...listless, and a victory over a preparatory school team by such a small score is nothing to be proud of. Only eight hits, two of which were doubtful, were all that the University team made off Baines. Hits as a rule were lacking at critical moments. In the first inning with only one out and men on second and third, a hit was not forthcoming. The same thing happened again in the sixth, while in the second, third, and fourth innings singles would have produced runs...
