THOMAS MURPHY—“Spuds —Play-ing his first year on the squad, covered the initial sack like a veteran. His timely hits were always a feature of the game. We arc looking for great things from him in the next few years. NEIL RITENHOUSE—”Rit” is the man behind the team. No doubt it was through inspiration that he was picked to manage this year’s squad. He was a willing worker and always pushing for the team and the school. WALTER CONWAY. Coach — “Coach’s” second year in our midst has been a successful one, to say the least. The showing of the baseball team has emphasized his ability as Coach of the Blue and White. Here’s hoping he will be with us many more years. THOMAS CURRAN—“Senor” covered both the center and right fields in a way that ruined many a safe hit. He saw to it, however, that the opposing fielders had plenty of exercise when he wielded the club. LOUIS A. McEVOY—“Luke” was a member of the pitching staff and already has one letter, but sickness during part of the season, kept him inactive. JOSEPH MORRISEY— Joe” always knew his place on every play. He could patrol the outergardens with ability when the need occurred. He has one of the leading batting averages.

SAMUEL McALLISTER—“Big Jim” —is the “Old Reliable ” He always turns in a good steady game from the pitcher’s box, and his brainy coaching of the bases is responsible for many scores. This is his third year as a member of the twirling staff. LAWRENCE TH El LAN—“Larry” repeated his performance of last year. He did things to the ball that made it seem almost invisible to the opposing players. His batting average is well up in the running. FRANCIS TRIPE—This is “Fran’s” first year on the squad. Although he did not get much of a chance to show his wares that right-angle break to his curves looks very promising to say the least. HARRY BRAZEAU—“Ha hails from elite Boston and handles the hot corner in an educated manner. He has a disconcerting way of tagging a base runner. When he gets on he is never caught napping. This is his second year on the team. DIAL. ANAUAL JOHN MORRISEY—“Jack” kept up the good reputation of the Morrisey family by filling in any vacant positions in the infield or outfield. When sent in as a pinch hitter he usually produced results. One Hundred Thirty-Six x x ;rrx yj xy, x V X,

 ATHLETICS LEAGUE BASEBALL The baseball leagues this year aroused a great deal of interest among the students. A large number of games were played. The frequently upsets and exciting contests brought many spectators to the side lines every “rec day. The class teams were split up into two divisions, the College and Fourth High classes being in First League and the others in second. The four Bush League aggregations were captained by Loftus, Ross, Ramacciotti and McCann. In First League the Sophomores were undefeated up to the middle of May, although they won out in two games by only one run. Howell, pitcher, and Morris, catcher, did fine work and the hitting of DeNoya accounted for many runs. Fourth Classical and Fourth Scientific were the most dangerous contenders. Weber and Wade, of the former, made what was perhaps the l)est battery in the League. Jones and Bourg played stellar ball for Fourth Scientific. The Senjun? were always to be feared, and walloped Fourth Scientific by hitting savagely behind Ed Kirchner’s fine hurling. Second League provided a number of upsets. Third English tore up all opposition until they met Second A. Pitchers Gillin and Griesmcr, of the latter, seemed to have the Indian sign on the Third English sluggers and set them down twice. However, they were in turn beaten bv Third A and Second English and the race developed into a free for all, with Third A and Third English having the best chance. Loftus and McCann were staging a merry contest in the Bush League when this went to press. Great praise is due to Mr. Meyer, S. J., for his efficient handling of the leagues. Dial and Lonergan proved their worth as umpires and were not mobbed during the entire season. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BANQUET 5 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Thirty-Eight
