Columbia Rally
In Ninth Beats
Union College
Home Run Brings Local
Team From Behind
to Victory

Columbia University defeated Union
College yesterday afternoon by rally
in the ninth inning, which brought in
two runs and gave her the game by a
score Of to a. The playing by Colum-
bia through most of the game was char
acterized by an inability to bring in the
necessary run when there was a favor
able break, and for this reason Union
kept the lead from the end of the third
inning until the ninth. Four of Colum-
bias scores came on home runs, the
other being.knocked in by Oberrende-,
pinch hitter for Weinstein in the ninth.
Lester, one of Columbia's substitute
pitchers, showed up we'll for his first
game. He allowed only seven hits and
struck out four. Coach Coakely is saw
ing Koenig and Farrell, the two regu-
lar boxmen, for the more important
game with Cornell this afternoon. Les
ter lasted out the entire nine innings,
but his rival, Leshowski, weakened in
the last inning, when Columbia cleaned
up. In the whole game he allowed nine
hits. However, he struck out ei ght
Columbia batsmcn and walked no one.
Columbia had peculiar series of
home runs. In the first inning Buona-
guro knocked clean circuit into left
field and scored Carroll In the third
frame Houlihan followed Bunny's ex-
ample, but unluckly the bases were
empty. The luckicst home run of the
afternoon was Goodman's, in the ninth
inning, when everything looked black
for Columbia. He tied the score and
put new life into the New York team.
