'VBUmUUt gldhfmy Page eighty-three , - Baseball Captain, EDWIN B. FISHER Manager, STANTON WILDER Coach, C. VAN DYKE CONOVER The season of 1926 opened with Coach Conoverls men facing the strong Saxtons River A. A. on Fuller Field. Joe Hardy pitched a very strong game, and with the timely hitting of Evens, DesRoches, Bennet and Lawlor, Vermont won 7-4. On May 1, our boys played T. C. A. away from home and with Hulbert, one of theistrongest pitchers in New England, in the box, won this fracas 5-3. The next game on May 21 was with M. A. C. 2nd year men at Amherst and again, thru the heady work of Hulbert and the hits by Fisher, Hardy and Lawlor, Vermont triumphed 5-2. The next day the team faced a strong Williston outfit which collected I5 runs to our 2. Altho' the score was one sided the game was exciting as our boys filled the bases many times but failed to push over the runs. Colby Academy came down to Saxtons River, May 29, confident of victory but could not fathom Hulbert's delivery. While they were busy trying to get onto his method of pitching, our boys collected 5 runs to their 3. T. C. A. came down on May 31 bent on revenge but was sadly disap- pointed as when this game ended We were on the long end of an 8-5 score. June 2 saw Keene Normal playing on our grounds. This game was an interesting one to watch, especially since the outcome of the game was Vermont 8, Keene Normal 3. The most exciting and interesting game of the year was the Clark School game played here on June 5. Up to the eleventh inning the score was tied 3-3. The visitors on going to bat, this inning, pounded out3 runs before they were retired. Our boys, however, were not discouraged and before the last out was called we had cornered one more run. This was not enough as the score remained 6-4 against us.
