The heavy hitting crew OF the Della
ware avenue institution registered
fourteen hits.
Pierce, the fifteen year pitcher
who was much heralded, was
knocked out of the box in the sixth
canto. The youngster is reputed to
be one of the best pitchers TO hurl
for the Orange and Black. McFad-
den, who replaced him, looks like a
veteran at twirling. Nevertheless
the Cherry and White found them
easy.
One of Captain Cartons errors
resulted in a run, a stiff breeze blow
ing over the field making the ball
little hard to Judge. One play that
caused many gasps in the Whining
ton section was when Weiner 1uggled
a fly ball with two men out. The
same thing happened to Stirlith in
the seventh inning.
Smiling" Richards pitched a
wonderful game although now and
then they would connect with him.
Richards accounted for a double
play at one time. ALA Weiner led
his team mates with three hits out
OF FIVE times at bat.
