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.
