EarIham Triumphed Over An
tioch But Much Extra
Time Was Required.
FINAL SCORE WAS 7 TO 6.
CONTEST WAS FEATURED BY
MUCH WRANGLING. HEAVY HIT
TING AND MANY ERRORS
SCORE BY INNINGS.

In an eleven inning struggle on Reid
field Friday afternoon which was
marked by much wrangling, heavy
hitting, and many errors. the Earlham
base bali team walloped the Antioch
college aggregation by the score of
to 6. Notwithstanding the fact that
the arguments in many instances mar
red the game. it was an exceedingly
good one, and one of the best ever
played on the Earlham college
grounds. The teams were evenly
matched White who did the pitching
for Earlham, however, had shade
the better of Este, Antioch's speedy
manipulation of the sphere Este had
speed, and it might be said that this
very same speed was his downfall for
during the game five of the seven hits
secured off his delivery were two-bag-
gers Harrel, the chunky catcher for
Earlham succeeded in landing three
of the five two-baggers. He DATED
like a fiend from the very first. 1t
was an exceedingly hard matter for
the QuakerS to connect safely with
ESTES delivery. Not a single two
base hit was allowed by White of
Earlham, and he struck out ten men
but allowed nine hits. OF the nine
the majority of these were secured In
the fourth and sixth innings, at which
times, Antioch registered its six runs.
White seemed to weaken and the way
the Antioch men, landed on the ball
was a fright. However, after these
two fatal innings White frightened up
like a clam and the best Antioch
could do was to land few short dink-
lets in the infield which invariably
resulted in outs.
Quakers Started Well.
BY the manner in which Earlham
started the game in the first inning it
looked as though it was all over but
the shouting, as Harrel the first man
up for Earlham, lined out a nice two
Dagger. Elliott hit safe while Cham
bers andBarrett each secured two bag
gers, the hit of Barrett, scoring both
Elliott and Chambers. Este of Anti
och then settled down and the way
he placed the ball over the platter
was good to see. No scoring was
done in the next two innings, but in
the fourth Antioch registered three
runs. Ed1ludlu uIu HoL oCOl III aiC
fourth but in the fifth scored two
runs, largely through errors on the
part of Antioch players. Antioch bat
tiers went down in one, two, three or
der in the fifth. Both Earlham and
Antioch scored three runs in the sixth.
With the score standing six to six the
teams battled till Earlham had scored
her winning run in the last half of the
There was some dispute over
score made by Antioch in the fourth
and at the close of the ninth inning
it looked as though the game would
not be continued, Earlham maintain
ing that the score was 6 to while
Antioch claimed it was to 6.
Earlham gave the visitors the score
and the game proceeded to eleven in
nings.
