tice game at the Florida Avenue Park

easily Z to 8. The New York State col
legians were better pleased with the
result than any game they have played
thus far on their Eastern trip.

player, CorneI's head coach, was particu-
larry anxious for this game. as he be-
lieved his charges would learn more base
ball than in any other way. The col
Iegians made a fine impression. They
worked hard from start to finish, and
while a few costly slipups cropped out
the crowd was satisfied that they had
been given a run for their money.
