CORNELL FAILS TO
REACH FIRST BASE

ANNAPOLIS. Md, April 10.-The
Naval Academy won at baseball
from Cornell this afternoon, by to
0, Seibert, the Navy captain, pitch
ing and making the remarkable per-
Torrance of not allowing an oppo-
nent hit, or permitting one of
them to reach first by any other
road. Wi
The score tells the story of Sci
bert's remarkable performance, prob
ably the most notable that has ever
taken place on the academy diamond.
He struck out thirteen, did not give
base or hit a runner, and confined
the few connections that were made
with the ball to infield taps with the
exception of one long fly which was
cared for by Fisher in centre field.
Seibert, himself, had four assists,
and Hicks, the catcher, had three
more on third strikes, which were
dropped. The only other assist by
Navy player, was grounder taken
care of by Shortstop Adams.

Newark, N. j.. April 10, 10

Newark, N. j., April 10, 1913.
Sporting Editor Evening Star:-In
regards to score in other nights Eve
ming Star, about Mr.. Carter's Colored
Giants beating the Bay View Wheel
men, is a mistake, as the teams didn't
play. The Bay Views were ready to
leave when it started to snow, so
they waited a few minutes for it to
stop, and they started the second
time, only to get as far as the ear
when 1t started again. So, thinking
we wouldn't be able to play, I told
them we wouldn't go up, and they
left and went home.
The trouble was I didn't know how
to get word to Mr.. Carter, or would
have let him know that We were not
coming up. He knew my telephone
number; why didn't he call me up,
instead Of putting it in the paper that
he beat us, when he didn't? IL Mr..
Carter figures on getting games that
way, he's greatly mistaken, because
he can gain nothing by such adver-
Using, as the Bay Views are too well
known. Yours in true sport.

team walloped the Orange High
School nine to at Orange, yester-
day afternoon. 1t was a fine exhibit
ton of the outdoor game that both
teams displayed, each going through
the nine rounds in errorless style.
The locals tailed all the runs in
the first three innings, Pitcher O'Nell
being the victim of the onslaught.
Pfeifer relieved the suburban youth
in the fourth and throughout the re-
mainder of the issue the Ridge
street lads failed to register a run or
hit. Andy Dempsey, Barringer back
stop, clouted the pill for a home run
and triple. Hagopians one-handed
catch of a line drive featured the
fielding end. Bel Evans, who will
leace soon for Appleton, Wis, with
which professional club he has beee
signed, played well for Orange.
