gallagher. The new men who are showing up very well are Stokes, Ford, Beat, Sloan, Kellar, and Grimes. The infield is practically the same as last year's except with Stokes, a new man on first. The outfield is all back. The pitching staff is very promising, Ford and Beat have shown some real stuff , the catching end is the only place where last year's team was superior. - Mr. jones hopes to iron out the kinks in this department very soon. The team had a late start on account of the weather, it has been against all spring outdoor activities. The team worked on hunting and fielding in the gym for the first two weeks, and during this time Mr. jones explained the art of base running. The first rainy day we had Mr. Jones taught the entire squad the knack of sliding. Otto Beroth is doing his share towards making a champion team and has been attending to his managerial duties very well. Page one huvidred twentytwo
