'R.yume of I925 'Base 'Ball Season o ",Terror" Baseball Team of 1925 enjoyed a very successful season o under the leadership of the scrappy little captain, "Fats" Clark. The season was successful from a financial standpoint as well as from the standpoint of games won. The team, as have Western Maryland teams in' the past, labored under a severe handicap at the beginning campaign due to the curtailment of practice by the War Department inspection and by inclement weather. The first-string outfit that took the field in the opening game of the season against Loyola proved to be the team that shouldered the majority of the games of the season. Loyola fell before its onslaught in that opening game. Adams and Artigiani proved to be the big guns in that attack which carried tile team to victory and started a successful season. The team labored under another handicap, more serious than the afore- mentioned, in that Merrill and Byham, the mainstays of the mound corps, were declared ineligible during the most important games of the schedule. Byham pitched two wonderful games against Lebanon Valley and the Quantico Marines, losing 3-2 to the former and 1-0 to the latter. He allowed the Quantico Marines but two hits in that 1-0 game. Merrill pitched two great games, trimming the Marines in the first game of a double header, and beating Loyola in another close battle. The line-up for the se<;lson in most games was as follows: Ke ;-}~~~;;gh·•••••••••••.••••••.••••••••.••..•••••••••••••••..••••••.•••••.••.•••••••••••~. F. F.
