Title

Pacific University Baseball Team

Description

A photograph of the Pacific University baseball team. The caption with the photograph identifies the students as Glenn 'Red' Sheeley, Fred Wolf, Leslie 'Jazz' Hoar, Henry Fiske, John Garrigus, Benjamin Gerkin and Harry Kunkel. The Pacific University baseball team took a hiatus during World War I. In 1917 the team voted to discontinue the baseball season and substitute their time with military drills. The only game played that year was for a special game during the May Day Celebration. The team in this photograph would have been one of the first teams to play a season of baseball after World War I ended in November, 1918. This picture appears in an album that was compiled by Greta McIntyre Sheeley, a 1920 Pacific University graduate.
