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.

May 2 — Scituate at Scituate. May 6 — Avon at Holbrook. May 13 — W. Bridgewater at W. Bridgewater. May 27 — Thayer at Thayer. June 3 — Stoughton at Holbrook. June 5 — B. H. S. at Brockton. June 6 — Cohasset at Cohasset. June 9 — W. Bridgewater at Hol- brook. June 10 — Scituate at Holbrook. June 13 — Cohasset at Holbrook.

Summary of the games follows : Name Holbrook AB BH PO A Paine, lb 5 1 3 0 Hammond, If 4 2 1 0 E. Hill, ss 5 3 1 0 Hadfield, c 5 0 12 1 Hiltz, 3b 5 0 3 0 Johnson, cf 4 1 1 0 Hayden, 2b 4 2 2 1 R.

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.

HOL- BROOK Howard High beat Sumner by a narrow margin. The score was 6-5. The condition of the diamond was very poor and interfered considerable with the playing of the Holbrook boys, the pitcher’s box being some inches below level. Sumner played in rather bad luck, two of her play- ers, Hadfield and Hayden, being in- jured in former games, which neces- sitated a change in position, result- ing in throwing its team out of gear. Even so victory was in sight for Sum- ner when E. Hill was hit by a pitched ball and incapacitated for further playing and two errors made by him while in a groggy condition allowed two runs to come in. For a while Holbrook was on its feet in the 5th. when with three on Hiltz lined a fast one past third and only Dwyer delay- ing his dash for home prevented a winning score.

Hill was in fine form, striking out 12 and passing 1. Hadfield resumed his po- sition as catcher, his finger having healed up. The feature of the game was Hadfield’s home run, a beautiful line drive. Keep it up “Bunny” and you will make the A. A. Thayer put up a fight all through the game. The Holbrook team worked well on the field, making only two errors, the best so far this year. The game showed up Holbrook as a hard hit- ting team, getting 14 hits to Thayer’s 4.
