WENT
DOWN TO DEFEAT
University Y. M. 9. A. Ball
Team Proved too Much
For Learned Men

For a rainy day the baseball fans
got more real fun out of two-bits at
the U. N. D.-Y. NJ. C. A. faculty game
than they would at reduced price
Coney Island with all of the shows at
one cent. The minstrel shows were
outclassed, Lew Dockstader not hav-
ing anything on some of the "Profs. {"
Every member of the faculty team
mad different ideas on how to play
the game. Prof. Ladd thought it was
a kind of game of tag and every
time a runner led away from sack
he tried to beat him back to the can
vas, running him down. Others
thought it resembled cricket but all
agreed that it was something like
checkers because every little move
ment had etc."
The bright and shining light of the
game was President Frank l.. Nc
Vey. "Prexy" played the initial sack
IN the first two innings but Squires
who pitched for those periods, went
lame and McVey was forced to mount
the slab. At first base "Prexy" shone
like a gold dust twin but it was when
he started to slide them over that he
attained the highest candlepower of
luminosity. He had bunch of steam
and Catcher Ladd had difficulty in
holding some of the kangaroo drops
the head Of the state institution put
over.
The first inning looked as though
the Y. M. G. A. outfit was going to
lose their angoras. Nesdahl got to bat
hn of,
arate and distinct times. Although
q few errors were made the "Y" bunch
only managed to get in one run and
Twtrler Squires had two strikeouts
registered on the score book. "Prexy"
smashed the first ball pitched to him
for base, stole second, stole third
and stole home. Prof. Squires struck
out and CHUCK" Chandler jabbed the
ball over shortstop's head for a neat
single. He got two stolen bases and
added a score on an overthrow.
The second inning Squires Wilbur
wrighted for fair and let the "Y'
bunch get him for four hits, and these
with errors made, let in five scores.
The highbrows in their half of the
inning managed to get two hits, a
couple of easy outs and a popfly.
"Prexy" went in the pitchers box
in the first of the third and in spite
Of ragged support managed to hold
the "Y" down to one hit, making two
of the batters poke at where the ball
wasn't. Errors gave the Y. NJ. G. A.
two more tallies. The faculty ran
into a bunch Of hard luck in their
half of the inning and went out in
a quiet deliberate sort of fashion.
The first of the fourth the Y. NJ. @.
A. landed on "Prexy" for three hits
which, with errors, gave them three
more runs. 1t was in the last half
Of this frame that the faculty held a
slugfest, a merry-go-round and an
exhibition worthy of team compos-
ed mostly of comedians, la Altrock.
Prof. Schmidt ambled to the plate,
picked out q select piece of wagon
tongue and proceeded the ball just
where the shortstop had trouble find
ing it. He got to first and went to
second when Southe opened the pass
gate to allow Stearns free transpor-
tation. Lindsay swatted to first base
man who dropped 1t, and Schmidt in
the excitement, made q new state
record for the 30-yard sprint, doing
what Dean Bruce called, really dis
tinguished work." Prof. Stearns also
complimented him and assured Prof.
Schmidt that he had never seen him
play 80 well before" 'Prexy" bingled
for single and stole all the way
around the circuit, stealing home for
another score. With Squires hit by
a pitched ball, Chandler walked, prob
ably because Southe was afraid of his
batting record, Crouch came to bat
and deposited the pellet in deep CEN
ter field, scoring two and reaching
second base. Gillette got to first on
an error, Ladd singled, Crouch got
home and Gillette went out trying
McVey's stunt of stealing home. The
side was retired with the eleventh
man at the plate. Total scores made,
seven. There was some kick on the
side Of the faculty on the number of
men out, but this was amicably set
tied when Umpire Dunlap called for
Ia popular vote.
The "Y" nine managed to get one
more run in the first of the fifth, maxi
ing their total twelve. The faculty
came to bat in the last Of the fifth
and made a great attempt to tie the
