...following inning that the Crimson crossed the plate for its only tally. Hill knocked a hot grounder to the shortstop, who seemed slightly rattled and threw over the first baseman's head, allowing the runner to reach second. A grounder by Hammond advanced him another base. Burgess then hit sharply to the second baseman, who tried to catch Hill at the plate. The throw was perfect, but the ball was twisted out of the catcher's hand, giving the University its only run and tieing the score. In the same inning another score was almost registered when Burgess made...

...Crimson evened the count in the last of the fourth, however. With two out, Field reached first on a ground ball which the third baseman failed to handle cleanly, stole second on the next ball pitched, and finally crossed the plate on Burton's hot liner to center field. Another rally was started in the next inning, again with two outs. After knocking out a clean single, McGlone stole second and third, and scored easily as result of Knowlton's single. The inning was brought to a close directly afterwards when the latter tried to repeat McGlone's stunt...
...French Court. His eye fell on the " Southern Stuff" label and jumped his story a few hundred years. He injected a shot of chorus girls in' a Southern mansion and three fingers of " Poor White " mountain life. He stirred in a murder and falsely accused his hero. A hot bit from the "Forest Fire" cruet and a dash of "Blood Hounds" finished the job. Shaking it up with a few negligible actors, he presented it to the stockholders...
