AMHERST LOSES
TO CATHOLIC U.
Chief" Greene Scores 5 to 0 Shut.
out Over New Englanders,
Pitching Air.tight Ball.

Catholic University came back after
their defeat by Vermont last Saturday
and handed Amherst a 5 to beating yes
tersdy. With Chief Greene in the
best OF form doing the heaving. and
the team behind him playing erroriess
bail. and welding the willow in their
old-time style, Amherst never had a
chance. The BrookIanders' captain was
mighty stingy with the Massachusetts
Collegians. allowing them but three
scattered hits and giving free transpor-
tation TO one only. Second base was
the nearest the visitors came to scor-
ing. and only two men got that far.
The Red and Black team showed a COM
plete reversal of form in yesterdays
game. and played brilliantly in the field.
giving Greene the very best OF support.
Hayes at short put up fine game, tax
ing everything that came his way. Til
den, who was toeing the slab for the
Massachusetts, team, looked good to the
heavy hitting Red and Black aggrega-
tion. and they succeeded in connecting
with his delivery for ten clean hits.
enough TO win most any game. Besides
he did not get the best of support, his
team mates being charged with four er-
suited In as many runs. The other three
runs. however. came as result of good
old stick work. The hits made by the
Red and Black team generally came in
punches. Hessler and Greene were the
only ones who were able to connect
with Tilden for more than one bingle.
and none, of the hits was good for
more than one base.
In the first inning Tilden started of
in a way that looked bad for him. He
passed the first man, and the next man
connected for a single. He frightened up
then, however. and the next three men
up were easy outs For the first three in
nings neither side scored. In the fourth,
after Mcdonnell took three healthy
swings at the ball. Pipp started things
going with a single. /Horan, who fol- /,
Geady a moment later lined one over Sec |
ond base. sending Clancy. who was run |
ming for Pipp, 10 third. Clancy then |
scored when Vernon dropped Chief"
Greene's fly. That ended the scoring for |
that inning. Lynch being an easy out. |
Tilden TO Burt. |
Next inning the Brooklanders got start |
ed again, when Hayes was safe at first |
on Partenheimers error. He went to sec |
ond on Hesslers bingle and Widmayer |
advanced them both with a neat sacri- |
fee, and then Mcdonnell came across |
with the needed hit. sending two runs |
across the rubber. Mac went to second |
on the throw in. and TO third while Fitz /
was throwing Pipp out at first. But that |
was as far as he got. for. although Ho-
ran drew q base on balls and stole sec
ond. McGesdy ended the inning with an
easy roller to Fitz. There was no more |
scoring then until the eighth.
Horan opened the eighth with a single /
TO left. McGeady then flied out to Swa-
zey. and Chief Greene followed him with
4 single. advancing Horan. Lynch con-
nected with one of Tilden's shoots, and
Koran scored. Hayes went out with a
long fly to left. Then Williamson let 1
Hessler's grounder get away from him
and Greene counted. Johnnie widmayer
snded the scoring with weak roller to
rilden. Score:
