THE WAMPUM 23 ing to the disbandment of the K. H. S. team. Batteries: Pembroke, Crowell and C. Johnson, Kingston, Henry and Howland. Struckout: Crowell, 133 Henry, 6. Base on Balls off Crowell, 2 5 off Henry, 4. Two Base Hits: Graham, Snow, Crowell and Raymond. P. H.. S. 2-P. A. 1 The second game with Partridge Academy proved to be a closely con- tested one. It developed into a pit- cher's battle between Crowell and Briggs, with the former a shade better than his rival. Pembroke secured its first run in the fourth, on a two bagger by Crowell, which sent Snow home. Partridge evened things up, however, in her half, when Crowell made a wild heave over second, which sent the little Duxbury catcher over the pan. Not until the ninth was P. H. S. able to put across the winning tally. With Snow on third, Fortesque tried to catch him napping and threw over the third baseman's head. Bill,' then romped home with the bacon. Summary: Two Base Hits, Crowell. Struckout, Briggs, 9 , Crowell, 15. Hit by pitcher, Burkett. Base on Balls, Crowell, 53 Briggs, 1. leisurely With the Partridge game ended Pembroke's schedule for the season. Seven games were played, all of which were won by Pembroke. This is a rec- ord of which the townspeople should be proud, and one for future teams to try to duplicate. Crowell was the unanimous choice for Captain and Burkett for Managerg but because the latter left school, Snow has been acting in that capacity. The baseball team for 1917 is much different from those that have repre- sented P. H. S. in the last two years. E. Johnson, Crossley and Graham were lost by graduation, and Burkett, our speedy shortstop, went to Rockland. We were, however, successful in hav- ing some very promising material from the incoming Freshman class, and Whitney, a Junior. The position of E. Johnson, last yearts heavy hitter and captain, has been taken by Whit- ney, who handles it like Jake Daubert. Snow has been shifted. to shortstop, where he is playing his accustomed good game. Markie is playing second, and Donnell again guards the hot corner,', a difficult place on account of the roughness of the ground. Our crack battery, Crowell and Johnson, were ready at the first call, the former twirled them over in fine style and his partner, Johnson, received them like a veteran. The number of candidates for the outfield was the largest in years, showing the interest each one has taken in the sport. Hill, West, and Torres are the first choice, with Roberts and Reed close seconds. We wish to thank Mr. Warner for his gift, and also Mr. Shepherd for the use of the Held. I The freshman stood on the burning deck, And so far as we can learn, He stood in perfect safety, For he was too green to burn. Ex.

22 THE WAMPUM however, and then the real ight began. The Woods were alive with the beasts, some were on the ground with their great clubs, while others were in trees hurling dswn huge stones. The howl- ing and shrieking was deafening, the ground was covered with dead and dy- ing. The ape-men, even in their last struggles, would bite a piece of flesh from a leg, if any came near them. The Indians once started to give way, but the encouragement of the gunners rallied them, and they charged. The foe in the tree had long before either climbed down or jumped onto the heads of their enemies, so that they had noth- ing now to fear from that direction. Soon the ape-men broke and fled 3 they were pushed backward to the very place where the day before they had executed the Indians, and there the ape-men disappeared from the plateau and Went out of existence. The young chief, being very grate- ful to the four explorers, showed them an underground passageway from the plateau. Their only luggage was their rifles and a large crudely-fashioned box, the contents were known only to Roxton and Challenger. Zamba, the one negro that had not deserted them, had sent for a rescue party, and the trip to civilization was uneventful. At a lecture given soon after their arrival at home, Prof. Challenger proved all his statements by the' use of the contents of this large box. It was one of the flying reptiles which had attacked them in the swamp. As soon as he was able, Malone went to see Gladys, whom to his unimagin- able surprise he found married to a clerk. The next evening at the club, Prof. Challenger had a surprise for them. He had, while on the plateau, picked up many small stones which he thought might be diamonds, and upon investigation he found them to be worth about two hundred thousand dollars. He would listen to no other agreement than an equal division, and upon asking them what they were go- ing to do with their portions, he learned that Summerlee intended to establish a museum, while Roxton and Malone were planning to take an- other chance on the old plateau.

Pembroke walloped the ball to all corners of the lot, and when the ninth inning was reached the score stood 17 to 8 in Pembroke,s fa- vor. The second game was called off, ow- -, in
