Sumner had the same lineup with the absence of Reckards. We got one run in the second, then nothing until the fifth, where we scored nine. As the score signified, it was quite a batting game, and before it was finished, it was 18-10 in favor of Holbrook. Hiltz was hit quite freely in the second and was replaced by Callahan who did very well.

The next game was with East Bridge- water at East Bridgewater. Holbrook had quite a crowd of supporters with them, be- sides the two bus loads of pupils. Our line- up was the same as before. Hiltz again started the game. East Bridgewater scored three runs in the first, while we got none. In the second, Hiltz was replaced by Calla- han after permitting one hit. The score was 4-1 at the opening of the fifth. We earned three runs in that inning, two in the seventh, and one in the ninth, while East Bridgewater brought their total up to five against our seven. Due to some disagree- ment about the decision, we had quite an argument which ended by our departing for home, with the score of 7-6 in our favor in the last of the ninth.

It was a cloudy day, and that, coupled with a very bad field made it a rather draggy game. Callahan pitched and permitted only five hits, while we touched Asack and Crow- ley for a total of sixteen, netting us eleven runs, and their five getting them four. Final score 11-4.

THE ECHO 27 BASEBALL The baseball team is doing exceptionally well this year in spite of the expectation that we would be at an extreme disadvant- age because of the lack of practice early this year, due to the wet conditions of the field. The squad of about twenty-five reported for official practice in May, and Mr. Neal began his work of selecting the team. So far we think he has shown good judgment in choosing the boys to represent Sumner. The first game with Thayer Academy Second Team, at Holbrook, April 13, was called off on account of rain. On April 27 we had a game scheduled with Avon at home. It was a decidedly cloudy day, but as no rain fell, everyone was in the best of spirits. We all reported back quite early to get much needed prac- tice, and then waited patiently for the game to begin. Lindsay Hiltz pitched for us, and showed considerable skill in the field, get- ting thirteen strike-outs against nine for Butler, the Avon pitcher. The Avon team f ' eok the lead in the second inning by scor- ing two runs, but in the third we got three runs as a come-back, and held the lead throughout the rest of the game, the final score being 8-4. The summary is as follows: Sumner Waters c Dalton 2b Hiltz p Callahan ss Sears cf Reckards If Ferguson rf White lb Ahern 3b Avon Mann 2b Bezoian lb Kumpha c Puffer 3b Leach rf Butler p Hilton cf Young ss Nouyp If Umpire, Hayden.

Because of rain it was called off, and was to be played the next day, if weather conditions per- mitted. Wednesday, May 2, was very clear in the morning, but by the time we arrived at Cohasset in Shaw’s buses it was raining. However, the game got under way, regard- less of the weather. Mr. Neal decided to pitch Hiltz again in this game, and here again he carried out his end of the battle very effectively, getting a total of nine strike-outs, and being touched for only five hits; while Naun, the Cohasset twirler had only seven strike-outs to his credit, and twelve hits were taken from him. Cohas- set took the lead in the third inning mak- ing the score 1-0. In the fourth, we scored one, and the game progressed 1-1 until the seventh inning when we took out our bat- tle axes and stocked up four runs. Hiltz held the home team scoreless for the rest of the game, but now that we had started T e could not be stopped, and we added three more runs in the eighth. The lineup is as follows: Sumner Waters c Dalton 2b Hiltz p Callahan ss Sears cf Reckards If White lb Ahern 3b •Joyce rf Cohasset McAuliffe 3b Shinebrook If Naun p Donavon rf Litchfield 2b Parker ss Rose lb •James cf Alean c R H E 2 3 0 110 2 0 0 111 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 R H E 0 0 3 0 10 0 10 0 10 0 0 0 0 12 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 The third game, a return game with Avon was played on the new field at High- land Park, and with two victories chalked up for us we felt quite confident. Avon also was quite self-satisfied, and we were informed that they were out to defeat us. We arrived quite early, and as a result had nuite a bit of practice before the game. Mr. Neal decided to pitch Hiltz again, as he had been quite successful before, and ' ' ■on also used the same pitcher, Butler. Avon had made quite a few changes in the positions of their players, while ours was iust the same with the exception of Fergu- son. who handed in his suit because he had secured a position as chauffeur for some kindhearted old lady in South Braintree. w e took the lead in the second inning by scoring two runs and held the lead through- out the rest of the game. Again Hiltz was going very strong and was not touched for single hit until the eighth; then we caught the man attempting to steal second, =!o we were O. K. once more. In the ninth Puffer got a well placed hit between left p.nd center and was safely on third base be- fore he could be stopped. The feature of
