Tiger Horsehiders Weather ouch Season Tiger baseball team won tour out of ten games played. Failure on the part of pitchers to come through, and loose infield and out- tield playing were main reasons for the club's downfall. The squad started out in high hopes, but received a jolt when Curtis Porter re-injured a shoulder after the opening game with La- ton. The Cats won that game, but minus Porter's services, were easy prey for both Par- lier and Riverdale. Curtis returned for the Sierra game and pitched the Tigers to their second victory. Brought up from the JV's in mid-season, Tom Snowden started against Caruthers, los- ing a heartbreaker in extra innings. Meeting Laton for the second time, the Tigers went down to defeat. They bounced back to take Parlier and then lost a make-up game to Ca- ruthers and were blanked by Riverdale. TUHS ended the season by polishing off Sierra.

Defending champion Jayvees tied the league championship in the last game they played, against Sierra. They began the sea- son in a torrid pace as they disposed of Laton, Parlier, and Riverdale in easy fashion before meeting Sierra. Losing to the Papooses let down their hopes a little, and they also went down before Laton. With two losses it looked almost hopeless for the Cubs since Sierra was undefeated. Par- lier then came into the picture and gave the Cubs a boost by sending Sierra home with their first loss of the season. The Cubs then raced through Parlier and threw Riverdale for a loss while waiting eagerly for their next en- counter with the hill team. This set the stage for the final clash between the two teams on the Cubs home field where the locals won and deadlocked the championship. Outtielders Bill White, Kenneth Mancini, John Horn, Caroll Horn, and Jerry McDonald pause in practice. Six moundsmen warm up their throwing arms: Eddie Anderson, Carlos Gonzales, Jock Hubbard, Curtis Porter, John Horn, Tom Snowden.
