GALLAUDET WINS
FROM ST. JOHNS
MuteS Show Class in Taking
Local Rivals Into Camp by
Seven to Six.

IN a practice game at Kendall Green
yesterday afternoon, Gallaudet College
defeated St. Johns College, of Washing
ton. by to 8.
The cleverest playing was done in the
first few innings. both sides being
blanked until the fourth. Here Bell
juggled Shanns grounder, giving the
latter life at first. Sham later came
home from third on Smiths single for
st. Joint first tally.
ST. Johns scored three more IN the
six5h when Dillon, who is not ye, in
got two more off O'Donneu in the ninth.
hessIer, who officiated In the box for
St. Johns for eight innings, held the
mutes down to seven hits.
After getting one in the seventh.
GallaUdet sent FIVE runs across the plate
in the eighth, on hits by O'DOnnen
Sharp. and Craven, and some loose
fielding by Sham and Loughlin.
With the score q tie when they came
to bat in the ninth, GaIlaudet got over
the winning run on a mUn Of Cooper s
long fly by Laughlin and Davis clean
hit. HcssIer Widmeyer. and Murphy
showed up the best for St Johns Hol-
lIday and ODonneH starred for the
mutes
Davis is pushing ByTne for the place
ia right garden, and Craven and O'DOn-
nell are stM fighting it out for first
Captain Cooper will undoubtedly play
fin his old position at short. Hover IS
safe at third and better man than his
predecessor Of last year.
Although Bells weight makes him
rather sIc.s. because OF steady fielding
and his giving promise Of making a
strong hitter, he seems 10 have the call
at second. Sharp played a fine game in
center field, and seems 10 have q better
batting eye than last year.
