Tutor Baseball Squad Faces Three-Game Week in May
Cedar Falls May 2 The State Teachers College baseball team travels for a busy week with three games. Tuesday Coach Abram James fields nine against Upper Iowa University in an away clash. Thursday Ellsworth visits for the first home tilt, and Friday afternoon DuBuque University comes to town. The Tutors experimented with second string pitchers Stranskov and Stont in last week’s two practice games, but strong fielding and solid batting supported steady play. Whitford’s pitching in the previous loss to DuBuque showed promise, and Coach James expects the rotation to tighten as the season progresses.
