The Buchtel base ball team fully
redeemed Itself for the defeats by
Hiram and Mt. Unlon 10y defeating
the strong Wooster team at Buchtei
field Saturday afternoon in an eX-
ceptlonally pretty contest.
The home team won strictly on their
merits Their batting WAS the fca-
ture of the game. A large and very
enthusiastic crowd was out and II
was repaid by seeing rattling good
ball game. Very few misplays mar
red the play and good clean, ringing,
base hits Just when they We're needed,
set the crowd going several times.
Price appeared in the box for BuChtel
and Il was rumOrcd that his arm was
not In condition. He was II triic un-
steady during the opening innings,
forcing in two runs in the second with
free passes to first, but after that he
settled down and the Wooster boys
could not touch him for "A safe one
They made Just four hits after the
third inning and Two OF them, dou-
Bile and triple came in succession in
the nth, and gave Wooster their last
run. Price also lelded his position
well and drove one over Douglass
head IN the eighth, making three
bases. Washer led the team with
three hits Il single, double and triple,
Buchtel played n great uphill game
and deserved To win. Buchtel started
the fourth with a score of to q
against them but after Price had
few out to third, Cushman was hit
on the glove which was hanging to
his belt, and took second ON Reids
single. POlsky hit IA hot one TO short
and Cushman ran into II and was out
Things were looking blue when Moore
got one where he wanted IL and hit
for two bases, bringing Reid home
with the first run. In their next
turn at the bat they got onto Mr..
Neidy's slow, but deceptive delivery
and the Wooster boys went to pieces
for the only time In the game \
single by Brown and IA double 10y
Reid coupled with errors by ShupG,
Whitcraft and Bloser gave them four
runs and tied the score. They played
harder then ever after that and earn
ed a run In the seventh on 'singles
by Washer and Polsky, and Cushman's
double. Their last runs came In the
eighth when, after Williamson had
singled, Orin famed and Brown ncw
TO Bloscr. Then Washer landed a
beauty in deep left for three bases,
and moment later Price hit one 10
center for three sacks. Hats were
In the air aud the cheering could be
heard for blocks at this stage Price
WAS left at third by Cushman's strik-
ing out. They had plenty, though.
and as Price was yielding no hits,
they were in no danger The visitors
put up fine game in the neld, bar
ring the two mutfs and "A Wild throw
in the fifth. Their battery work was
good, and Neidy, while bit rather
freely, had fine control and did not
give q base on balls and hit but one
man. Both catchers played good
game and had plenty 20 do. Polsky's
catches of fouls In the fourth and
seventh were features, az was Cush
mans fine running catch off Wells
bat In the fifth. Reid had a busy day
at third. He appeared nervous Al
first and muffed a couple OF easy
fouls In the second, but redeemed him
self by a couple of good stops ant
