TO HOLY CROSS
Rothrock's Wild Pitch in
Twelfth Lost Great
Pitchers Duel
BRUTAL ATTACK ON
UMPIRE MCGOWAN

Baseball fans who we're fortunate
enough TO have witnessed the great
diamond battle al Harlan Field Sat
urday afternoon between University
Of Delaware and the crack Holy
Cross will no doubt be telling about
the contest OF tanning bees for years
10 come. After the game had gone
eleven innings without either team
scoring Captain Joe" Rothrock, the
big Delaware southpaw with two out
and a Holy Cross runner on third
uncorked a wild pitch that lost him
the game. TO 0.
There was a thrill In every one Of
the twelve innings. Rothrock and
Carroll. the visitors best pitcher had
a great pitching duel. Time after
time both twirlers we're saved from
possible scores by sensational field
ing. Until he made the wild pitch
that lost him the game Rothrock
had gone II consecutive innings
against two OF the strongest college
teams in the country without a run
being scored on him as he pitched
/ the last six innings OF the game
against Bowdoin College at Newark
the previous Saturday without al
/ lowing a run.
/ The pleasure Of the game was
partly marred by display OF rowdy-
| ism on the part OF the Holy Cross
/ players lead by Coach Jack Barry
for years star shortstop for Connie
I Mack's Athletics. In the tenth in
I thing. In this inning with a man on
third. Umpire Jack" MCGOWAN call
ed a third strike on Lon Dugan, max
/ ing the third out. Harry jumped from
/ the bench and running out to plate
| caught. MCGOWAN by the arm pull
| ing him around and shaking him.
MCGOWAN resented this and words
followed. Several other Holy Cross
players ran up and In an instant
there was rough house. With Barry
and several other visiting players
holding his arms al least one Of the
Holy cross players struck MCGOWAN
once and struck at him several Other
times. Jack" eventually got loose
and mixed things some himself. A
least one Holy Cross player was get
ting the worst Of It when sergean
Devenish. three other officers ant
some OF the Delaware players man

Devenish lead Barry back 70 IN
