24 THE GATHERER BASEBALL The baseball season of 1951 was only a fair one for Deer Isle High School, looking at the over-all record of games won and lost. However, it was really the most successful baseball season Deer Isle has seen in years, because they won the southern division championship. In the league with Deer Isle were Brooklin and Penobscot. We defeated Brooklin easily by scores of 3-1 and 5-0, but we had to settle for a split with Penobscot. The play-off, with Penobscot, was at Blue Hill. Deer Isle came out on top by a nar- row margin of 1-0. The Penobscot pitcher only allowed one hit, which, incidentally didn't figure in the scoring. The play-off with Blue Hill for the county cup was held at Deer Isle. We weren't so fortunate this time, losing 8-1. We played two non-league games with Blue Hill. The first game at Blue Hill was well-played except for a couple of errors which let in the winning runs for Blue Hill. Blue Hill won both games, 7-4 and 22-8. Our line-up was as follows: Catcher, Vaughn Joyce, Pitchers, Jerauld Hutchin- son and George Haskell, first base, Pearl Eaton, second base, Robert Haskell, short- stop, Norwood Greenlaw, third base, Ray- mond Haskellg outfielders, James Brewster, Fred Brewster, Burt Weed, Randall Haskell, and George Haskell. We were very successful against fall com- petition, winning three out of four games. We won two from Stonington by scores of 4-1 and 6-4. We split with Sullivan win- ning 4-2 and losing 7-1.

He took the job vacated by Eldridge Elkhorn when the lat- ter was inducted into the army. Again this year we lost heavily on regular players. Willie Weed was lost by gradua- tion, and Philip Hall and George Haskell left school. On the other hand, we gained, not so much in experience but in potential ability. James, Fred, and Jerry Brewster from Hawaii joined us late last winter. They certainly added a lot of strength to both the basketball and baseball teams. This year we were in a league with Sulli- van, Stonington, and Winter Harbor. We in non- lost all of our league games, but league games with schools our size we won seven and lost one. We had an over-all record of seven won and seven lost. We began the season very well by winning the first two games with Penobscot and Brooksville by scores of 27-26 and 47-44 re- spectively. In the next two games, however, we ran out of gas, dividing with Brooklin and Cas- tine. We lost to Castine 36-26 and defeat- ed Brooklin 43-24. High scorers in the Brooklin game were, for Brooklin, Carter with 17 points and for Deer Isle, Jerry Hut- chinson with 25 points and Freddie Brew- ster with 10 points. The next two games were hard fought for by Deer Isle, but to no avail. We lost to a good Sullivan squad 50-33, mainly because two of our starting five fouled out in the last quarter. We lost to Winter Harbor 61- 52 in a close battle. High scorers were Hutchinson for Deer Isle with 28 points and Reifl' for Winter Harbor with 31 points. The next game was easily taken 36-18 over Brooksville, but the following game at Stonington found Deer Isle on the short end of a 45-33 score at the sound of the final buzzeig The second game with Penobscot was as
