St. Joseph Defeats Y. M. P. C., of Lafayette.

On Sunday afternoon the Varsity defeated the Y. M. P. Club, of Lafayette, in a genuine swatting fest. The Collegians raised their improving batting average by annexing eleven real hits. Two of these were for three bases and two for an easy circle to the home station. JSindelar, the lanky first sacker, was the batting master, getting the two homers and a triple. His last homer was one of the longest drives ever made on the local diamond, settling at the steps to the north entrance of the college building. Gerald Maloney, the little fellow from Tefft, was on the slab for the Varsity and pitched a game that showed real Varsity caliber. If he keeps up the work he in the game he will prove a worthy successor to Lili and will aid the Varsity materially in keeping their record clean. Steffes’ ankle not yet being mended, Roof was behind the bat and caught a good game. The same is true of the individual playing and of the team work. Captain McArdle*is getting some inside work into the team and the plays are delivered well when the team is in action. The Score:

- 1-2-34-5-6-7-8-9—RHE St. Joseph ...1-0-2-0-1-1-1-6-o—l2-11- 3 Y. M. P. C.... .0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-2 3-8-6 St. Joseph batteries: Maloney, Roof; Y. M. P. C. batteries; Newhardt, Belle. Umpires, McLain, Havorka.
