GAMES Two pre-season practice games were played with Braintree, one at Holbrook, and one at Braintree. S. H. S. dropped both these games to Braintree. The pitch- ing and fielding of both teams was rather ragged. S. H. S. — Scituate This game, scheduled to be played on our home grounds Wednesday, April 17, had to be postponed to Friday, 27, on ac- count of rain and general bad weather. Although Scituate is supposed to be South Shore League champions, and although they won the game, they were by no means way ahead of our boys as the final score showed Scituate only two points to the good. Though there was bad playing, the good play and hitting of S. H. S. evened up. The final score was Scituate 15 — S. H. S. 13. S. H. S.— Middleboro The first game of the season, due to the postponement of the Scituate game, was played with Middleboro on our home grounds. This first game of the season did not show our team up so well, but the re- sults of early season games have no bear- ing of late season games whatsoever. The Middleboro offensive as well as the defen- sive w T as better than that put up by S. H. S. Nevertheless, the team kept plugging along, managing to keep away from the shutout mark by several runs. The final score was Middleboro 15 — S. H. S. 6. S. H. S. — Thayer Academy This game, as well as the previous one, was played on our home grounds. This game with Thayer Seconds marked the first win by S. H. S. to be chalked up on our own little private scorecard. Still, our

THE ECHO 15 young spitball pitcher, showed his mas- tery of the white apple throughout the en- tire contest. To back up the pitching was a lot of peppering of the opposing pitchers offerings. Final score S. H. S. 12 — Thayer 9. S. H. S.— Middleboro The first away game of the season was played at Middleboro. Not much can be said about this game as it was practically a repetition of the game played at Hol- brook with Middleboro. It seems that if one thing on the team goes bad every part of it is hit by old man bad luck. The real baseball machinery of our team refused to function properly this day. Final score Middleboro 14— S. H. S. 9. S. H. S. — Thayer Academy This game played on Thayer’s home grounds proved to be what is called in baseball vernacular a “Whizzer”. This game was a very tight contest, the two teams being so evenly matched that the game ran to eleven innings before S. H. S. forged ahead with two runs to win. In the ninth inning the teams were in a dead- lock; this ran through the tenth to the eleventh. As S. H. S. were the visitors they were up first. Two runs were shoved across the plate before Thayer could man- age to put out three men. In the last of the eleventh our boys held Thayer score- less. The game ended with the score S. H. S. 16 — Thayer 14. S. H. S— Avon The game played with the second half of the foregoing title was played in the partly reconstructed Highland Park Am- phitheater. This game very nearly became another “whizzer” as the score was near- ly the same throughout the contest. In the last of the ninth the score was tied, but Avon managed to squeeze one run over the plate to win the game. Final score Avon 9— S. H. S. 8. S. H. S. — Canton This home game with Canton was played with a team clearly out of the class of S. H. S. Our team did the best they were able and kept their opponents score from becoming too large in the opening chap- ters, but, as the game drew out, Canton’s hitting became better, and our’s became worse. Towards the last of this tragedy in nine acts the Canton runs fairly flew across the old home pan. Final score Can- ton 20— S. H. S. 8. S. H. S. — West Bridgewater This game was almost as bad a massacre as the previous rout. West Bridgewater put up a strong pitcher who kept the hits of our team well scattered. Our men played well in the field but seemed unable to connect with the horsehide. Final score, West Bridgewater 12 — S. H. S. 3. S. H. S.— Sharon After a bad slump in our score column this game was a bright light in the dark- ness of despair. Our team trekked to Sharon, and although they brought no bacon home with them, they at least got a little salt pork. This game was a snappy contest from start to finish even though Sharon had a good hold on the best part of the score throughout the game. Final score Sharon 15— S. H. S. 12. J.

If we do have losing teams, we need the support all the more. A winning team doesn’t need to be spurred along, but a losing team does. Why is it that we can’t see more rooters out on the benches when there is a game going on? If you feel that you cannot help us with money, help us by your presence; that means a great deal more than nothing. It costs nothing to come out on the bleachers to root for the old S. H. S. Remember, it’s your team, your school, and your school is your future; so let’s not just see the same old support- ers, but let’s see some new ones to go along with them. Come on, pull for Sumner High! J. Allan MacKinlay, ’30, Athletic Editor. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This year has certainly been a record year for the girls’ basketball team. They have surely lived up to the prediction of last year. It was only through inexperi- ence of the game that they met so many defeats last year, as it was the first year of Girls’ Basketball at Sumner High School. This year the team’s standing is grade A. Under the careful coaching of Miss Richardson, the girls have been trained in the game, and with the squad’s co-opera- tion she has been able to bring the team to the top. She had many shining stars to pick her team from this year and from the results of the season’s playing you will all agree, I am sure. At the beginning of the season the girls met and elected captain and manager, who are P. Hutchinson, and E. Shipley, respec- tively. Miss Shipley, the manager, obtained games which are listed in the schedule be- low.
