Since that time interest in base- ball has been definitely on the upgrade. During the past sea- son Coach Iohnson was happy to report that more than 60 boys were present for average spring practice sessions. With this number of boys out each year the coach always has a nucleus for the coming season. It is predicted that the pop- ularity of baseball will continue, as more and more towns- people and students realize its great value in the athletic program.

Baseball Under Coach Oscar E. Iohnson, assisted by Mr. N. D. Vaughan, the Muskegon Heights Tigers in 1940 enjoyed the most successful season since the sport of baseball was intro- duced to this school. Coach Johnson will long be able to point with pride to the record compiled by the boys of last year's squad. Larry Kwolek played what was probably the leading role for the conquering Tigers. His stellar pitching performance of two victories against our ancient rivals, the Muskegon Reds, climaxed his brilliant career. Those two games will live long in the annals of local baseball. -,lj-igkj .. .3 vi, ' 'AA , 'Q 5 - . , .i if .Q s.vg5,l,5.,':,.-I- xvli.. , . I ,, 2 .
