more Game
BLUE AND GOLD
VICTORIOUS, 2 TO /

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. May 22.--In one O.
the best games of the season the
University of Delaware baseball
team on Saturday defeated swarth-
more by the score of to 1. It was
great pitchers duel between
"Dory" Collins. a southpaw for Della
ware. and 'Curley" ogden, looked
on as the best right handler in COL
lege ranks for swarthmore with
Collins having an edge.
Swarthmore's only run was scored
as. a result of an accident to Ted
Dantz in centre field, This was the
fourth inning and Esrey had reach
ed first on McCormick's error. Earn
shaw hit a short fly to centre and
Dantz in coming in fast sprained ms
ankle and the single went for TWO
bases scoring Esrey.
"Dory" Collins not only ptched
fine ball but also made the hit in the
seventh inning that drove in the
w.nning run. Neither team earned
a run. Delaware tied up the score /
IN the fifth when Jackson and Mur- :
ray singled and both moved up B
base on a wild pitch and Jackson
scored on a sacrifice fly
ogden lost control In the seventh
ana walked three men which with
Collins hit. scored a run. This Wild
ness was probably partly due to the
fact tha. Murray the first man up IN
this inning. hit line drive at ogden
which he caught but his hand was
probably numbed by the drive.
THE little Quakers threatened IN
the eighth but pretty play by Jack Z
son and Wilson stopped trouble.
Two men had singled with one out \
putting a man on first and one on
third. The man on first stole second. /
Jackson made a throw and Wilson l
