These lapses put pitchers Wally Cook, Ed Wadsworth, and By Johnson at a great disadvantage, and the 13 hits that the Gymnasts collected made things even harder for them.

Springfield pushed over three tallies in both the second and third innings off starter Cook, who was having trouble keeping his curve from hanging but deserved to be unscored on in each frame.

The loss, the varsity's second against two victories was the first for Johnson...

A wicked liner to second by Davis in the third inning was nearly turned into a triple play after walks to Harrington and Al Martin. singles by Johnson and Harrington and a walk to Davis loaded the bases in the fifth, but the Crimson scored only once when Harrington was thrown out at the plate trying to follow Johnson on Charlie Ravenel's single to right...
