...first time in three years the Varsity football team will start the season without two strikes already upon it and the third, a high hard one coming while the batter is still off balance. That may be mixing sports and figures of speech but it's literally true, and this is the season when sports are being mixed anyway...
...week in Chicago, spectacled Pitcher Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox, who was barely good enough to make the team last year, pitched the first one in the major leagues since August 31, 1935. Rarest and most satisfying kind of no-hit game is one in which no batter reaches first base, of which there are six on record in the major leagues. In Pitcher Dietrich's no-hit game, which the White Sox won, 8-to-0, three members of the St. Louis Browns reached first base-two on walks, one on an infield error...

Ingalls forced the Tufts batter to ground out to the pitcher's box retiring the side...

The Dean bean balls resulted in a free-for-all fist light on the field, fines of $50 each for Pitcher Dean...

The Bilodeau, Johns double-play combination at shortstop and second, and Owen in the hot corner complete probably the best infield in the league. But the outfield is at best erratic. The veteran Jim Sullivan in right is only an average batter and a good fielder. One of the surprizes of the season is the sensational play of Mal "Buster" McTernen in the centerfield garden. Always a go-getter, McTernen has become the hitting star of the recent games with St. Johns and Northeastern. Russ Allen, football captain-elect, at present holds...
