They have won one game out of ten. This is understandable when we consider that the second team is made up mostly of ninth graders. They are not winning so many games but they are gaining experience for future year and they will make a very good first team.

The K.V.A.(Kalamazoo Valley Association), Is a new league which started in the 19l 6 season. It consists of six teams and they include: Mattawen, Kellogg, Plainwell, Comstock, Galesburg and Vicksburg. Our boys should have a very successful season this year too, having seven of the nine boys back in the lineup. Joe Orosz and Bernard Overacker were the two players who graduated last year. Those who are back are: Clyde Mumford as catcher, Phil Kimble as first baseman, Ken Stratton as second baseman, Sheldon fceed and Andy Chopp will alternate at shortstop, and bob Krajewskl will play third. In the out field we have Don Parrish, Jack Shon, Dick Bishop and Connie Burket. Phil Kimble, Sheldon V»eed and Andy Chopp will do most of the pitching with Clyde Mumford doing the back stopping.
