Alumni /.
Vanderbilt men may be adopts In
handling pigs hide, and there is no
Sewanee man to deny the fact, but
1t must be admitted that this Column
bia bunch has it on them little bit
when it comes to playing with the ep-
idermis of horse. With the excep-
ton Of the FIRST inning yesterday,
when they scored one run without the
semblance Of a hit, the alumni Of
Commodore Vanderbilts school never
had lo0kin. Neither would many
other teams with the brand of bali
that Minor was pitching. They got
three scratch hits of Of him, and ev-
cry one was hit in the infeld. It is
pretty hard to score many runs on
such brand Of pitching. And there
were some good hitters up against
him. One is very much mistaken II
he thinks Ray Morrison, Honus Craig,
Roy Erwin, Bill Logan and troupe
can't paste a baseball about as well
as anybody.
Ray Morrison, too, pitched great
game. The Selects" got Ave safe
ties of of his delivery. However,
with a little more alright support,
the score would have been consider
ably closer. Thirteen of the Colum-
bia boys whitfield the air, three times
in succession trying to locate the ball.
He pitched the same brand Of base
ball that he played football.
, The game was a beautiful one, and
was thoroughly appreciated by the
, crowd of $50 fans who were down at
, Riverside to see it. 1t was the OH
, cial opening Of the season, and most
, of the business men Of the city shut
: up shops and turned out to see the
exhibition. Incidentally, it might be
remarked that there won't be many
better games here this season thar
this one. In spite OF the fact tha
;. the grounds we're not smooth, the
$ fielding was very good.
!. AS for the scoring, the Alumni go
y busy right off the reel. Morrison
r reached first on an error by McDan
: lei, went to third on Belts wild throw
!. to catch him at second, and scoret
when Mcdaniel dropped the throw
to catch Craig at first. This ende'
the scoring of the alumni, as Their
, was never a chance to get to Mino
again. Morrison got single In tn
. sixth, Logan in the seventh and Bpcl
J ner in the eighth.
y The Selects" went down in ONT
] two, three order in the first innini
They opened up in the secont
E though, and scored two runs. Nj
Daniel opened the frame with a clea
single, Whatley waited for four wild
ones, Hughes got in the way Of Il
er ball, and the sacks were filled. Bah
ir Dyer, who followed, struck out, b.
Or Belts hit a sharp single through L
&C. gan at first, who was playing clO'
IN In. The two first men scored. The
ly was nothing doing again until tt
w fourth, when the locals put ma
IN across the pan on a single by Hughe
h. who went to second when Belts WI
ng hit, and scored on q single to lie
be by Minor. The last ruiz was scor'
Tx in the sixth by Baby Dyer, who reac
&c ed first on a muff by Buckner Of b
at fly to left, going to third on the
i'll ror, and scoring on an infield out.
