threw to Fox to catch Clark, but the
base man dropped the ball, Richard

place of Clarke, and Pitcher Washburr
went to right.

Holy Cross with a sky bruiser to Rich

is doing finely for the Baptists. Lime
hans grounder rolled into Detmers
waiting nit lie Stage made long drive
to left centre for a home run and the
first score of the game. Detmers speed
to first was faster than his ball to third
Paine's hit to Dyer forced Detmers at
second and Paine was doubled with
Newman on the latters slow grounder
to Griffin.
Holy Cross 0. Brown l.
Fifth inning-O'Reilly struck out and
Paine made a circus catch of DyeTs
high fly. Brennan was called out on
strikes. For Browh-RichaTdson pros
pective twO-bagger was nipped in the
bud by Kenneys gloves. Sherlock
couldn't see Grifin's twisters and went
badly but fouled to Brennan.

balky in this inning, and Holy Cross
scored three times. Sherlock made a
pretty stop and throw off Griffin's
grounder but Detmers muffed. Paine
threw wildly to first in an attempt to
catch the runner mapping and he rested
on second. kenney batted territically
to left and Newman made a good at
tempt but failed to hold the ball.

Bacon and Richardson gave Fox and
McTigue first and two more men
scored. The next three men went out
in order. Richardson, the first Brown
man up, walked to first, but was caught
trying to make third on Bacon's hit to
the pitcher. O'Reilly retired the side
with a brilliant catch off lie Stages
dangerous bat.
Holy Cross 4. Brown I.
Seventh inning-Holy Cross retired in
order, young Sherlock making two pref
ty assists.
Detmers raised the dust with his
single. Paine sent another which took
a bound off Griffin's shins and then got
away from Linnehan, while Detmers
took third. Newman's single scored
both men, but he was caught himself in
an attempt to steal second. If he had
remained at first the game would have
ball over the right field fence and
Brown would have scored the one much
needed run. Sherlock gave Griffin a
chance and it was accepted as usual
Sfdgwick famed the gentle zephyrs.
Holy Cross 4. Brown 4.
Eighth inning.-With the score a tie,
Kenney laced the ball to center; Rich
ardson fell down and the hit went for
two bases. He made third on Fox's
bounder to the pitcher, who tossed the
ball gently to his erratic first baseman.
Kenney came home on Newman's catch
of McTfgue's raiser. On Detmers' error
Carney reached first, but was squelched
in an attempt to reach the second bag.
Griffin couldn't gauge richardson's size
and the latter walked to McTigue's
corner. Bacon got in the way Of his own
nit and returned to the players bench
After lie Stage had made three futile
attempts to hit the ball, Detmers placed
a pretty hit by Fox and scored Richard
son. Linnehan made a pretty stop Of
Paine's scorcher.
Holy Cross 8. Brown 5.
Ninth inning.-Linnehan lined a
beauty to left for two bags, but Sedg-
wick and Bacon caught him off his
Suard at second. Reilly went out via
Paine and Detmers. Dyer duplicated
LInnehan's hit and scored on Beeman's
single. Inc latter was retired at
Paine's stand. Brown went in to do or
die Newman struck out. Washburn
singled and Sherlock reached first on
McTigue's error, which also advanced
Nashburn to third. Sedgewick was in
the same place as a year ago. A hit
would have won the game. He batted
10 Dyer who foOlishly held the ball and
all We're safe and Washburn scored the
tieing run. With a hit needed to win the
game for Brown, Griffin put a little ex-
ira speed in the ball and retired the
next TWO men on strikes It was great
tWirling and marked Griffin as a good
man.
The story Of the final inning has been
told, for Paine's double for Brown came
too late and the Brown team was easily
retired, and Holy Cross by scoring Il
runs gave Brown one Of the soundest
thrashings in its history.
Holy Cross has shown herself capable
of placing a nine on the field equal to
the best college teams and she has a
right to expect supports from the public.
The college management is sending out
circular requesting financial support
for the ball nine and a generous re-
Spouse should be the result
