The game played last Thursday be-
tween Mechanical and Chemical, which
the former won by the score of 7-6,
has been protested by the Chemical
Department on account of a decision
on a pop fly along the first base line
by Mercer. The ball struck in fair
territory but rolled over the foul line,
but his "Cmps' ruled that the ball
was fair and called the batter safe.
This developed into a run a few mo-
ments later and proved to be the win
ming margin. Billy Coslett says one
run wouldn't have been half enough
If they had played the full nine in
nings.
The dupont Band led by Billy Cos
lett helped liven up Mondays battle.
The game between the Mechanics
and engineers was by far the fastest
game played this season. The Me-
chanies looked as though they were
going to take the count. again in the
first inning when the Engineers took
full possession of all three bases.
Pep Young came up and stung one
on the nose for a base, scoring two
runs. This was all they got in this
inning. Costing who had been labor
ing on the pitching peak decided they
had enough and put on full steam, re-
firing the side without further dam
age.
The Mechanics came right back in
their half. Old Pop Smith came to
the plate. After setting himself,
threw his clutches back to the bench
and took a walIop out of that old pill
that We can still hear ringing in our
ears. Costing tried hard to lose the
old ball at this point but Sullinger
surprised himself more than anyone
else by running as far as his wind
would take him and grabbing the bali
as It was sailing over his head with a
greet big "Hcme Run" label on it.
This ended the inning, but never dis
couraged the Mechanics for q minute.
They came back again in their half of
the second inning and filled the bases
with none out. 1t began to look as
though Caskey's shut-out streak was
to be broken at last. He pulled him
self together, however, and famed the
next three batters. The strain was
too much, however, and the Mechanics
finally broke his record of twenty con-
secutive scoTeless innings in the third
on HIn+a1.'s Jz-1Ilnn +b1.c,,nl +l1 Aox-
with second and third occupied with a
couple of his friends.
The Engineers collected a one run
lead in their half of the third which
they held until the last inning when
the Mechanics got sore and went out
after the old ball game as though they
meant to completely ruin the Engi-
neers. A pass, a sacrifice, a boot by
cur old friend Dory Fish and old
Pop" Smiths healthy wallop over the
second sack chased two runs across
the plate which was enough to win,
bat, evidently, Smith felt differently,
for he kept right on to third and when
the ball was fumbled for an instant
Jumped up and surprised everyone by
lighting out for home. We suppose
Iagea was the most surprised of all
present however, and Smith might
just as well have saved his new uni
form by standing up. The throw from
third was low and Wild and Smith slid
into the plate for another run for good
measure. This was where Ben Pea
cock lost his voice. Costing finished
the game in the last inning with daz-
ling speed and famed everything the
Engineers sent up there, but we guess
they couldn't hit what they couldn't
see.
The League teams present a very
good appearance in the new uniform.
The All Star uniforms are white
with dupont D. w" across the front
and the old familiar DUPONT oval on
the sleeve.
