Though the air was chill, the sun rays were warm and encouraged the All Stars and the Religious to engage in another base ball contest last Sunday afternoon. ‘Tihe game started in great spirit, and the first four innings were short. In the fifth the All Stars had two men on bases when Lill hammered out a three base hit, and Birkmier following with a single gave the All Stars three runs, and these proved to be only scores of the game. The players then settled again to the routine formality, yet in an interesting fashion, of alternating with three outs to the end of the innings. Both Burkart and Lill were rather wild, but the clever fielding back of them nipped many budding runs. This ends the base ball season with the All Stars as the Autumn Champions. These games have shown to Mgr. Fitzgerajd that there is an abundance of good material at the college for the up-building of a strong Varsity team next spring. The prospects are splendid, and if the players maintain the same wholesome and whole-souled spirit that animated them in the fall series, S. J. C. will again have a real, winning base ball team for the future diamond contests.
