be Senior Baseball Tlffline S the majority of our first team stars hail from the Arts course the season is necessarily a short one for the baseball aggregation, the exams being over early in May. Nevertheless, good use is made of the limited time, and teams representing the best clubs in the city come to do battle with the double blue. Although many of last seasons stalwarts were gone, still with such men as Ryan, Canfield, O'Flaherty and McTague left, and the seconds from which to draft, material was not lacking for a team which would do honor to the international pastime. I The season opened on 'the college diamond with St. ul oseph's as the opposing sluggers. Although they were older and more experienced than the college nine, they were unable to hnd any weak spots, and St. Mikes finished at the large end of a 7-6 score. The young players failed to show any stage fright in their initial appearance, and worked in well with the old guard. The next game was with Newman Hall, and again fortune smiled upon us. lt was in this game that Dave Mulligan, our premier pitcher, made the longest hit of the season, driving the ball clear over the church almost to Queens Park. In- deed it is doubtful if many longer hits have been made at the Tsland Stadium. The Post Ofiice and Parliament teams also fell before the onslaught of O'Flaherty Qcaptainj, McTague, Ryan and Pocock, who handle the bat in real Baker style. Pocock afterwards played for St. Patricks team, which won the senior city championship, and he also led the league in batting. The season ended with the Post Office game, as the exams were on, and the boys had something else to bother them. Tn conclusion we must say that it was a very successful season, and one which brought to light many players who are destined to cover themselves with glory in Americas national pastime. -J.
