GRADUATION NUMBER a return game. Tlie sc.ore was 6 to 4 in favor of Bel- mont. The local boys fought hard to pin a defeat on the champs but were unsuccessful. It will be remembered that the same teams met earlier in the season and Belmont won by fourteen runs. In the second clash Stoneham lost by tw ' o runs. One can readily see what a vast improvement our High School team has made. Shorty Dearborn started the game for j Stoneham. His pitching was very good and he held Belmont scoreless until the breaks went against him. Some of his team mates erred and a couple of hits enabled Belmont to get three runs. Shorty was then relieved by Lefty The- roux, the star sophomore hurler. Stone- ham got to Scott, who started for Bel- mont and he had to be relieved by Bar- rel, the ace of the Belmont pitching staff. Stoneham managed to score in the ninth, but Farrell had complete con- trol of the game during his stay in the box. Flanders, White, and Farrell shone for Belmont while Griffin, Stoneham’s first baseman, was the big noise for I Stoneham. Incidentally Freddie Cor- | coran, playing his first full game for | the blue and white, played well in the i center field. Stoneham High 8 — Reading High 7 Stoneham High’s baseball team de- feated Reading at the local ball field by the score of 8 to 7. The win enabled | Stoneham to take second place in the j Middlesex League standing. | Reading started the game by scoring four runs in the first inning. Theroux I was a bit wild in the first inning and was relieved by Dearborn, who held Reading for the remainder of the game. Several Stoneham rallies were checked by the masterful pitching of Dougherty. The Reading players bunched their hits early in the game and these hits figured in all their scoring. Stoneham gradually made the game more interesting by creeping up on Reading. Reading was leading 8 to 6 in the ninth inning when Stoneham came to bat. Griffin led off with a single to center field, Marston and Lun- dregan were passed. Spud Rice then came to bat and smacked out a double and the game was Stoneham’s.

The team played before one of the largest crowds of the season. The Stoneham boys hit MacPherson, the Winthrop pitcher, hard, but he re- ceived brilliant support. Several times the local team had the bases loaded but were unable to score. The longest hits of the game were made by Haley of Winthrop and Mar- ston of Stoneham. The fielding gem of the game was contributed by Joe Lundregan by mak- ing a shoe string catch from the bat of Shafer and executing a double play to Griffin at first base. Haley, McCann and MacPherson starred for Winthrop, while Marston, Griffin, Finnegan and Lundregan fea- tured for Stoneham. Griffin led the local boys at bat with [ 23 ]

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Merritt on the mound for Eeading. The fielding of Adzigian -vvas sensational as he figured in three double plays and making many difficult stops. White featured in the field for Eeading, Eed Marston, ] [olly Adzigian and Joey Lun- dregan starred at bat for Stoneham, Marston banging out a long triple. Crowe of Eeading hit a home run in the first inning with one man on base. Merritt and Doucette starred at bat for Eeading. By virtue of the Eeading victory, the teams close up on each other in the Middlesex League standing. Belmont easily clinched the Middlesex League championship. Lexington 7 — Stoneham 6 Stoneham journeyed to Lexington on May 22, and lost a heart breaking game. The score at the end of the game stood 7 to 6 in favor of Lexington. Marston started on the mound for Stoneham and received a warm recep- tion. When the deluge of hits, runs, errors, and passes ended, Lexington had a four run lead in the first frame. The second inning fouird Art Theroux pitching for Stoneham, with Marston in center field. Theroux pitched well and finally in the fourth inning Stoneham rallied pushing three runs across. The runs Avere produced 1)y a pass, an error and two fine clouts by Lundregan and Eice. Again in the sixth the Stoneham bats got to work and hits started going to all directions of the field and we col- lected three more tallies. This gave us a lead of 6 to 3, The game looked like Stoneham’s until the fateful seventh ar- rived. Lexington bunched a couple of hits in a roAv and then the locals became unsettled just long enough to let their opponents score four runs. The game was lost and with it went Stoneham ' s visions of first place. Carpenter and McPhee starred at bat for Lexington. For Stoneham Gray, Lundregan, and Eice came through with important hits while Griffin and Ad- zigian excelled in the field. Stoneham 3 — Howe 2 Stoneham defeated Howe High School in a ten inning thriller at the latter’s field. Theroux started on the mound for Stoneham, but was wild. Griffin fol- lowed, but retired in favor of Shorty Dearborn. Howe got aw’ay to a two run lead in the initial frame. Stoneham scored one run in the first inning. The score remained the same until the ninth inning when Stoneham staged a rally with two out. Marston hit a double to deep left, Eed advanced to third on Griffin’s infield hit and scored when Lundregan’s roller went through Burke. The game then went into extra innings. Dearborn opened up the tenth for the locals Avith a hard drive to left field, the hit being good for tAvo sacks. L. Dushane singled, sending Shorty to third. Widen then crashed out a long sacrifice fly upon which Dearborn scor- ed. Shorty turned back HoAve in the last of the tenth and Stoneham emerged victorious. The game was an example of the true fighting spirit the team has.
