THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC Reading ' . ' “Art” Theroux, Stoneham’s port sider, held Reading to only one run and three hits, while he led his team at bat with three singles out of four times up. “Jimmy” Messina, who entered the contest in the fifth, con- tinued the good work. Coach Gordon’s boys started the first with three runs. Avery hit a hard grounder to third and got on first on the third baseman’s error. Corcoran followed and received a life on anoth- er misplay. “Red” Marston sacrificed to advance the runners. A stinging single by Adzigian brought the two runs in. Rice fiied out to left and Adzi ad- vanced, Kent’s out allowing him to trot in. Reading got its only run in the sec- ond on two singles and an error. The third was a baseball comedy of errors on the part of Reading. Adzi opened up by reaching first on a mis- play and Rice clocked a peach over thii ' d. Adzi came in on Kent’s grass cutter between short and third. Doher- ty got to first on an error to fill the bases. Downes cracked a sizzler to Gas- coigne, who juggled the ball as Rice and Kent raced home. Theroux follow- ed with a healthy wallop, chasing Do- herty and Downes over the platter. Avery got on first on an error, follow- ed by Corcoran on another misplay. Marston brought Theroux in with a sac- rifice and Adzi cleared the bases with a scorching single to end the scoring. After Stoneham got another in the fifth and four in the sixth, Reading agreed to stop the game at the end of the seventh because of the cold.

Stoneham 10 — Belmont 3 Stoneham rode rough-shod over the Belmont team, 10 to 3, in her second successive Middlesex League victory, Wednesday, April 30, at the Pomeworth street grounds, and seems well on the way to a second successive title. Still unbeaten in any of the league battles, the local boys are leading the race for the cup. “Art” Theroux, the mainstay of the pitching staff, allowed Belmont but four liits, while he and his teammate were slamming “Polly” Harris’s pitchers for tw’elve safeties. Belmont started right in to win the game, setting a run in the first on a pass, an out and a single. But Stone- ham came back in turn and clubbed out three tallies. Corcoran poled a peach out to center and then stole second, Marston slammed a wicked grounder just inside of third, driving Corcoran in ahead, made home when the left field- er let the ball roll through his legs. Adzigian followed with a line drive over third and scored on the longest wallop of the game, Kent’s screaming triple to left center. The second boosted the local’s total with four more. Downes started off witli a scorching single, “Art” Theroux came through with a clout nicely placed behind second, Downes reaching third on the play. Corcoran grounded to the second baseman, who threw home to nab Downes as he came in. But Downes reversed and outran the catcher back to third, allowing Fred to reach first to fill the sacks. “Red” Marston poled a grounder to short, forcing Downes at [ 20 ]

GRADUATION NUMBER the plate, still leaving the bases loaded. Adzi leaned on one of Butterworth’s fast slants and clouted a fast hopper inside second to right center. The cen- terfielder found it too hot and juggled it while Theroux, Corcoran, and Marston raced home. Adzi meanwhile contin- ued and reached home safely when the peg went wild. The Blue and White scored two more in the fourth. Belmont made a dying tlurry to increase her total by two. Another Stoneham run in the fifth spell- ed finis to the scoring.

The locals got their runs in three batches of four and a single marker in the second. They knocked out fourteen safe wallops, in- cluding a long three-bagger by Avery. Although Saugus managed to connect for nine safeties, Theroux kept them well scattered and fanned thirteen in eight frames while Doherty whiffed three in succession in the ninth. Adzi was the big sticker of the afternoon with three hits. Stoneham went into the last half of the third with fire in its eyes and hits pouring off the bats to emerge with four big markers. Theroux started off with a nice little single. The next man, Av- ery, died out to center. Corcoran took a walk and Marston filled the sacks with a timely single. Theroux and Cor- coran crossed the plate on Adzi’s health- ly two-bagger. Rice s single cleared the bases. After that big third it was all Stone- ham, Saugus threatening only once in the fourth to get another run. A lusty triple by Avery helped in the scoring in the sixth in which the locals got four runs followed by four more in the eighth.
