A scratch hit by McCarthy, Concord catcher, in the second inning, prevented Theroux from a no-hit-no-run game. Not only did Theroux hold the visitors to a lone bingle, but fanned ten oppo- nents. He accomplished a feat that no [ 21 ]

Stoneham High Noses Out Arlington, 5 to 4 The Stoneham High School baseball team continued its winning streak on Wednesday afternoon, defeating the Ar- lington High nine at the latter’s dia- mond, 5 to 4 Theroux was the big noise of the Stoneham victory. He allowed but three hits and batted and fielded bril- liantly. The Stoneham team committed six errors during the fray and these er- rors allowed Arlington to score the majority of its runs while the local boys hit the ball hard in the pinches to score its runs. Stoneham took the lead in the second frame when Captain Adzigian singled and stole second. Kent scored “Adzie” when Lane made a slow play to first base. The local boys added another in tlie third inning when Theroux opened with a single to centerfield and was sac- I rificed by Corcoran. A timely single I by Dushane scored the second run of the game. Stoneham pushed across I another marker in the fourth on singles I by Marston, Kent and Hughes. Arlington drove one run in the fourth on two singles and a stolen base. The Spy Ponders came within one run of I the visitors, scoring another in the i sixth frame on a base on balls, sacrifice, and Abbott’s second hit of the game. Stoneham put the game on ice in the I seventh inning, driving across two runs ■ on a single by Hughes, a sacrifice by ■ Theroux, and successive singles by Wi- dell and Dushane. The Mystic Valley Leaguers came back to score one run in their half of the seventh on a base on balls and two errors by the Stoneham team. Arlington scored the final run I of the game in the eighth inning on a base on balls, stolen base, and two er- rors by the Middlesex Leaguers.

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Stoneham pitcher has done since the days of “Doc” Harris. Stoneham opened the scoring in the second inning when “Bed” Marston connected fo r a double across the road. “Bed” scored on the next play when Captain Adzigian’s hot grounder went through the second baseman. “Adzie” continued on to second when Concord made a play at the plate. Lundregan sent Adzigian home with the second run on his infield out, which completed the scoring for the inning. Stoneham added three more runs in the third frame. Widell opened the in- ning with a single and advanced on “Sonny” Doherty’s sacrifice. Kent, Marston, and Adzigian reached safely on miscues by the Concord infield, and “Joe” Lundregan cleaned the sacks with a clean double to left center. The local boys continued the bom- bardment in the fourth inning, chalk- ing up two more markers after “Vinny” Hughes opened the inning with a safe drive to center field and stole second base. “Sonny” Doherty worked Flan- nery for a base on balls, and Hughes went to third on Widell’s sacrifice fly to right field. “Al” Kent crashed a double over the center fielder’s head, scoring Hughes and Doherty. Westby relieved Flannery in the sixth inning and held Stoneham batters for the remainder of the game. Theroux held the Concord batters in check throughout the fray and only one oppo- nent reached second base throughout the game — that was in the eighth in- ning when he had a temporary wild spell and passed two batters. “Vinny” Hughes was the outstanding batter for Stoneham, collecting two singles in three trips to the plate while Marston, Kent, and Lundregan connect- ed for two ply wallops.

Concord’s Eighth Inning Rally Beats Stoneham Concord High turned the tables on the local nine at its own field, last Friday, Maj ' - 10, when it scored four runs in the eighth frame, winning 7 to 4. Up to that time, the game was a pitcher’s battle between Theroux and Westby. Stoneham got first blood in the second when Lundregan scored from second on Dushane’s single. Concord tied it up in the same inning after a single and two infield errors and took the lead in the next frame on a single, stolen base and error. Stoneham pushed across two runs in the sixth inning to take the lead once more. Corcoran reached first on an er- ror and advanced on Kent’s sacrifice while Marston was given a life on Pres- ci ' tfs fumble. With men on second and third, a timely bingle by “Joe” Lun- dregan sent two runs across. Concord tied the score in its half of the sixth on an error and two singles. A double play by the Stoneham infield pulled Theroux out of further trouble. Concord salted the game away in the eighth inning, scoring four runs on three errors by the ' Stoneham infield, a base on balls, and a timely double by Westby. Stoneham came back in the ninth to score one run on two bases on balls, and a single by Dushane. The summary: [ 22 ]
