THE JOURNAL BASEBALL ARTHUR M. POND At the first call for baseball candidates the old-time High School spirit prevailed. Over thirty men came out in response to Pat's notice. VVith Bobby Gregg as captain and eight veterans of last year, Taunton is out for the championship of the Bristol County league and for the cup. The baseball team is putting over a better brand of playing than in former years. Backed by the A. A., numbering over three hundred members, and by the enthusiastic support of the student body, the Orange and Black is sure to be the winner. GIRLS' BASKET BALL LOUISE AUSTIN The girls' gymnasium, under the instruction of Mr. Danolds, has been a great success. As soon as the girls had been drilled in the regular set- ting-up exercises, they entered directly into basket ball. A series of in- teresting games was played between the Sophomore, junior, and Senior classes, a plan which tended to foster class spirit in a large degree. Not withstanding the fact that some of the girls on the teams had never played before, there were some snappy games full of quick. dashy playing. Vlfhen spring came, the girls were taught indoor baseball. There were some veryexciting gamesdown in the gyn1nasium,even though the players were not entirely professional in appearance. Basket ball and baseball were the most common sports, but of the two, basket ball is undoubtedly the more important. A few years ago basket ball was of very little import in schools and colleges, but in the last two years, it has risen in popularity to the side of baseball and football. Practically every high school of any size or importance has a girls' basket ball team. The girls of Taunton High have material to produce a winning team. The objection may immediately arise that they have had altogether too little experience, that they are over-confident. That quality is not over- confidence, but enthusiasm. It is because of enthusiasm that the mem- bers of the girls' gym. class of '21 have it in their power to win, and they are all looking forward to next winter in great anticipation of the time when they can give further proof of their ability.
