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.

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 ]

Time, 2 hours 35 minutes. Stoneham 4 — Walpole 2 A big fourth inning in which they scored three runs gave Stoneham High a victory over Walpole, 4 to 2, Saturday, May 3. “Sonny” Doherty, bearing down in the pinches, chocked off rallies b.y the Walpole team in the sixth and sev- enth, and his slashing double in the fourth, which drove in two runs was the big blow of the game. After the fourth, Stoneham was un- able to solve Fitzgerald, who was on the mound for Walpole, and only tight play and excellent pitching by Doherty held the visitors in check. “Sonny”, with a perfect day at bat, j led his team’s attack in addition to flinging a masterly game. Avery started the game by drawing a walk and was sacrificed to second by Cordoran. ‘ Eed” Marston crashed a sizzling single to score Avery for the first tally of the game. Adzi got on as Marston was thrown out at second but didn’t score after stealing 2nd and 3rd. The third was the big inning of the game for Coach Gordon’s boys. Again a pass started the stanza off, Marston taking a walk. The next two men struck out, but Kent, undiscouraged, poked out a long single to left. Then Doherty came through with the most telling swat of the game, a two-bagger, which scored Marston and Kent. A mo- ment later a pretty single by Downes scored Doherty with the fourth and last Stoneham run. But Walpole wasn’t through. She came back in the sixth for a run and was only stopped by “Sonny’s” closing the scoring with a strikeout with a man on third. Walpole threatened again in the sixth and garnered another run but from then on was held in cheek.

Stoneham 10 — Lexington 3 The Stoneham High baseball team ad- ded two more points to its credit in tlie Middlesex Valley League race when it took its third straight league game from Lexington on Friday, May 9, by the score of 10 to 3. The Stoneham boys played heads-up baseball from start to finish and although they were outhit 7 to 5, they made the most of the breaks. Stoneham opened the scoring in the second with two runs without a hit. Eice was safe on Lewis’ miscue, Kent walked and Connors advanced both run- ners a base. Downes and Theroux were hit by pitched balls and Avery hit a sacrifice fly to center field. Corcoran walked to fill the bases but Marston was thrown out by the pitcher. Stone- ham added five in the fourth, one in the fifth and two in the seventh to com- plete the scoring. Lexington scored one in the seventh, one in the eighth and one in the nintli.
