DESHON CLEVER PITCHER.
Diniinutiye Cornell Pitcher Is There
with the Goods.

Nick Deshon, the diminutive Cor
nell pitcher. who created havoc with the
heavy batsmen of the opposing college
teams this year with his mastery pitch
ing. ranks as one of the leading college
pitchers of the year
DeshOn has had much experience and
has been twirling for the Ithacans for
the past three years, last spring alter
mating with Capt. Umstad in the box.
Deshon is about feet 6 inches tall. and
possesses a wonderful pair of shoulders.
He is a right-hander, and gets a fun
swing across the body, bringing the lat
ter into play with every ball he pitches.
He is undoubtedly one of the best field
ing pitchers that ever graced a col
lege diamond
Not only has Deshon been a puzzle to
opposing batsmen, but he caused oppos-
ing pitchers much worry by his hitting.
His batting has figured in a number of
victorious scores this spring, home run
In the final inning Of a close game with
one Of the big colleges being his most
notable feat. He is a Nicaraguan by
birth. and ever since his entrance in col

Interior put up a poor exhibition against

not seem to be much strengthened.
Peden, Navy's new shortstop. seems to
be a good one. He fields his position in
good form, and can hit the ball on the
nose
Hester's work on the bases Friday was
a feature. He stole third in the seventh
while Murray was standing in the box
with the ball
Only one more week Of scheduled games

port went back on him.
Treasury has a safe hold on first place.
rs they have but two more regular games

race between Commerce and Labor and
POst-ofiCe for the second honors.
Clements, Coleman, and Harris have de-
serted the Navy team. However Mana
ger Clark has rounded up a bunch of ma
rines, and the infield is stronger than be-
fore.
Socks" Carr Is certainly a valuable
man. He Is leading in stolen bases and
