HARVARD POUNDS
CHIEF GREENE AND
G. U. LOSES--16 TO 2
Crimson Gets Sixteen Hits
Off BrOokland's Hurler
in Four Rounds.
MCDONNELL STARsAGAIN

Harvards crack ball club had nc
trouble beating Catholic University yes
terday in a listless game, Is to 2.
Chief Greene. the Red and Black star
hurIer, was slammed TO all corners of
the lot by the Crimson sluggers, sixteen
safe swats being garnered on the chief
during the four inning he was on the
mound. The Brooklanders had an on
day--the feldcrs could not field. the hit
tiers could not hit. and the pitchers could
not pitch. Taken all in all, Catholic
University simply refused to play real
college ball, and the result of the battle
was never in doubt.
Bartolf, on the mound for the Cam
bridge Collegians. had little more than
a prayer and a glove, but he had the
Brooklanders up tree from the start,
and although they managed to slam him
for seven safeties, he kept them well
scattered. and they did no damage to
speak OF.
Catholic University was held scoreless
until the final frame. when couple OF
cracks allowed a pair of runners TO
count. but the Cambridge boys were SO
far in the lead the Brooklanders did not
have q chance in the world to overtake
them.
Three fast double plays by the Har-
ward infield saved the day for the North
erners, as two rallies were nipped IN
shortstop, Desila. who put up corklng
good game for the Crimson. Again. in
the fourth. Potter. playing second.
snagRed a drive OF the bat Of widmayer.
and tossing the ball to Desila beat
Hessler TO the plate. This play was the
only feature of a slow and uninteresting
contest.
c. U. Goes to Pieces.
The Brooklanders simply went to pieces
being unable TO put up their usual fast
game. As the Red and Black club has
been going like q house ahre the past
two weeks. a slump was in order, and
It was right on the job when least
wanted. Everything broke for the Grim
sin in yesterdays battle, the ball taking
bad bounces and in every way helping
them on to victory. The Brooklanders
never had a look in. and that they scored
at all is due to their fighting spirit.
Charlie Mcdonnell, the Red and Blacks
star receiver, put up a great game
against overwhelming odds, time and
again throwing out the would-be steal
ers. Only two Harvard men swiped
sacks on him, and they were gifts. pure
and simple.
In the seventh round Mcdonnell lost his
head for a minute. and the last two
Crimson tallies OF the contest were reg
istered. Pipp. on first. also put up a
good game, taking care Of thirteen
chances in great shape.
The batting honors OF the day go to
Babson, who held down left field for
the visitors. The left-hander clouted out
four hits out OF four times up, all sin
giles and all coming when they did some
damage.
Reeves Gets Homer.
Reeves, the Crimson receiver. managed
to send one of Chief Greene's shoots
over the trees for a circuit trot, while
Young, who relieved him in the sixth
round, slammed Ryan for a triple. The
only other extra base hit OF the game
was made by Charlie O'DonneI in the
final round. Mac clouting the ball to left
for a two-sacker.
Harvard opened up in the first inning
by sending four tallies over the pan on
as many hits, a base on balls. and an
error. From then on the Crimson sim
ply clouted the ball to all corners of the
lot, Charley Moran sending the derrick
after the chief in the fourth round after
the Harvard lads had scored thirteen
runs and made sixteen bingles.
