Cornell evened matters with Pepco yes.
terday in section A, when Ii trounced
Post Officce, 10 to 1. in a game featured
by the batting strength of the winners
and Jackson's pitching. 1t was the fina
game cf the Sc ~edule. the Maimen fin
ishing last with but one victory. while
Cornell and Pepco complete their games
with four wins and two losses each.
Jackson. selected by Manager Cornell
to do the pitching. got away with his
end of the burden in great style. Until
the ninth he had allowed but three hits
but the Mailmen bunc ed brace in this
round, but made no-h'ng Of IL. One hit
double by Kraft. came with man on
third. making possible the only score.
An error by Hollander allowed the man
to get to first. or otherwise Jackson
might have shut his opponents out.
Norman Kraft on his first two trips to
the bat lifted the ball over the left field
fence for two bases. Roth times his
team could not advance him. though his
first hit kept Cornell from gaining a
Shut-out.
Vaughn and Adams executed a double
play in the opening session which was
a clever piece of work. Hurley was on
first at the time and Hollander hit a
slow roller toward third, which drew
Vaughn in. 1t was a hit and run play
and Hurley, after reaching second. kept
on to third. but Hollander went out at
first and Adams made perfect throw to
third. Vaughn returning to his base In
time to complete the play.
A great deal of responsibility for the
Big score can be attributed to Sam Ed
monston's ability to hit In a pinch. lie
came through with the kind of hits one
reads about. made in crucial moment
of the game and settling the outcome
without doubt. The first opportunity
offered Sam came in the third inning
with the bases full Sam worked Fergu-
son to three balls and two strikes and
met the next one fairly. and 1t hit the
right field fence on a line This ciout
cleared the bases and Sam himself later
round presented him the same chance,
but second and third only were filled.
Sans single scored both.
After pitching great game last Fri
day, in which he defeated Pepco 4 to =,
Walter Ferguson. ranking pitcher for
Post Office, essayed to repeat on Cornell
and thus upset all fixed calculations. He
missed his mark by much. as he was
batted all around in the third and fourth
innings. in which the Capital City team
got four runs and as many hits In each
frame His control was also deficient
Flannery. succeeding him did we'll and
did not allow a hit in the last three in
nin"s, but hit two batsnien and passed
another Aside from this he was con-
siderably steadier than his predecessor
and was not hit effectively.
Adams and Van Buskirk had a collision
on first base in the first inning which
necessitated the latter's removal from the
game Van Buskirk had hit safely to
ri9ht field. Fenton flelded II fast and
tried to throw his man out at first. Adams
received the throw facing Fenton and
the Cornell runner fell over on his head
and was laid out for: moment. Salb
replaced him.
The tie will be played off tomorrow.
