Cornell's nine broke Columbia's string
Of Victories yesterday by winning 4 20

Dumfounded. tho big crowd Of spec
tetors who faced these words saw .he
powerful Kings College team. winners
Of seven straight, fouuGcrcd during the
reign Of King George Smith. the Blue
and White monarch Of the hurting hill.
Cornell staged two successful REBEL
ions in the first and eighth innings,
nicking big George for two tallies IN
each frame when he tried to see Just
how near the centre Of the plate, waist
high, he could propel the pill.
Columbia's sluggers remained qutes-
cent under the hypnotic influence of the
waves and shoots Of large William SUIT
terby, the famous basketball centre,
who lowered over ell opponents last
winter. "Suds" kept tossing baskets
into the mitt Of stocky Clary with such
effect that Columbia gathered only five
hits.
Sutterby Loses Smile.
Sutterby began to lose the smile that
tuCged at his features all through tho
early innings IN the eighth frame, when
the desperate Blue and White. wild be-
cause they saw their eighth victory
slipping away, began at last 10 pound
the ball. One run came IN the eighth
and two more in the ninth, with the
very best help Of the Cornell short
fielder Eckley, who had a bad day.
Then, with q man on base and only one
tiny run needed 20 tie, Nike Buona-
euro, the freshman star, grounded 10
Sutterby on the first ball pitched.

and then brought the count TO 3 and Z.

but the latter was out at the plate

double steal O'Connel hitching his
trousers at second. Budd's wallop over
third scored O'Connell, Budd being
nipped trying 70 stretch his drive, Ben
son 20 Watt, OF @ fast play.
Things were just things until the
eighth, when Cornell again began 20
pound on the throne Of King George
when he politely insisted on growing
the globule, trying TO give an easy time
to q green catcher, Clute, who sue
ceeded Temple after the latter had seen
a pinch hitter go UP for him. Shady
Lane, the big Blue and White star re-
ceiyer, has two broken fingers, and was
out Of the lineup, in addition 70 Jach
Laird, whose hip IS injured. HasklnS
took Laird's place IN centre.
Ludwig Drives Deep.
Ludwig swatted to deep left for two
hassocks. Eckley hit the first ball
little further in the same direction for
three bases. Clary turned somersaults
on the bench. almost splklng Coach Al
Sharpe. Sutterby hit the next first
pitch TO left for a single, scoring EcH-
few. and then rubbed it in by selecting
slow hall 70 steal on. Smith measured
carefully and nit Captain Mellen IN the
ribs. but varied the direction on CARY
and merely planked his fingers. Inc
next two men, however, went out.
Columbia's partisans gave a poor eI-
hibition Of craftsmanship IN the sew

Fckley awaited Beck's pop. Eckley
dropped the ball and, with one down,
fumbled Haskins's grounder with dou,,

and stamped ranted and roared. Sut-
terby pulled out Of the hole runless,
however, but in the eighth Buonaguro,

In the ninth Eckley tried 20 hand
over the contest HOuck got in the
way of q pitched ball. Eddie Shea, hit

went out. Eckley fumbled Smiths
1Crounder. Captain Bobby Watt singled
Ito centre, scoring HOuck, Newman run

handing his glove TO Captain Meilen.
His resignation. while very moving, was
not accented. Mellen evidently praying

Great Catch by Benson.
Several funny and several good plays

sensational catch Of o long foul fly IN

Watt and BuonagurO provided fast

A funny mix-up came In the second.
