the center field bleachcrs that broke

sacks. Al Morrcll also contributed a
cluster of two base blows.

Shone in the outficld, although the
! latter misjudged a center field drive
I'm the Penn. game that gave Moura-
Wan his home run. Gibbons looked
Very good at second base fielding
faster with every game and Joe
smith hit we'll and after the first two
games guarded his position in good
shape. Nal. Morrell showed his YER
! satillty playing both in the outfcld
and behind the bat. Nal. hit either
ileit or right handed according to the
: delivery of the opposing hurler.
J The pitchers all performed credit
ably. Captain Finn hurled great ball
7 at Columbia and Penn. but tried to
take little too much burden on his
shoulders, perhaps, in attempting to
work the Princeton game also. Three
games a week, being a heavy task, es-
! pecially 50 early in the season. Fred
/ Walker had the Tigers tanned when
ne nhishcd the game, and was master
or inc situation at Delaware. Rupert
Johnson, the BrOwnfield boy, deserv-
/ ed a better fate at New York Irni-
'NerSlty. He had a lot of stuff and
I tanned eight batters. The bows adj
mt that they should have won the
game for Johnson.
| II never supposed there vere 60
many southpaws in the world re-
marked ono of the returning play
ers. I'VE faced two left handlers o+
delaware and one at Pennsylvania
I ana lelt handlers were warming up
! everywhere. We did not find the
/ pitching hard however. After look
ing them all over, l must say that
! the Fingers here in Maine are lust
as Sood or better"
The Bowdoin club PLAYED to The
| biggest crowd at Philadelphia. They
! were a trlf1e pccved when their duel
was advertised as a practice game.
ana Inc Dartmouth contest to fol-
! low was posted as the first real
battle of the season. Before the
game was over, however; Capt.
Films men had the satisfaction Of

Lefty Larsen, the varsity ace was

siuSsers had no mercy on him

time trying to alibi the defeat of the
Red and BNc.
/ While in Philadelphia the bows
saw Hal Chick" Meader, the Hal
, lowell hurler, who is now the lead
ing right handler of the Villa Nova
college staff. Joe Greeley who
played guard on Villa Nova's foot
ball team last fall is another Hall
lowell lad attending the Pennsylva-
MIA college, which is only short
distance outside Philadelphia.
Jack Coombs and his squad of %
! Williams college players watched the
Delaware game. The Williamstown
| team doesn't look very strong this
year, but Jack chirps that he doesn't
care if he loses every game il he
can only beat Amherst. The Berk-
| shire Hill mllionaires don't give n.
hang for expense. Their southern
training trip will cost them in the
neighborhood of 1000 bucks.
| Princeton looked like the strong
est team of the six that Bowdoin
met and the Princeton diamond
was the best they played on. JEFF
fries, the big hurler. who was at
the summer camp of Quicker" Da-
! Wis, the former Thornton athletic di-
rector at Lake Winnepesaukee last
summer, played in the right garden
for the Orange and Black. His
pitching arm is not quite ready yet.
