Ti-ir: 1'iARD I-l.x1.l. '1'1s.xM, 1918 The little junior team at Bard Hall is making a record for itself for clever baseball and volumes of noise. A Bard Hall game brings out more loud yelling, more wild cheering and more general excitement than a world's series game. VVith a score 35 to 34 in Bard 1-lall's favor in the ninth inning the agony is intense when the enemy's slugger goes to bat, but when, like the famous Casey, he Hstroikes out, the climax is too much for the kids and the whole bunch goes into spasms of delirious and delicious joy. But joking aside, there is a genuine baseball talent at Bard I-lall which some day will come in handy on the Varsity. 154

Jsaselnall URING the winter the impression gained ground that we would not have much of a ball team this year, as most of last year's regulars graduated and no new stars were visible in the baseball sky, but when prac- tice began it became evident that after all the team wouldn't be so bad. Tina SHRAP- NRL goes to press too early to give a re- view of the season, but as the team is win- ning regularly everybody is welllsatisfied. As a matter of history and to keep the record straight the results of the games for 1917 are given below. Results uf Season of 1917 Sat., April 21 Y. M. A .... 1 Rutgers Reserves..
