On Decoration day the Varsity was automobiled to Brook and shoved into an unexpected defeat that was "given with whitewash trimmings while the locals gathered two runs." The Varsity batsmen were unable to touch up the swift shoots of Whiting, Brook’s sta,r center attraction. Although McGurren held his opponeUts to two hits, they managed to turn them, in ft sprinkling of errors, into base circuits. Both pitchers were in fine form in spite of the cold wave that had strayed from some February hiding place. Whiting struck out 18 collegians to the 10 that McGurren pinched at the gangplank. Hayes with his lone scratch hit robbed Whiting of the honor of a no-hit performance. The close game created great enthusiasm in the large crowd. The . Varsity reached third several times, once with three men on bases and no out, yet they failed to annex the the needed counts. In pinches Whiting was absolutely invincible. A little faster fielding on the part of the collegians would have run the game into extra sessions that only darkness might have ended as in the grueling battle of a year ago. The kindest treatment was accorded to the Varsity and the college rooters that accompanied the team, during their stay in the down river town. Batteries: Whiting and Wise, McGurren and Grathwohl.
