There she goes! Amid flying dust, Seeland turns and dashes for first! Cruelly grinding the ball into his hip, the pitcher peers confidently in for the sign! Now he nods . . . back go the arms, up pumps the leg! A screaming obiect whizzes . . . past the batter! Strike three! roars the ump. Wheaton Academy had lost again. Plagued with numerous errors, discouraging batting slumps, and even a broken iaw, the Warriors experienced a difficult season. While losing 'll games and winning only 3, there were still a few happy moments. Two outs! Trailing Fenton 1 to 0 in the bottom of the first, Bosgraf walked. Crouching menacingly, Thompson waited and connected for a solid triple! Fenton, later breaking the tie, won 'I6 to 'l! Three big 'lst inning runs, but even that game ended in defeat! West Chicago romped for a 12 to 3 victory. Errors! Errors! Scoring 6 unearned runs in the 2nd inning, Lake Forest enioyed Wheaton's superb fielding! Slashing a tremendous homer, Thompson, backed by the entire team, squelched University High's final bid and pocketed a victory - 6 to 5! Biting the dust against North Park, 13 to 8, the Warriors' inability to prevent their foes from further scoring, cost them another loss! like a furious tornado, 14 overpowering runs flattened Latin! Arthur pitched the entire game and won - 14 to 4! Soaring still higher, the Warriors spotted their prey and pounced! Parker, fighting feebly, was no match, as Wheaton clubbed them 'll to 1! Ripping the air with a mighty swing, Thompson connects again!
