sTASDrxo OF THE CLUBS
BROWN FRESHMEN VS.. sopHoMoREs.

The annual baseball game between the
Freshmen and Sophomores of Brown took
place yesterday afternoon on Lincoln
Field, and proved to be one OF the most
interesting and exciting times Brown has
seen In some years. The managers of
the two teams met and ii was agreed to
allow the Varsity base ball men to play
on condition that they played out OF their
regular places. The Sophomores got
the better OF this deal as they had six
Varsity men and the Freshmen had only
three.
Asa whole the game was not first
class exhibition OF base ball, although
there were some very pretty plays made
during the game. Tommy Dunno took
the.palm In this line By his one-handed
catch Of long fly in the left corner OF
the fold. IL was the most sensational
catch that has been made. on the field this
year.
For the Sophomores Barrows and
Lauder played the best game. The former
made two pretty catches in right field
and played an crroriess game on second
base for i've innings. The Sophs came
to the bat first and started the fun and
sent one man across the plate on the
errors of the Freshies. Graves was In
the box for 1913 and was exceedingly
wild, and after the Freshmen had scored
five runs Rodman was called TO the box
from left field. Rodman stopped the
inning no scoring was done, but Sum-
mersgill distinguished himself by catch
ing pretty line hit from Ives bat nearly
out in right field territory. By the end
of this inning the Freshmen had begun
to jeer the '9S men and the noise lasted
that il was quite essential for their future
happiness to win out the game and they
brought down the bass drum and GYM
balls and started IN to rattle the ninety
nine ball players.
In the third inning each side scored a
run, and the Sophs began 10 look anxious
but the fourth inning changed matters.
Gammons started in with a hit, and
Dune followed him and the Sophomores
piled mp four runs by their hits and the
Freshmen's errors. The Freshmen in
their half added their last tally to the
score, and at tho end OF the inning il
was TO in favor OF the Freshmen. In
the fifth inning the Sophomores added
three more runs to their score and took
the lead for the first time in the game,
but the '99 boys never saw the game
again. It was in this inning when the
kophomores seemed TO be scoring very
fast that Tommy Dunno made his pretty
catch from LADDERS bat and retired the
side. The game was now at its height.
The Sopbs were banging the old base drum
and singing siurring songs for the benefit
Of the freshmen when flag was hoisted
''s9" on II. Immediately the '9S men
started in 10 take IL down, but II was "no
CO." The freshies had IL up there to stay,
as far as '9S was concerned. A rush fol-
loved and the men were thrown about on
the grand stand for about 10 minutes.
The men bad stopped playing ball and
were trying TO appease the crowd. Finally
some OF the baseball men got into the
crowd and the freshmen were inauced 10
take II down OF their own free will.
After the excitement was quelled the
game proceeded and the sophomores in
creased their lead by ~ runs i'm the last
three innings, making the final score Il
toz
In the last inning Jimmie Dunno was
put In the box and he amused the crowd
Immensely by his actions.
The freshmen were entirely outplayed.
Neither Ives nor Tommy Dunno were
affective I'm the box, and their fielding
Mas very ragged at times.
