ola Tbey had to play ten innings to
g. if ana those last two were just
o6out as meteoric as anything that
erer b9ppened here before in school
bssabaU The score up to the eighth
irring was Is to 3 in favor Of the Bush
ness college. and the supporters of the
rsd and black had just about cOnclud-
al that II was ali off with their one
time heroes. The rOOters were silent
and the pretty High school girls, who
lined the bleachers. sat with cherries
faces as they waited disconsolately for
the end.
II was not quite the end that they
we're looking for, however. The High
school boys went TO the bat and COM
menced to play the kind Of ball that
erstwhile made their school famous. In
the eighth inning they brought in nine
runs making the score 16 to II. Two
b9gger 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. P3pwOrth was safe
on home and the High school TOOters
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-
aentatives 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 ali their noise
producing prOCliyities, 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
ball 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 it didn't. The Business college
players know the game too we'll ard
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 gchoolites and then went in
themselves and scored two runs.
Inc 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
We're going t. snow the High school
boys under. they were shut out for
lhree innings. In the sixth inning they
Made three runs and then were shut

again in the tenth inning.
The High school score reads exactly
opposite. In the first inning they made
OHe run. In the next two they were
shu' out and in the fourth they made
wv more. Three Shut-Outs followed.
