A truly capable aggregation, formidable in every respect, and well able to hold its own against some of the strongest opposition the W. I. A. A. can muster, that was Racine High School's base- ball team for the Season of 1925. The locals won all their games last year, and in doing so held up the record established by the nine of the preceding season. An undefeated baseball nine for two years is a record to be well proud ofg and if the Black and Gold warriors can uphold the record again this year, the school is well able to boast of a first rate base- ball squad. Al Hughes was the mainstay of the Racine organiza- tion last year, the scrappy hurler making an excellent start at the opening of the season by pitching a no-hit match against Janesville. The second match with the Blues resulted in a second victory for the local pill tossers when they won a hard fought match after Degnan laid low a homer with the bases full, but he forgot to place his clamp on third base and none of the runs counted. Neverthe- less, the locals had totaled enough runs during the other innings to take the match. Williams was a consistent hitter during the season and Witt- kowski proved to be a valuable man at the backstop berth. IIIOIH ' fxg . 3, yf c'g. , fi a ' . , gc, Fai M v.. xv fr , f , i 'L CAPT.
