Page Twenty-two T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number AQUINAS-LE ROY Aquinas Institute of Rochester came to Le Roy for their return game plotting dire revenge for their early season defeat. They went back to Rochester plotting re- venge for two defeats. The fact. is. they never had a look- in from beginning to end. Le Roy batsmen happened to have on their hitting togs that day and the result was that Manning, on the mound for the Irish, suffered his flrsti de feat in two years. The locals sailed right in from the start with a fine disregard for reputation. At the end of the nine stanzas, Le Roy, had made ten hits and five 1'uns. On the other hand, Maloy had been forcing the Irish batsmen to eat out of his hand. while the infield was right there with the old pep, completing three fast double plays as their share. Mark that one down with a good big X o11 the right side of the ledger. The final score was five to one. ST. J OSEPH'S-LE ROY On thd day following the Aquinas game. Le Roy jour- neyed to Buffalo for a return game with their prep school rivals. Maloy was badly off in form due to the fact that he had pitchedl on the previous day. He couldn't locate the plate and his temporary wildness forced in the' winning runs before he had settled down. The Le Royans were un- able to do any heavy scoring at any time and at the end of the game, tl1e score stood nine to four in Bufalo's favor. lDon't mark that one in the book at all. 1e:A'rAv1,l-I.r1 nor Batavia came to Le Roy for a return game -with high hopes of victory. As events turned out. they were not to be disappointed. 'Ihey started right off in the first inning and bunched enough hits to score two runs. From that time on they never had a chance for a run, but they didp't need 31152 Le Roy batsmen simply didn't have the punch to push over more than one run. We loaded the bases twice but each time the batter was unable 'to produce the needed hit. Both Maloy and Sherman. opposing moundsmen, hurled excellent games and it was hard for either of them to lose. The game was well played throughout as the 2 to 1 score indicates. The Picnic Un May 27. Thursday. to be exact the girls of the basketball squads. accompanied by Coach WVood. and her guest. Miss Mot'abe, journeyed to the Hemlocks. There they had a delightful picnic. Hot dogs, rolls. pickles, doughnuts, tllltl Forti's special pop we1'e among the' good things to eat. Really, the girls. as well as Coach and Miss .xii-t'abe ought to- make good at building fires after the one they finally succeeded in lighting. Did Bronc like the toasted marshm-allows? Ask Luke Welsh, she'll tell you. 'l'iel would, but sl1e didn't have any. Anyway, 'ta good time was had by all.'t Veronica tCapt.5 Mooney '26 The Annual Meet tt'ontinued from Page 19.1 Say. Coach. you've got to tape that thumb now, it's swollen so I ca11't grip the ball. All -right, answered that worthy, getting out his first aid kit. Red winced as the tape was drawn tight on his hand. I reckon I can hold them this inning . said ,Barber as he walked onto the diamond. Beverly's captain gave his approval to thetaped hand and the game proceeded once more. Red was a little wild. walking his first man. He fanned the next man and allowed the following batter to hit a slow grounder, and to be thrown out at first, From the Beverly supporters pealed a mighty yell. Sherman was advancing to the bat. Things looked dark for Logan. At his two previous times at bat he had driven a homer and a triple. Even a double or a single would tie the score for there was one man on. Sherman really deserved a hit, for he had pitched a superb game, And now justi one good smash and the score would be -1-3 for Beverly instead of 3-2 for Logan. He let one strike go by, but he connected with the next one. .For oyer the right field line it went. Foul ballfjyelled tliexpuinpire. Instantly a storm of cries broke forth. .f'You'big rob- ber. Never mind. Sherman, tl1at's only ua sample. Make it good this time, old boy. ' i H' in' '-.sg Un mf.- Barber slowly wound up. The audienceubecame so stillgthat you could have 'heard that proverbial pin drop. Would Sherman hit? Probably he would. And if it went to the left a little! Well, just imagine! With a quick swing, Barber delivered the ball. A black polished streak of a bat flashed thru' the air. There was a sharp crack and-the ball settled nicely into the catcher's glove. Sher- man had strusck out. George Barnard '26 Hi Gene: Do you like to play croquet? Marion: tblushingj No, mama. says its wickitf' Deb: Can you show me some durable neckties?

