It's Bound To Get Better Fans of baseball in 1958 saw almost an entirely new roster of players on the Madison team, as there were only three lettermen returning. The team also acquired a new coach, Coach Clark. Mr. Clark won the respect of all the players because of his knowledge of baseball. Although the team lacked experience, its spirit was high, and it was a favorite of all at Madison as it began its season play. In the first game with Harvey the team was too eager and made five errors, helping Harvey win, 9 to I. Their next encounter was with Riverside. Even though the boys played hard, the Beavers edged them, 11 to 10. At the end of the third game, played with Madison’s long time rival, Perry, the team was again on the short end of the scoring, 13 to 7. In a pitchers’ battle Madison lost a close one to Edgewood, 2 to 1. Then came the annual game with the faculty. The faculty won, but the team left the diamond saying that next year would be different. In the fifth regular game, Madison lost to Char- don, 10 to 2. The next game was with Warrensville and the Streaks were set back, 9 to 5. Harvey had no trouble scoring in the s'econd game with them and Madison lost, 18 to 8. The team finally tasted victory in a duel with Edgewood. The final score was 4 to 1. The Riverside Beavers again dropped the Madison team in a hard fought game, 7 to 2. In the next game the team turned on full strength, but the Perry Pirates did the same, and Madison lost, 8 to 7. The team, however, hadn’t given up. They showed us their spirit by nipping Burton, 6 to 4. The la«t game of the season was played with Middle- field. The Cardinals finished on top, 17 to 3. Although the baseball team won but two games while losing ten, Madison High can be proud of them and can look forward to a promising season next year when many of the players return.
