NEWARK, June 3-Delaware Col
lege has just closed a successful sea-
son in both baseball and track. In
baseball of the ten games payed Della
ware won seven and lost three. Three
of the scheduled games had to be
postponed because Of rain. In track,
the blue and gold relay team started
the season by winning a place at the
annual meet on Franklin Field. Phil
adelphia. There we're but two dual
meets, Delaware losing one to Gettys-
burg by a narrow margin and defeat
ing Temple. DreXel cancelled the
meet scheduled for last Saturday.
Coach McAvoy is we'll pleased with
the showing made by both teams and
five of the field and track men es-
tablished new Delaware College re-
cords.
After winning the opening baseball
game of the season from Baltimore
Polytechnice Institute by the score of
9 to 3, the team played poor ball for
a time dropping three out of the next
four games. After this slump, how
ever, the club played fine ball win
ming the last five games. The defeats
we're largely due to poor fielding by
the inielders. The scores of all games
played follows:
Delaware. 8; Baltimore Polytechnic
Institute, 3.
Drexel. Il; Delaware 6.

The work of the pitchers was a
feature of most all the games, and
with perfect support, there would
not have been defeat. Hoch pitched
seven games. winning four and los
ing three. Wallace pitched three
games, all of which he won. DreXel,
who played Delaware the second game
of the season. was the only club 20
get more than six hits off the blue
and gold pitchers. Hoch worked tve
innings against Drexel, allowed si1
hits. and Bounds, who finished the
game, was touched up for FIVE hits In
the Swarthmore game the little
Ouakers scored seven runs and won
although Hoch held them to three
hits, ragged fielding losing the game
Hoch lost his own game against Johns
Hopkins. which went eleven innings
He tripled in the ninth inning Will
none down and could have scored on
a long fly to the outfield which fol
lowed, but was not ready to make
the start for home when the ball was
caught This run would have given
Delaware a ninth inning victory, and
as it was, Johns Hopkins won out IN
the eleventh.
While both pitchers had good curves
their effectiveness was largely due tC
their great control. In the seventeen
inning game with st. Johns. Of An
napolis, which Delaware won, / to 0
a worlds record was made, wher
both Hoch and Matthews, the visiting
twirler, went the full seventeen in
nings without passing man. When 1
was needed. however, HOch and Wal
lace both had plenty of stuff, as Il
indicated by the large number of op
posing batsmen they famed.
During the season Hoch pitched g.
innings. His opponents, in the s.
innings, scored S2 runs and made s.
hits. The fact of 32 runs beinl
scored on only "a hits shows that th'
fielding was poor. or this numbe
