COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Sunday, May 19, the Varsity met St. Xaviers on the diamond for the thifd time this spring and for the third time the score at the end stood 2 to 1. St Xaviers had defeated Che Varsity twice but the latter succeeded in slipping one over the former in the last battle. .The score stood 1 to 0 in favor of St. Xaviers at th*. end of the sixth. With one down Rachor gained the initial sack on an error by Leissing; Whitcomb fanned; Fitzgerald Was purposely given a warlk; Sindelar slashed out a single over short; Landoltl heaved the ball over second and-it bounded on into the crowd. Both runners scored. St. Xaviers protested on the strength of a ground rule allowing only one base on overthrow, to home, first and third hues. The protest, however, was overruled, and by decision of the umpire both runs counted. This left the score 2 to * in favor of the Varsity, and thus it remained to the end. There were many exciting turns in the game. A few times both sides bad the bases filled with none or one out, but could not score. The Varsity lost a few chances when they might have scored three men being thus caught off their guard. 2 base hit—Fitzgerald; struck ob balls, o* Ull 1, off Burkart L Hit
