The crack baseball team from Fair

the cap of the Friends university team
yesterday and led the heavy hitters from
! the West side into camp to the tune OF
to 1. 1t was victory gloriously earned
! by Fairmount. and their second victory OF
the series Neither OF the crack pitchers
of the teams were in the box, and this
made it all the more interesting. as il
gave the FEEDERS a chance 10 show what
they could do. Together the pitchers
famed eleven men, but the men of both
teams popped the ball out into the dia-
mond and field and kept the men on the
jump most of the time.
The Fairmo1nt team played ball as
they can be wen proud Of. The walked
up TO the plate and smashed the ball
with hard knocks. while the Friends
could only tap the horsehide a little tap
and then the Fairmounters handled it in
very fast style and tossed il from one
base to another in time to eaten the run
ners- Both teams showed the fans how
the national game was played but the
Quakers lost their reputation for being
heavy hitters, for they should have
smashed out enough balls of Davis
twisters TO have easily won the game, but
the big pitcher let them down with four
moasley hits while the little fellows
from the college on the hill touched q
Friends twirier up for eight safe ones.

punched their hits in two innings that
won the game. and it was their good luck
10 keep the Quakers from getting good
ones when there were men on bases.

heldeTs. The pitchers bad little 10 do
more than toss the ball down and let
