On the Berlin street grounds Saturda
afternoon the Italian Athletics spent
Igoodly part of two hours in negotiating
reprisals for a defeat inflicted on then
by Goddard seminary some few days pre-
vious. If the Goddard victory caused
sore spot on the day it was won, tina
wound had festered nightly with tn
flight of time, for the Italians drank Ion;
and deep of revenge. The score was l:
to 3. 1t wasn't baseball, not in the frs
inning, at least 1t was homicide. TIL,

first skirmsh, but the outcome was new,
er in doubt The seminarians played
without their customary snap. Scampini
was keefes pitching contemporary and
neither he nor the three finger one was
in best form. Opinion differs as to wheth-
er Scamp. had an Egyptian scarab or a
rabbits foot concealed in his blouse, but
the old pitching king surely mad the luck
breaking for him. Far be il from any of
us to detract from his credit. A man
who can qualify in the finals of the Fat
Mems club, fling defiance at all flesh
reducing devices, and then go in and hold
risky set of young hitters down to
three runs deserves to have his picture in
the cigarette serials. What Scamp didn't
have in his arm he had in his head, and
a dash of both-the brain and Drawn

and HASTE, Fiske and Witt were factors
in the Goddard ranks. Coach Hoernle
succeeded Quinn in the catching pit in
the fifth, uncovered spry bit of per-
forming and celebrated his 1915 debut by
lacing out triple when first he came to
bat. Scampini and Keefe we're repeated

felders were continually seamperng to
the fence TO peer through the creyices,
and there were several lost balls. After
the homicidal mania of the Italians had
subsidized in the opening chapter. they
were content to tally in the third, fourth
and ninth rounds. More than often they
could have increased their ma iority by
using more discretion while on the circuit
and the same may be said of Goddard.
