1935 Cedrus Yearbook

EARLHAM An eighth inning let-down cost the team a victory in its initial encounter of the season against Earlhame at Richmond, April 28, the final score being 6-5. BOWLING GREEN On May 4, the Cedarville nine journeyed to Bowling Green for a contest with Coach Ault's Alma Mater. In spite of superb pitching on the part of Turner and a triple by Waddle, Cedarville emerged from this hotly contested battle on the short end of a 2-1 score. DEFIANCE The next day the Yellowjackets, tired by the stiff game of the preceding day. met Defiance in a listless game, losing by the score of 14-2. EARLHAM—MAY 12 Again the boys could not get going, and the Quakers from Earlham eked out a 3-0 victory over Cedarville who put up a game battle. WILBERFORCE—May 18 As many games with Wilberforce have been hectic slugfests, this one proved to be no exception. However, Cedarville failed to slug enough and in spite of two home runs by Cappola we were again denied victory losing 16-10. BLUFFTON—MAY 21 Bluffffton's Beavers invaded our diamond staying long enough to hand us a 7-2 defeat. By this time it seemed to Cedarville that we were heckled by a jinx. DEFIANCE—MAY 26 The "Aultmen" come into their own! The boys, not to be denied this time, smarting perhaps under the memory of that 14-2 defeat at Defiance, slugged their way to a 10-8 victory in the classic game of the year, climaxed by a Frank Merriwell finish when Mills, on his last chance, poled out a homer with two men on base. WILBERFORCE--JUNE I Our annual Cedar Day game with Wilberforce proved to be disastrous to Cedar- ville. The colored boys from down the road swamped the Yellow Jackets under a vertiable barrage of hits, runs, and what have you to win. 22-4 tells the sad but true story. Page fifty-one
