LASHAR GRIGGS CCaptaunJ The Washington Town team trounced Gunnery, 16-7, in what proved to be the worst defeat of the year. Chris Day started on the mound for Gunnery, but was replaced by Lehrman in the fifth inning. Dick Holahan got two hits for the Red and Gray, while Jack Griggs and Don Leahy each scored homers. Getting only three hits, the visiting Gunnery squad was shut out, 3-0, by the Berk- shire nine. The hits of Griggs, Holohan, and Fields were of no avail against the vigilant opposing team. Gordie Hall pitched the first shutout, 3-0, in three years for the Gunnery Varsity against Canterbury. The visitors were limited to two hits, while the Buckmen picked up tive. Five errors by Canterbury and two hits by sophomore John Lahsar spurred Gunnery on to victory. The highlight of Alumni Day was the 8-O trouncing of the Gunnery Varsity by the visiting Alumni. For the latter, Hale, Gavel and Bowen shared the pitching honors with HOLAHAN .- - rf' 'I ' V P -' :-5,1 -' U . ' 'v f.

VARSITY BASEBALL REVIEW In Gunnery's first game of the season at Kent, the opposition won, 4-3, over the visi- tors. Fred Fields, Junior, made two hits. Trinity-Pawling's pitcher, Rose, hurled a 6-O shutout over the Red and Gray in Gun- nery's first home game. The Buckmen, on home ground, won their first game over South Kent, 7-3. Sophomore center-fielder, Bill Lackey, hit the team's first home run of the year, while Jack Griggs and Dick Holahan each hit doubles. At Lakeville, Connecticut, Gunnery lost to Hotchkiss, 9-3. Even if the game had not been called in the seventh inning due to rain, the visiting team would not have beaten the superior Hotchkiss squad. Top Gunnery hitters for the day were third-baseman Gil Lehrman with two singles, and first-baseman Holahan with a double. Three days later, the Buckmen defeated the visiting Hopkins Grammar team, 3-1. Lehrman pitched a fine game, and Gordie Hall made a triple in the fifth inning, greatly assisting the victory. Despite the three hits by Fields, the Red and Gray lost to Choate, 9-4, on home ground. Hall again took the mound for the Buckmen, but his pitching could not better the opponents' batting. 75
