IS THE WAMPUM and Tommy, the live coach, at bat, he hit a speedy grounder to Burkett, who disposed of the runner at first. The great pitching of Crowell was the fea- ture of the game, giving one base on balls and four scratch hits with a total of seven bases. Batteries : Pembroke ; Crowell and B. Donnell. Partridge; Briggs, Carey and Prince. Strikeouts: Crowell 11, Briggs 6. Bases on Balls, Crowell 1, Briggs 2. Umpire, Hartford. Hanover H. S. 14, Pembroke H. S. 4. In a loosely played game in which the errors of Pembroke were the fea- ture, Hanover High beat Pembroke High, 14 to 4. The members of the home team were more or less tired and unable to do their best work. For the winners Flavell pitched good ball, which coupled with Al support, was able to hold Pembroke to four runs. Crowell had an off day, allowing ten bases on balls. The hitting of E. John- son and Snow, and a spectacular catch by C. Johnson were the only bright features of the Pembroke boys ' playing. Batteries: Hanover; Flavell and I. Hunt. Pembroke; Crowell, Snow and B. Donnell. Strikeouts, Flavell 8,. Crowell 13. Bases on Balls, Flavell 3. Crowell 10. Umpire, Downes. Pembroke H. S. 11, Marshfield H. S. 7. Pembroke High beat Marshfield High 11 to 7 at Pembroke. Marshfield came up amid much din and racket, only to go home a glum and dejected bunch. Crowell pitched a star game, striking out fifteen and giving but four walking tickets. In this game the hitting of B. Donnell and Snow was noticeable. Pembroke knocked the first Marshfield pitcher out of the box with a series of hits. Batteries: Pembroke; Crowell, B. Donnell. Marshfield; Sinnot, Sim- monds, Taggot. Strikeouts: Crowell 15, Simmonds 3. Bases on Balls, Crowell 4, Simmonds 5. Umpires, Pulsifer and Flavell. Pembroke H. S. 13, Hanover H. S. 11. In a game that was veritably a slug- ging match, Pembroke High defeated Hanover High, 13 to 11. Hanover, ex- pecting a walk-over, started with their third-string pitcher who met his Nemesis in the first inning, after six runs had been scored. He was sup- planted by another, who soon got his passport. Henderson then went in, and managed to hold Pembroke to six runs. Charles Johnson of Pembroke, after a high fly, ran into a fence and had to stay out of the rest of the game. Young was tried second and played a clean, steady game, catching a difficult fly. In the ninth inning the score was a tie, until a single by Crossley and a three-bagger by E. Johnson brought things to a crisis. Crossley in stealing home drew a throw that was wild, and on this Johnson scored. Hanover re- tired in the ninth easily. The first man struck out, the second hit a pop fly to Young, and the third whiffed the breezes. Batteries: Pembroke; Crowell and Donnell. Hanover; Hunt, Henderson, Howes, Thompson. Bases on Balls, Crowell 4, Henderson 2, Thompson 2. Strikeouts; Crowell 9, Henderson 5, Thompson 4. Umpire, Pulsifer. At- tendance 100. Time, 1 hour, 40 min- utes. With four games won, and only one lost, the prospect certainly looks br ight. We intend to beat Marshfield easily, Partridge not so easily, but win from them nevertheless. We hope that a rubber may be played with Han- over. LINEUP. Burkett, 3b. Young, 2b. Snow, s.s. Crossley, c.f. E. Johnson, lb. Graham, A. Donnell, r.f. B. Donnell, c. C. Johnson, l.f. Crowell, p.

Athletics The members of the base ball team met at the end of the last season, 1914, and unanimously re-elected Elwood Johnson to lead the team for 1915. Johnson came into prominence in 1913, and played a good game at cen- ter field. Last year he played a great game at first base, as well as doing good work at the bat. Ben Donnell was re-elected manager for 1915. For the last two seasons he has caught for the team. At graduation we lost Ralph MacKenzie, a former captain, and sec- ond baseman, and a splendid all around player. Of the freshman class, Clyde Young and Arthur Donnell are playing on the regular team. Pembroke H. S. 7, Brayantville, 2. April 17th the High School team played a picked-up team from Bryant- ville, the score being 7-2 in favor of the P. H. S. This was the first game in the season of 1915, but considering the fact that the day was windy and cold, and the fellows had not had much practice, they played a good game and made things very interesting during all nine innings. Snow and Burkett were right there in the infield to stop things, and Crowell, with a loyal sup- port in the outfield, held the visiting team down to two runs. Batteries: Pembroke; Crowell and B. Donnell. Bryantville; Russo, Bu- lange and Hill. Pembroke H. S. 9, Partridge Academy, 7. 100 or more loyal fans turned out to see Pembroke play its first regular game of the season with Partridge at Duxbury, defeating them 9 to 7. Partridge put in their second string pitcher who was knocked out of the box in the first inning by a series of hits, and was quickly replaced by Briggs. Crowell was given great support and easily held the Partridge sluggers to five hits and seven runs with a total of nine bases. The Pembroke boys were very happy when, in the ninth inning with two outs and two men on

THE WAMPUM at short and third respectively. E. Johnson and Snow, as of last year, are leading with the bat. This year we will lose by graduation B. Donnell, whose steady catching and hitting have 19 been such a valuable asset to the team. But there is much material to be de- veloped for catcher, so we hope to make the team of 1916 an improvement even on the one of 1915.
