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.

mach Ream anb fbarriets T had been predicted at the beginning of the present year that this would be a real live one in the history of St. Michaels, and this prediction was helped along by the advent of the college into a new line of athletic endeavor. namely, that of field sports. Although the team has no championship to show as a result of its efforts, still the satisfaction of at least being strong com- petitors has amply reimbursed the members of it. Further- more, the team was at a disadvantage in that it had started late to train, and so was lacking in this respect. As a result they were not able to enter many of the events of the Intercollegiate track meet held at the University Stadium on October 22. However, the fighting spirit was there as usual, and had it not been for competing against more experienced men the honors in the one-mile run would have come to St. Michaels In the Inter-Faculty Harrier race held on October 31, how- ever, St. Michaels really exceeded all expectations. The race started from the Rosedale Athletic Field, over a course of six miles: that is, three miles out and the same distance back. The first six runners to finish were to represent the University in the Intercollegiate race held at Queens a week later, so that the competition was very keen. Our boys had worked hard to get in the best possible condition for this event, and Messrs. Sheehan and Arland ably upheld the honor of the college by capturing eighth and tenth places respectively from a field of twenty-two runners. The rest of the team finished strong and had plenty of go in them at the finish. The result of this race was more than gratifying, as this was the first team from St. Michaels ever to participate in the Harrier race, and practically the first team to represent her in the Inter-Faculty meet. in conclusion, then, it is only fair that the members of the track team, and their able manager, Mr. Tansey, who work- ed hard in this capacity, be congratulated heartily on their splendid showing in the past season, and also to express the wish that we may achieve greater glory for old St. Michaels in this sport in the future, and that she may turn out her share of athletes in this line, as she has men who excelled in almost every other branch of athletics in the past.
