bssebaII The score up to the eighth

rsd and black had just about conclud-
al that fl was all off with their one

II was not quite the end that they
nero looking for, however. The High
school boys went to the bat and COM
Toonced 10 play the kind Of ball that
prstWhile made their school famous. In
the eighth inning they brought in nine
runs. making the score 10 to II. Two
barger followed two Dagger, and the
climax was reached when PapwOrth hit
the sphere square on the trade mark.
When the left fielder finally discovered
the ball away out there on the other
side of the fence, PapwOTth was safe
ON home and the High school rOoters
were going into spasms of joy and
turning jubilant handSprings.
When the Business college came to
the bat at the beginning of the ninth,
the callow youths who had come to
make noise for the High school surely
performed their duty, and the repre-
pentatives Of the school out on the dia-
mond did their share by retiring three
men without a run. Then they took
their turn at the stick and tied the
score with four runs The side was re-
tired with two men on bases.
Enthusiasm Rampant.
Those who had cajoled themselves
into believing that the High school
roOters had exhausted all their noise
producing prOclivities, soon found out
how vain had been their delusion. The
atmosphere was literally and figura-
lively splintered with such parOxysms
as are common occurrences at a foot
BAH match, but which attendants at a
baseball game usually escape. The
smiles came back to the faces of the
High school maidens, and the hope that
lighted their eyes surely ought to have
won the game for their side.
But il didn't. The Business college
players know the game too well and
have played together too much to let
anything Of the kind happen. Realiz-
ing the seriousness of the situation.
they promptly and effectively shut out
the High schoOlites and then went in
themselves and scored two runs.
The game was remarkable for several
things, and the score by innings tells
whole volume. The Business college
made thirteen runs in the first two in
mngs and when il looked as if they
were going to snow the High school
Doys under. they were shut out for
three innings. In the sixth inning they
made three runs and then were shut
out for three more innings, scoring
again in the tenth inning.
The High school score reads exactly
opposite. In the first inning they made
one run. In the next two they were
smut out, and in the fourth they made
Two more. Three shut-outs followed.
ana then they made the runs that
brought the score a tie at the end of
ShG ninth. The score is a big. ugly
ooAlnS thing, but it does not tell the
whole story. At times it was rather
.asSeu baseball, but at other times, it
"aS pretty enough for anybody.
