Big George Smith won his sixth game
OF the season AT the expense OF New
York University on South Field yester-
day afternoon by a score Of . to |. The
game was a close and interesting con
test. one clean hit and one not cx-
actly orthodox were all that y. Y. L.
got during the min innings.
Tettleinan. the first man up in the
first inning. got a hit that detected
from Smiths glove. and Egan banged
a clean one IN the ninth over second.
Smith struck out ten bltters. His
control skiddcd for a spell in the third
inning and Tettleman and Mendelsohn
walked. 1t returned. however. and Pau
and Egan struck out. leaving their two
ANXIOUS team mates stranded. In the
first inning. after Tettleman had made
his scratchy single. Smith struck out
the next three men.
Hagcbloom was hit i've times. one
being a triple and another u double.
Columbia's winning run was not due 10
any flaw In the pitching PROCESS.
, \ lapse in defence allowed Capt.
Bobby Watt TO gain first base when
the blond twiricr booted the Columbia
leaders grounder In the NTH inning.
Watt, stole second. Mardon hcaved TO
centre field and Heating completed the
series OF miscucs by allowing the ball
to filter through his legs. Wat raced
fast from second and crossed the home
plate with a few feet to spare. This
was the winning run.
Don Beck. who has been announced
as a semi-professional. a professional
| and a BON flde amateur. denied that he
rad signed with the Detroit Tigcrs.
His batting yesterday made the denial
superfir Gus. II vas a bad day FOR
him. He didn't pitch and he didn't hit.
He has not lost a game I'll season and
yesterday was the first time In eleven
victories. one fifteen ming tie II one
4 to 3 defeat. which the team has gone
through so far that he did not connect
safely one or more times. lie said
that he intended playing with Columbia
another year, a statement that greatly
allaycd the mind of Coach Andy
Coakley.
Bobby Watt, who has signed more al
legged major lcagu" contracts than the
law allows. lived UP TO his reputation
as one OF the best second hascmen in
college baseball. He got a triple and u
single. scored both runs and played a
sterling game at second base. Mernstein
| nabbed two hard drives In a dazzling
manner and Buonasuro played a fine
fielding game.
New York University had a few oc-
casions to score besides the second in
ing. in which II made the lone tally, but
an ovcrzealousncss on the tases choked
off the chances. In the second inning.
| after conneil had made the first Violet
rum. Draper had third stolen by three
feet only TO so six inches beyond
the bag and be tagged out by Houck.
Again in the third nning Tettleman did
the same thing and was out. Spottke 10
IIouck.
Connell got TO frst in the second in
ming. when Houck juggled his hunt.
Heating sacrificed him to secord. Watt
hungled up Draper's easy grounder and
keating scored.
Columbia's first run was the result of
clean hitting. Watt tripled in the initial
frame. lie played II safe on Haskins's
grounder TO rfau and was rewarded
for his conservative action when Buona-
guro hit los two bases 10 centre field.
