Chalmers Jumped On Our Bail Team, Winning by Score 7 to 1.

The high school baseball team wait to Chalmers Friday and received a crushing defeat to the tuna of 8 to 1. The Chalmers gang of bat wieldere were on the job and their heavy bombardment chased eight runs over the platter while the locals were getting one man across the rubber. The locals should have had at least another score or two, but for some stupid baserunning. Rensselaer obtained six hits but they were widely scattered. Healy was back on the mound after only ope day’s rest and was nicked for a/total of 12 safeties, which came in clusters. It was one, two, three foT both in the first, but in the second the Chalmers wrecking crew got busy and three hits with the aid of some boots chased two runs across the counting station. Rensselaer had a good opening in' the fifth after Blue had two timed to right. Babcock sacrificed him to third, where he was left stranded, after failing to score on the third baseman’s boot of Eigelsbach grasses The lone marker for the home gang came in the sixth when English singled to center. Beam advanced him to second on a bunt. Hollings-. worth looked at three. English stole third and counted when Chamberlin kicked Healy’s bounder. Chalmers came right back with another in their half of the sixth on a two-ply wallop by Hansell and advanced to third on Booster’s passed ball. Croker’s single sent him over. Red found the going hard in the 7th and was almost chased to cover. A brace of two sackers, a single and some concrete work by his mates allowed two more to count in this frame. A heavy bonmbardment in the eighth added three more runs to the Chalmers total, leaving the game at 8 to 1.
