It is probable that the batting averages wdll be maintained in relatively the same position. Dwyer, however, may rise to second or third place, as he has an uncanny knack of hitting dif- ficult pitchers, although he does no spectacular batting. E. Hill . Hadfield . R. Hill . . Dwyer . .

However, it is probable that Holbrook will defeat Avon if we are to judge from the last meet. All the Holbrook stars stand ready to equal or better their previous records. Long, Kearns, Hammond, and Hill are the most prominent men. In the high jump Long and Kearns stand first with a practice record of about 4 feet 6-7 inches. Long stands to take Holbrook’s entrance in the broad jump. He has hopped 17 feet. Pole vault also goes to Long at around 8 feet 9 inches. Hammond is premier man in the shot put with 35 feet his longest throw. Hill and Long stand out in the discus at 80 feet. Practically all the dashes either go to Kearns or Long with Hill a close second. Hayward, Nylands, Briel, and Hiltz, are the expected en- trants for the Freshman relay and Kearns, Long, Hill for the first three positions on the school relay, a new event, the fourth place being con- tested between Roberts, West and Hammond. Up to May 29 the team had an average of .666 on the games, an average incomparably higher than recent years and only equalled by Chet Beals and his team — if we can keep it up. As for the remaining games, we are practically certain of the coming Scituate games and have a very favorable chance with the re- maining. The Cohasset game will conclude one of the most successful seasons Sumner has ever played. Physical Culture Class On our return to school after the Christmas vacation, a physical cul- ture class was organized by Mr. Neal, our athletic instructor. Twenty minutes a day were devoted to this exercise. There was much grumbling at first, because the girls developed lame backs, arms, and legs ; after two or three weeks this feeling wore away and they began to see the sunny side of these exercises. They realized that these exercises were for their own good. Mr. Neal had ten assistants, Paul Long, Ed. Hill, W.

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.

30 r H i : K c I I o Roberts, John Greenhatch, W. Tay- lor, R. Hill, Alice Gallans, Emily Lewis, Marjorie Porter, Blanche Had- field, and Ruth Boardman. P. S. — Oh boy! how Alice would practice these exercises in Mr. Neal’s room afternoons. She was often heard saying,” Now, Mr. Neal, is this right? Do I execute the de- mands quickly enough?” But she certainly did do her stunts when she was in charge of the class. A. DANA, Society Editor. P. P. S. — Seeing that this came within the scope of the Athletic Editor I crabbed it for my columns. Dana may call those d-andy exercises a social event but the most of us called them something else. How about it, Dana? E. A. J., ’24, Athletic Director. “Play Ball” Glue was at the bat. Small pox was catching. Cigar was in the box, Strawberry was short, and Corn was in the field. Cabbage was manager because he had a big head. Cigar let Board walk, and Lemon made a homer by a tight squeeze. Long made a hit and Sawdust filled the bases. Then Soap cleaned up. Cigar v ent out and Balloon started to pitch but he went up in the air. Ice went to pitch and kept cool until he was hit, then you should hear the Ice Cream. Lightning finished the game by striking out 6 men. Grass cov- ered lots of ground in the field and the crowd cheered when Spider caught a fly. Steak was out at the plate and Clock wound up the game by striking out 3 times. Lunatic was put out because he was off his base. Bread loafed on third base and was put out and Knife was called out for cutting second base. Bird flew out. If Door had pitched he would have shut them out. G. 0. We will now sing the old song: We feed the baby garlic so we can find him in the dark. Press item — Mr. Blanks trousers. The morals of baseball seem rath- er dubious to me. What do you mean? They seem to think just as much of the man who steals a base as they do of the man who earns a run. Herman: “Have you read Payne’s Autobiography ?” Dana: “Why, I believe not! Who wrote it?” Papa: You should think of the higher things of life. Germaine: I do. I just love avi- ators ! Mamma : “How did you ever get caught in such a compromising posi- tion ?” Emily: “Well, he wanted to see the color of my eyes !” Mamma : “That’s harmless enough !” Emily: “Yes, — but he’s nearsight- ed.” Freshman: “If there is a fire you are in no danger — green material doesn’t burn.”
