but MacLeod demonstrated that he was a coming star by holding the heavy hitters of St. G'eorge to seven hits in 12 innings. We expect great things from Mac,' this year In another exciting 12-inning game we defeated the much reputed La Salle team 5-4 Parson knocking in the winning run. McGovern was our shining light throughout the year, not only pitching a brilliant game, but batting at the rate of .476. His great playing was an important factor in our race for the pennant. Captain Guild also comes in for his share of praise, belng our best run-getter and always to be relied on in a pinch where a hit was needed. Gerber game at short, but let us hope that he will keep up his lessons better thls year, and not deprive us of his services on account of studies. After the last game with Wooiisoclcet, the members of the team got together and Carroll captain for next season. Harry developed into a star catcher by the end of the season and ought to make a good captain. ' He will be the youngest played a great elected Harry man who has e ver been captain of a Hope Team. . Much credit for our success is due to Hugh Devlin, our coach. It was much ntiring efforts that we were able to develop a championship team out of rather discouraging material. As our manager has obtained his services for the coming season, and as many of our best season's men are still in school, our chances for a cham pionship team are the best which we have had for some years. through his u esebealll Seeres 1916 Hope 9 Moses Brown 4 Hope 9 Hope 4 Cranston 3 Hope 5 Hope 8 English 2 Hope 5 Hope 7 Classical 5 Hope 2 Hope 13 E.

Mgr.J BROWN CMgr.J MCGOVERN CARROLL GUILD CCapt.j PARSON BRICE VIRGIN XVATERMAN GERBER Q aseball Hope's prospects for a strong team at the beginning of the season were far from bright. Only two of our last year's veterans returned and one of the subs. At Captain Guild's call for candidates, about eighty came out to try for positions on the team. From this number the following were chosen 'to represent us on the diamond: Carroll, c.g McGovern, p., Parson, lb, Hickey, 2b, Gerber, s. s., Waterman, 3b 5 Captain Guild, 1. f., Brice, c. f., Virgin, r. f., Shea, Burwell, MacLeod, subs. We started the season well, winning the first eight games straight. However, our team had a slump and lost to English and then to Classical by close margins. After this we won from Pawtucket and East Providence, but lost our game at Woonsocket. At the close of the season there were three teams who had won 11 games and lost 3, Woonsocket, Pawtucket, and Hope. In a close and terribly exciting game at Pawtucket We barely managed to defeat them 7-6. This left us tied with lVoonsocket. The final game was scheduled for Melrose Park. Not much need be said about this game except that it was a walk-over for Hope, the Woonsocket pitcher being unable to do anything with our batsmen. This game gave the pennant to Hope. Of our exhibition games, we defeated Moses Brown easily to the tune of 9-4. The most enjoyable of our games was that at Newport, where we won from St. George 7-6 in a 12-inning contest. In this game we were without the services of our best pitcher, 12

NIAKEPEACE CMgr.j HICKEY PARSON BURBANK ROGERS BALLOU CAsst-. Mgr.j BRICE BURWELL MCBEE CCapt.J BRERETON Cnoss V VVILSON O'r1s WATERMAN MILLER CHASE Football E The football team of 1910, although it failed to bring another pennant to Hope, made a very creditable showing, considering the difficulties which were encountered. On account of injuries, we were deprived of the services of Waterman and Burbank before the league schedule started. Great credit is due to Coach Kerissey and Captain McBee for the able way in which they handled the team. We started- our season by defeating Milford, a strong team from Massachusetts. Although Hope only scored one touchdown, we easily demonstrated our superiority over the visitors. On the following Saturday, the team journeyed to Newport and beat St. George by a 6-0 score. Our next game was with Morris Heights, and although the latter was rumored to have the strongest team in Rhode Island, they were unable to score on Hope. iVe also played a tie game with B. M. C. Durfee High School, of Fall River, the score being 5-5. Our first defeat came at the hands of Moses Brown, when this team beat us 10-0. We opened our league season with Woonsocket, whom we had little trouble in beating 12-0. Classical was the next victim, going down to defeat by a 17-O score. 14
