PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 10
In being defeated by Cornell of Washing
ton In the second game. Z to 1, st. Igna-
thus was outclassed in age, weight, expert
ence and speed. The Philadelphia boys
were up against a team Of older and far
better seasoned lot of players. But the
Phiily champs, with Elliott in the box,
made the insurgents hustle from start to
finish to win. and had 1t not been for an
excusable error by Quaker Burns in
right field, the visitors would have scored
only one run instead OF tallying five.
Burns error, after two men were out
and the sacks filled with impatient Sena-
tors, was made on Phipps' short single
to right. where the Quaker boy played
too short. letting the ball roll to the
fence. and the patter of Senatorial spikes
over the plate sent a chill through the
hosts Of the local rooters
Up to this time Elliott had held the
visitors safe, but the misplay caused him
TO lose heart for a moment, and before
he could settle down the game was lost.

wasted. as Hyerman fell down on three
good ones.
ST. Ignatius was first across the home
plate in the third. p. Howard dumped a
single over second. and a moment later
started TO steal. but was caught between
the bases. and it looked as II il were all
over, but Moran made a mighty heave

the ball was returned Howard was rest

Elliotts single along the first base line.
This ended the Quaker s. run getting. as
Kerr tighteped up. allowing but ,1o

fourth that Washington broke into the
run habit, and but for Hyerman's wild
heave no damage would have resulted.

on Marceron's little grounder, which he
tossed to the right field bleachers, letting
