LOSES HIS NO-H|T GAME
Lee Pitches Brilliantly, but
Syracuse Beats Columbia.
BATTLE OF THE TWIRLERS
Cottrell Holds Blue and White to
a Brace of Safeties-Errors
Decide Game.

Syracuse failed TO make a hit off Muir
| ray Lee, Columbia's veteran twirler, in the
| annual game on South Field yesterday sf-
ternoon. but despite that fact the Orange
defeated the Blue and White by the score
of 10 0. Errors at the most critical
| stage of the contest enabled Syracuse to
score the winning run in the seventh inn
ing after the upstaters had retired in
order In every preceding inning. Sanders's
error of a hard drive paved tho way for
the Syracuse tally. which was made certain
when Maloy. the Columbia catcher, dropped
one of Lees strikes. Cottrell. who. year
ago yesterday. defeated Columbia without
allowing single hit. was In remarkable
form for the syracusans, and let Columbia
have only two hits, neither Of which was
productive Of runs Lee struck out ten
men TO fourteen by Cottrell. Tho Columbia
pitcher retired the side on strikes in the
third inning. and Cottrell duplicated the
feat In the fifth.
There was little 10 choose between the
teams, for although frequent showers had
made the field soggy, both mines put UP
first class brand OF baseball. But nine
tenths of the battle was waged by the
pitchers. Inning after inning went by with
out a man passing first base. and not until
each team had come TO bat six times was
there anything like a run In the air. the
pitchers had everything on the ball, and IN
the full nine sessions the ball went past
the inneld only six times. Each tTirler
let two men get TO first on passes, and Cot
treIl hit one Of the Columbia batsmen.
Columbia was the first TO make g. bold
effort TO break the ice, for although Leo
had smashed out a clean single III the
third inning, he died stealing, and II was
not until the sixth that the Blue and White
got q man on again. Fairbairn. the trst
man IN went to first when he got In the
uav Of one OF Cottrelrs curves. but was
forced at second on Roots attempted sacr1-
ace Root. however, lost little time ut the
FIRST station. and stole second, only tn ian
guish there, as Lee and Hastings s"uoN
out.
In the next inning, after syracuse 'an
scored. the home teams effort was a Hue
more sustained. Sanders opened WIN
single TO right field. and reacned se,'Ha
when King. the brother OF johnny MINIS
Cbicago's great backstop, fumbled os'e'
