ATHLETICS fete 0 VARSITY BASEBALL Once more the Blue-White diamond stars have won the Kansas Conference Championship. This is the eighth consecutive state title in baseball to be won by the Saints. The Varsity this year ably upheld the St. Mary’s reputation. They presented a well balanced team possessing equal power on offense and defense. The season opened on Easter Monday l eforc a large crowd of visitors with Haskell Indians as opponents. The Braves won 10-8. The Saints then settled down to business and won seven straight before they were stopped by Oklahoma University on May 2. In that game the Sooncrs opened an attack on McDonnell in the first inning, scored three runs and drove him from the Iwx in the third. Theilan held them in check until the ninth when they scored five more runs winning 11-4. The Kansas Aggies were defeated a second time on May 5, in a close game by a 2-1 score. In order to show that the home grounds made no difference in their playing, the Saints took a trip westward after trouncing Washburn 16-1. On this trip they won two games from Hays, one a fourteen inning affair, and one from Bethany at Lindsborg.

 BASEBALL SQUAD PATRICK H. SLATTERY—“Pat”— the diminutive captain of this year’s baseball team, in this his fourth year on that famous aggregation played his usual stellar game in left field. He was graduated simultaneously from both the baseball and the scholastic field this June, but we will always remember him as a sterling sportsman and a man who always had the best interest of the school and the team at heart. JOHN J. ROSE—The “Jack” of football, basketball, and baseball fame, also has been lost via graduation this year. His spectacular work at shortstop and his “stuff with the stick” has put a fitting close to his seven year sojourn here. It is with sad hearts that we see him go. WALTER POPE—“Sugar Foot”—the third of the graduates on this year’s team proved himself both an outfielder and an infielder of marked ability. This was his first year on the squad, but he gained the applause of the fans. JOHN H. McDON.NELL—“Shino — the speed-ball artist from “The Bay State,” gave some of the prettiest exhibitions of mound work that it has ever been our pleasure to witness. When he wasn't in the box, he was in center field, and there in big league style. The way he hit the ball was responsible for many runs. LEONARD SCHAWE—“Lcn”—made the squad as a pitcher, played the first game of the season at third and since then behind the bat. This is “Lcn’s” first year as a backstop. He shows promise of becoming another “Walsh” or a “Dowling.” DIAL ANAUAL One Hundred Thirty-Five 4
