Helped - Big Crowd
Saw Final Game

Wretched fielding by the Spaulding
players, who gave their worst exhibition
of the season, accounted for the Goddard
victory Yesterday in the third and final
game of the annual Spaulding- Goddard
baseball series. The game was won by
Goddard by the score of to 4. Previous
to yesterdays encounter the school had
annexed game apiece. The game was
witnessed by the largest crowd of the
season. Over 500 persons swarmed the
Goddard campus, taxing every available
seat and surging out onto the playing
field. There were present in the stands
many spectators who are attending the
commencement exercises at both Spauld-
ing and Goddard seminary this week.
Soon after the game was well along,
Spaulding's Unfolding wobbled and did
not cease wobbling until total OF nine
misplays had been accumulated Mean
while, the victors were displaying their
best form of the season. Their fielding
was especially fast. The seminary in
field executed a couple of clever double
PLAYS at critical stages of the game
when run making seemed imminent.
The Spaulding team took the lead at
the start of the game and maintained II
for several innings. In the fourth, God
dard forged ahead and continued to draw
away from the Spaulding lads. During
the last three innings the Spaulding adj
mirers pulled hard for batting rally,
which, however, was not forthcoming.
Opportunities were presented in the last
two sessions, but fast fielding prevented.
'Dan" Keefe was in the box for God
dard once more and demonstrated his
prowess by defeating Spaulding for the
second time. His speed was terrific and
he possessed remarkable control. He
was touched up for seven bingles, but
managed to extricate himself from many
ticklish positions. Capt. Tomasi was the
selection of the Spaulding board of STRAIT
egy. He twirled his third game of the
series with lame "wing." He was
only touched for seven scattered hits,
but the errors at his back proved the
cause of his downfall. Tomasi famed IL
of the seminary batters.
