THE STAR Base Ball COACH-JOSEPH BROWN. MANAGER-WILLIAM READY. CAPTAIN-FRED KILROY. Soon after the close of the basketball season the first call for baseball candidates was issued. A squad of almost fifty aspirants reported in response to the appeal. The first week or two of practice was confined to the gym under the critical eye of Joe Brown. Gradually the squad was cut down and those selected were put through the daily routine of practice at Delaware Park. Amongst those who succeeded in making the team were several newcomers who proved to be valuable assets, taking the places of those who left us by gradua- tion last June. Two freshman, Br-eckley and Bulger took regular positions in the infield. Beckley taking third and Bulger holding down firstg Frank Condon. a Junior, secured the shortstop berth. Walsh, Nemec and Healy, all Juniors, are showing up well in the outfield. Boehm, Sellers, Braun, Wanemaker and Zupa, all recruits, are performing in big league fashion. Hodge, Kilroy. McMahon, Lux and Cody, veterans of last year, are playing their regular fine brand of ball. On May 12th, St. Joe's traveled to the Lumber City to stack up against the strong N. Tonawanda nine. Minus the service of Hodge, our first string catcher, who was unable to be with us, our boys received a 13 to 9 trimming. Fred Klilroy pitched splendid ball but due to several errors on our part' the Tonawanda boys were donated five runs. Walsh, Memic, Bulger and Condon showed up well with the stick. In an nteresting game at Depew St. Joe's and the local high school battled to a 6-6 tie, a heavy downpour necessitating calling the game in the seventh before Depew could take their turn at bat. McMahon, occupying the mound, pitched good ball, his only bad inning being the first in which the Depew boy.s pushed across four runs, aided by some ragged fielding on our part. In the third, St. Joe'si evened up things by registering six times. McMahon gave way to Schreiner in the fifth. Condon, and Bulger each got a double in this game.

Joe Brown used practically the entire squad in a desperate effort to clinch the game and his strategy was rewarded. Our boys breezed along with an apparently safe lead until the ninth when the Frosh boys staged a rally netting seven ru.ns, thereby tieing the score. In the St. Joe's half of the tenth, Kilroy walked, went to third on Schreiner's single and scored on a bad throw by a Canisius infielder.
