A. AND Iff. VS. S. W. U.
FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON-
CLEAN AND SNAPPY
The Visitors Defeated by a Score of 2 to 0
In First Game.
Monday the cadets were given both
a treat and a surprise in the way of
baseball games between the A.
and M. and S. W. U. and which result
ed in a score of 2 to 0 in favor of A.
and M.
The surprise lay in the fact that
most of the boys did not think the
J-eaju capable. of v . puf,Un.a up-^Jngh
class article of baseball as they suc
ceeded in doing and some “before 'the
game” were not a bit bashful about
stating it. Perhaps they had reasons
to believe that we would not have a
team that would be up to the stand
ard for all the boys that compose the
team are very young and to a certain
extent inexperienced besides having
been handicapped by lack of practice
and the absence of old men on the
team. But these “adversibilities”
seemed to have been more encourag
ing than discouraging, judging from
tbe way they played Monday.
The treat came in the form of a
first class game of baseball but pri
marily in the victory for A. and M.
At no stage of the game was there a
certainty as to who would win the
game Valthough A and M. outfielded
and out hit her opponents. The
score was 0 0 until first part of ninth
inning and then Cornell hooked up
the game with a timely three-bagger.
Now for a fair rehearsal of how it
happened, i. e., S. W. U.’s downfall.
A. and M. outshut and outhit her
opponents during the entire game
but were prevented from scoring by
the right arm of McFain and on ac
count of the fact that their hits were
scattered. We shall omit occurences
of first eight innings, for neither side
scored, and relate incidents of the
fatal 9th spasm.
Carlin, first man up struck out. Mc
Daniel next man up was soaked in
the ribs and in consequence went to
first. He stole second and went to
third on a hot to Stone by English who
succeded in reaching first by error,
then come to bat amid cheers, for the
English then stole second, Cornell
populace were aroused by this time,
and waited until he got one that
looked good to him. He then proceed
ed to make such successful connec
tion that he was enabled to reach
third and McDaniel and English to
score, before .the pellet could be re
trieved.
S. W. U. now came to bat and
came very near making things inter
esting. Stone got first on balls, was
advanced to third by sacrifice and a
wild throw by DeWfme , .
Eversberg succeded in partly stop
ping the ball and Stone thought he
saw a good chance for home, but, oh,
no! Eversberg succeeded in recovering
and throwing the ball to Cornell who
did the rest. Thus ended one of the
best and cleanest games of ball that
has ever been played at the athletic
field. There was not one word of
dissension.
We regard the S. W. XL bunch as
gentlemen in every sense of the
word.
