STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, May
2.-Stanford met with most decisive de-
feat in the second intercollegiate baseball
game with Berkeley this afternoon. The
cardinal wearers were simply outplayed,
and Berkeley's nine established the fact
that Stanford will have to wake up or she
is bound to lose the championship this
year, for the first time in her history.
Captain McLaine pitched weak game for
Stanford, and was easily found by the
Berkeley batters, who hit him hard and
often. Heretofore McLaine has been con-
sidered invincible when in form, but if
such is actually the case he must have
been out of condition to-day.
On the other hand Morden pitched
strong game for Berkeley. He was effect
i've at critical stages of the game and
played good ball from the beginning to
the end. Some of the over-anxious STAN
ford 'rooters" carried their ''josning" to
an unnecessary degree in the hope of
rafting the Berkeley nine, but the visitors
stood it without murmuring. This at
tempt to rattle Berkeley players on the
part of some Stanford supporters was un-
sportsmanlike andis regretted by major
ity of the students. AT one period Of the
game it looked as though the jeering was
to result in stopping the play, but better
humor soon prevailed and the game pro-
ceeded.
Berkeley certainly has strong aggrega-
ton of players and the final game which
is to decide the championship should be
most interesting match. 1t is to be
played at San Jose on Stanford day-May
S-during the rose carnival.
A large crowd of students were on hand
to see the game-probably not less than
500. The chief features of the play we're
the excellent fielding of Berkeley and the
heavy hitting of Hoag and Krug. For
Stanford, Jeff's catching and Sharp's all.
round work were the noticeable incidents
of the contest.
Berkeley was first at bat, but failed to
get man as far as third, though three
men got as far as second. In her half
Stanford put one man across the plate.
Taylor got first on balls, stole second and
third on wild throws and came in on
Harris safety. Harris was caught out on
second and Young. suffered a like fate.
Berkeley succeeded in getting her first
man across the plate in the second. STAN
ford failed to make connections in her
half, and then the fireworks began. Berke-
ley enjoyed the same fortune that STAN
ford did last Saturday-she played team
which was "rattled' and threw wildly.
Three long safe hits were made in success
sion and Krug, on hit which would have
ordinarily meant but one bag, brought in
three men and came in himself before the
wild throwing of the Stanford PLAYERS
ceased.
Stanford and Berkeley then kept each
other down until the sixth inning. when
Berkeley's luck returned, netting her four
more runs and Stanford began to get dis
couraged. Good playing and streak of
long hits were responsible for the score in
this inning, though both Young and
Sharp for Stanford by their wild throws
augmented the total. Wheeler, Hennes-
sey and Krug were the Berkeley batters in
this inning, and the score stood to in
favor of the visitors.
Stanford stock rose little in the last
half OF the seventh. McLaine took his base
on balls, stole second, and came in on
Taylor's hit; while Taylor scored on Har-
ris' two-bagger. Young and Sharp both
flew out.
1t was just question now of how many
runs Berkeley would pile up. Three more
tallies were credited to her in the seventh
while Stanford could do nothing an
parently to turn the tide.
Berkeley scored again, and for the last
time in the eighth, and Stanford was un-
able to score at all in her remaining in
nings. The score ended 13 to 8 in favor of
Berkeley.
