A AVENUE and
CLAWSON TEAMS
GA N ES


The Clawson and A avenue light
weight baseball teams split even in
double-header yesterday after school,
the Avenue girls winning by score
of 81 to 10, while the Clawson boys
hung the Indian sign on the Avenue
boys, 13 to 5. Both games were played
on the A avenue grounds before
large crowd of teachers and students.
Many students from other schools also
added to the crowd Good spirit pre-
vailed and the losers are anxious to
get little practice and challenge the
winners for return games.
In the boys game Shropshire, Yer
dugo, Harsell, Stimac, Moscozo, Lock
ner and Wilcox made most of the
hits and runs. In the opening inning
the ClaWson boys connected for four
safe hits and made three runs, Shrop-
shire, Stimac and AIoscozo crossing
the rubber. The Avenue boys were
kept out of the score colume for two
innings by the. stellar pitching of
Verdugo, the Clawson ace, who set
back the best batters on pung ground
ers to the infield. Shropshire, HarSell
and Wilcox took care of the rollers
that came their way and tossed to
Stimac at first. Kline, Lockner and
Moore in the outer garden gathered in
several long flies for outs later in the
game.
The -Clawson boys went on bat
ting spree in the second and added
four more runs when hits by Lucas,
Kline, Verdugo, Stimac, Shropshire
and Moscozo registered four tallies.
The Avenue infield was slow in
fielding ground balls and several runs
were scored as a result of slow field
ing. Krannawitte rand Mcbride
handled a large number of chances IN
several innings, but clean hits ac-
counted for most of the runs in the
first, second and fourth innings. Mar
tin, Floresheim, Evans, Mcbride, Jean !
and Delagarza played good ball for
the losers and scored all the runs
made by the team.
The Clawson boys outfielded the
Avenue team and also hit for greater |
distance. The same teams will meet !
again later in the tournament.

The lightweight, middleweight and
teams from all the schools |
are playing daily in the baseball tour
nament and beginning next week the /
second round games will begin to /
tighten up in scores. The first week

ball.
New material is being added to the
weak places and all teams report that
they improved in their playing.
At the present time the Fifteenth
street and Seventh street boys are tied
for first place among the heavyweight
class and the ClaWson lights are in
the lead with the Avenue girls on the
top rung in their division. Games
will be played daily until the finalists
play off in a bracketed series for the
city school championship
The pitching aces Of the various
schools are going to have some hard
Shedding next week when the Babe
Ruths get going and their hitting
averages swell. Clean and sharp field
ing will be the only way to hold the
scores low and teams that have the
right kind of fighting spirit will win
The officiating has been good and
Coach Warren has sent out some of
the graduates of the physical educa-
ion department TO handle these games
They are all going we'll
