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.

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. (living due thought to the string of excellent hurlers that have preceded him on the mound we don’t hesitate to say that “Ace” is every hit as good as the best of them. ith “Ace” holding down the position in the middle of the One H undred Fifty-six

obc baseball Season this move the Aggies had the better of it tor they were able to garner 11 runs in the remaining innings while the Saints were able to get blit • . I he game at least provided some good experience for the green men on the team. ST. MARY’S ir—BAKER 1 In the second inning the game was won when the Irish succeeded in getting in 8 runs. Baker's only run came in the second when the bases were filled. A hit. a couple of errors, and a walk with the liases loaded gave them their only tally. Bush had them at his mercy the rest of the game allowing but two hits and striking out 1 2 men. Ryan poled a homer in the third with two on base. ST. MARY’S S—HASKELL : Johnny Ryan held the Indians off while his mates were piling up a lead till the seventh and then took it easy. When he got in a hole in the ninth Bushev relieved him and retired the Indians with one run. All the Redskins together got only five hits, while John struck out nine of them. Seidl was the heavy hitter for the Irish with two hits out of two times up. The victory was costly as Geltz injured his knee and had to be replaced. Bush got the only extra base hit of the game, a double. ST. MARY’S 13- ST. J()ILVS I St. John’s was no match for the locals with Bushev on the mound. )nly four hits were made from his offerings and the only run came as a result of two errors in the eighth. Five runs were made in the first after which the Saints took it easy but scored almost at will anyway. Cooney was heavy hitter with five safeties in six attempts. W'hitey Smith had '• singles to his credit and Bushev earned a free dinner and haircut by circling the bases after a smash far over the left-fielder. ST. MARY’S )- SOCT1IWFSTFRX ; ST. MARY’S !)—SOUTHWESTERN • The first game was a ragged exhibition of baseball by both sides. Kelly took the mound duty but bad support caused his replacement in the second. Bushev took up the job and despite several error held the opposing hatters in check. At the end of the second the score was ?- » in favor of the Saints after which both teams settled down and played ball. John Ryan had the honor of pitching the second game and though wild at times had the better of the argument all the way. BUSIIKY TAOS A MAN AT HOME One Hundred Fifty-i ight
