BASEBALL TEAM HAS GOOD SEASON The ump says Safe as Thompson slides past Glenwood's catcher. 3... 1 The Warriors played host to Oswego in their season opener and couldn't retain their lead until the game was called. Wheaton held a 5-4 edge going into the sixth but Oswego scored in their half of the sixth. This run deadlocked the score and the game was called because of darkness. Snelgrove was the big man at the plate as he banged out 2 base hits and knocked in a run. Robinson and Huffman each got hits to support their hurler Jim Bosgraf. Bosgraf picked up his first victory of the season against Latin as he pitched a 'l hit game and allowed no runs. Jim struck out 8 Latin batsmen and walked 7. He also helped himself out by rapping out a double and getting 2 R.B.l.'s. Once again catcher Bob Snelgrove picked up a pair of singles, batted in scared 3 times. The game was such a runaway that it was called after the third The situation was just the opposite in the next game as Christian swamped 16-2 on 14 hits. Their pitcher Hofstra struck out 12 of our men and allowed Thompson started for the losers and was relieved in the third inning by Arthur the 5 inning slaughter. 2 runs, and inning. the Warriors only 6 hits. who finished Dave Thompson was the big man with the bat as he got two singles, a home run and 2 R.B.I.'s. Snelgrove picked up a three bagger. But the Academy team bounced right back and edged U. High 4-2. It was Bosgraf again performing the mound duties, Huffman smacked out a triple and picked up two R.B.I.'s. Playing their best game of the season behind the shut-out pitching of Bosgraf, Wheaton knocked out the league-leader North Park 1-O. We got only 2 hits. One came in the second by Huffman. John later went on to score our only run. The other was in the sixth by Bosgraf. The Warriors played very good defensive baseball to help Jim on the mound. Luther North then slid by the Bensonmen in 8 innings 8-7. Thompson and Robinson each got homers to support Bos on the mound. The outfield played good defensive ball as there was a strong wind which helped the hitters. Wheaton seemed to be in a rut and lost their next fracas to Luther Walther 4-0. Dave Thompson pitched for the losers and held the Luthers to only 4 runs but the team couldn't hit the ball. They got one lone hit - a single by Snelgrove in the fourth. As a practice game, those boys not on the Springfield trip played Fenton and didn't yield a hit, losing l4-2. Gary Arthur pitched and Coach substituted freely to let everyone play. Twice in a row the Wheaton boys gave away a no hitter and this time it was to Ron Rosset of North Shore. The winners got 8 runs on 4 hits and Wheaton never seriously threatened. The Bensonmen then won a pair of games as they dropped Luther South 9-8 and Glenwood T0-2. The South game was one of the Warriors' better ones as they came from behind to win in their half of the 7th. Three hurlers saw actionp Seeland, Thompson, and Bosgraf. We get 14 hits in the Glenwood game behind Bosgraf's 4 hit pitching. West Chicago edged the Maroon and White 5-3, in our last game. Bosgraf pitched good ball but we couldn't get enough runs across to beat the Little Seven players.
