1924 TROUNCES CUSHING ACADEMY

Showing a great improvement in their all around playing, after their defeats at the hands of Andover and Middlesex, the Freshman baseball team turned back the Cushing Academy nine by a 7 to 1 score.

The Yearlings succeeded in lowering the number of its errors, before this far too large, to one, and in bunching their eleven hits. The result was a 7-1 victory. E. L. Gherke, who was on the Yearling mound, performed creditably, allowing only two hits and striking out six men. He also led the team on the offensive, getting three hits. One of these was a home run to left field that nearly rolled into the Stadium and drove in R. P. Bullard, who, a minute before, had smashed the ball to right for a triple.
