STATE COLLEGE. Pa, June IL
1t is not hard to understand the rea-
son for the great record set up by the
Penn. State baseball team this spring
in winning % out OF 20 games to
date, 20 of them in succession, IL one
glances at the batting averages OF
Bezdek's maulers. With two regulars
batting over 400 and four others
well up In the 800 class, 1t would
be surprising IL the Nittany Lions
had not been winning. esq.,.
Coupled with the heavy batting.
has been the alright pitching of
Mellinger. Thomas and Hunter: and
ever when the hurlers were having
an ofr-day. the powerful stick-work
was enough to turn the tide.
1t would appear as though the
captain of the Blue and White team
was also called upon to lead his nine
in hitting. for Hinl<ie Haines, who
captained the team for the first II
games, set an average of .403 for his
mates.
Then, following Hinkie's resigna-
ton, Spider Mearkle, the Philadel-
phia boy. was selected in his place
and the records now show that for
% games, Mearkle has an average of
.406, even surprising that of Haines.
The showing of the stocky little sec
ond-baseman has been brilliant this
year, for he has hit safely in every
game but one, while his fielding has
been sensational. His announcement
that he intends to coach at Coates
Vile High School will put a stop to
efforts of major league clubs to afhx
his name TO a contract.
kellinger. with .367; Koehler, with
$50; Lightner. with .342, and VI
lery, with .333, are the other heavy
hitters on the Penn State team.
Big Bill Ullery is the leading home
run hitter, with seven circuit clouts
to his credit. In addition to being
the leading batter, Captain Mearkle
also leads in runs scored, with Is,
and in stolen bases, with 1s..
Thomas viii probably pitch his
final game of college baseball on
Monday In the closing game of the
commencement series with Pitt.
Mearkle, Korb. Killinger and Brum-
baugh will also play their last game
for Penn state. and the loss of 1--WE
veterans will mean entire recon
struction next year.
However, Mellinger. Hunter. and
Miller will remain as pitchers, while
Hare promises to make the stu
dents forget about Brumbaugh as
a backstop. Koohler will probably
be shifted to the inheld and, with
Bill Ullery, will form the nucleus
for a strong inner works. Light
ner and Rinz will be back in the
outaeld.
Promising material from the
scrubs and freshman nine will be
called upon to fill the remaining
berths.
