New Prep scored their lone tally. The Milton game, played on May 27, unfortunately proved to be a catastrophe as we went down to defeat, 15-4, Milton walloped thirteen hits, including three triples, off the services of Middlesex pitching, while only Childs, Green. and Rogerson could produce for the home team, as sixteen men went down swinging. A nightmare eighth inning, in which Milton sent thirteen men to the plate and scored nine runs, changed what had been a close game into a rout and shattered our hopes of upsetting our big rival. Onjune 3 the team traveled to Newport, R I to face a St George s outfit that had lost but one game all year We came close to giving them their second but finally suc cumbed by a 5 2 score despite fine pitching by ohnny Alles and good fielding Our batting still lacked punch Alles blow produced our first run in the seventh when Sr George s errored on the blow allowing ohnny to score Then inthe ninth we rallied for another tally but Perera s fly to left proved to be the final out Although defeated the team proved they were a ball club and left a good impression on which to end the season At a meeting of the lettermen Captain Rogerson Alles Pratt Green Romaine Hawks Perera Childs and Qprout and Manager Buttrick George Buehler was elected next year s captain l69l , . ., . , .
