The Delphian BASEBALL PLAYERS Francis Ankney Ank Catcher This was Ank's last year with us. He sure had plenty of power both in his bat and in his trusty right arm which could peg 'em to second with great ease. Lyle Gray Right Field Lyle surely will be missed on the team next year, for when he tossed them in from right Held they didn't have to be relayed. This little fact accounted for many an out. Eugene Wages Bud Center Field Bud could nab most any ily or grounder, that came his way, with one hand. And he sure swung- a mean bat which was always good for a safe hit. Doral McCartney Mick Pitcher Mick had a wicked arm and knew how to use it. He stepped into the pitcher's box and always filled it to perfection, H6l'9,S hoping we can find some one to fill his shoes next year. , Royden Moore Horseface Third Base Royden covered third base so well that it was useless for anyone to attempt to get his place. Two years more of play will make him eligible for the big league. Chester Jenkins Chet Captain Chet was one of the mainstays of the team. When he wasn't pitching, he played shortstop. We are sorry that the class of 1928 takes another victim. Charles Olmstead Chuck,' Center Fielder Chuck was the little boy who played a big game in center Held. Besides catch- ing flies, he could also hit. We are sorry to lose him. Fred Bierie Freddy Left Fielder and Second Base Fred could play either in the outfield or at second base. He was good at either place because he had the best peg of any one on the team. Freddy ' could also hit. The team will miss him. Evan Lewis Red Catcher Red was the big fellow who played behind the plate. Because of his accurate peg, few fellows ever stole base on him. Lewis was also good at hitting. We are sorry to lose him. Charles Trustdorf Chuck Short Stop One of the most difficult places to play was filled by this diminutive player. He was always on the job and did his part well. George Marsh Marshie First Base George's length was quite an asset in playing this position. We expect him to be a whiz this year. - Frank Bonnell Bonny Second Base Here, there, everywhere describes the way Frank covered. the territory in the vicinity of second base. When he is on the job, it is difficult to get anything past the second base. T Page sixty-one I 9 2 9

The Delphian TRACK TEAM 1928 Griffith, Richard, Mgr. Knauss, Don Downes, Bryce Sliaffer, llarley Gibson, Wfilliain lflfheatley, Ernest Born, Russell SCHEDULE In 1928 the track team took part in three meets. The lirst was at Mas- sillon, the second, at Uhrichsville, the third, at Uhrichsville. They also took part in the district meet at New Concord in which they took fifth place out of eight schools that had entered. In N. P. H. S. track work has been handicapped by the fact that We had no place to hold meets at home and no place to practice. But this year we hope for better results because we have a new track. l929 Page sixty-two
