1t was a chill wind that swept the
Yankee stadium today, keeping the
attendance down to $4,000, but it
blew the Cardinals some good. With
the grandstand cool enough to be
festooned with icicles, the Cardinals
festooned the surrounding stretches
with base hits. They clinched the
game in the first inning by smashing
in three runs off Shawkey before the
red -fanneled arm of the Yankee vet
eran had had time to settle down. Ex-
cept for few intervals thereafter,
the Cardinals clouting kept up a
steady bombardment, coming to a
climax in the seventh when Shawkey
was shelled from the hill and his
successor. Shocker, likewise ham,

the plate.
Lester Bell, stalwart third base
man, waS the big gun in the barrage

BATTLE FROM Bates
FRESHMEN, 70

Pittsfleld, Oct. 10.---M. c. l. met the
husky Bates Freshman team at Hun
newell Field Saturday afternoon and
came through with a to win. A
good sized crowd witnessed the CON
test.
The Bates Frosh team outweighed
M. c. l. considerably but the institute
team made up in speed and team work
what they lacked in weight. NJ. c. I.
cutplayed the visitors in practically
all departments of the game, excelling
in the forward pass ar1 had the bet
ter of the argument In long runs.
Freshman Coach Ray Thompson
came over from Lewiston with a squad
of % men and they put up a good
game, considering that this was their
first one. They showed lack of team
work but their weight helped them to
an appreciate extent.
The score of the game was made
near the end of the second quarter
when Packer" McClay blocked a
Bates punt and the ball was gathered
in by w. Savage. Mcclellan reeled
off long run aruodn end for II yards
and after few plays the ball was
given to Placement, who carried it
over. Mcclellan kicked the goal NJ
c. I. worked several pretty forward
passes during the game.
No scores were made in the second
half but NJ. c. I. kept the Bates Frosh
on the defensive during the greater
part of the time and were well down
the field towards the Bates goal when
time was up. Luttrell played won
derful game all the way through.
The game was interesting to the
spectators owing to the fact that Lii

the Bates Freshmen, both having been
members of last years NJ. c. /. team
