Somerville to Play Peabody at Beverly Saturday
Somerville High will meet Peabody High at Beverly on Saturday rather than travel to Toledo Ohio for an intersectional game with Scott High. Toledo officials refused Somerville's demand for a 1000 dollar guarantee, leading to the switch. Peabody, coached by Leander MacDonald, has only lost to Manchester New Hampshire High 7 to 6 and enters the matchup with a strong season. Somerville's team, despite a 7 nothing defeat to Medford High for the suburban league title, has profited from a fast travel schedule and a full week of practice under Coach Dickerman.
