ERRORS
Hinchman is Hit Hard, But Re
mains Steady and Keeps
Them Well Scattered.

The Coilegians were swamped by
the ALI Prof essionals at Brosd-Street
Park Wednesday, they were whipped
after the second inning when their
opponents scored three runs. After
this the amateurs lost heart and finisi.-
ed the game in listless fashion.
Hinchman continued to twirl we'll.
however. and although he was hit
hard. he kept the hits well scattered
and the professionals would not have
scored many runs If the twirler had
received any kind of support. Hineh-
man struck out five ana issued only
two free passes but eight costly errors
and other slips helped the pro-
fessionals along and they had an easy
time getting away with the game.

In the first inning. Bailey misJudged
Bigbie's drive i'm the first inning and
ne went to third but two were out

to second but the next two could not
advance him.

run scored and the only one not due
to errors was in the third innings
when Hicks scored after drawing a
pass. The score:
