Brown 8, Unive rsify OF ofPennsylvania
Brown went wild yesterday afternoon
and when the game with the University
of Pennsylvania was ended the college
nine owned the college and the students
had taken possession OF the town. Con-
trary TO all expectations Brown had
stolen the game right out of the hands OF
the giants from the Quaker City and had
scored one of the greatest victories that
had ever been enjoyed by the college.
Up To the ninth inning the game had
belonged to the visitors but when Dono-
van Knocked a single with two men out
and Cook on third the tide turned
and before the third man could
be caught Brown had tied the
score. No more runs were made until the
first of the eleventh inning, when Brown
rushed in with another series OF cyclone
plays. Such run OF safe hits, such gall
liant sprinting around the bases has seldom
been seen in Lincoln field. Then the
crowd rose and yelled. Hats and canes
were broken and the two clubs played on
without being able TO hear the decisions OF
the umpire, but at 7o'clock the game was
the players We're seized by the spectators,
thrown upon their shoulders and carried
across the field.
Then the band appeared and the happy
men formed in line and went dancing and
shouting down the hill and up West
minister street to the Doyle monument,
Then the band clambered upon the pedes-
tai and played their liveliest music while
the boys formed large circles and danced
around the square.
On the return TO town the line stopped
at the Narragansett Hotel 20 serenade
the defeated Quakers and the nine, that
had shown itself 20 be composed of gem
tlemen, took the celebration good natured-
ly, waving their striped stockings from
the windows, joining in the college cheers
and addiDg~to the general excitement by
throwing water upon the heads of the
happy crowd.
After the return to the college the sue
~N%ooi Va hiht was AutO liDt uHu tS-
corted TO Tillinghast's where supper was
provided for them and the crowd dis
persed TO celebrate the great victory in
various ways.
The story OF the game itself may be
told In few words. Until the ninth in
ming Brown put up a very poor exhibition |
OF ball playing. Steere led the error |
column, with Donovan as u- rfusg
second and three of Pennsyl- |
vania's runs were made on their |
errors. Suddenly Brown started in to re- |
deem itself. Steere and Donovan made |
three magnificent stops of wicked |
balls and al, gathered to the !
support OF a White, who had |
played an almost perfect game, striking
out FIVE men and keeping the visitors |
down to six hits with total of seven,
while Brown made - hits with total of |
twenty.
The. visitors, however, played toget her |
like clcck-work, ana put up as pretty an /
exhibition OF ball playing as has been
seen for sometime, but their science was
poweriess TO overcome the luck that
valtzed IN to lead Brown to victory.
The score was:
