Healey ' '230 The team started off with new uni- forms, thanks To the girls and the Athletic Association. They won the first game from Saugus 8 to 5. One of the most interesting of the league games was the one with Win- chester. Stoneham took the lead at the start, batting out four runs from Mathews in the first inning. They kept the lead until the seventh, when Winchester scored four runs tlirou-gh errors in the outheld, Winning the game 6 to 4. On May 12, the nine took their old rivals, Wakefield into camp by a score of 4 to 2. Temple pitched a fine game, keeping the opponents' hits well scattered. The team has great need of a coach. In many of .the games it has ontbatted its opponents and then lost. Also many good chances to win games have been lost through plays which a coach would have prevented. It seems a pity that such a good bat- ting team should not have the proper coaching. Though the kindness of Mr. T. R Healey, a beautiful silver cup was of- fered for the player securing the highest batting average in more than tive league games. The following column shows the final averages.

The competition was even more close than the figures show, as both Ryder and Martin came within a hair's 'breadth of dcposing Finnegan, as the champion in the last game. The school, as well as the team owes its thanks to Mr. Healeyj The recent controversy between Stoneham and Woburn High has finally been settled in Stonehanfs favor. Judge Morton, in rendering the iinal decision refused to allow the case to go to a higher court as Woburn desired it should. .120 Track The team and the school deeply re- gret the loss of Capt. Worthen to the track team, his illness making it un- safe for him to run. George McDer- mott was elccted captain in his stead, In the recent interclass meet the Sophomores won easily. The Senior class came in second: the Freshman class third, and the Junior class last. As there is to be no football next year, it is hoped that all our efforts will be put on the track work, and that we will have one of the best teams ever had at Stoneham.
