NDER the direction of Mr. Brewer, base- ball coach, and Mr. Tiefel, assistant coach, Morton's baseball team competed in it's first season since 1948. The Morton squad opened the season with a close 8-6 Victory over Manilla. Sam Frye, Frank Strother, and James Childers of Morton had two hits apiece with Strother's triple and Frye's double the only extra base hits of the game. Morton then traveled to Mays and was defeat-ed 3-1. Morton's only run was scored by Lorenza Beard who walked, stole second and third base and crossed the plate when Wendell Bragg got the Tiger's only hit of the game. The next game on Morton's list was with the Arlington Wildcats which ended with the Tigers on the short end with a score of 14-1. The Tigers scored their only run in the first inning with a walk by Larry Rupp who moved to second on a single by Daniel Beard, and scored on two wild pitches. On September 24, Milroy hosted the Tigers in a sparse hitting affair and Milroy came out on top with a score of 3-1. On September 27, New Salem visited the local diamond and returned home with an 18-1 victory. Morton scored it's only run when Ralph Curtis singled, stole second and scored on Sam Frye's single. Morton's final game was with Arlington, in which Morton was eliminated from the Rush County Tournament. The Tigers played one of th-eir best games of the year, but were defeated by the Wildcats 9-6. The young team showed much promise for the development into a fine squad. Their pitching and hitting power gave indications of a very successful season next year.
