WRENS PLAYED LOOSELY BUT WON SUNDAY GAME.

Defeated Lafayette Y. M. L Team By 8 to 5 In game Fraught With Many Blunders. In a comedy of errors the Wrens defeated the supposedly fast Y. M. I. team, of Lafayette, at Riverside, by a score of 8 to "5. The Lafayette boys started out as ifjhey intended to make a runaway game of it, securing three runs in the second only one hit. The damage consisted of a base on balls and four errors. For three innings the Wrens were able to push hut one bird across the plate and the fourth opened with the score 3 to 1 against them. Then “It" happened, we are afraid to say exactly what took place, but the entire Rensselaer team batted and five hits, one passed man, two stolen bases and four errors netted the Wrens seven runs and cinched the game. The game was practically over after the fourth inning as the fight was all out of the visitors and although they came back in the seventh and scored twice on an error, a single and a two-bagger, they were never dangerous. ~ The Wrens play Brook at Brook Wednesday and the boys are pulling for their fifteenth victory out of seventeen games played.
