do when he's tired of exploring. For
instance, he can become a captain in
the navy and fight the Austrians, like
the Duke d Abruzzi. The Duke took
Nansen's farthest North record away
from him by nineteen minutes-by the

in 1900. Since then he has climbed

STANSBURY NOT
DISCOURAGED
AT ALL
Marshall Won Second Game as
Result of "Just Plain
Luck" He Says.

Not in the least discouraged over
the fact that the Wesleyan baseball
team won only four out of thirteen
games played on Its southern trip.
Harry A. Stansbury, athletic director
at the Methodist institution, at the
mead OF the entire Wesleyan SQUAD.
breezed into the city Saturday night.
The team came here from Huntington.
where they were defeated by the Mar
shall College team two straight gaines.
The third game, which was scheduled
to have been played Saturday. was
called off on account Of the bad
weather.
The Wesleyan squad spent the night
here and was scheduled to leave for
Buckhannon at 10:40 o'clock this
morning.
Gust plain luck" was the way
Stansbury characterized Marshall's
victory over Wesleyan Friday. "The
Marshall team is the luckiest bunch
ever ran into. We had them to 2
up to the eighth inning and Morrison
was pitching Like Mathewson. Then.
all OF sudden, those Marshall fellows
had one Of their lucky hitting streaks
and when the smoke cleared away they
had tied the score. They won out in
the ninth by some more lucky hitting"
Most Of the members of the team
were worn out when they reached the
city Saturday night, having travelled
1000 miles in the last nine days, play
ing thirteen games. Three games
were called off on account of inclement
weather. The games called off were
one each with Marshall College, Navy
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
Defeats suffered By the Methodists
on their southern trip, Stansbury said,
were due to the fact that the Wesleyan
team had done no training at all be-
fore they went on the trip. However,
the games played on the trip furnished
plenty Of practice for the team, and
Stansbury feels confident that his team
will cop both Of the games to be played
with Muskingum College on April %
and 20. In the meantime the squad
will be given hard workouts daily on
the college athletic field.
