The seniors on the club were Merle Spring, a very reliable moundsman and pinch hitterg Charlie Howe, the best third baseman in the leagueg Hunley Bean- lieu, leading hitter of the clubg Raymond Roussin, one of the best ball hawks in seasons: and Harold Randall, capable utility lielder and pitcher.

Richard Mclieen. john Carznnihalis, Owen Maher. and Donald Rand and Roger Williams were the managers.
