In their first match with Dickinson High we were victorious. All matches were won and the score was 4-0. Next they played Perkiomen whom they tied, 3-3. Three singles matches were lost, while one single and the two douhles matches were won. Matches are to be played with Newark Prep, Pecldie, Rider College, Trenton High, and Wenonah Academy. Several return contests have been arranged with some of the alnove-named schools. Manager Anderson deserves a lot of praise for the work he has done in fixing up the tennis courts and arranging the schedule. 78

THE PENS!-:MAN BASEBALL Captain, JOHN L. S. COOKE, ju. Manager, ANGEL R1vERo Coach, H. C. Go1 rsHALK bl. CooKE H. HOFFMAN J. PEARSON E. PICKEN F. EATON E. IRWIN PIROZZI H. SKED GONZALEZ A. IVIAGILL E. PLIESTER J. SWEEL H12 baseball season is young and if our team continues to do as well later as they are doing now our chance for a championship club will be good. Baseball practice started in March when a large number of candidates turned out. Captain Cooke, Irwin, and Hoffman were the veterans from last year's aggregation. An abundance of new material was found. Sweel is a catcher hard to beat, Irwin displays his talent on first, Picken at second base is a wonder, Pierson is our fiashy short, while little Pirozzi covers the hot corner. In the outer pastures we find Hoffman, a fielder that never misses. Along with him are Sked, Magill, Gonzalez, and F. Eaton, all of whom are good outfielders. Captain Cooke plays a number of positions, but in our opinion is better in the outfield. Pliester is a catcher of no mean repute. The pitching staff is the best we have had in years. It consists of Picken, Sked, and Gonzalez. Our first game was with Newark Prep, which we won, 4-3. Picken twirled and allowed but three hits. Trenton Normal was taken over by 5-3 score. Gonzalez started, but was soon replaced by Picken. Picken won his own game by crashing a double with two on in the fifth inning. Sked pitched the last two innings. Hun School was defeated 7-5 in a hard fought game. Pennington got off to an early lead which they held throughout the game. Sked pitched a wonderful game. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Peddie, Trenton Normal, Ursinus College Reserves, Perkiomen, and Wenonah. Manager Rivero and his two able assistants, Angevine and Sergeant, can be seen every day at work on the diamond, which is now in excellent condition. , 77
