thought they could defeat the Collegians.
but they didn't. The game at Island Park
yesterday afternoon resulted in victory
for the College team by score of to 10.
Throughout the game the Virginias led
in batting. knocking Darby all over the
field. He was found for fourteen hits. four
being in the first and four in the fourth
inning. II was the reverse with the college
men. for they only received four hits dur
ing the game, three OF which were made
from Davis delivery. who pitched the first
two innings. Enright succeeded him in the
box. and Mike soon taught the students

third inning yesterday he exchanged places
with Lsftwich and played the first bag the
remainder of the game.
The game was rather loosely played by
both teams. and some very inexcusable er-
rors were made on both sides. In the
fourth. for an instance, Shelton hit q
high fly just left Of pitcher. 1t either be-
longed TO short stop or third base, and both

hands on il. and by the rules scorers were
forced to call it hit" But it wasn't.
The College outfeld had plenty of work
to do throughout the contest McManI

the result of sailing the sphere over the lei

Harrison and Foster. Darkness compelled
the umpire TO call the game after the eighth
inning.

score would have been different. The de-
