BEATS COLUMBIA

With the Game.
GREEN DOES GREAT
WORK IN THE BOX
c. u. CIinched Game in First
Inning, When 1t Chased Four
Men Across the Plate.

Playing on a Geld on which :. was
practically impossible for the men on
either team to get footing. the Catholic
University continued its climb inward In
the collegiate base ball world yesterday.
by administering a defeat to the Columbia
University nine by the score of TO =.
Although once Columbia had men on
second and third. with one down. there
was never any danger at any other time
that it would win, as the four runs Sc
cured through good hitting and UNI
timely misplays on the part of the New
Workers in the first inning was enough
to win the game.
To Green should go the majority or
the credit for the victory. as he pitched
superb bail from the start, and in the
pinches was even more effective than
when nobody was on. The two runs
scored against him were the direct re-
suit OF errors. and he should have had
q shutout. Working hard only when he
had to, he had the opposing batters at
his mercy throughout.
The game was a peculiar one, in that
while the ground was in a sloppy condi-
ton every man who went into the box
had excellent control, each of the twirl-
ers seeming able to get the ball over al
bases were given during the entire
period OF the play. which was an excel
lent record when the conditions are con-
sidered.
Conditions Poor for Fielding.
Had it not been for the good work OF
Green In the box It is doubtful If the
Brooklands would have gotten away
with the game. There were five errors
registered against the team. and the ma
3ority were made at times when they
counted. The Red and Black did not
show up in the field as well as usual. al
though in justice to the team it might
be said that the grounds were not In
any too good condition for fielding the
ball well. 1t seemed. though, that the
New York team was not troubled to
any extent by the poor condition OF the
grounds, as several hair-raising stops
and pick-ups were made which opened
the eyes Of the spectators. Once or
twice needed hits were cut or in this
manner, when It was questionable
whether the fielder even knew whether
he had the ball or not
Tho Columbia team put up q good
exhibition in the field. excelling its op-
ponent In every respect In this depart
ment, the work Of Kiendl on first and
Sanders at short being especially merf-
torious. Hessler's play around the nrst
bag did not suffer in comparison with
that Of the visiting first sacker. It be-
ing. with the exception Of a one-handed

At bat tho Columbia team also did
the better work. It securing eight hits
to the locals six. There was one re
deemfns feature. though. about the
hitting OF the Brooklanders. the bingleS
came when they were needed to get
runs. HeSsler starred again in this
particular. getting two hits out of
three times up. one OF them being for
run. had the man who was on first
tried for home. instead of remaining
on third. Mcdonnell got three hits for
the Brooklanders, and Jones three for
extremely scratchy variety. and none
of them were hard drives, as were those
hit by Hessler. Marsden was the only
other man on tho Catholic University who
was able to connect safely with tho

circus catch OF high-hit ball in left

and when he was almost under It HIS

and he was pitched head first, but as
he went down he stuck out his hand
and the ball happened to hit there, ana

No scoring was done by either side

Sanders went to the bench by way of a
grounder that was thrown from third

ones, and Kendl few out to left: When
the Brooklanders came to bat In their
half of the first chapter there was q
different tale. Marsden, the first nnan

men were on. Mcdonnell then came
