...rules as to fouls are varied. The A. A. U. rules, which govern intercollegiate games, differ from those used in professional leagues in that the one-hand dribble is mandatory in one and not in the other. Then there are some differences in the rules among the professional leagues and in this connection I might cite an instance regarding the throwing of free baskets from the foul line as practiced in the old New York State League and the Eastern League of Pennsylvania. In the New York State League it was provided that the man who was fouled should make...
...practice game yesterday Team A of the University baseball squad defeated Team B in five innings by a score of 2 to 0. The fielding for the most part was excellent, Murray of Team B robbing Abbot of a sure hit by a remarkable one-hand catch. Only five hits were got during the game, A getting two off Whitney and B three off Mahan...
...opposing pitcher was rather weak; nine hits were made off Howes during the first seven innings, and one off Caldwell. On the other hand Hicks, with his usual speed and curves, held the Cornell batters well in hand. Four hits, two of them triples, completed the total. Eight men struck out and only one reached first on balls. With the exception of MacLaughlin, whose eyes seemed to trouble him, the fielding of the University team was excellent. Simons made a beautiful one-hand stop of a high bounder, which was going over second, and threw to first, retiring the side...
...many bright spots in the work of the team, such as Leonard's base-running, and the fielding. Currier caught two men at second at critical times by swift, accurate throws, and played well behind the bat. Simons covered a large area at short stop, and made a remarkable one-hand stop of Shay's grounder, but his throw to first was a little low. His jumping catch of Mansfield's liner in the ninth stopped further trouble. Harding covered first in good style, and Hicks and McCall both fielded their positions creditably. In the outfield, Lanigan caught two long...
...steady game at second after his lay-off, accepting seven chances without a misplay. Harding livened the team up on first considerably, and, though he let a grounder get through him in the first inning, he made some clever pick-ups of low throws, and by a splendid one-hand catch in the ninth prevented Simons's high throw from being an error. At the bat he showed good form, securing a timely single, and a neat sacrifice. Leonard played a finished game on third, getting everything within reach, and in the eighth started a fast double play to McCall...
