Baseball The call for baseball was received with much enthusiasm and planning by both Coach Moynihan and the players. With the return of eight veterans Jim Burns, Vin Quealy, Tom Burns, Tom Flanagan, 'lim Moloney, Joe Curry, Frank Kenney, Ed Hurley, and a newcomer, Dave Conlin, a successful season was virtually assured. Of course, the team was built around Captain .lim Burns, the nucleus of the pitching staff. St. Mary's promises to be very potent at the bat with such thumpers as jim and Tom Burns, Ed Hurley, ,lim Moloney, Bill Kenneyhloe Curry, and Vin Quealy provid- ing the spark. The opening game found St. Mary's go- ing down to defeat at the hands of Cathe- dral by a score of three to one, although jim Burns covered himself with glory, fan- ning eighteen and allowing but three hits. The second game saw the Blue and Gold array topple Our l..ady's from the top of the heap as Jim Burns and Dave Conlin set down the visitors with but six hits, while ,lim Moloney and Ed Hurley were setting the pace for the local nine. The third game on the roster found the high-school nine journeying to Waltham where they defeated the highly touted St. Mary's team by a score of fifteen to four. jim Moloney again set the pace by his heavy hitting while Jim Burns kept seven hits well scattered and fanned fifteen. May 15 saw the season half over with the win and loss column displaying four victories and four defeats for a five hundred average. As the second half gets underway we look for the Blue and Gold outfit to bounce back and keep the leading ball teams on their toes. Coach Moynihan's boys have been termed by sports writers as the hard luck team of the circuit. Hence, we expect to see St. Mary's regain their winning ways this half and be a real con- tender for top honors. V1NcENT QUEALY l63l nihan, Captain Burns, Curry, T. Burns H. Meade, W. Burke, E.
