The base ball game on May Ist with Loyola University ended in favor of the home team by the score of 4 to 3. There was some high Class playing mingled with some, needless wrangling,, in consequence of which the game was long-drawn-out, and at times verged on the tedious. The university representatives maintained that they were not accustomed to a fast game and put their theory into faithful practice. The St. Joe battery starred for the locals. Landoll pitched a good game, and it was his first big game, and Steffes worked even better behind the bat. When the Varsity came to bat in the ninth the score was tied. Fitzgerald singled, Steffes duplicated, Fitzgerald going to third; Steffes stole second while Landoll struck out. Petzold went to bat, and was signaled to sacrifice and responded with a beautiful bunt down the first base line, while Fitzgerald scampered home with the winning run. 1-23-4-5-6-7-8-9—RHE Loyola 0-0-0-0-2-03-13—3 6 3 St. Joe 0-1-23-033-0-I—4 7 2 Umpires: McLain and Havorka.

Maloney pitched his first game and did well, striking out seven men and allowing five hits in five Innings. At the end of the fourth inning while sliding into first Steffes tore the tendons in his right ankle and he will be out of the game for some time. Though lie will be missed, there are catchers to fill his position, for both Roof and Schraff catch well. On Sunday afternoon Lafayette will be down for a game with the Varsity on the college grounds. The game will be called at 3 o’clock.
