ON MUDDY FIELD
Heavy Hitting in Seventh
Nets Visitors Four
Runs.

Catholic University was defeated by
Rock Hill College on the formers
grounds in an eccentric game, by TO
3.
Rain, mud and high wind made the
game weird and uninteresting, but did
not keep away the fair fans, who out
numbered the males OF duty. The fact
that the players were frequently stuck
in the mud ran the errors up on each
side and the wind carried the ball in
all directions. Merva pitched we'll for
the local team, but had poor support
and at times was overgenerous in al
lowing hits. Mcclure for the opponents
allowed eleven hits, but invariably
pulled himself out of hole
The latter part of the seventh inning
was marked by heavy hitting on the
part % the visiting team, which re-
suited in the chalking up Of four runs
70 its credit. Next inning the Brook
landers retaliated with a three-base hit
by Merva and several singles. bur were
only able 10 get three men across the
plate in consequence of reckless base
running. The score:

morning in an exciting game, the re-
suit of which was in doubt till the last
caaer went out in the last half of the
ninth The score was TO 0.
Daring base running b. Captain
Cooper, of Gallsudet, was responsible for
the only tally OF the game. Both pitch
ers we're in Iine fettIe, but Caulk had
a shade on Dillon. Gallaudet got but
three scattered hits oft the St. Johns

the Mutes to die on easy foul flies and
little pop-ups TO the inheld with pro-
voking frequency
He only gave one base on balls, but
that helped to lose the game.

Against the cadets he reversed his

only fast and heady fielding kept St.

sessions they went out in order.

The cadets outbatted the visitors and
had six men left on bases TO Gallaudet's
three.
They filled the bases IN the first and
second innings. but were unable to
score, a cadet being nabbed at the plate
in each inning. Morris fell fat while
chasing a fly, but got up and captured
it. This and one-hand stop OF a
