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 ]

Stoneham 7 — Concord 0 Batting and fielding behind the mas- terly pitching of “Art” Theroux, who held the Concord High batsmen to one scratch hit, the Stoneham High nine had little difficulty in defeating Concord High at the Pomeworth Street grounds, Saturday, April 27, 7 to 0. 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 ]

GRADUATION NUMBER Cunningham 3b Concord ab bh po 3 0 1 Stoneham, 6 to 3 A ninth inning rally by the Wakefield High baseball team beat the Stoneham High nine in the opening game of the season at the Pomeworth Street grounds, 6 to 3. Both teams were staging a nip and tuck battle until the ninth frame when Wakefield pushed three runs across the plate to win the ball game. Almost every inning Stoneham had men on the sacks but failed to hit in the pinches while Wakefield bunched their hits for all its runs. With the score tied three all at the beginning of the ninth inning, Hubbard, the first Wakefield batter, was passed, Lewis sent him along with a bunt and Cotter sin- gled. Doyle beat out a slow roller and Ball doubled to score three runs and win the ball game. Dearborn relieved Theroux in the box for Stoneham in the sixth inning and was not as effective as the latter. Mar- Heylinger If 3 0 1 0 ston and Adzigian were the outstanding Jagling ss 4 1 1 2 sluggers of the game while the fielding Farrar c 3 2 8 3 of Peterson and Kent featured.
