LOSES TO SAINTS
CHAMPIONS win EASILY FROM
CLAREMOnTERS
Country Boys in Game From Call Of
Time, but Well Timed Stick
Work Of Vinoentans Re-
suits In Victory

The st. Vincent baseball team sent
the Pomona nine another rung down
the diamond ladder yesterday after
noon when the second game of the
series between the Saints and the
Claremonters was annexed by the
former with a score of 10 to 4. The
outcome marked the tenth consecutive
victory against the Pomonas during
the past five years.
The Pomona boys started well and
with a lead of two runs secured in the
third inning made 1t appear as though
there might be something stirring be-
fore the contest came to q close AS
soon, however, as the country lads
evinced disposition to enter the tally
column Capt. Tally and his men be-
came extremely busy with the stick,
and proceeded to run the game as they
pleased. Although the score of 10 to 4
was I'm accordance with the usual trend
Of Vincentian play, Haggerty's men
might have come away with even a
clearer-cut victory had a tendency to
take things easy not have manifested
itself. Confident that they would win,
the Saints at times became lax and
did not play with the snap character
istic of them when pitted against hard
er game.

of the score. were in the game from
start to finish, and in several innings
the Vincentians emerged from ominous
appearing predicaments. Mounier did
the twirling for Haggerty and was at
his best. When the husky football
player finds HIS arm IN throwing form
he is a dangerous boXman for any
team, and yesterday afternoon, with
good support had the Claremont nine
guessing throughout the major por-
ton of the game.
Pitcher Phillips was unable to enter
the game as a result of an arm in
jured while at practice and aggravated
by twirling the game against the Uni
versity last week.
Spurgeon was out on the slab for
Pomona. and though he allowed but
one hit more than Mounier and walked
but one man, the bingles made off his
delivery came with Saint base run
ners waiting to get home.
Art Shaeffer, the Vincentian third
baseman, disheartened the Claremont
contingent in the seventh inning by
driving a home run into the left field
bleachers, scoring Lamer and Snod-
grass ahead of him.
A head-on collision between Left
Fielder Tally and Center Fielder Cum
ningham of the st. Vincent team rem.
dered the latter unconscious on the
field in the first inning. Weinland of
the Pomonas hit to left. Benner, the
next man up. drove a high one to left
center and both Tally and Cunning
ham endeavored to corral it, with the
result that a violent collision occurred.
Cunningham dropped like a log. while
Tally grabbed the ball from the ground
and nailed Weinland at third. The fly
would have been an easy out for
either fielder.
Cunningham revived within a short
time and was able to continue the
game.
