Lewiston. Me, Sept. 11.-(SpeciaD.-
annual Freshmen-Sophomore game at
Bates College was pulled off amid a great
deal of excitement here this afternoon
and the Freshmen. by winning, showed
themselves to be one of the fastest base
ball aggregations ever registered at Bates.
The final score was to 5. but the end
always was in doubt both teams had the
fighting spirit and the lead fluctuated.
The Freshmen were the favorites but the
, Sophs were game and although handi-
capped by the loss of many of their team
from last year, they kept the Freshies
scratching for nine long innings.
| The pitchers for both teams did great
work. Remmert lost by poor backing
rather than by any weakness that he may
have shown in the box. Bosworth looks,
acts and delivers the goods like a pitch
perienced catcher to hold him. Griffin,
, who captained the Freshman team, was
power behind the bat. He looks like
good Varsity material In the last few
innings of the game the Sophomores took
their band down beside third base line
and by keeping up an incessant noise they
tried to rattle the Freshman pitcher. The
Freshies did go up into the air BIT but
saan landed and waited for Bosworth to
retire two batters in succession. The
Juniors and Freshmen then took their
band down to the first base line and their
din did succeed in rafting Remmert a
runs as result of 1t.
