LIPPS SUBSCRIPTION . Superintendent 50 Cts FEB ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Last Saturday afternoon our baseballers embarked upon their 1928 schedule against the Salem high school team. Eighteen of our squad were given a chance to show their “stuff” and all came through with something worth talking about. Some pounded out long drives, others safe hits, and a few earned comment by just looking natural at the plate. In all, the Salem hurlers were found for 21 safe hits, which ranged all the way from singles to home runs. To say the least, our squad looked like a slugging ag gregation. It means the boys were watching the ball, and watching the ball pays big dividends. It also means they have set a high mark to shoot at. Let’s hope they always hit the mark. To balance off those 21 hits they rounded up 21 runs. Salem earned four hits and balanced off her totals with a like number runs. Solomon Fleury, the first of our four pitchers to take the mound for us, was bad medicine for the Salem batters. He held them hitless as well as scoreless and struck out nine men. Solomon also had an effective day at the plate. He clouted out one home-run, one trippie and three singles out of six times at bat. William McCorkle, Al Goudy and Theodore Gillette, entering the game in the order mentioned, unraveled a few surprises for our fans as well as the Salem bats men. All look like promising hurlers. Eldred George, first, Clifford Meachem, second and James Spencer, third base, and George Meachem, short-stop, were like a stone wall in our first line of defense. They accepted every chance without a bob ble. All are veterans but James Spencer, yet he performed in such a manner that there was no doubt left in the minds of any but that the position would be well taken care of before the season is far along. Jake Atkins, at his old stand behind the bat, was more effective than ever. The “chatter,” “life” and energy Jake puts into our team is valuable to the nth degree and has been ever since he first drew on the glove and donned the mask to receive the balls from our pitchers. This marks his last year as a catcher here. He will graduate in June. To leave us a living monument for his services as an athlete he has taken under his wing two candidates who appear to be the most likely to fall heir to his job and is teach ing them the game the way he plays it. We hope they absorb some of his energy as well as his tricks and knowledge of the game. Orin Johnson, left field, Lawrence Pratt, center field, and Joe Alexander, right field, were in our start ing 4 line-up. Although they had but few chances they were not caught asleep when the opportunities came.
