z M THE 1920 EMF- 8» S. O. E. VS. MILWAUKEE NORMAL The only home game played by the S. O. E. baseball team last season, was played against the Milwaukee State Normal School at Washington park. This was the first game of the season and the first game that some players of the S. O. E. nine had ever participated in. At first they were a little weary but soon buckled down and played a hard game. The diamond was better than they had been accustomed to, as all of the practice had taken place on the filled in strip of land of Juneau park, or the old drill grounds near the Northwestern depot. The game was exciting from start to finish. The Engineers were unable to hit the ball at the right moment, so did not succeed in pulling a run across the rubber during the game. The Normal team crossed it six times. This defeat was a good thing in one way, for the team, as they buckled down and worked harder and harder each day so that they might bring back victory. It also inspired the rooters, as they saw the possibilities of a good team and knew they needed support. From then on the team received the best of support, which helped to bring it to the front as a winner. S. O. E. VS. PIO NONA COLLEGE The Engineers, after brushing up with their loss to the Normal, took the T. M. E. R. L. interurban to St. Francis to play Pio Nona College May 3rd. It was a short trip and the team was accompanied by the same rooters that had been backing it. Grey pitched for the Engineers, obtaining twelve strike outs. The game was very good from every standpoint, except that of Pio Nona's, for they thought we were getting too many scores. Schroeder was the heavy boy on the stick that (lav. but all seemed able to find the pitchers as soon as they were changed. It was an easy game and our joyous rooters brought back a score of 13 to 5. S. O. E. VS. ST. JOHNS May 17 found Our Engineers again on the upward path. It was sure a hot game, fought every minute and not settled until it was over. About one hundred accompanied the team on their trip to Delafield. It was a jolly bunch and they put into the team the pep that won the day. Many a girl along the way fell for the cry, “Ain’t she a la la.” “Ah!” Just ask the crowd that raised the dust. Even the conductor tried to leave us behind on account of our noise, but soon smoked the peace pipe when some of the warriors .showed signs of battle. When the crowd arrived at their destination, they were met by a cadet, who showed them the path to the buildings and field and showed the team to the dressing rooms. Soon the team was out in their togs. Just before the royal battle, a dress parade was held by the cadets, after which the cadet team came to conquer S. O. E. with their military science and tactics. This proved a failure. Koch an Ck pitched for the Engineers and obtained eleven strikeouts. It was a hard fought game. St. Johns being always a little ahead of our men. At the end of the eighth, St. Johns were ahead four to three. The be- ginning of the ninth looked good for the team. They were starting to fill the bases but alas they were caught. Two men out and the batter two strikes ! aw Page Three Hundred Eighty-seven
