Athletics HE pupils of the Liberty llnion High School have taken no interest in any athletic sports except in baseball. but great has been the enthusiasm in this line. Our first opponents were the members of the Riverview High School team. whom we encountered on September l-l. 1907. We won the game by the score of 7 to fl. The best our opponents could do was to get a man on third base. but by clever playing they were never allowed to cross the home plate. l'pon the arrival of the visiting team and their friends. we were all invited to partake of a delicious luncheon. which had been prepared by the girls of our high school. VVe next' tested our strength with the members of the Mount Diablo Union High School team at Con- cord. VVe went in a body to this place. leaving the depot at 8. but owing to a delay at Avon we did not reach our destination until l o'clock. Before proceeding to the field we were shown through their new high school building, and were then invited to a banquet. which proved to be a veritable feast. VVe then repaired to the diamond. where we came off victorious with a score of 16 to 5. Owing to the late- ness of our arrival and the length of the game we had to make a very hurried departure. and suc- ceeded in catching our train only through the kind- ness of the conductor. who held his train for us. Three weeks later. October 12. we niet the baseball club of the Richmond High. with whom we contested for the championship of Contra Costa County. Vtfc succeeded in winning an uninteresting game. the score being 19 to 8. Thus did we win the champion- ship of the County. Our line-up for the past year was as follows: R. Nunn. pitcherg J. Barkley. catcherg R.. Shafer. first baseg E. Shafer. second baseg F. Nunn. third bascg G. Barkley. shortstopg Robert Wallac.-e. left fieldg D. Pemberton. center fieldg M. Ditfin. right field. We were unable to get any more games after the Richmond game. so could gather no more scalps to hang on our victorious belt. This spring we have received challenges from the Oakland. Mount Diablo. and Richmond high schools. but owing to the absence of our catcher. Barkley. and Fielder Pemberton and others who. on account of sickness will be unable to play. we will not be able to respond. The girls of Liberty Union High School and the faculty showed a marked interest in the games last year. and this proved a very great help to us, their enthusiasm inspiring us to put forth our very best efforts. If they manifest the same interest this coming year we will develop a strong team and carry off the baseball honors again.

In addition to baseball we hope next year to attain to some degree of skill as tennis players and to be ready ere long to receive challenges from other high schools for tennis matches. In the rainy season we will occupy our time with the boxing gloves and punching bag and indoor gymnasium work. R. H.
