A. D. Horne. He never missed a game, but Mac thought he could do without him at Whitewater. Jack played with the high school team at Fairmont, M inn. Walter J. Stransky. He is from Racine, but he is fast at short just the same. He would handle some hot ones. E. E. Curtis. He’s from a little town of New Holstein, Wis., but could play ball just the same.

 0w , r » »i ? % 2 a THE 1920 eMF; ZZ' M' ''' Even Levenson starts to pack the bats but the next moment is pulling them out of the bag. The batter has connected and they have fumbled which makes him safe at first. The next man safely makes a hit and the runner goes to third. The next man makes a hit after the runner at first reached second, which brings in the two winning runs. The next was out but it gave us a five to four lead. St. Johns tried hard to make a run but was unable to get past second. Oh, but it was exciting, but the question which took the boys after the game, was where Levenson with his broken bat had gone in such a short time. The last that was seen of him, he was on the other side of the dust between the St. Johns cadets and him, going full sped for the T. M. E. R. L. station. S. O. E. VS. WHITEWATER NORMAL The last game of the season took place on the Hamilton field at White- water Normal, Tuesday, June 3rd. They had one of the strongest teams in the state and suffered only one defeat previous to our game. Kochanek, the southpaw twirler for the Engineers, held the Whitewater boys to 4 hits and walked 3 men, and several times caught the Normal play- ers in a too big lead off first base, thus holding them on the bag on every delivery. Reynolds, the little second baseman for the Engineers, ruined Whitewater’s chances for scoring in the seventh inning when lie caught their man on second sleeping. Horne of the Engineers, used the stick to good ad- vantage and helped S. O. E. on the running game. All the boys worked well, but it was hard for Schroeder to keep his mind on his playing, for he was over near the Normal girl's bleacher. But who could help it. who could help working his hardest to show the girls what sort of fellows they had with them at the Normal. And the Engineers-sure did for they brought the goat back with three to two as the price mark. The Normal put up a good scrappy game and took defeat like good sports. Thus the first year of baseball at S. O. E. came to an end, the team having been defeated only once and setting a record that future teams will try to attain. Line-up of teams: S. O. E.
