Oscar Witt.
Oscar made the mistake this spring
of holding out just as Harry Frazee
put through a deal bringing to his
club the wonderful Eddie Foster.
Maybe Oscar thought Mike Mentally
would never do and that, with Foster
playing second. he would be vitality
necessary for that hole at third base.
But Mike McNally, a regular for
the first time in his major league ca
reer, began hitting. He always was
smart fielder and a dashing base
runner. But this spring he has been
hitting in hard and timely style.
Thus, when Oscar Witt capitulated,
Ed Barrow had a finc-working infield

between Bodie and Ruth, but was out

Shannon started the first game at

inning when Pipp slid into second
base on q drive to center O'Neill

The second game ended with the
bases filled and one run needed to
tie the score with two on bases and
two out. Ruth was purposely passed
and Pratt flied to Milan.
The Griffmen's victory in the second
game put an end to Yankee win

straight games, That is the longest
winning streak Of the season to date.
Nick Altrock and Brick owens had

sent Nick to the bench.

Pino played second base two years

OF last season. This year he returned
TO his original position, where he has
played steady and often brilliant base

stan will be far ahead Of that of this
season. during which, toward the
latter part at least. almost complets
dependence had to be put In Gaines.

and a more experienced man than
Gaines, was taken sick three weeks
before the final game and was con-
fined to the hospital. He was re-

Besides Gaines and Baker the squad
will have in Niemeyer, Kelly. Reiter,

showed promise this season, but who
could not be tried out sufficiently I'd
find out what they really could do.
Flemming. who made a big reputaN
tion as a plcbe last season, had to
resign on account of his studies prior
to the opening OF the baseball season,
but has now re-entered the Academy.

In Gaines, Baker. and Flemmng
the squad should have three really

bilities in the other four, besides what
big new class may produce.

Many thought he took big chances
when he moved Clark 20 third and
put CIoughley back TO catch just a
week before the final game. How
ever, Clark came through in fine
shape, in spite OF the bad error in
the opening inning.
Lush has now been at the helm in
two winning games OF baseball
against the Army and in the only
basketball game between the two in

But the old rivalry has departed and

Fred Clarke was one of the best
