Divisionals are Lowelling along the Homer Wace. Lamarck boards the Hollow Ships Darwin the Human Race. Swinburnes Bacons Sophocles, but Mills with Henry VII; the Roses York with Glorianna, manna falls from Heaven, Rousseauing down Endymion the Frogs are all Gladstoning Grote Joshua's Farewell Address. The Last Duchess, intoning, Lloyd John's Reform is Billing Swift, while Benton Ruskins Contract. Layamon, Macduff, the Brut! Godzooks! 'Tis well-known for a fact Hannibal Island's Robinhood is easy on the Style.

...home on a pretty hit by Gordon. But it was in the next frame that the long rally was staged. Janin and Hallock each got on base by hits, and Russell followed to first on a fielder's choice. It was at this point that Conlon drove a long homer between center and left, giving him plenty of time to cross the plate. Hallock was the final scorer, coming home after a stolen base and a walk...

Murphy '22, who caught for Team A, also knocked out a homer. E. F. Goode '22, who opened on the slab for the first nine, showed his excellent speed and control of last year. Coach Slattery, however, only used him for three innings in order to give the other pitchers a chance to try their wings...
