SPORTING NEWS— BASE BALL The base ball team which represents the Manning- High School this season is as good as can be expected from a small high school like ours. The team has shown a marked improvement over the ball team of last year, in all departments of the game, and if this improvement continues, conditions for a fast winning team are faA ' orable in a few years to come. The team was coached by Maynard Jewett, a former High School graduate, and star athlete of the school. But prac- tice was greatly handicapped by lack of time and by the failure of many candi- dates to keep up in their work. The schedule included about fifteen games but as weather conditions were unfavorable the majority of them were cancelled. The following players made the team : G. Brown Capt. Wit ham Gould Dunn Hayes R. Sullivan B. Sullivan Dondero Cunningham Kalaboke M. Whittier R. Whittier Callahan Bean May 12 : Salem 20 Manning 15 Errors in the field were responsible for the large score. May 22 : Newburyport 8 Manning 16 The first success of the season was won by the fast playing of the infield and by Gould’s excellent pitching, only three balls being hit to the outfielders. J une 2 : Manchester 4 Manning 4 Gould pitched a fine game and received good support. The feature of the game was a spectacular catch by R. Sullivan in centerfield. June 9 : Beverly 15 Manning 7 On account of Manchester’s failure to show up, the team played an evening game with Beverly High and was com- pletely outclassed. Okerley, the Beverly pitcher, only allowed two hits. Errors went up to a total of 14 for our boys which showed their need of practice. FIELD DAY, JUNE 16 The first game of the season was played with Dummer Academy, at South By- field. The boys were greatly handicapped because the team was not picked until five minutes before the game and most of the positions were new to the players. The score w r as Dummer 17 Manning 3. The second game was also with Dum- mer at Ipswich. The team had picked up since their first game and played much better ball, Dummer being forced to use three pitchers. Errors in the field were responsible for most of Dummer ’s runs. Cunningham’s batting featured for Man- ning. The score was Dummer 16 Man- ning 12. There was an interesting program of athletic events, some of which w r ere : a quarter mile run; inter-class relay races; a 200 yard dash and a 100 yard dash; broad jump and high jump. The boys -who competed had practiced hard and made a good showing. FOOT BALL All who wish to take part in this sport next fall must be up in their studies for each year of attendance. Conditions are not very bright for a strong team as the boys are too light to compete with other high schools, whose teams outweigh them two to one. 17
