Q, Z V .fl , ,,,, A 1 .?.,,:.:.,:.t iitii. az.. fielder, and his one fault, that of throwing past first, can be overcome by practice. Leo Harding will cavort in left field. An infielder, competing with Lochmoeller, Harding was transferred to left field by Coach Hill because Meinert, regular field- er, was declared ineligible. He once played the outfield, is a good judge of a fly ball and can handle ground balls in the field. He was a weak hitter last year, but he has greatly improved his swatting. Engler will play center when he doesn't pitch. He is a good fielder and has a good aim. He can judge Hy balls with the best of them and can be expected to do his share on the attack, for he is a good hitter. Cianciola will patrol right field. Joe is a good fielder, although a trifie slow. Joe's value does not come from his fielding. He shines with the stick. He is one of the heaviest hitters in t h e High School League. Patty Albrecht will don the mask and pads for Yeatman again. Patty was elected captain and he is a wise choice for the place he is a natural leader and a great fighter. He is in the fighting from start to finish. With Pat nothing but the championship can be seen by the team. Patty is a good hitter and has a great throwing arm. His snappy throws turn back many would-be base stealers. He is all over the field, backing third and first on throws from the outfield. Stremmel will do the hurling. He is a coolheaded chap and an able pitcher. He is also a good hitter and in the Eden games he cracked a homer over the left fielderfs head. He has a nice curve and a fast one which will fool the opposition. The substitutes, Leach, Mason, Schact, Hannibal, Blankenmeister and Haueser, will step in to fill any gap. Others who may break into the game at any time are, Moslank, Webb, Williams and Trost. In her first league game, Yeatman was defeated by Cleveland by a score of 6f3. Yeatmanis defeat lay in her defensive weakness. A Mickeyu Farrell at shortstop was the only Yeatman infielder to display his regular form. He handled every chance clearly, and crashed out a single in four tries. Yeck and Harding were the leading hitters. Yeck poled out two doub- les in five attempts and Harding hit two singles out of three tries. Yeatman start- ed off well taking the lead in the third in- ning, when a run was pushed across. Stremmel singled, and after Harding's walk, ' Paddy, Albrecht crashed one through short to score Stremmel. ln the fifth, Yeatman tallied again on two errors on Stremmel and Schurr's grounder and Harding's single to center. The last run was scored in the seventh, when Schurr scored on Harding's single to right Yeck's two mighty doubles went for nought, as the first time he was left stranded, and caught at the plate on an unsuccessful squeeze-play on the other Stremmel pitched a good game, but the ragged support and a slight weakening near the finish cost the game. He fanned six and passed but one. f'Paddy Albrecht caught his usual dependable game. McKinley was the next foe and again Yeatman tasted bitter defeat, this time by a 9--3 score. While the McKinley pitch- er was nothing extra, the batters did not have on their batting clothes. Yeatman took the lead again in the first, when Al- brecht walked, stole second and completed the circuit on a wild throw. Thereafter ciphers were passed out by the McKinley- ites until the ninth, when Yeck tripled with two on and two out. Stremmel did not appear to be himself and was knocked in the sixth, when Engler relieved him. McKinley upset the Yeatmanites in the first inning with a bunting attack, pushing across four runs. Thereafter Yeatman played listless ball. Page Sf Iwlty-.Yr:'f21

The response at the meeting held that evening was gratifying in that some one hundred and five aspirants to fame on the cinder-path showed up. The coach gave a brief talk in which he outlined what was expected of the boys. Mr. Lehr- mann also gave the boys some valuable pointers. The coach, with his usual habit of get- ting the boys into shape as soon as possible, started the gang to work at once. He as- signed the various classes to certain boys who have had more or less track exper- ience. The midgets were given to Wilson, the juniors, to Constanz and the seniors to Holland. Mr. Merrill has arranged a number of small meets to get the fellows accustomed to competition. Since the boys have not met in regular try-outs, as yet, I cannot say, positively who the best men are. However, a few naturally have shone out above the rest, and I shall say a little about them. The midgets, as the other two classes, are greatly in need of men. Of those who are out, Seegar is the only letter man. Naturally we look with assurance upon him. He can do almost anything in midget track. In the fifty yard dash, Earl Haginsiecker is doing quite well, while in the seventy-five, Matthew McCauley reigns supreme. In the Juniors, Simpson seems to have the fifty well in hand. Hartman is work- ing at the hundred, and Hatz is the star at two hundred and twenty yards. Hatz can also run a good quarter. McBryde, a let- ter man, is still a junior and with Fred Hageman forms the mainstay of our junior team. Mac is working on the hurdles and sprints. Winkler has been working on Page Sevenfy-Eighl the sticks also. Palmer and Buney have been furnishing competition for Mc- Bryde in practice dashes. Hageman is the outstanding star among the highjumpers. He taps the bar at the same height as our seniors. In the distance runs, 440 and 880, we have Beccard, Coyle, Walsh, Hol- land CJim's brotherj and a host of others. Beccard and Walsh seem to prefer the 440, while the other two cling to the 880. Bec- card has been doing quite well at both the 440 and 880. He is a glutton for work and any runner with that quality is sure to make good. In the 880 young Holland has shown pleasing results by trimming all the junior half-mile aspirants in a match race. Hatz is the brightest bro-ad-jump prospect. Phil Walton seems to be the on- ly one profoundly interested in the shot- put. In the pole-vault, there are entered Constanz, Lenz, Roberts, and Brooks. Constanz at present is showing up very well and if pre-season vaults mean any- thing, he ought to vault his way into a place at the big meet. The seniors present a very complex prob- lem to the coach. He has only about fif- teen of them when he should have over fif- ty. However, I will attempt to say some- thing of those who are out. In the sprints, 100 and 220, we have Lingner, Halloran, Rubinstein, Voss, and Ploeger. Lingner and Halloran favor the furlong, while Voss, Ploeger and Rubinstein are working at the century. Of these five mentioned, it is hard to pick stars as all are in need of train- ing. However, Voss, Lingner, and Ploeger are letter men, and consequently a bit more is expected of them. John Selejan and Roy Stebbins are the high-jump stars. Muchow and Bisbee Cof football famej are working at the hurdles. Muchow and Schliebe are trying for the broad-jump and if long legs mean anything to a jumper, these two ought, as Shakespeare C73 would
