THE POTTER SHIELD WILLIAM WARREN 10. POTTER 19 This game was played on our field on Wednesday, the 26th of Marc? All, tie regulars were started with the exception of the battery. Tlielgame was a arce ash. e start. The first team hit about when they pleased, but their fielding was any mg but what it should have been. At the end of the third inning Dido started taking the regulars out and putting the scrubs in their places, and in the sixth inning the whole scrub team was in the field. William Warren took a. brace in the last two innings and threatened to beat up the scrubs, but they were finally squelched. TAMALPAIS UNION HIGH 1. POTTER 4. On April 7th we met our old rivals of Tamalpais Union High down on our field. After a week's vacation we proceeded to jump right in and cop off the game from the start. At no time did Tamalpais look dangerous. Lermen allowed but one hit in the whole nine frames and that came in the third inning. The feature of the game was the triple play pulled off in the third inning. With a man on first and second, the batter tried to bunt and popped up a little fly instead, which was caught by Summers, who shot it to Esberg, who quickly threw to Newbauer,com- pleting the play. Hits were made by Sutton CZD, Newbauer CQD, Doolittle and Lermen ' COMMERCE 3. POTTER 15. On Thursday, April 10th, we met Commerce at Southside Park. This game resulted in more of a slaughter than anything else. In the second inning we put three runs across and then came back strong in the third by pilling up six more, and then to make the score look a little more attractive we put two more across in the fourth and four more in the fifth. The team had a great time fattening their batting averages, every man getting at least one hit. Sutton was the heavy hitter of the day, smashing out a triple and a homer. Somers also poled out a pretty homer. Griffin deserves due credit for his pitching, holding down our opponents to six well-scattered hits, and striking out twelve in the seven frames. Fuller's work at short and Newbauer's at second is surely worthy of mention. The final score was: R H E Potter ....... , 15 10 2 Commerce ....... , 3 6 4 Batteries: Potter-Criflin and Summers. Commerce-Costa, Dean, Castle and Paynter. SACRED HEART 1. POTTER 8. . On April 15th we met Sacred Heart at Ewing Field. Up to the sixth inning the score was undecided. At the end of the third inning the score was still 0 to 0. In the fourth Sacred Heart put across a run, but we came right back in our half of the inning and tied the score. The fifth still saw the score 1 to 1 but in our 7 half of the sixth we pulled off the old reliable squeeze play, ending up the inning with three runs to the good. From this time on Lermen allowed but one hit and that came in the ninth inning after two were gone, while his team-mates ,were steadily making sure of the game by making it one more to the good in the seventh and three more in the eighth. 7 diummefsi HS usual, played in his old steady form and certainly deserves due ere 1 .

THE POTTER SHIELD u SAN MATEO 9. POTTER 1 This game was played down in San Mateo on their home grounds. We were outclassed from start to finish, both in fielding and in batting. Griffin started for us but was supported very poorly, and Lermen was sent to the rescue in the third inning. The game was void of thrills, as nothing exciting happened on either side. One incident that deserves mentioning happened in the last of the sixth. With a man on third and on second, Lermen was hit for a single to left field. The man on third scored and the man on second was only stopped by a beautiful peg from Doo- little, which was caught on the pick-up by Summers, just in time to throw the fellow out. We almost started things humming in the last inning when Fuller, D., batting for Somers, singled to left field. Then to pepper things up .Sutton followed by slamming safely to center field, while Fuller was held at second. Then Newbauer line-drived to the pitcher, who didn't have time to double anybody up. Summers was then walked, filling the bases with only one out. 'Lermen struck out, and Harrell was walked, forcing in a run. Fuller, F., hit a pop fly in back of third, ending the game. LOWELL 11. POTTER 6 This was our third game of the season and resulted in our defeat. The game was played on our grounds on Friday, the 21st of March. Again we got off to a bad start, seven runs being chalked up against us in the first two innings, and nine out of the eleven runs made by our opponents were scored after two were out. In the fifth inning three runs were made on a freak home run, the ball being lost in the grass in center field. A double play made by Fuller assisted by Esberg was the feature fielding stunt of the day. On the whole, fielding by the infielders on both sides, was very erratic, chiefly due to the condition of the infield. Sutton and Ralston of Lowell were the heavy hitters of the day, each of them getting three safe singles. Fuller and Esberg each grabbed two apiece. The bat- teries were: Lowell-Ralston and Ratner, Potter-Lermen, Griffin and Summers. LIOK-WILMERDING 3. POTTER 0 This defeat was taken very much to heart by the team, as we should right- fully have copped the game. On the whole, it was a good fast ball game. We were held down to two hits, while Lermen held our opponents down to four hits, of which two were made in the first inning. The game was played at the Jackson Play- grounds, on a decidedly good field. We should have scored in the second inning, when Doolittle opened up with a two-bagger between left and center field. Somers was walked, and they both advanced a base on Fulton's out. The signal was then given for the squeeze play, and Newbauer laid down a bunt to the pitcher, but Doolittle was too slow in getting started and was called out at the plate, spoiling the play. . . Besides Doolittle's hit, Sutton cracked out a clean single, making our total of two hits. The final score was: R H E Potter ...... - 0 2 Lick-Wilmerding ......- - - 3 4 Batteries: Potter-Lermen and Summers. . Lick-Wilmerding-Glover and Johnson. Svlsvty-three
