Toomey received little support from his mates. He went eleven innings before suc- cumbing 4-3. The Jasper batters scored three runs in the very first mning but were blanked the rest of the game as they handed the con- test to the visiting Dutchmen. In the second meeting with N. Y. Lf. Toomey hurled his best game of the year, giving up only three hits and one run. The one run was sufiicient, however, as the Violet ace, Teazley, again was victorious while giving up four hits. Following the Kings Point defeat, Man- hattan lost two more to City College, 12-7, and Hofstra. Thornton made his first start against Brooklyn College and assumed his old role as he collected a pair of blows while pitching to a 7-2 triumph. At this writing with the baseball season two-thirds gone, Thornton has been the winner of all four Jasper victories. The most recent of these was an 8-4 trouncing of City with three home runs providing a substantial margin. Two of the round trippers were off the bat of Cono Beneventano, hard-hitting third baseman, and the other was hit by Dom Montalbano. Thornton ' s other wins came when he bested the Fordham Rams, 5-.% and as his mates battered Hofstra in a return engagement, lO-.i. Toomey was the victim of a defeat by St. John ' s in which the sct)re was 12-3. ' When the 1947 campaign is terminated, Norton will lose pitchers Thornton and Bill Hyrnkiewich, and outfielders Hank Calcagno and Captain Tom Quinlan. While the pres- ence of these dependable performers will be sorely missed, Jasper rooters can look for- ward to a great year in 1948. Ken Norton will have an outfit that will be as strong a contender as any for the Metropolitan crown. Returning will be most of the present regu- lars and many good second stringers.
