Varsify Baseball HE 1930 squad turned in one of the best rec- ords that any Violet diamond team has made in years. Of the 22 contests engaged in, the team won 15 and lost seven. Standing out were the victories over Columbia, St. john's and Rutgers. The Fordham combination broke even, while Army, Pennsylvania, Holy Cross, N. Y. A. C., Yale, and the Quantico Marines beat the Violet warriors. Coach McCarthy's outfit scored one hundred and forty-six runs during the season, while hold- ing their opponents to one hundred and two rallies. The team's batting overage was a fair .259. There will be quite a call for new material this year. The graduation of most of the veteran infielders leaves McCarthy with the difficult task of filling their boots. Coach Robert's freshman nine, however, turned in a promising record of six victories and three defeats. All three losses were at the hands of powerful teams and by the narrowest of margins. The cub team will be able to furnish some fairly good material for this year's pitching staff. Bob McNamara, the galloping, line-smashing sophomore back of the 1930 Gridmen, is a pitcher of no mean ability. With him will be John Symanzyk, a southpaw artist, Zignor, Herzog and Shearer, another left hander. The addition of jimmy Lee, who operated behind the bat so successfully for last year's yearlings, will be a great asset to the Varsity bat- tery squad. The rest of the infield will probably ,V , be taken care of by some of last year's substitutes. 5 For the outfield, the frosh furnished some excellent material in the shape of MacDonald, one of Bob's football mates, and last season's slugging sensation, Babe Boggini, who will aspire to fill Kastner's old patrol in center field. If only that infield can be patched up we'll have a dandy team for 1931. 195

Nine games out of a program of twenty-one games were lost in the 1927 season and the following year the team won fifteen of the twenty diamond encounters. Last season the McCarthy-coached nine won-sixteen of their twenty-two games. The 1930 outfit tallied one hundred and forty-six runs while their opponents crossed the Violet home plate one hundred and two times. The team had a hitting average of .259. Victories over Columbia, Manhattan, City College, Duke, Villanova, St. john's, Rutgers, Stevens and the alumni were the bright spots on the 1930 record.
