Lincoln 0-Textile 9 The Lincoln nine opened the 1935 season in a disappointing fashion, when they were decisively beaten 9fO by Textile High School of New York. The powerful Textile nine, behind the inspired pitching of Nicolas and Romera, had no trouble in hitting three Lincoln pitchers for a total of eight hits. Lincoln collected only three scattered hits, but as they came out at times when the bases were vacant, they went for nought. Lincoln 11-Henry Snyder 2 Behind the effective pitching of Charlie Achong the Big Blue batters hit their stride and walloped the offering of Lefty Cocoa over the lot for eleven hits and a sum of eleven runs while Lincoln limited the Snyder bat' ters to two hits, striking out 13. The victory restored the confidence of the team after a shaky firstfgame start.

Lincoln 6-Jefferson 2 The team copped its second victory by a 6f2 triumph over Jefferson in a game that was curtailed to five innings on account of rain. Behrens, the Lincoln moundsman, turned in a good job in limiting the powerful Jefferf sonians to four hits and two runs, while his teamfmates had a good day in pounding the offering of the rival pitcher for six hits. Three hits by Francis McDonough and a timely home run by Harry D'Allesandro led the way to victory. Lincoln 7-St. Michael's 6 Although St. Michael's team put up a stiff battle, our club nosed them out by the score of 7f6. In the second inning hits by Heffernan and Brown, followed by Adamchuk's home run gave us a threefrun lead. St. Michael's, ho-wever, in their half of the inning went ahead by one run as the Lincoln moundsman momentarily weakened. The Blue and White had another scorf ing spree in the sixth inning, when they put over three more runs on hits by Pierce, H. McKenna, and Campbell, and safe bunts by D'Alessandro and Heffernan. Again in the seventh Lincoln scored, making a total of seven runs. St. Michael's rallied in the ninth, boosting their total to six runs. Lincoln then fought hard, played fine defensive ball, and saved the day. Lincoln 5-St. Peter's 2 The Slanemen continued their brilliant winning streak as they took the St. Peter's Prepsters into camp to the tune of 5f2. Peter's put up an un' expected fight to make the game interesting although Whitbeck, the Lion pitcher, had the Prepsters eating out of his hands, as he gave them only four scattered hits while whifiing seventeen batters. Qui' team gave him a lead of one run in the first, and continued by scoring another in the fifth. The Prep scored one tally in the sixth, but Lincoln reciprocated with a barrage of three runs in the seventh stanza. Peter's fought back and scored a run in the ninth, but poor basefrunning nipped their rally in the bud. Lincoln '7wUnion Hill 6 Our boys continued their brilliant play when they knocked off a pref viously unbeaten Union Hill nine by the score of 7f6. Lincoln started off with a bang by bunching three hits and a walk, to score four runs in the first inning, but Union Hill nullified this advantage by scoring three counters in their half of the first inning and another run in the second. In the third inning Lincoln put over three hits for two more runs. Union tied the score on a homer by Zaycek, and three singles. In the eighth inning Hugh Mc' Kenna singled, and Harry D'Alessandro supplied the victory punch by drivf
