BASEBALL Cedarville College is proud of their 1935 baseball team. This team won the conference championship. It is our hope that with this record behind them theywill do even better this year and in the future. '35 SCHEDULE BASEBALL SPRING OF 1935— Cedarville 4 Wilberforce 10 Cedarville 4, Wilberforce 10 Handicapped by having four men in the line-up Cedarville 8 Defiance II who never played a game of baseball before in their lives Cedarville dropped a 10 to 4 decision Cedarville 8 Wilmington 12 at Wilberforce in the first game of the season. Cedarville 3 Wilberforce 7 Cedarville 8, Defiance II Cedarville 3 Bluffton 1 Although showing improvement in the offensive side of the game Cedarville lost their second game Cedarville 5 Defiance in a row to Defiance 11 to 8. A wet field was 4 responsible for the visitors getting 8 infield hits which really decided the ball game. This was the first conference game. Cedarville 8, Wilmington 12 Cedarville again let loose a powerful attack but Wilmington was even more powerful and so the third successive loss occurred by the score of 12 to 8. Gillespie, a Freshman, hurled the last 4 innings and was handicapped by poor support. Cedarville 3, Wilberforce 7 An improvement in the defense was matched by a letdown in offense and caused Cedarville to drop another game to our ancient rivals from Wilber- force by the score of 7 to 3. Cedarville 3, Bluffton 1 Marvelous 2 hit pitching by V. Garlough brought Cedarville its first victory of the season by the rather close score of 3 to I. This was only the sec- ond conference game so a chance to win the cham- pionship was gained by this victory. Page Fifty-four
