With a record of seven wins and two defeats, the Watchmakers shaped up as the best baseball team in the past five years. With an almost veteran infield of Johnstone, Lane, Rousseau and Dion, added to 1 slugging backstop, Perley Grant, and Basher Bill Manning in the outfield, the team seems destined to go far. The chief danger is in the pitching department and Bingo Leaf, John Clancy, Bob Clark and Martin Coleman seem to have everything under control here. New comets Bud Carter and Seth johnson are holding down the two remaining positions in approved style. The capable substitutes include such steady players as Billy Park and jack Wolk.

TRACK Y47ith the graduation of George Wheeler last year Coach Brinn found himself this year almost without a place man except Capt. Ernie Frary, al- though a slight ray of hope was found in the per- son of Eddie Demaris, who is credited with a 56 second quarter. Demaris and Rutter run the dashes, Capt. Frary is in the half and Eddie Caine in the mile. Dick Bennet has won several firsts in the broad jump and Chandnoit puts the shot. Others on the squad besides those mentioned in- clude Smelledge, Wanberg, Fair, Fancy, Rogers, Aliseo, Mogan, Falling, and Pendergast. Francis Dougherty is manager. Although the team has not won and may not win a meet this year, the outlook for next year is bright since all the track- men are underclassmen.

.g.........-.-.-.-- ---- ----Q CLASS OF 194OU----'--------'-- ' TENNIS TEAM The tennis team, a recent entrant into the Suburban League, has done surprisingly well in competition thus far this season with a win and loss total of four and two. The mainstay of this year's team is Don Skakle, playing in the no. one singles position. Besides Don in the singles Bud Carter has gained the no. two singles position and he divides his time be- tween tennis and baseball. The other top rank- ing singles players are: Bob Eaton, Nate Towne, Ted Millen and Harry Whalen. Most of these fellows will be back next year. In doubles Sumner Hammond and Bob LeBlanc have been most consistent in winning. They are supported by: Hollis Broderick and Bob Eaton, Bud Carter and Don Skakle, joe and Paul Hill, joe Holicker and George Olson, Bob Eaton and Ted Millen, Roger and Bob Gallagher. The team has various independant games listed and the two important ones are with Newton Seconds and St. Charles. At the close of the present season Mr. Gallagher plans to have the outstanding players participate in the State Tourn- ament at Winchester, Mass. The remaining teams in the league are: Bel- mont, Malden, Melrose, Watertown, Lexington, Arlington and Winthrop. Paul Hill. GOLF Although the golf team, up to the Arlington match, had not attained a single victory, future prospects seem very promising. Almost the entire team consists of sophomores and juniors and the matches this year are laying the basis for a really good team next year. To date Nicholas Abramo has been No. 1 man with the rest of the team fighting it out for run- ner-up positions. The closest match was at Lex- ington where the team was just nosed out 5 to 4. At this writing no captain has been chosen, although Nick Abramo has been acting in that capacity. The team playing the first match consisted of Nick Abramo, Tom O'Brien, Eliot Leaf, Edward Demarais, Henry loyal, and Larry Doyle. Others on the squad are: Toby MacDonald, Lawrence Rogers, William Tapply, Arthur Hagen, and Donald MacLennan.
