The diamond was soggy after recent rains which made snappy playing difficult; in fact, Roy Johnson made quite a splurge when he plunged into a miniature pond in center field during his eager pursuit of the elusive sphere. Ralph Hill, who pitched the game, did not hit his stride until the next game and allowed seven men to pass. It is pos- sible that except for several flagrant errors in fielding Sumner would have won. The only hits were single. STOUGHTON VS. HOLBROOK AVON VS.

THE ECHO Messages A runner, with panting breast, Carrying news of victory, Shouts with his last and dying breath A story making world history. Shouts relayed from afar Rise to a battle cry. The bristling ranks, like an iron bar. The hostile lines defy. A horseman pursued and pressed His noble steed all trembling. Cries out with strength remaining yet The tidings that make a king. Seaward a flickering light. Gleaming on water below And the watch above on the heights Cry out “Here comes the foe!” An aeroplane circling high With enemy plans made clear Cuts meteor-like through the sky Saving a nation from fear. Rushing shapes o’er the sea Through crashes a humming ma- chine While a hand depressed on a key Sends, “Attacked by a submarine.” ELLIS JOHNSON, ’24. Jazz Jazzy songs are all the rage, And jazzy dances, too. Jazzy folks forget their age. With jazzy songs so new. Synphonies are syncopated. The change that’s liked so well. Dances are anticipated. And all that’s jazz does sell. King Jazz has come to stay with us. Even quiet folks agree That he must have his chance to reign. So jazz along with me. And when the music starts to play. They’re all upon their feet. They’re ready for the coming lark, That’s every night in the week. Some folks have made this next re mark, “I’d like to jazz forever,” And when the crowd starts to depart. They jazz along together. ROGER A. ZOEBISCH.

Seniors Have you seen these dear old Seniors up in good old Sumner High ? They’re the funniest little Seniors that ever I did spy; There are big ones, there are small ones, some are tall and some are short, some think that they’re in such strange place, but aren’t sure that they belong. But we like our dear old Seniors, they are wide awake we claim — yes we need their pep and laughter, they will help us rise to fame. The Juniors have quite an honor it seems in having Bunny Hadfield cap- tain of the Baseball team in addition to being their president. Good work — Keep it up. Sumner High School wi shes that you Have a happy vacation ’neath Sunny skies and blue!

AVON Holbrook met and defeated Avon HOLBROOK AT SCITUATE The third game of the season was won by Holbrook when it met and de- feated Scituate to the tune of 27 to 5. It was a losely played game by both sides, especially Scituate. Scituate had a very poor team and their twirlers were hit terribly by Holbrook men. Hill pitched a good game but received little support, Holbrook making 8 errors. There was one home run by Hadfield and 3 three-baggers. Holbrook made 27 safe hits and Scituate 12. The Hol- brook team is coming along well with the sticks. We can count on the next Scituate game as won unless they improve very much. at a close game, the score 9-5. Avon shewed up well at the first of the game. Hammond started in the box for Holbrook. Holbrook could not seem to go smooth with him in the box. He was yanked and R. Hill put in. Then the team settled down to its regular stride. Wonderful effect those Hill brothers have on the team. Holbrook hit the deliveries of the Avon pitcher for 14 safe hits. E. Hill was the heavy man with the stic k for Holbrook. Osgood for Avon. Avon played good in the field, only making two errors, but at the stick they were weak, only getting 5 hits. Holbrook came along strong. This makes the last game with Avon as Holbrook has won both games.
