Because baseball and track both come in the spring of the year, the number of athletes out for either of these sports is somewhat smaller than it would be if there were only one sport. Perhaps that is the reason that the track team is usually somewhat weaker than any of the other teams. Nevertheless, this year’s team defeated both Fisher and Onarga in dual meets, took second place in a triangular meet with Rantoul and Gibson, and made a better-than-average showing in the Wauseca league meet. Edward Spencer, Richard Klover, and Allan Lundahl entered the district meet in their respective events.

I nder the tutelage of Deloss agner, the baseball season again proved to be successful. Despite inclement weather which necessitated several game postponements, the nine won four games out of five starts. The team consists of Captain Sullivan, who alternated as catcher or pitcher; Baker, who held down the first base sack when not pitching; Houston, shortstop; Anderson, third base; Tieman, left field; and Wyman, in the center field garden; Froyd, at first; Carlson, at second; and Rodeen, in right field. The last three named are the returning regulars for next year. Snyder, Yevig and Thilmony should also help the team turn in another series of victories when baseball season rolls around again. Games played up to May 9th: Paxton 7 Buckley 0 Paxton 21 Loda 0 Paxton 5 Piper City 2 Paxton 4 Cissna Park 2 Paxton 5 Thawville 6
