Baseball Summary
---------------------------------------- V. E. S. IS-Brookville I
It's o fact that being close doesn't count except in horseshoes. 'Cause if it counted in baseball. the Bishop squad would have stood its opposition on its ear. The Bishops closed the sea- son with a five-and-eight record. among the setbacks were four by one run, two of these in extro innings.
Spectacular plays by the Bishops were a dime a dozen. Outstanding in the infield were: at first, "Hose" McClure, who it seemed could stretch without strain on some of those wild pegs; at the keystone spot, five-fielding Milton Barber
reigned supreme for all thirteen gomes. A t shortstop Bill Stokes and "Rip" Deringer proved themselves beyond doubt. Chorlie Kellogg, whose peg to first was without peer, and "Nib" Stiegletz held down the hot corner admirably. Standouts in the outfield were Fred Schilling in centerfield, who, if necessary. oauld cover left and right fields and sec- ond base too, Bob Hughes in left, ond Farinholt and Sibley alternating

Episcopal Wins In The Ninth
V.E.S. traveled to Alexondria to play what proved to be their best game of the season, but lost it on an error in the final inning. Two homers by Weston and Drummon of Episco- pal, each with a man on boord, ac- counted for all the Moroon runs un- til the lost inning. Thompson lost one of Forinholt's pitches with two out in the ninth and allowed Nichols to race home with the winning run.
Except for the initial inning when the Bishops took the leod, V.E.S. had to fight from behind. V.E.S. tied the score 4-4 in the sixth, and from there 'til the end it was even-steven. The Bishops played errorless ball until that one in the ninth. Fred Schilling played superbly in center field moking several very difficult catches. Farinholt pitched well and struck out I0, but W aters bested him in thot depart-
