Dick West carried the brunt of theg r catching duties because of his experience as regular the previous season. Dick had a. 3 5 very watchful eye and very few persons ever got by stealing bases when he had the ax ball in hand. He was also an excellent batsman. Willey and H. Sperry alternated fs : I with West behind the bat. Wille was also an exce tional inch hitter, bein one of l -i - Y P P S : : l the best in the league.

Sperry and Exeter were two hurlers who were well qualified for their position. A. Sperry was handicapped by the lack of experience but by the end of the season he showed the skill of a veteran and could hold his own in any contest. Exeter was another moundsman who was well qualified for his position. His work as a relief hurler was outstanding. Both of these athletes represented the L. D. S. in a noteworthy manner and these two boys pulled more than one game out of the embers and turned it into victory. Sperry and Exeter will be eligible for scholastic competi- tion next season and they should be a big help in putting the team over next year. These four young men could not only throw the ball, but they could also hit it for a distance. Next season the Saint mentor will have an experienced pitching stalii to brighten the Saint hopes. llllll. 1 4' 1 N ln lx J sl5w. .a,1s4.'0a:z be f.,.
