1922 Cedrus Yearbook

The 1921 Season on the Diamond F ROM the standpoint of scores Cedarville's 1921 baseball season was not a great success. From the standpoint of experience gained and spirit developed it was a success. There was some good ma- terial, but until the latter part of the season the teamwork was not spectacular. Some very amusing errors were committed. The lack of a coach was keenly felt. The outstanding feature of nearly all the games was the pitching. Harry Wright pitched brilliant ball and was ably relieved by Arthur. A fact worthy of note was that Cedarville knocked out a total of 99 hits, while the opponents could only garner a total of 70. The most memorable game of the season was the home game with Wilmington. Wilmington having defeated us 11-0 over there, was full of confidence. Neither side reached second base for three innings, but in the fourth Carl Duncan drove the horsehide into the cedar trees in right field for a home run. For three more innings neither side scored. Wilmington finally won because of errors, but did not get an earned run. This year with good coaching we are looking for big things from some of the old players.
