BASEBALL-i 946 Although the Plalnville Blue Devils baseball team surrendered the State Championship, they had a record of 7 wins and 4 losses. The first game of the season was with Western Hills Re- serves. Every boy on the team saw action in this game as Sonny Tibergheln and Bill Crigler pitched the Blue Devils to a 7 to 0, no hit, no run game. Plainville then came Up against Ter- race Park and made it victory number two by beating them 5 to A in a close game. Purcell was the first Class A victim of the Plainsmen who beat them 7 to 6. Bill Crigler pitched a good game, but was relieved by Lip Ludwig in the last inning. In the next game Plainvilie was beaten by Anderson 5 to 4. Terrace Park took revenge and beat us 7 to 2 even though Jim Wilkinson had a perfect day at the bat with three hits in three times up to the plate. Sonny Tiberghein then pitched a three hit, shut out against Norwood while the Blue Devils were able to get four runs. The Plainsmen took care of another Class A school as they beat St. Xavier 9 to l. The next game was with Milford but was not oHicial because it only lasted three innings and was stopped by rain. Reading, who later became the State champs, was the next foe. As soon as the team arrived, they had to start and weren't glVen any chance to practice or warm up. Reading took advantage of this by getting three runs in the first inning, but in the fifth inning Plainville scored four runs to go Into the lead. In the sixth, Reading tied it up. After this neither team seemed to be able to score until Reading broke the ice by winning out in the eleventh inning. The final score was 5 to 4 and was the best contested game of the year. Plainville then took the measure of St. Bernard, H to l, with Blll Crigter doing a fine iob on the mound. St. Bernard collected 3 hits while the Blue Devils collected 12. The Plains- men then defeated Milford 7 to 'I. Then came the district meet in which Plalnville was beaten by Terrace Park, 5-0. Charles Ludwig got the only hit for Plainville when he pinch-hit. Sonny Tiberghein had the highest batting aver- age of the team with an average of .371. Gene Lentz followed close behind with an average of .368. Jim Told had an average of .351, and Jim Wilkinson's average was .319. Charles Lud- wig was at but four times, collected 3 hits for an exceptional average of .750. The season as a whole was a successful one. TRACKel 946 Last year Doc's boys again brought honor to Plainville by placing as State runners-up for the third time in the eight years the school has been in existence. Next year the boys hope to be the bride instead of the bridesmaid, a goal which all their followers hope they will attain. Bill Anthony was again a member of the All- Ohio track team. He placed second in the State meet and in the 120 yard high hurdle. Taking many honors at State, he also placed third in the 220 yard low hurdles and sixth in broad iump. Jim Jordan, our other member of the All- Ohio track team, is credited with having broken the school's pole vaulting record in the State meet. This record was 11 ft. and now is il'8 t He ran the iOO-ZOO-and also on the 880 relay team. 65 Jim Anthony was third highest scorer of the team. Jim probably is the third best hurdler in the State since he always followed his brother to the tape. He also ran short dashes, broad iumped, and ran on the 880 relay team. Dean Kaiser, said to be one of the most prom- tsing Sophomores, ran the 100 yard, 200 yard dashes and on the 880 yard relay. Don Ferns for four years has been running the distances. This year he concentrated on the mile relay and the 440. Ben Cohee, another promising sophomore, ran the high and low hurdles and the mile relay. Bob Allen, a newcomer to track, copped 3rd at Miami and 3rd in the district. He is looked upon as one of the future great track stars of Plainville.
