THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC lierty for seven, but were unable to bunch them effectively except in the eighth, when they scored two runs. It was the seventh win out of ten starts for the local team. Stoneham broke into the scoring col- umn in the fourth without making a single clean safety. Avery walked to open the frame and advanced to second on Corcoran’s single. Avery stole third on the next pitched ball. Marston hit a grounder to second. Avery had start- ed for home at the crack of the bat and slid in safely as Corcoran rounded third. Marston tried to get to second on the play and was thrown out. As Marston was being thrown out Corcoran tried to reach home but was nailed at the plate. Two hits and an error gave the locals a couple of more runs in the seventh. Marston opened with a single to left field. Adzigian fanned. Eice got his second hit, Marston getting to third. Kent poked a grounder to the second baseman who booted it allowing Mar- ston to score. Doherty was passed, fill- ing the sacks. Mahoney then dropped a sacrifice bunt on which Eice scored. The next man struck out. Melrose gave Stoneham a scare in the eighth when they bunched two singles, a pass and a triple to put two runs over.

The first six innings was a pitchers’ battel, after which Cutler, on the mound for the visitors blew up. In the sixth, Jordan hit for the circuit but was call- ed out for failing to touch first.

Stoneham 11 — M. A. C. Freshmen 2 The Stoneham High baseball team journeyed to Amherst, Saturday, May 10, and defeated the Mass. Aggie Fresh- men by the score of 11 to 2. This trip, which was about one hundred and ten miles in k ngth, was something rather unusual for a Stoneham High team and was very interesting for all who took it. M. A. C. is the old camping ground of “Doc ’ Gordon, the baseball mentor at the local high, and ‘‘Doc” showed the boys the grounds and fraternity houses. The M. A. C. Freshmen opened the scoring in the first frame on an error and a two base hit but this lead was soon wiped out in the second inning on a two base hit, a base on balls, and two errors. The locals added two more runs in the third, after two were out, on two hits, and a passed ball by the catcher. The Stoneham boys added two runs in the sixth and scored the final four runs in the ninth. The M. A. C. Freshmen added their final run in the seventh. Rice and Adzigian did the heavy hit- ting for the locals while Smith was best at bat for M. A. C.

GRADUATION NUMBER tory out of five starts by trouncing Bel- mont Pligh at Belmont, 8 to 1, on Fri- day afternoon, May 24. “Sonny” Do- herty was on the mound and allowed only three hits and struck out ten men. Two homers, one by Kent in the third v ith two men on, and one by Marston in the seventh sewed up the ball game for the locals. Belmont used three pitchers during the game but their un- steadiness permitted Stoneham to win, although the Blue and White got only six safe ties. Three passes in a row by Howett in first gave Stoneham a run on Doherty’s infield hit. The third swelled Stone- liam’s total by three more when Ma- honey hit, Marston walked, and Kent banged out his homer. Two more came in on two passes and an error in the fifth. One in the seventh on Marston’s liomer and another in the ninth on Ad- zigian’s double and Peterson’s single ac- counted for Stoneham’s eight runs. Belmont’s only run came in the ninth after Coach Gordon had put in a com- plete new team and resulted from a hit sajidwiched between two errors.

Stoneham 7 — Reading 3 Flashing a snappy brand of baseball, the Stoneham High school team clinch- ed its second successive Middlesex League championship at Reading, Wed- nesday afternoon. May 29, by a score of 7 to 3. In the sixth inning. Umpire Featherstone called the game on ac- count of rain. Old Jupe Pluv, how- ever, did not act as a life saver, as the local aggregation outplayed the Read- ing team in every department of the game, and looked a winner from the start. Readiiig put up a poor defense, ten errors contributing largely to the Stone- ham scoring. The locals found Dorron for five hits, two of which were from the bat of Capt. “Red” Marston, whose solid triple was the best smash of the game. Pitcher Theroux played a tight brand of ball, allowing only three hits. The Reading team started off badly. Mahoney reached first on an error with one down in the first and went around to third on two more errors, scoring on a single by Rice. In the second Doherty was passed, ad- vanced on a passed ball by Doucette and tallied on Corcoran’s infield out. In this inning Reading scored on a pass and a double. Stoneham batted in another run in the third, when Marston poled out a three-ply wallop and scored on Kent’s single. Marston singled with one gone in the fifth. Eice was passed and a perfect double steal advanced both run- ners. Marston scored on a passed ball and Eice tallied on Kent’s drive to short. Both teams scored twice in the sixth, although Stoneham failed to get a hit in that inning. Corcoran was passed. Theroux was safe on an error at short and the second double steal was pulled oft ' . A misplay on Adzigian’s roller to second let Corcoran tally and Theroux cro ssed the plate on another error. A pass, coupled with a hit and an error gave Reading two runs. The summary :
