-g W Q 4 3 1 U lf -X V ' My K H. S. had done nothing in athletics ' for several years until the year 1927f 28, when C. E. Page, Jr., F. S. N. S. '27 of Greenville, Maine came to be principal of the Grammar School and to coach High School Athletics. Under his capable man' agement the interests of the boys, the girls, -and the town's people in athletics has been revived. BASEBALL THE outlook for baseball was fairly good although we needed much equipment, and had little or no money in the treasury. However we secured the most needed equip' ment. A good number of boys came out for practice and it was found that we had some good material for baseball. The first game was played with Phillips High School, from which we rode home with victory and the score of 12 to 5. TI-in next game was played with Rangeley High School. This team had defeated all the other teams in the northern division of the county, but we kept up our courage. This proved to be a very good game yet we were a little- too much for them and won 6 to 5. On hearing of this victory the town's people became more interested and began to give us much better support at our games. The following are the scores of the games: K. H. S. Opp. K. H. S. at Phillips 12 5 R. H. S. at Kingfield 6 5 Nl I ' 1 nfnblrlgs Af 9 P- -1 MQ i P. H. S. at Kingfield 18 8 K. H. S. at Stratton 17 5 K. H. S. at Rangeley 4 9 S. H. S. at Kingheldfforfeitj 1 0 This left Kingfield and Rangeley tied for the championship of the northern division of the county. A The game was played at Stratton, and the score was tied 9 to 9at the end of the ninth inning. In the eleventh inning a K. H. S. player got on third base, and by good team work the player got home. We held them for their last bats, and came home, the Champions of North Franklin County. jay held the champiomship for the south' ern division. The championship for the county was to be decided by a series of three games, the first to be played at Kingiield, the second at Jay, and the third Cif neededj to be played on a neutral field. Much interest in this contest was aroused in Kingfield and all the neighboring towns. The mills were shut down on the day of the big game at King- Held. This game was very exciting particf ularly for us as Kingheld took the lead and won with the score of 14 to 8. The next day we were to play at Jay but it rained causing the game to be played on the following day. A large crowd of rooters accompanied us. This also was a very interesting game but Jay won with the score of 9 to 6.
