BOYS, BASEBALL With the coming of spring the boys at once began talking baseball and Stamford's possibilities. Numerous vacancies made by graduation of 1928 veterans offering positions to newcomers brought a large number of candi- dates out when the first call for practice was given. To date the team has lost their two opening league games after a victory in a practice game with Dav- enport. Hobart took the measure of the local boys in the opening game of the year by the score of 14 to 2. Ragged support in the infield behind Pitcher Hiscox enabled the victors to chalk up an easy victory. The following week Delhi was engaged on our home diamond, but this time it was not the support so much as the pitching. Both Decker and Hiscox, candidates for the pitch- ing berth, are willing but lack the necessary experience of a good twirler.
