Here is what that infieId did yes
terday, individually and collectively,
against Centenary College, which
was beaten by the Feds, 9 to O.:
Zeider had a clean sheet. Tinker
soaked a single, double and triple and
handled four fielding chances. Kad-
ing nailed two singles and accounted
for seven chances. Farrell collected a
pair of one-spots, cleaned up six
chances and stole base.
At least one member of the quar-
tet figured in each of the three double
plays that the Feds pulled off. Not an
error was made. Taken all the way
round, it was fine afternoons work.
Fred Beck, who came from the In
ternational League as a first base
man, is being converted into an out
fielder, mainly to get the benefit of
his superior clouting.. He is getting
acquainted with his new scenic sur
of triple, besides catching a couple
of flies and hurting one gent out at
the plate.
Another game is on with the COL