Commencement Number T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Page Twenty-one THE BASEBALL SEASON I BRI DCKPI IRT--LE ROY Bang! That's the way the season opened. And soon after the lid-prying process. Brockport Normal School fac- ed toward home with a 3 to 2 defeat as a memory. Le- Roy players and fans alike rejoiced because the team had started off' with the right foot forward. And results testi- fy that it has thus far been kept fo1'ward. But let us get back to this particular game. It was one of those close affairs with the outcome ever in doubt. Brockpo1't scored first, but Le Roy started in the same inning and evened things up. The score remained deadlocked at two all un- til the last half of the ninth. when the home team showed its fighting spirit and literally blasted in a run. With that lun came the end of the game.andvictory number one was chalked on the ledge. AQFINAS-LE ROY ' May Tth took the local team to Rochester for a'game with Aquinas Institute. Le Roy started right off in the first inning and went to the field with a two run lead. Not to be outdone. the fighting Irish came right back with the four. From that time on. the contest assumed a hit and run atmosphere. with Aquinnas having all the better of the argument until the ninth inning. Then the seige guns and heavy artillery of the Le Royans came into full play, and when the dust of battle had cleared away, the hated enemy lay stark and lifeless in defeat. The guns had scored four direct hits-enough to recruit the score L1 to 9 in our favor. Mark down victory number two for the hook. ST. JOSEPH'S-LE ROY The day following the hard Aquinas tilt, Le Roy play- ed St. Joseph's Institute of Buffalo on the home diamond. The locals did well in the field. but were kept perfectly tamed at the bat. We might alibi the defeat to the hard game of the day before, but the truth of the matter is that the Buffalo pitcher was too good for us. The victors scored two runs in the third and two more in the ninth inning. The. best we could do was t.wo in the ninth. There is no disgrace in defeat by a pitcher of this calibre. CANISIUS FRESHMEN-LE ROY Another team came down from Buffalo and proved its superiority by tronncing the locals to the tune of 7 to 1. This time it was the Canisius College Freshman, who turn- ed the tricks. They did it decisively and in a workmanlike manner. The team consisted of a bunch of hitters who simply would not or could not be stopped. They fielded almost as well as they hit and. in this way, kept Le Roy's score down. We have not excuses to offer. lVe were beat- en by a better team. Le Roy's lineup: Serusa, cf: Callan, lbg Boylan, 2b: Watts, ss: Tully, 2-Sb: Waldron. lf: Keenan, 1-fg Lapp, c: Maloy. p. ALBION-LE ROY Le Roy journeyed t.o Albion with high hopes of victory. but the old Albion jinx still worked. Everything went wrong. The pitching was poor and the fielding worse. Batting was a close third. The Le Roy infield was a patch- ed up one, owing to the fact that one of their number was ill and another drew down the pitching assignment. Lady Luck simply refused to smile on us. If there was'only one stone in the infield. the ball hit that with Le Roy in the field. If there was one hole ill the outfield, the Le Roy ont- fielders stumbled on it. In this way, Albion piled up a lead of 19 to 6. Thus the game ended and with it ended our string of defeats. ALBION-LE' Rf DY The return game with Albion followed the week after the first one. Le Roy was out for revenge and revenge they did- get. They hammered the offerings of four pitch- ers all over the lot. The locals started off in the first inning and made nine runs before they could be retired. That was only the beginning, and before the fun was over. we had amassed the grand total of twenty-five runs. The best the visitors could do was seven. CALEDONIA-LE ROY The Vlfednesday before the first Batavia game. Le Roy played Caledonia 011 the home diamond. The visitors put up a good game but were unable to cope with the attack of Coach Beebe's outfit. Hits flew to all corners of the lot in the first two innings and these were merged into ten runs for L. H. S. After those two bad innings, Caledonia played real ball and held the locals safe. All this time our team had been playing shut-out ball and the score at the end of the game was 10 to 0. BATAV IA--LE ROY Wow! Le Roy beat Batavia once more. And just to make it all the more pleasant, it took place on their own diamond, before their own fans. From the start. it resolved itself into a pitcher's battle between Maloyq of Le Roy and Sherman of Batavia. For the first seven frames, each side was blanked. The string of goose eggs made it look as though the break would never come. But come it did in the good old lucky seventh. Batavia's infield blew sky high and before it could, come back to earth, Le Roy had tallied four times. Batavia was lucky to score its only run in the eighth inning. a slight erron in the outfield presenting them their chance. Each pitcher allowed but three hits. Maloy had slightly the better of the argument, however. as he issued only one free ticket to first base as compared with SIlB!'l11ilIl,S four. Another great cause for Batavia's defeat was the fact that Le Roy's infield didn't blow.
