That Was the Score in YeSter-
days Game.
WON BY HEAVY HITTING
Quakers Had Best of Bargain
Throughout Game,
WON BY HEAVY HITTING

In an hour and ten minutes Of good
ball playing the Friends University base
bail team defeated the team from Cooper
! college yesterday afternoon. by a score
! Of 10 TO 4. The game was called at
/ O'Clock, and this probably accounts fol
! the small crowd, as a number OF people
/ could not attend the game at that hour
I But the Cooper team had to make 3
! train a O'Clock, and those who did turn
out had the pleasure Of seeing a fine ar
! ticle OF baseball.
( It was the Friends game from the
; start, and at no time did the result seem
| dubious to any one OF their supporters
( COrnelison pitched a phenomenal game
but did not field his position as well as
he has the balance OF the season, making
his first error of the year yesterday.
Carter, the Cooper pitcher. has done the
twirling for the team on their trip and
this was the fourth game in as many
days. The Friends are the heaviest bat
ters In this part Of the state and they
/ landed on Carter's twisters for total
of nine hits and only five met had 10
lay down the willow because they could
net untangle carters tWisters IN time TO
connect with the ball.
The Quakers started the fireworks in
the first inning by landing on the horse
hide for total of five hits and one of
those a two-bagger, and this, coupled
with good base running and two errors,
Melted them six runs. In this inning
every man went to the bat, and "fhomp-
son came up the second time with a two
Dagger and Cornelison a single.
In the Cooperite's half Of the first in
ming the first man was hit by pitched
ball, the other two famed and tee third
died on foul fly.
II was one, two. three fc& both teams
in the next inning; and in the third the
Cooper team scored their first run. But
this was not earned. Ramsey made q
clean single to center field and stole see
ond, and reached third on Guthrie's sac
rifice. Allen came to the bat and afSr
missing the ball three times got TO first
before the catcher could locate the ball.
and then Cornelison made a wild throw
trying to catch him at second and Ram
sey scored.
In the fourth inning the Friends worked
two more men around the diamond on
three hits and an error by the right field
CT. The Cooper team was thanked in
their half,
In the first half of the fifth Hoyt went
up into the air and made two very rank
errors. Both Of these were inexcusable.
G., Guthrie knocked an east grounder
well into the second base territory and
Hoyt got his hands all around the ball
but never touched it, For an artistic
fumbling of a slow grounder Hoyt takes
the cake. The next bah went almost ia
the same territory and Hoyt monkeyed
with the ball again and then let the right
fielder pick up the hoTsehide and throw il
to the shortstop in time to catch the
base runner going TO second. Hoyt's err
rors only let in one run. but it broke up
the team for a few moments and in the
next innings the Cooperites pounded out
two runs. In the sixth and seventh in
nings the Friends added Two more runs
while the visitors were dished up goose
eggs.
With the exception of Hoyts two mis-
plays the errors made by both teams
were not costly and did not result in let
ting man score but only advanced them
a base or two.
Cornelison had all the best of the bar
gain in the box. he allowed but four
safe hits and these were of the scratch
order. and struck out sixteen men, while
Carter allowed nine safe hits, one a two
Dagger.
IN the first half OF the seventh inning
Brown got a life on an error and was
caught trying to steal second. He was
being crowded pretty close, when the ball
passed over his head and he suddenly
got cute and jumped Up and struck it out
into the field. The umpire called him
out and his captain called him down good
and hard.
