Show Base Ball Through the efforts of Coach McKay, baseball has been more firmly installed at Weber. During past years the national game has not received much support from the school. The different classes organized teams to play among themselves, but this kind of playing has not been very successful. This year Weber's Coach has had a squad of men out nearly every afternoon. From these he has organized a school baseball team. A city league has been organized and Weber's nine is among the contestants for a beautiful loving cup. Coach McKay has a good team, notwithstanding the fact that one man has been declared ineligible and three others have discontinued school. Lon Ferrin and Herberts have proved their worth as catchers. Scott Taggart has shown class as a pitcher. Peterson, Weber's star first baseman, was declared ineligible and McCuistain discontinued school, thereby making it hard for Weber to retain a first baseman. Von Belnap played this position in the last game and did good work. Dave Farrell discontinued school and left second base unoccupied. A. Belnap, who has been helping as pitcher, took this station in charge and is taking good care of it. Layman holds the shortstop position and plays it well. He is also handy with the stick. Len Anderson is Weber's little third baseman. A better man can not be found. Bassett, Monson and Croft occupy the field. They are workers who can corner all kinds of flies, and scoop up the grounders. Toone, Lloyd and Bruce Taggart play as utility men. The team as a whole is well bal- anced. We regret very much the loss of Si Ferrin, a very good slab artist, Dave Farrell, McCuistain and Peterson. As duty at home has called them from us, we must make the best use of our other material. Of the four games played, but one has been lost. In the first game the State School for the Deaf was defeated, 8 to 5. When this paper went to press the second game with the deaf boys had been in- definitely postponed. The State Industrial School has been defeated twice. The first time by a score of 9 to 1. The second game was the best played in the league and resulted in another victory for Weber. The score was 2tol. The game lost was played with the Ogden High School. Weber was easily defeated, as the boys were taken by surprise. The score was 14 to 7. It is to be hoped that when these teams meet again Weber will win. The boys are determined to win, for by so doing they will bring that silver loving cup to Weber. |
