QaiebaU It's a glorious record that the Golden Bears set in 1948; and it's a glorious team that set it. And as reward for their efforts they were presented with the beautiful Lakeside League Baseball Trophy, a prize well worth working for. From the first, the Play Ball found Chuck Barbero burning them in from the pitcher's mound and Don Crosson behind the catcher's mask. While Bud Dubigk was very nicely taking care of first, Johnny Litras and Ken Collins were showing them how second and third should be taken care of. Don Neal made history on short stop while Fred Habnicht, Jack LeGrande and Less Collecchi beautifully covered left, center and right fields respectively. Put this co-ooeration and ability together and you have an A-1 team—a winning team. A team that beat the Issaquah Indians 2-0 in the first conference game of the season, and followed it with a 15-1 victory over the Tolt Demons. The taste of victory is sweet and this was proven once more as the Bears held Mt. Si to a 6-2 victory in the third conference game of the season. Meridian was next to bow to the Golden Bears with the dizzy score of 19-2 on the Black Diamond field. But the true test of the Bears' strength came on the Renton Diamond when they faced the Bothell Cougars in a thrilling battle for the championship. After the struggle the Bears emerged on top with the hard-earned score of 4-2. Without a loss all season TaHoMa gained the coveted trophy and all the true admiration that Champions deserve. 22 TaHoMa, ’49
