The orchestra of 5 pieces was all that could be desired and the gathering large one, the gal lery being filled with many spectators.

Bio EarIham Star Pitched a
Great Game, But Was
Defeated.
QUAKERS COULDN'T HIT

One OF the most remarkable games
of baseball, either professional or
amateur that has been pitched in this
state this season was that twirled by
Herbert White, of Earlham college, at
Greencastle, Saturday. The Quaker
nine was playing DePauw and but q
single hit was registered off White. It
followed a couple of poor plays and
resulted in the only run of the game
being scored. White allowed but one
base on balls and struck out several
opposing batsmen. The Earlhamites
lost the game with two men out. Will
son made a bobble and it was follow.
ed by an overthrow that put a runner
on second. The next batter po1ed out
"A long fly that went for two bases
and scored the run. Had it not been
for the error, White would have gone
through nine innings without a hit
being made off him. The Quakers
could not score, although getting men
as far as third in several innings.
