The Collegians succeeded in bunching theirs, whereas the visitors never got more than one jn an inning.

Morgan again singled in the sixth but was doubled when Conn droye a long fly to center. In the ninth Conn drove-out what ' should have been a run, the bailgoingfothehorthwestcofner of the gym, but in his hurry he failed to find second and his effort was futile. The college tossers went out in order until the flftn. Schraff drove a vicious single between third and short; Dalton was safe on a bungle; Roof sacrificed, both advancing. The next pitch was wild and Schraff scored. Then Clark proceeded to strike out the next six batters. In the eighth Curby singled, Maloney was safe on an error.
