Foresters Meet Defeat Down at St. Joseph5s.

In a, fast and highly interesting game the Foresters from Rensselaer met their third defeat at the hands of the St.- Xavier’s nine by the final score of 7-6. The College boys came out in high spirits basing their hopes for certain victory upon the game of the previous Sunday. The Foresters, however, seemed to have forgotten the past and have held nought but a firm determination to win the game of the day. The score was close from first to last with St. Xavier’s in the lead until the eighth when the Foresters scored twice and left the bat leading by the narow margin of one run. There was no time to be lost on the part of the college boys and by the beginning of the ninth they had pounded the roler for two more duns, thus establishing the final score, 7-6 in their favor.

Luley, pitcher for the home team, performed splendidly giving his opponents but four hits. It was the first opportunity for Billy to show his pitching ability and he has proved himself inferior to none of St. Xavier’s ol dstand-bys in doing his big share of work to further the chances of victory. Healy pitched a good game for the visitors but was a little weak and easily found by the skilled batsmen of his opponents. s In all-around playing Thomas fetar* red for the Foresters, while Raible featured for the home team.
