BASEBALL TEAM The Stonewall Baseball Team was organized in 1942 under the able direction of Coach B. R. Harper. The team became affiliated with the Frederick—Clarke Baseball League in that same year. Our entrance into the League increased the number of members to seven. Although Coach Harper had to start from “scratch” in organizing a team, he did a splendid job considering the fact that he had only a few experienced players. In 1942, 1943, and again in 1944, we weren’t able to secure many victories from the other members of the League, but in numerous instances we put up such “stiff” resistance and “scrappy” determination to win that it oftimes astonished our rivals. Nevertheless, in 1945, we shall again take to the field and we shall fight toward the goal of capturing the Star Trophy, which is awarded to the top team in the League. Rest assured that the Stonewall nine will live up to the inspiring word they have adopted as their nickname—the “Rebels.” Our team this year will be composed of eight first “stringers” from past years, who have had considerable experience in Baseball and two newcomers, who prom¬ ise to develop into worthwhile players. Those out for the team include: Infield—(1) Eugene Funkhouser—Veteran for three years and a regular last year. (2) James Hutton—Veteran for three years and a regular for three years; (3) Alfred Armel—-regular last year; (4) Lynn Carpenter—-veteran second “stringer” for two years; (6) Howard Carper—veteran second “stringer” for three years; (7) Bobby Lewis—second “stringer” last year; (8) Lewis Dorsey—second “stringer” last year; and (9) Hildren Blandford—substitute last year. Outfield—(1) Robert Gibbs—Veteran for three years and a regular for two years; (2) Bobby Driver—Veteran of three years and two years a regular: (3) Harold Lamp—Veteran for two years; (4) David Fahnestock—second “stringer” last year; (6) Jack Patton—second “stringer” for two years; and (7) Ronald Carper— a newcomer. Pitchers—(1) “Buddy” Castleman—Veteran for two years and regular last year; (2) Thomas Stickles—regular last year; and (3) Harold Dawson and (4) “Buddy” Miller—second “stringer” last year. Catchers—(1) Guy DeHaven—second “stringer” last year and (2) John Cole— a newcomer.
