Camera. 0 0 0 Colt Memorial again set out to produce one of the best teams in the Class C Conference. Beginning where Coach E. J. Fitzgerald left, Mr. Warren I.. Huston, new physical instructor for boys, developed a group of young men into playing an excellent brand of baseball. Colt’s first trip was to Burr Hill Park, where we went down, defeated by our county rival—Warren by a score of 5 to 1. This, however, did not discourage the team, for Colt came back to defeat Burrillville, Cumberland, Providence I rade, Barrington, and North Kingstown. With Warren, now the visiting team Colt displayed excellent baseball, defeating them by a score of 2 to 1; our sixth straight victory. Unfortunately we met the Cumberland team when it was playing at top form and suffered a 5-3 defeat. This game was close and very interesting although it did put us out of the running for the 1939 championship in Class C.
