pus Saturday,

| Few games of baseball are really al
interesting as that seen at Lincoln
campus Saturday afternoon, wher
Spaulding high defeated ST. Alban:
high, 65. From the start to the fin
ish it was anybody's game, and from
the fifth inning to the last of eight the
store was tied $50 Then Bob Nicora
the first man up for Spaulding in the
eighth, cracked out nice single
reached second safely on Godfrey's
error to catch him stealing, then stole
third, and on Slayton's fly to left
field scored the winning run.
At the outset ST. Adams started a
heavy attack upon Slayton's pitching
and continued to assail his delivery
so effectively that he was replaced in
the fourth inning after two-bagger,
a single and three Dagger had been
reaped from his serving in that period
alone. Young 0'Leary, who had been
playing in centerfield, took his place
and with two men already out, re.
tired the third with a strike out.
Due to the sudden shift, O'Leary
had not had an opportunity to warm
up" and in the next inning the effect
of this was shown in his wildness. as
he passed four men in the inning, fore.
ing in one run. From then on he
worked smoothly.
OIeary opened the game for Spauld-
ing with a nice three base hit to cen
terrified, and when Catcher Willis ran
far from the plate to catch the foul
fly from Veale's bat, O'Leary stole
home and scored the first run of the
game.
In the third Spaulding garnered three
runs. Veale connected for a two-base
hit to left field, Nicora flied to center
field and was robbed of an excellent
hit by Alexander's fine fielding. On
Slayton's single to left, Veale scored.
Douglas next hit to shortstop Pope,
who threw Slayton out, going from
third to home, but Douglas was safe
at first. Then the little Babe" Ruth
of Spaulding, the smallest man on the
team, Billie" Watt, stepped to the
plate with home run wallop behind
the stick, and the first ball over went
flying into deep centerheld for home
run. The hit scored two runs and was
Watts second home run this season,
Again in the fifth Spaulding scored on
two singles and two serrors and final
ly SHARED the game with Nicora's run
in the eighth.
st. Adams scored twice in the sec
ond by Pope's two-bagger, Z. Willis
single, and w. Willis Dagger, In
the fourth Doheny drove the ball to
right field for two base hit. Il. viii
lis singled and on w. Willis three
Dagger to centerfeld failed to touch
second base. w Willis, according to
umpire Marehesi, also failed TO touch
second, and both men we're called out
with the result that st. Adams high !
was up in arms" and ready to leave
the field Coach Allan Johnston pre- |
ferred to forfeit the decision on w. |
Willis rather than have the team leave |
the field dissatisfied, and asked UNI
pire Marchesi TO retract his decision |
and put w. Willis back on third base.
This was done, but it awaited the team
nothing, as oLeary struck out J,
Walsh for the third out.
In the fifth oLeary's wildness was
mainly responsible for the last two
runs to be scored by St. Albans.
There is a possibility that these
cams will meet again on some neutral
