Local Resident, Gordon Lewis To Be Inducted Into The Massachusetts Semi-Pro Intercity Baseball Hall Of Fame OGUNQUIT Gordon Lewis, Ogunquit resident, has been elected to the 2014 semi pro baseball Intercity Hall of Fame. The ceremony will occur on November 15 in Stoneham, MA. Lewis was a standout catcher for the Hosmer Chiefs of Medford. MA from 1958 to 1965. Two of Gordon’s teammates, pitcher Fred Knox and shortstop Ellis Lane, commented on his selection. “I have had many good receivers to throw to in my day. Gordy was the best. He was extremely knowledgeable in pitch selection and knowing the hitter’s strengths

and weaknesses. Wherever he put the glove, I just threw to it. I had great confidence in him
and waved off very few pitches. He was responsible for many of my wins,” said Knox.
“Gordy was a tremendous competitor – a line drive gap hitter - the bigger the game the better he played. He had a quick release and the most accurate arm I have ever seen. A great clutch hitter,” said Lane. Coming out of Melrose High School, where Gordy was All State, he was a pro prospect but opted for a baseball scholarship to U Mass that led to a successful business career. For nearly a quarter of a century (1957-1982) the Chiefs were the team to beat in the world of semipro baseball. Their fantastic feats on the baseball diamond were the
stuff legends were made of, and set the standard by which other local teams are compared today. In the early 1960’s, the Hosmer Chiefs barnstormed throughout New England, defeating the prestigious Cape Cod League champions, the Maine State champs (Ellsworth), New Hampshire Champs and the Boston Park League Champs (New Way Sweepers). That game was played at Frazier Field in Lynn MA where 5000 pre game tickets were sold. This game and See FAME page 10...

project provides new accessible living space, including an ADA bathroom, for a severely disabled child and his parentcaregivers in York. Jason Lajeunesse, owner of JDL Building & Remodeling in Greenland, NH, donated his own services as general contractor, and assembled a team of subcontractors and vendors who donated or discounted labor and materials costs. The work took nearly twelve months,
and Lajeunesse estimates that 1,250 man hours, including his own, were donated by volunteer crews. Construction work was provided for nine-year-old Miles Chumsae, a lifelong resident of York, who requires total care, and is non-ambulatory and wheelchair-bound. The new accessible space provides Miles with easy passage in his wheelchair, safe bathing for the first time in years, and space
