test b3 ' leading all, and Mr. Hitchcock got a rag doll for finding none. Frost enjo ed himself so thoroughl3 ' that he clipped off a hundred in eight seconds, tr3’ing to lengthen the time of our sta3 an hour. But all to no purpose. The part3’ was compelled to break up at a comparativeh’ early hour, much to our regret. Outside the school we veiled ourselves hoarse endeavoring to show our apprecia- tion of the good will and hospitality shown us. In return we endeavored to entertain them on St. Valentine’s Eve. To Gardner, however, will al- ways belong the credit of instituting these sociables, and our advice to future Seniors is to entertain Gard- ner if they wish for pleasant com- pan3 ' and a good time. Baseball. T he season of 1901 witnessed the organization of a baseball team such as our school has not had for several 3’ears, everything considered. It was one of the smallest in point of size and 3 oungest that ever repre- sented the school. But despite these, the team was a winner. It showed remarkably good sense in the choos- ing of its captain, who, by the wa3 ' , was the smallest man on the team, and also a member of the class of 1901 . The first game pla3 ed resulted in defeat, but was the onl3 ' game of the year that went b3 ' that name; and this was realh- wiped out when the two teams, F. H. S. and Mur- dock, came together again at Fitch- burg and Murdock succumbed to de- feat. Our bo3 s’ 3 outhful appearance was a pitfall for the prophets. Although each and all played ex- cellentW, there are some whose work is deserving of special mention. These are. Burns, who pitched an excellent, head3 game, not being subject to aerial ascensions, and who was well supported by Barker behind the bat. Church pla3 ed a clever game at short- stop, and Murphy captained the team in veteran st3de. The team was under the management of Raimund Walsh. The following are the list of players and schedule: Barker, c; Burns, p; Burdo, lb; Rich, 2b; O’Brien, 3b; Church, ss.; Murph ' , If (Capt.); McCue, cf; Darch, rf; subs, Fisher, Care} ' , French. F.
