Stan Johnson, the husky mounder for the Cap and Gown men, completely mystified the Junior batters. He was ably supported by an airtight infield composed of Falvey, Monroe and Dickson. Although the game dragged along for the first few sessions, the Seniors started things going in the seventh inning, when they knocked four pitchers completely...
