BASEBALL the game, Ray Cattaneo was unanimously elected to Captain the '48 Eaglets to greater heights. FOURTH YEAR The cold winds were still blowing when our new coach took over his duties and Mr. john Kiley met the candidates at the Brook- line St. Gym. The season started in such a hurry that there were many things to be done and no time to lose. Having won the city championship last year and many vet- erans returning cast a feeling of optimism about the team but this too tended to make Mr. Kiley apprehensive. We would have to be on our toes to repeat with the rest of the league waiting around the corner for us. When the squad was cut there remained the veteran receivers john McLaughlin and Tom Londergang Ken McDonald, Bob Ma- comber, Jack McElroy and Bob Giusti would do the -pitchingg Tom McElroy and joe McKenney were battling for the second sack, Roger Morton looked good at first, Dick Doyle, a new comer was stationed at third, and the short stop for the fourth consecutive year would be the superb Ray Cattaneo. The outfielders numbered Andy Maddaleni, Bill McMorrow, Ed McDonald and Eddie Donovan. George Foley decided to continue to bolster the track team and Mr. Kiley would have to go along without the big bat of the mighty Babe. Our first victim was Jamaica Plain against whom we scored 20 runs. Ray Cattaneo inaugurated the season with a tremendous home run and Bob Giusti and Ken McDonald collaborated to limit J. P. to a lone tally. Bob Maeomber went to the hill against East Boston and the going was a little tougher. We won the game 6 to 4 on the heavy hitting of Roger Morton and Dick Doyle. Bob Giusti pitched well to beat Technical 3 to 2 but our bats remained silent against Southie and Bob Macomber lost a well pitched game 2 to 1. B. C. High prevailed over Brighton with I a 6 to 3 win. Bob Giusti gave up eight hits and had perfect control. John McLaughlin and Ed McDonald each contributed two hits. We would like to forget the next game when Bob Giusti was charged with his first conference defeat in two years when our defense let him down and Commerce beat us 7 to 5. With two league defeats to date B. C. High has only a slim chance to represent the Boston Conference in the Eastern Mass. Tourney but there will be plenty of victories to come. Congratulations and good luck to the entire team. JOHN MULVLHILL JOHN MULVEHILL fMgr.J, JOHN KILEY QCoachj RAY CATTANEO fCapt.J. 121

BASEBALL ball-players. Led by Capt. john Concannon at second base and his double-playmaker Ray Cattaneo, john McLaughlin, Murphy's sub, and the strong-armed pitchers Dave Crcehan and jack McElroy, a well-balanced ball team was fo1'med. Ken McDonald, Bob Guisti and Bob Maeomber, all juniors, rounded out a well assorted pitching staff. jack Reagan and jim Cummings battled all year, along with Jim Breau for a start- ing Erst-base slot. Connie and Ray again were the middle men and the talented Carl Maddelini won the third base job from Tom McElroy and Joe McKenney. The outfield consisted of Dan Ahern, Tom Londergan, Andy Maddaleni fthe only Sophomore on the squadj and Gene Mitchell, one of the most underrated players in the Conference. With this hard-hitting lineup, B. C. High won S straight until Norm Fitzgerald of Southie was forced to go 13 innings to beat us 5-2. Dave Creehan showed his remarkable pitching talent as he struck out 15 against Tech. Against Commerce, Carl Maddaleni had 5 of the 18 hits but Bob Guisti was forced to put out a short lived Commerce uprising, winning 7-4. In this game Ray and Connie had 4 double plays. As a result of their 13-1 record, B. C. High received an invitation to the Eastern Mass. School- boy Baseball Tourney. In the quarter-finals we drew Lynn Classical fthe eventual State Champs, and were outclassed to the tune of 12-0. Tom Londergan shone in the gloom of defeat with his sixth inning single, ruin- ing Rubinowski's no-hit pitching. After VAllSlTY SlfNlOllS BASliBAl.l, '1'1iAM lfirst row, left lo right: Guisti, VI.
