Seidl. Bushev. Tom Brennan, Ryan and Joe Greye. The coaches used these as a nucleus in building the new team. W inning the Conference baseball championship is traditional at St. Mary’s. The string of consecutive championships has been run so high that the first dates hack to the ante-bellum days when Connie Mack had his million dollar infield. Some of the teams have been really excellent. It has been years since a conference team was able to gather in a victory from St. Mary’s sluggers. Due to the failure of Len Sehawe to return to school last fall it was necessary to select another captain for the nine. 'The letter-men went into brief conference and announced that the man of their choice was “Ace” Bushey, famous for his exploits on the basketball court and possessing no little fame on the diamond by reason of his string of victories last year and his no-hit, no-run game against Southwestern.

Kelly of Bucyrus. the pitching department caused the coaches no worry. Behind the plate I£ddie Scidl had everything his own way and did a nice job of holding down “Ace” and his corps of hinders. W'hitey Smith has been assigned the keystone sack position and is holding forth in great style. Paul Cooney is regularly stationed at second and ably takes everything that comes his way. At short, we have another new arrival in the person of Geltz. whose stature is anything hut an indication of his ability. Although small, he covers a lot of ground, scoops them out of the dirt, and throws to first like a veteran. “Gcg” Smith finally won out in the race for the hot corner position. His specialty is pop-up infield flies, and fouls and no matter how high they are, they are duck-soup for “Geg.” The outfield is nicely taken care of hv Brungardt.
