CAPABLE BACKSTOP, JACK BOYLE only twice in the fray. Our two bingles came off the bats of Collupy and Gibbons in the fourth, but fast fielding prevented Fish from scoring on Bill's double. In tribute to the opposing moundsman, it must be noted that his control was perfect until he tired in the final frame and walked Kel and Hilt. There was one out when they reached, however, and Lee turned on steam to fan Ellard and force Gibby to line out to the first sacker. As the team left the field it was sure of one thing at least-that it had a pitcher, for Andy's 10 strikeouts was a notable achieve- ment against a team of Brookline's stature, and his principal victim had been the for- midable Misho, the highly-regarded first baseman, who whiffed three times. April 18th was a bitter cold day that was more like November than April, but we made the short trip to Cambridge to engage Browne and Nichols. Using the same line-up that had faced Brookline, we forged into a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Jim Grogan lashed out our first hit of the day after Gibby had -1 134 walked and Andy had reached on a two base error. Two frames later the home team tied it up when they produced their best blows of the game, a Tofias double and a Waite triple that was followed by a bobble in our infield. Although Bob Kelly led off with a hard double in the fifth, DiPesa, the B 8: N hurler, bore down to keep our second sacker from advancing. In the seventh the Cam- bridge lads touched up Andy for three con- secutive singles that brought in a run, but, with the bases loaded and no one out, the St. Sebastian southpaw pitched himself out of the hole without further damage. Trailing 5-2 at that point, we came in from the field to bat around and register six tallies that sewed up the contest in our favor. Although this outbreak was made possible by the loose play of the opposition, Andy, Ed Quirk and Kel were opportunists enough to come through with telling blows at the appropriate times to give us an 8-3 margin. Each team added one more marker before the game ended, our tally being scored by Bill Gibbons who started off our ninth with a screaming double. When the totals were tabulated, they revealed that we had been outhit 9-7, but McAuliffe had managed to scatter the enemy's bingles to such an extent that they did only a minimum of damage. In addition he chalked up 9 more strikeout victims and kept the ball on the ground so consistently that Bill Gibbons had a busy afternoon taking care of 15 chances. The following Wednesday found us play- ing our first Baseball contest at Thayer Academy in Braintree and the game proved to be one of the most interesting of the season. Living up to its tradition of producing fine diamond teams, the home nine jolted us right at the start when their lead-off man, Gerrish, poled a lengthy triple to deep center. That he did not die on third, however, was no fault of Andy's, for our rookie boxman fanned the side even though the run trickled in on an infield error. In the second inning, jim Grogan raised our hopes by blasting out a long double to the tennis courts in deep

center, but it came after two were out and he was left at the keystone sack. Again in the fourth we theatened to score when a double by Andy plus a walk and a hit bats- man filled the bases but once more there were two out and George McGoldrick's fine bid as a pinch-hitter was nullified by a fancy play by Curran, Thayer third baseman. The Braintree club took advantage of a pass in the third and followed it up by a Rutilla two-bagger that sent Holland across with their second run. This two tally deficit was bad enough, but we made the situation worse by presenting the opposition three more scores in the sixth without the benefit of a hit. After this debacle all seemed lost until we produced a five run eighth inning that made the contest a new ball game temporarily. With one down Hilt Collupy tagged a line drive over second to launch the attack and then the otherwise reliable Curran helped our cause by booting john Ellard's grounder. A fielder's choice that proved to be a hair too late loaded the bases and Andy proceeded to clean them with a savage double to right center to make it 5-3. Wavering for the minute, Gaskell walked Ed Quirk but came back to fan jim Grogan for the second out. At that critical juncture with the hit and run sign on George McGoldrick drove a sharp single to left center scoring Andy and send- ing Quirkie to third. When the play was made for Ed at the hot corner, McGoldrick scooted for second and made it safely. Keeping the rally going, Senior Frank O'Donoghue placed a nice grounder between short and third and the score was tied at 5-5. With Bob Kelly at bat, Coach Murphy flashed the steal signal to McGoldrick at third and he broke for the plate only to be called by Umpire Yetter even though it appeared as if Wade, the catcher, tagged him with an empty glove while holding the ball in his right hand. After such a grand comeback, it was ironical that we should give the de- cision away in the last half of the same frame, yet we did so after the first two men were retired, and Thayer took advantage of two miscues and a stolen base to register the KEYSTONE GUARDIAN, BOB KELLY winning marker and send us down to a 6-5 defeat. The records revealed that while we had outhit the Braintree aggregation 7-5, our fielding lapses had nullified McAuliffe's 14 strikeouts which were deserving of a better fate. In our last April game we tasted Victory again by downing a good Coyle High nine to the tune of 4-3. The hitting of George McGoldrick and Frank O'Donoghue at Thayer had entitled them to starting berths and they took over right field and third base respectively. Bob Kelly started us off on the right foot by leading off with a single in the first and this greeting obviously disturbed Fagan, the visiting hurler, to such a degree that he hit one batsman and passed two others, forcing in Kel with our Hrst run of -I 136 I-
