...some indulgent genie could wipe the first inning off yesterday's slate, Bowdoin would have to its credit a victory over Harvard, and moundsman Robinson might have his hat in the baseball Hall of Fame reserved for pitchers of no-hit games. For the last eight innings the Bowdoin twirler had the Crimson eating out of his hand hitless and well nigh runless; but since he had no magic lamp to rub, the first inning must stand, leaving Harvard a 6 to 3 victor and Robinson not an immortal, but only a defeated pitcher...
...Seconds will try to avenge a Freshman defeat when they travel this afternoon to Worcester to meet Coach Delehanty's undefeated nine. The 8 to 4 victory over the 1927 team last Saturday was the fourth straight win for the schoolboys and Follett, the twirler who is credited with three of these, will be out for his fourth today. Cooley, the shortstop who sewed up the 1927 game with his home run in the ninth frame with two men on bases, will lead off again and McGill, who has been hitting for the highest average on the Worcester team, will...
...fighting Second team, with one auspicious victory behind it, will invade Exeter at 3 o'clock this afternoon, hoping to avenge the 9 to 0 shut out of last year. Sawyer, the Exeter twirler who did not allow a single Crimson player to reach third base last year, will again be on the mound. McPhail, the left fielder, is also a veteran of last year but four of the triumphant nine are now playing with the Harvard 1927 team...
Virginia Military Institute proved easy for Coach Carney's nine, losing 11 to 6, but the University of Virginia was too strong for the Ithacans in a two game. series. Cornell lost the first, 3 to 0, and when Harrington, the Sophomore twirler, started badly in the second contest five runs trickled over the plate and even Whitney's brilliant mound-work could not save the game...
Coach Davidson has chosen the former Milton twirler to oppose Dean this afternoon. Gates has a perfect record so far, being credited with two wins in his two starts. Phelps will again be at third base where he has made himself so useful that Coach Davidson will not be likely to call on him to pitch soon again except in an emergency. Tobin has clinched his position behind the bat and the team as it will line up today will present its full strength...
