The team was started two years ago under the coaching of Mr. Walter Bush, and by special permission of the Garden City Golf Club the team members are allowed to practice and to hold their matches on the course. The 1958 team finished the season with a one and two record, losing two matches to an extremely strong Poly Prep team but win- ning over Stony Brook in a well played match over a wet and muddy course. William Johnson, the captain of the team, together with Robert Dill, Barry Brous, Richard Gilmore, and David Steele were graduated in June leaving a bleak outlook for the 1959 season. The only returning regulars are Edward Holmer and Walter Freese. However, there are some fine prospects who, with a little practice, should play well in the following years. Members of the team who received letters are Johnson, Brous, Dill, Freese, and Holmer. . . 5.51.-Q Brown, Cuic, Levy, Bayles, Biddle, Hof, Hough. arsitg Cgiennis last spring St. Paul's organized a tennis team, its first since l953. Fr. Feringa was the moving force behind the team and the man who supervised the daily practice, while Ted Martini, professional coach from the Cherry Valley Club, and Mr. Douglas, a former St. Paul's player and our present registrar, did the coaching. Forty candidates turned out for the team. However, at first things were a little difficult, for our six new tennis courts were in the proc- ess of being laid. These courts, of an asphalt mixture, enable the team to play in all kinds of weather. However, until they were fin- ished the best team prospects practiced at the St. Mary's courts. During the season the team played seven matches with a record of two wins and five losses, not a bad start for a green group. The team defeated Adelphi Academy and Stony Brook and lost to Hack- ley, Horace Mann, Poly Prep, and Riverdale. At the end of the season letters were awarded to Colton Hough, Dankmar Cuic, Thomas Rushmore, Michael Spitzer, Heagen Bayles, Gary Hansen, and William Biddle. Of these lettermen five have re- turned to school and will be playing in the i959 season. Prospects thus look very fair for a good season this year. 63

The Saints, defending lvy League Champions, had hopes of repeating again. However, it seems that the loss of Bill Stetson, whose pitch- ing record was l0-l and batting average .471 , and numerous errors cost us many ball games. ln the opening game against Adelphi, Frank Nicolai pitched a 6-0, no-hit victory. Disappointment came when the Saints proceeded to drop the next four to Hackley, 3-0, Horace Mann, 13-3, Poly Prep, 5-2, and Stony Brook, 6-2. Hackley was able to score three unearned runs in the first inning, iust enough for a triumph. Ten errors allowed nine unearned runs to be scored by Horace Mann. Three errors were committed in the Poly game, while thirteen errors were the rule for the Stony Brook game. The games with Adelphi and Trinity were won ll-l and 4-3 respectively. Poly again tripped us 4-3 with three unearned runs. Stony Brook beat us 6-4. The final game of the season we won over Trinity, ll-9. Carver, Mallett, and Templeton were the leading batters. Letters were awarded to Bardi, Buchanan, Carroll, Carver, Hein, T. Hough, Mallett, J. Moss, Nicolai, Rueck, Stone, Templeton, Willoughby, and manager Garment. 62
