The Pioneer ATHLETICS. At the beginning of the football season the question of football or fall baseball came up and was finally settled by both teams being started. In a short time the football team was forced to disband on account of lack of material. The baseball team play¬ ed several games and was useful in developing players for this season. At first the basket ball outlook was not promising as barely enough men for a team could be obtained and only two of these, Kingman and Captain Underhill, were experienced players. Interest was started in the sport, how¬ ever, by the formation of an inter¬ class league. New players came to light and all got the necessary prac¬ tice in headwork and quick thinking which comes only in close exciting games. As the result a fast heady team was developed which improved steadily throughout the season and ended by a brilliant victory over Mitchell’s Academy team, accounted a crack-a-jack prep school organiza¬ tion. The prospects for a good team next season are excellent, as we do not lose a player. Eames has been elected captain for next year. The interest in the boys’ class teams was so great that a girls’ league was formed. Both leagues succeeded, not only in furnishing interesting sport, but also in bringing out mater¬ ial for the first team. Mr. Watkins presented the winning teams with sil¬ ver cups on which the names of the players were engraved. In the boy’s league class ’09 took first honors; in the girls’ ’07. Neither lost a game although both figured in several close contests. The names of the cup winners are as follows; Sophomore Team, winner of boys’ trophy, Harlan Eames, Ward Foote, Elmer Field, Lawrence ParkeT- Reginald Stembridge, Victor Tren- holm, Edwin Davis. Senior team, winner of girls’ trophy, Violet B. Robinson, Dotty Hodson, Jennie Parker, ' G-ertrude Granfield, A. Clare Killam, Lealia Jones, Annie M. Davis. The girls’ basket ball team organi¬ zed for the season with Jessie Nichols as captain and Gertrude Granfield as manager. The team was made up as follows;’ Nichols, Killam, forwards; O’Brien, centre; Hodson, G. Granfield, backs; S. Granfield, sub. BOYS’ BASKET BALL RESULTS. R. H. S. 3, Winchester 50. lost; R. H.

S. 3, Melrose 4, lost. The baseball season started with five of last year’s players and some promising new material which had been tried out in the fall practice, a- vailable. Martin Devaney was elected captain and John O’Brien manager. With Flint, Kingman, Chase, Brooks and Devaney as a nucleus a strong team has been developed which, taking into consideration the fact that Read¬ ing’s schedule includes teams from much larger towns, has made a very creditable showing. A fair propor¬ tion of victories has fallen to our lot and the games lost have been in nearly every instance, close. Attacks of “rattles” have been few but several games have been lost by carelessness especially in baserunning. The team is a well balanced one and in Chase and Flint we have two good pitchers with experience. While in many ways this season has proven a satisfactory one we may hope for better things next year, as we will not lose a mem¬ ber of this year’s team. A season of playing together should give teamplay and knowledge of “inside” ball which will carry with it a big advantage.
