Last week Andrews was cut from the first squad and it was not until yesterday that he got a chance in a University line-up. He more than lived up to Coach Mahan's expectations by completely baffling the Team B batsmen with five innings of perfect hurling. The first five men from Team B to face him from the plate were struck out without even a fly to the fielders and as far as scoring was concerned, their team mates met with little better success. Andrews struck out a total of seven men and allowed only...
...five test matches, Australia had won two. These were the crucial innings. Australia had knocked up 739 runs, England 728, and the last man was in. A run was hit, off sped the batsmen along the pitch-too late! An alert "Kangaroo" had shot the ball into the wicket keeper's gloved hands and a fraction of a second later the ball flew off the stumps just a fraction of a second before the English batsman could shove his bat over the "popping crease" (batting line). England was beaten. Loud cheers and glad faces in Australia. Silence and long...
Fifth Game. Still in Manhattan, "Good Old Walter" Johnson sought a second time to pitch a winning World's Series game. But Giant batsmen found his swift throws rare sport to bat about. They crashed 13 of them safely, circulated freely on the bases. Freddy Lindstrom, 18-year-old Giant third baseman, gained loud applause by making four hits and numerous fielding demonstrations. Jack Bentley, Giant pitcher, propelled the ball as well from the plate as toward it, getting a home run with two men on base. Score: New York 6, Washington...
Playing shabby baseball and again making errors at crucial moments, Princeton's nine dropped a one-sided game to Boston College yesterday by the score of 7-1. Caldwell, the Tiger twirler, was not at his best, and poor fielding did not help him control the B. C. batsmen, who bunched their hits effectively and took good advantages of Princeton's shortcomings. At bat, the Jersey team was unimpressive...
...week ago, Bryant and Stratton fell before the Worcester attack, 17 to 3. A veritable deluge of hits came from the Academy's bats, and a Freshman victory this afternoon will depend largely on the ability of Gates or Clifford to baffle the Worcester batsmen. On Wednesday, Fitchburg Normal School was shut out by Coach Delehanty's nine, 10 to 0. This impressive record augurs a hard battle for the Freshman team which will line up with its full strength on the field...
