the Lafayette team was present
and it was a different affair from
Sunday.
From the time the first ball
was pitched until the game
closed interest was at a high
pitch. The teams were about
evenly matched and both were
strictly on" to their business.
Franklin went to the bat first
and made a tally. Lafayette
followed with 0, but in the sec-
Ond inning captured three and
shut out Franklin. Nothing was
made until the sixth inning when
Franklin scored one, taking four
in the seventh and picking up
one in each of the succeeding
innings. Lafayette simply
sawed wood" till the ninth
when they took a jump and
pOcketed four tallies, and were
IN good shape to add another
tally, when an unfortunate acci-
dent occurred which stopped the
game. Randolph Davis, short
stop, and George Gooch, left
fielder, for Franklin, both ran to
catch a fly batted by Pellerin

other was after the ball, they
ran into each other, striking
their faces. Gooch was not hurt
very much, but Davis was very

The ball game Sunday between

rather disappointing. The visi-

the start and carried their way
right along until the eighth in

score for Lafayette by home
run. The ehOme boys were pretty
blue, but Peck's run put life into
them and they put three more
tallies to their credit. The game
closed with 10 to 4 in favor of
