sam' 6 'ff-5-i ,, .J 5 ra-if yr 1947 YEAR BooK Baseball Now let us look at the greatest sport of them all, baseball, This year's team. coached by Murry Hicks, was one of those trying years that the law of averages seem to demand. However, what the boys lacked in equipment and experience, they made up for in spirit. The team, hampered by bad weather and the lack of experienced play' ers, started the season by facing some of the strongest teams in the circuit and conf sequently found itself on the losing end of a number of games. Captain Arthur Morrell, leadfoff batter and an extremely dangerous base run' ner, led the team by his good example. Chelmsford was fortunate in having four capable pitchers, Paul Dumont, Robert Dinnigan, Bob Hicks and Douglas MacElroy. Dinnigan was used in relief roles and he did well in this capacity, while Hicks, Mac' Elroy and Dumont carried the brunt of the work, shifting hack and forth between the mound and the outfield. On first base was veteran Bob Lovett, back on the job after an operation, while second base featured a new face in the uniform of Chelmsford High baseball, Gordon Axon. The man with a grin, Eddie Bishop, capably handled the short stop position and on the hot corner was speedy Tom Cantara with the rifle-like arm. Peterson and Reid held down the other outfield spots and shone well on the Held. Capable catcher John Campbell proved most helpful with his accurate throw' ing and powerful hitting.
