Baseball, however, is too popular to succumb to the dastardly work of a few gamblers and players. The effect. if any, upon collegiate baseball has been unnoticeable so far, although the popularity of the sport undoubtedly has been lessened to some degree. College athletics, and especially baseball, have not reached the stage of commercialism, and as long as they re- main so no doubt can exist as to their squareness. The University Farnfs 1922 baseball schedule comprised of somewhat more than twenty games for the preliminary season. Every accessible ball team in the northern part of California was brought to the Farm to give the ttFarmers2 a good workout. Practicing with the hard- est competition was Manager Carns and Coach Hughest prescription. The team was characterized through- , - out the preliminary season by a strong infield, and until the Pomona game, when the entire team responded as a ma- chine, the Victories were in large part ac- creditable t0 the basemen and the pitcher. Two or three weeks of intensive training proved sufficient to visit Berke- ley and play the Frosh. Clean-cut fielding and consistency won the first game for the Farm by a score of 5-4. The game was won by Arano, the Farm pitcher allowing only five hits and two walks. The superior hit- ting 0f the Farm was much in evidence. for we totaled nine bingles off the Babe pitchers. The perfect team work of the Farm and the consistency of the battery were the causes of the Farm victory. R. H. E. University Farm ............ 5 9 2 U. C. Frosh ...................... 4 5 4 9T
