zo YE LIBERTY In the sixth the .Nlhambrians wielded the club with shocking force, bring- ing in three more to their credit. making the score live to four in their favor, and, to make the situation still more alarming, shut us out without a run. Things looked bad. XYe opened the seventh by shutting them out. and Rich, to show that he still had a kick left in him. tore off a two-bagger. Prince presented the third baseman with a real live hummingbird and was ably supported by Swift and llill. ln a lively little triumph all four scored. The Alhambra smile was fading. They scored one in the first half of the eighth, and then, well, then, when the smoke had cleared up from the last half. they were pretty well used up. Eight more were added to Liberty's lead. Alhambra had consoled herself early in the game with the thought that Rich could not hold the terrific pace he had setg but there was still un- mitigated power at the sending end of the benders, and That serpentining spheroid, Came sizzling through the air. Alhambra swung the stick around, Hut say! it wasn't there. So in this chance they had no chance To change our winning score: But still in their defeat they said They'd like to try once more. Their skill with us in baseballg Then to show that they were game, They gave three cheers for Liberty And we gave them the same. The final score was 16 to 6 in our favor. On the 30th of April, Liberty crossed bats unsuccessfully with the Mt. Diablo High on the Concord diamond. Train connections could not be made, hence the long drive over and also the absence of our usual grandstand of charming feminine rooters. A little of the spirit which they are capable of inspiring and there might have been a different storyto record here. l T ED. L.
