BASEBALL With five of last year's veterans back, the prospect for a successful base- ball team seemed promising. A schedule was made out which included games with Newberry, Rapid River and Gladstose. The battered condi- tion of the Students' Association's exchequer, however, presented a real obstacle to the fulfillment of baseball hopes. So in order to obtain money to carry out the schedule and buy equipment, a box social was held on April 22. The program of the box social was as follows: Elixir of Life, by the Camp Fire Girls. Violin solo, by S. Chudacoff. Next there was a boxing match between Black Seller and Kid Cupid known in civil life as Elmer. Kid Cupid was knocked down in the third round but was up at the count of ten. Black Seller received his medicine in the fourth round. After strenuous fighting and sundry knock- downs on both sides, the contest was called a draw because neither com- batant was able to proceed any further. The boxing was followed by a pillow fight staged on an elevated rail where a blow from a pillow was difficult to withstand. Heah and The Fightin Frenchman held the limelight in this event, the former receiv- ing the blows and the latter the honors. There was also an interesting match between Kid Marin and Young Durno, in which the former received the decision. After the stunts the boxes were auctioned off by Mr. Kefauver. The lucky ones who secured boxes departed for the gymnasium where coffee was served and the contents of the boxes consumed with much enjoyment. Dancing followed which was enjoyed by all present. , The team played its first game of the season on May 6 with Newberry at Newberry. At the end of the sixth inning Newberry led in the scoring by a count of 8 to 6. Heavy clouting of the ball saved the day for Manis- tique. Johns-on and Weingartner knocked out three baggers at opportune moments. May 13 Rapid River invaded the local camp but the team succumbing to Follo's baffling balls, was obliged to retreat with a defeat of 10 to 5. As in the game the week before Manistique got next to the opposing pitcher so that the result of the game was never in danger. Gladstone, after winning from Escanafba and Rapid River, maintained their unblemished record in the two games they played our team. Both battles were closely contested and ended in scores of 6 to 3. Follo pitched excellent ball all the while but failed to receive proper support at critical points of play. For instance at Gladstone in the first inning, although no
