COLLEGEVILLE.

St Joe vs. St Xavier. St. Xavier’s were again defeated by the Varsity last Sunday by the close margin of one point in the tenth inning. The first part of the game was a walkaway for St. Xaviers. They found no trouble in connecting with Lili’s swift balls and until the sixth inning the score stood 5 to 0 in their favor. But Burkart was in no condition to pitch and he weakened considerably in the seventh round and the Varsity made good use Of the opening. They rallied and changed the tide of the game. St. Xaviers would still have won in the ninth had not two costly errors tied the score 5 to 5. In the tenth inning St. Xaviers did nothing; the Varsity scored on two clean hits and thus won out. This leaves the two teams on even footing each having won two games during this season. Hits off Burkart, 11; off Lili, 10. Struck out by Burkart, 8; by Lili, 18. Umpire, W. J. Nowak.
