...Meears, who has performed brilliantly in relief roles, got the starting nod from Coach Moe Berg and pitched adequately, allowing one run and two hits in 11 innings on the mound. Jim Gabler came on in the twelfth and gave up another...

In fact, a total of four pitchers are cavorting elsewhere than the mound. "They're fast, and we need the batting strength," claims Berg. Third baseman Vinnie Morton, shortstop Hal Marshall, and second sacker Harry Cavanaugh played in the same infield at Roxbury Latin last year.

In fact, Coach Mel Collard has named practically an all-veteran lineup. Only outfielders Walt Anderson and George Boston, erstwhile Crimson athlete, are newcomers. Boston bat's in the cleanup slot...
