Towards the close of the game, however, the veterans tired and the Crimson mallet men forged far ahead, counting their final goal just as the game ended...

Captain Todd and Zarakov, his nearest rivals among the regulars, have been hitting consistently in the past two games, but not quite often enough to maintain their averages of a week ago. Todd is still ahead of the Harvard third baseman, but his hitting mark has shrunk from .367 to .351.
