EMCEAICHESS BASEBALL LINE-UP Ross-C. Powell-P. Amdor-lst. B. Montgomery--Znd. B. Lykins-S. S. Dunbar--3rd. B. McCall-I.. F. Howe-C. F. Kokensparger-R. F. Our boys did not show up very well in base ball this year, since it was the first season we had played for many years. Our first game was scheduled with Arrowsmith. The day was ideal for a game and the teams certainly lived up to the spirit of the day-both fought their best. After the score had stood 0-0 for seven innings, the spell was broken when Arrowsmith crossed the plate on our catcher's fum- ble. The game ended 3-2 in Arrowsmith's favor. The second game was with one of the best teams in this district, Fish- er. They came here looking for blood, and after a desperate game, in which Powell only let twelve men hit and two walk, our rivals departed satisfied, for they had won by two scores. Gur third and concluding fall game was staged on the home diamond. In this game Mansfield easily outclassed Arrowsmith and won by a score of 9-3. Batteries were Powell and Ross for Mansfield, and Small and Mock for Arrowsmith. After the game the Domestic Science class gave a big feed for both teams. Arrowsmith left in great spirits, saying they would be back next year to carry home the bacon. Three games have been sched- uled so far for our spring season, a return game with Fisher and two games with Bellflower. -sRayn1ond Davidson. TRACK Last spring our team began active practice about the middle of March, and in April accepted an invitation to join in a tri meet to be held at Ma- homet. Because of inefficient equipment we were seriously handicapped in training, but we did our best with what we had. ln the meet, Powell won first place in the half mile and javelin throwing contest, second in the milcg Davidson took iirst inthe 440 yd. dash, second in the running broad jump and 50 yd. dash: Young finished second in the high jump, pole vault and standing broad jump. At the close of the contest we had won 45 of the 121 points. Because we did not receive application blanks in time, we did not enter the annual county track meet. 1923:
