THE SCREECH OWL 31 ler and LeSage were the only Maynard players able to do anything with the Clinton pitcher. MAYNARD 6— WESTON 4 Maynard came into the win column behind the good left arm of John Usher. John kept hits well scattered until he tired in the last two innings, when Marcelonis took over and fin- ished the game in good relief style. Busty and LeSage hit well for Maynard, as did Albie Rogers, who came through with a timely single to score two runs and put Maynard out in front. HUDSON 6— MAYNARD 4 Our arch rivals from Hudson pulled one out of the bag, scoring three runs without a hit to win a hard fought ga me. Lefty LeSage, pitch- ing his first game, kept hits well scattered, and if it hadn’t been for a slight case of jitters in that one inning, Maynard might have come off with the victory. Mike Johnson with 3-5, including a homer, and Fritz Wasiluk’s triple were the outstand- ing contributions to Maynard’s four runs. The team looked well after a game or two, and the hitting power that the Coach expects is beginning to come out. MAYNARD 12— MILFORD 9 Maynard’s first league win over a strong Mil- ford nine gave our boys the boost and confi- dence they needed to go on to win more games. Hitting power came out on top, with May- nard’s Sluggers gathering thirteen hits. Paced by Hajduk, Jones, and Rogers, who gathered 3 hits apiece, Maynard won a well-earned vic- tory. Marcelonis pitched all the way for May- nard. MAYNARD 16— WAYLAND 4 An easy score and Maynard won going away. Hits rang out to all fields. Usher again held out well until he was re- lieved by Busty, who finished up in big league style in spite of its being his first game on the mound. LeSage and Lehto hit well for Maynard. CONCORD 6— MAYNARD 5 The wealthy towners dood it again. Their lucky charm still holds good over Maynard. As a result, we came off the field with defeat instead of victory. Maynard outhit and out- played, but did not outscore their rivals from Concord. Concord’s pitchers had Maynard’s batters fanning the breezes when base hits would have spelled victory. Three men on, no outs, next three batters foul. Maynard’s murderer row had failed.

IV Zancewicz Russo Burgess Messier Wohk Varsity Basketball For the first time in some ten or twelve years Maynard High was represented by a var- sity basketball team. Undertaking a schedule of nine games, all of which were to be played away from home, the team made a fair showing, winning three of the nine played. Without a regulation court to practice on, which accounted for all games’ being played away, the boys had difficulty in adjusting their play to the larger courts of other schools. The showing of the team led us to believe that in the years to come Maynard High can hold its own with any of the schools around, and given a place to practice and play in, they would give a splendid account of themselves. It was strictly a five-man team when they were on the floor, with no dominating star, so we include the names of members of the squad : Hajduk Novick Rogers Jones Marcelonis Johnson Ledgard Trench Sebastynowicz Taryma LeSage Hodgess Lyons Baseball The 1944 baseball season opened, finding Maynard once again a member of the Midland League. With a schedule of twelve games, the squad can look forward to a busy season, as the last game is played June 3. With a few veterans and some Seniors that have not played ball before, a fair team re- sulted, which shows a record of three wins and three defeats as of to date. Tlie opening game: CLINTON 10— MAYNARD 3 Lack of experience and confidence sent May- nard down to defeat in its opener. Not a hit was made by Maynard’s Sluggers until the ei hth inning, while Clinton teed off on the offerings of Marcelonis and Rogers. Capt. Mil-
