AMHERST WON TEE GAME.

gtnia Boys Meet Defeat In CONSEQUENCE.

CHICAGO, July 12.-virginia and
Amherst, the two undefeated teams in
the intercollegiate baseball tourna.
ment, met for the first time yesterday
before big crowd. The score was to
u, and the Southern players lost the
game.
Both clubs put their strongest lat.
series in the field, but Stephens, who
has been pitching remarkably strong
game for the Virginia boys in their
previous contests, was not at his best.
he became ratified at critical times, and
20 TINS more than anything else the de-
feat OF the Virginians was due.
1t was in the main a we'll PLAYED
game. The batting was good, Amherst
getting twelve and Virginia seven base
hits. The fielding was sharp. the errors
being only three to each team. The
batteries were Colby and Allen for
Amherst, and Stephens and Marshall
for Virginia. Colby never pitched in
better form.
For the Arst five innings the game
was against him, but he never lost
heart, and delivered ball that puzzled
the best OF the opposing batsmen, six
OF whom he struck out. Up to the sixth
inning the Southern boys had the game
"ohf VIC ecore pelnR TO In their
favor. Then Stephens seemed to
weaken, and the Amherst batters
jumped on him severely, securing four
runs. The playing to the end was
spirited, but the Virglnians were never
able to overcome the lead Of one run,
which in the eighth inning increased to
two. The features of the game were
the heavy hitting OF Allen and Smith
and the pitching of Colby for Amherst.
and the hard hitting of Stephens and
Smith for Virginia.
