EAGLES WHIP ALUMNI NINE (By Monmouth Reporter) The over-fed mid beefy members l<if the Monmouth Alumni baseball team went down to miserable defeat nt the hands of a hard-hitting Monmouth baseball aggregation as the closing event of the present schAol year held at tin' Monmouth baseball diamond Friday afternoon. The final count was 112 9 in favor of the Eagles and It marked the fifth straight victory for that school this spring. Home runs were abundant and D. Lytle for the Eagles tore the cover off the ball for two homers while his brother "Cocky” Lytle for the Alumni knocked a pair of homers. Fleming. Franz, Fuelling. : Stubs and Brokaw also knocked four-baggers for the high school ’ nine. While the score was never close, much interest was shown in the | '"■ante, mid as a closing event fori 'the -ihool the two teams joined i’ogether in presenting Coach Harve Haggard with the pitcher's box at i the close of the game. BASEBALL TEAM IS ORGANIZED —- Decatur will have an independent baseball team this year, it was , announced today by Glen Marlin. , manager of the newly organized . Decatur Pirates. The team is I composed of former high school and college players and will be one of the strongest to represent Decatur since the days of Pat Coff >e. • Buck Baxter. Hex Cochran and the ’ Johns boys. • The team practices several ’ times each week in preparation I for the schedule which will start "ithe first Sunday in May. For the I first few Weeks the games will be played away from home, but after mid-season. Manager Martin plans to bring his team into Decatur for a series of games with neighboring cities. The games probably will bo played at the South Ward baseball diamond. A few of the ‘old timers' and a great number of younger baseball players are working out with the team. Manager Martin slated that in all probability his team would be bolstered with tbe | addition of an imported pitcher and two fielders. Negotiations are now underway for a game for May 4. probably with Hartford City or Auburn. _— o * — . a BASEBAI L BRIEFS By’ United Press Major league basebal’ magnates were hoping for a favorable break in the weather over the week-end. to enable them partially to retrieve the profits lost through opening week postponements.
