THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Last year the Stoneham High ball I tossers won the Middlesex Valley League trophy, a cup presented by the Athletic Associations of the contending teams, namely, Heading, Belmont, Lex- ington and Stoneham. To obtain pos- session of this cup it was necessary to play a three-game series with our lead- ing rival, Reading, who was in a tie for first place with us. There is no reason why Stoneham should not do the same again this year. Stoneham got away to a poor start this year dropping the first game to Winchester, 6 to 5, and the second to Lawrence, 13 to 4. Since then, however, the team’s continued prac- tice together with Mr. Morrill’s coach- ing have shown good results. The team up to now has played 15 games, winning 11 and losing 4. This is a gopd average. They have won all their league games so far. The team’s average in the league is 1000. The summary of the games is as follows: Lawrence 13 — Stoneham 4 On Thursday, April .19, Stoneham journeyed to Lawrence and suffered their second setback of the season. Stoneham 28 — Saugus 17 On Saturday April 21, Stoneham en- tertained the Saugus nine in a great slugging contest. The Arlington-Stoneham game was called off because of the weather. Stoneham 9 — Wakefield 5 On May 2, Stoneham went to Wake- field and pinned a defeat on their old rival to the tune of 9 to 5. Stoneham 13 — Watertown 2 Stoneham High easily defeated Water- town High on the playground, Saturday, May 5. Vic Duplin twirled for the Stoneham boys and was very effective al- lowing the visitors 3 hits and fanning 9. He was given great support. The Duplin boys, Maxwell, Jackson and Ro- tundi led at the bat. Winchester 6 — Stoneham 4 For the second time this year Stone- ham suffered defeat at the hands of Winchester. Stoneham 16 — Lexington 9 On May 11th, Stoneham played Lexing- ton on the latter’s diamond and won the first league encounter, 16 to 9. Stoneham 7 — Belmont 2 Stoneham went to Belmont May 16, and romped away with their second league game. The final count was 7 to 2 . Stoneham H. S. 15, Melrose H. S. 11 Stoneham high won a hard fought up-hill battle from its old rivals, Mel- rose high, 15 to 11, on the playground last Saturday afternoon, in a game re- plete with thrills. The visitors piled up seven runs in the first and second innings, and looked like easy winners. Stoneham high rallied gamely in the fourth, breaking the ice with four tallies, and forged ahead in the fifth Avith four more. The sixth also A T as a productive inning for the Stoneham boys, and the score was 12 to 7 in their favor, Avhen Melrose staged a desper- ate rally in the 8th, and came within one run of tying the count. In Stone- ham high’s half of the 8th, however, a final cluster of three put the game on ice. Extra base hits featured the con- test, V. Duplin driving out a triple and Maxwell and Shaw connecting for cir- cuit drives. Maxwell, McAnaney and Shaw led the batting Avith three hits each. The game was a glorious vic- tory, and showed that the local school boys are game to the core. There was some great rooting during the ral- lies. The score : STONEHAM H. S. R. Duplin, s V.

Champtrms Battered and bruised they come, limp- ing and out of plumb, shoulders dis- jointed and some carried on stretch- ers; broken of limb and jaw, gap- ing wounds sore and raw — men to in- spire awe; none of them w ' elchers. Home from the battle won out by the setting sun, victors five to one; give them a cheer. Best of their kind they are, so acknowledged wide and far, marked by honored scar, know- ing not fear. Mustering half a squad, facing luck good or odd, even their foes applaud their playing to win. So did the heroes hold. Thermopyae in days of old, succeeding by courage bold; they wouldn’t give in. First in the greatest game, champions whale or lame, now with their rivals tame they’re waited at home. Hark to the trumpet’s blare, see the towns- men gather there led by the smiling Mayor reciting this poem. Give them a welcome loud, let the shouting reach the cloud, telling them of city proud to honor their name. Show them the meed of skill make them speeches on the Hill — let the taxpayer foot the bill; they’ve been “playing the game.” How easy it is to mistranslate an overheard remark. Said Mrs. A, “They must have been to the zoo, because I heard her mention ‘a trained deer.’ ” Said Mrs. B, “No, no. They -were talk- ing about going away, and she said to him, ‘Find out about the train dear.’ ” Said Mrs. C, “I think you are both wrong. It seemed to me she was dis- cussing music, for she said ‘a trained ear’ very distinctly.’ ” A few minutes later the lady herself appeared, and they told her of their disagreement. “Well,” she laughed, “that’s certain- ly funny. You are poor guesses, all of you. The fact is, I’d been out to the country over night and I was asking my husband if it rained here last even- ing.” “Your honor,” said the burglar, “I was foodless, friendless and homeless.” “My man,” said the judge, “you move me deeply! Food, shelter and compan- ionship shall be yours for the next nine months.” An Irishman saw while passing through a graveyard, these words writ- ten on a tombstone: “I still live.” Pat looked a moment and then said, “Bejabbers, if I was dead, I’d own up to it.” i 18

The Stoneham boys started off like winners, scoring all their runs in the opening inning, and knocking Sontag, Methuen high’s star pitcher, out of the box. Templeman, who succeeded Sontag, stopped fur- ther run getting, although a threat- ening ninth inning rally was staged, only brilliant outfielding by the home nine preventing trouble. Duplin pitched well for Stoneham high, but was accorded poor support.

The game tightens S. H. S.’s chances for the cup. If we beat Belmont and Reading it will be won. Jackson, Fallon and R. Duplin were the heavy hitters, R.

The Stone- ham boys played heads up ball all the time and deserve credit for their work. The summary: Stoneham R. Duplin 2b V.
