N YI THE POTTER SHIELD Baseball g The 1919 baseball season has been a great success. This is the first time the school has taken up baseball with such a spirit. In spite of being handicapped by the loss of Wheeler, Mailliard, Hitchcock, McNear, Folger and Abbott, the 1919 baseball team is about the best the school has ever turned out. This is due to Mr. Humphries, our coach, who has shown us that he is behind us at all times With his everlasting pep. Dido has Worked hard on the team from the very start and a great deal of credit is due him. The season opened about the latter part of February and from the start a big squad has turned out faithfully. Somers was shifted over to third to fill the gap left by Mailliard, and Tommy Newbauer was picked to play Bur's,' old position. With Esberg on first and Frankie Fuller on short the infield certainly has shown up strong. The trio composed of Doolittle, Sutton and Harrell presented the best hitting outfield this school has ever seen. All three are almost sure fly chasers and all three have good husky arms. With Lermen playing his third year onthe first team, and with Griffin, the pitching staff looks just as strong as ever. Charlie deserves a lot of credit. He has been out faithfully' every single day, and surely deserves every victory he earns. And With Summers, Who starred behind the bat on last year's team,'We have presented one of the best baseball aggregations that ever represented the Blue and White. At the time the SHIELD goes to press, Jack Sutton is the leading hitter and Frankie Fuller the'leading run getter. The first team is represented as follows: Harrell ....... Right Field Esberg ...... First BSLSG Doolittle . . Left Field Sutton . Center Field Sgmgrs , B386 Fuller, F. . Short Stop Newbauer . . . . Second Base Summers .... - C2V0Ch91' Lermen CCaptainj l Q Q Pitchers Griffin l Fuller, D. ........ ' . . . Utility The season was opened formally on March 5th, when we played the University High School of Berkeley. This being our first game, the poor showing of the team on the Whole can probably be accounted for. The fielding was very erratic on both sides. In spite of it all We copped off the game in the end by a score of 13 to 8. The main feature of the game was the double squeeze play, which worked out beautifully. We had to stop the game at the end of the sixth inning on account of the oncoming darkness. Lermen and Summers were our battery throughout the game, while our opponents used a variety of pitchers. . In the fourth inning, Summers tried to take off the leg of the pitcher with a red-hot drive Which bounced off his ankle. Esberg's timely bunting deserves special mention. Sixty-one
