Louisvilles band of Might Riders"
had the temerity to come to grips
with the soldier boys of Columbia Mil
itary Academy in bloodless diamond
duel last Saturday afternoon in the
,nresence of a representative crowd OF
hospitable Columbians who seemed to
enjoy the contest from "eend to eend."
In the vernacular of the street the
militarist made the Colonies go
some before they acknowledged de-
feat The first man to face the college
pitcher was fieet-footed Bert Daniels,
an old college man himself. Daniels
was given free transportation to nrst
base, as was his team-mate, Whiteman
and Platte hunted safely.
With the three outfelders of the
Kentuckians on base, Corriden, the!
fatian matched third baseman, threw
CONSERVATION in the camp OF the SOL
diers by tripping to right center field
and scoring a moment later on a
single by First Baseman Kraft.
The crafty guardian Of the initial
corner of the diamond burglarized Sec
ond trotted to third on an infield out
by Short Stop Roach and raced home
when Mccarthy sent sacrifice fly to
Embry left fielder of the military
school Williams walked and Luque
1.-THE diminutive twirler who halls from
the Pearl of the Antilles) signaled to
be stranded when Daniels batting the
second time in the first inning was
put to sleep.
With a five-run lead the gentlemen
from the blue grass commonwealth,
fought on the defensive until the sixth
frame, when they accumulated quar-
tet of tallies by heavy cannonading.
Evidently the athletes from the me-
tropolis of the "Old Kentucky Home"
were afraid their antagonists might be-
come inoculated with the scoring germ
and cause them trouble. At any rate,
they clinched victory by sending two
more men to counting territory in
their half of the seventh session Of
play to the chagrin of the dauntless
soldiers. AL Platte, who patrols right
field for the Colonies, led his team in
batting with three clean bunts. Platte
was sent back to the bench by the
cadet hurler causing him to make
three incisions in the balmy ozone.
For the home team Embry won sig
nal honors by making the only hit
credited to the artillerymen. Green
at shortfeld, Third Baseman Semones,
Buckle at first, Zi1nosN on second,
Embry left fielder, Taylor center gar
den and Hargis who cavorted in right
pasture during the battle rendered val
liable aide to Pitchers Saunders and
Guy whose offerings were admirably
handled by Fain, who is considered a
fiashy backstop by members of the
Louisville team. Manager Clymer,
prompted by desire to reinforce the
enemy ordered doc" Reynolds of the
Colonels' firing squad to the mound
for the gallant soldiers After brief
council of war with Receiver Fain,
the lank, Cassius like hurler dispatched
his comrades with neatness and great
eclat Only one hit was made off
Reynolds while he occupied the box.
When terms of surrender were drawn
up the score was as follows:
