Yardling Batters Succumb to Lawrence Academy, 5 to 0

Without the services of first baseman Ed Buckley and catcher Bill Parsons, who remained home to participate in a spring practice football game, the Yardlings went down to defeat Saturday at the hands of Lawrence Academy in a game played at Groton.

The opposition bunched five hits and took advantage of two Crimson miscues to score all their runs in the first frame.
