BASEBALL Before the Baseball season started, an active town committee co-operated with a Legion committee to raise money for the purpose of buying new baseball uni- forms. Representative Roy Smith donated a Toastmaster to be put on chances; this with a successful card party provided ample funds. Before the season got under way, the Legion donated a watch fob to the player who should have the highest batting average for the season. At the time this was written, midway in the schedule, Charles George leads with a .364, Richard Quincy second with .319, Allen Murdock third, with an even .300 and fourth finds Chester Ignatowitz, only a freshman, with .235. Baseball practice got under way in earnest right after the April vacation. Coach Walsh had only two veterans, Charles George and Philip Hammond; however, by April 28, a team was listed to play Stetson High at Randolph. The boys were new and handed Stetson a game 13 to 2. On May 1 and 2 we dropped two more, the former to Weymouth Trade by an 18-8 decision, and the latter to West Bridgewater by a heart-breaking 11-10. The Weymouth game was played here. On May 5 we entertained West Bridgewater and avenged the 11-10 heart- breaker by winning 10-9. On May 19 Cohasset came here and walked away with a 23-14 victory. On May 11 in Avon we suffered another defeat to the tune of 19-3. At home on May 14 Thayer proved fodder for our second win by a 16-10 triumph.

All this had been coached by Miss Miriam West. The work of the boys, excellently coached by Principal G. L. Neal, was parallel bars, rings, horizontal bar, diving, and tumbling. A humorous boxing bout by J. Hagerty and H. Hamilton, both dressed as clowns and on roller skates, added to the interest of the evening’s performance.

First, John Card; second, Richard Quincy; and third, Harry Spieler. On the Freshman boys’ team the awards were first, Robert Townsend; second, Burwell Casperson.
