Taking the team man for man, we find that there are ten men in the starting line-up, though of course, one of the pitchers will not actually start the game. Coach R.H. Field '26 has not yet definitely named his starting hurler, but it probably will be Field...
...eight innings of Saturday's game the right arm of J. N. Barbee '28 held its spell over the B. U. batsmen. Four hits, three of which, coupled with a pass in the second inning, produced two runs, constituted the damage done to the Crimson hurler's delivery during that period. But with two out in the ninth William Ullman '27, University second-sacker, made a high throw to first, drawing J. E. Tobin off the cushion. Two pinch-hitters were rushed into the breach, and each responded with a clean single. Jenkins, Terrier backstop, faced crowded bags and drove...
...middle of July brings vicissitudes to the pitchers, many an oldtime ace being relegated to the furnace, many an upstart daily acquiring novel glamor. In the American League Veteran Pennock of the Yankees is probably the outstanding hurler with 13 victories under his belt. In the National, Rhem of St. Louis has eleven wins to his credit.

...allow Slayton to but in his stead at the start of the seventh. Booth allowed seven hits in as many innings one of them a home run by Guerney, while the other run was also upon his shoulders. Edes scoring from second in the first inning after the Crimson hurler's two base error had allowed him to reach this station. Cutts was in fine shape when he assumed the mound burden in the eighth. His slow ball and his sharply breaking curves were working to perfection, and he had complete control of the situation in the final stages...
