DARTMOUTH 4—MASSACHUSETTS O

Dartmouth opened the home season April 20 by defeating Massachusetts State College, 4 to 0. The game was played on the campus in the presence of five hundred shivering spectators.

In spite of the cold wind, however, the game was an excellent one. Glaze, Dartmouth's, cold weather pitcher, pitched a speedy and heady game, and had little trouble in shutting out his opponents. Only one man, O'Donnell, could do anything with his delivery, and nine batsmen went out on strikes. Cobb, also, pitched excellent ball, and with good support would have held Dartmouth to alto o score. Both pitchers fielded their positions strongly. Schildmiller's all around game and plays by Grebenstein and Richardson were features.

McDuffee held the visitors at all times, while Reid weakened in the sixth and eighth innings and allowed the locals to win an easy victory. Richardson's hitting was superior; his clean triple and home run netted four scores. Brown, the visiting shortstop, did clever work, accepting eight chances. Schildmiller's work at first base was superb. The score:

VICTORY OVER HARVARD

For the third successive time in as many seasons, Dartmouth defeated Harvard at Cambridge, Saturday, April 27, by the score of 4 to 3. As in the two previous games, Skillin pitched for the Green.

The contest was close throughout. Harvard led off with two runs in the first inning, when, after Skillin had hit Briggs, McCall's double and Dexter's single sent two men across the rubber, Dartmouth, with this handicap, played steady ball, and in the fifth scored its first run on Richardson's two-bagger, Norton's single, and Shoppelry's fly to right; and tied the score in the sixth on Brigg's error off Skillin and Simons' wild throw past first. In the seventh Dartmouth clinched the victory by scoring two runs. Shoppelry reached first on Brigg's error, and went to second on McLane's safe bunt. The runners moved up a notch on Schildmiller's perfect sacrifice and scored on Merritt's ringing hit to center. Harvard looked dangerous in the ninth, when after two men were out, a scratch hit by Dexter, a stolen base, and a single by Leonard netted a run; but Pritchett closed the rally by flying out to-Norton.

Dartmouth's hitting was more timely than Harvard's, and its fielding far superior. The Dartmouth infield, Shoppelry and Merritt, did great work on the defense, while Richardson and Norton did the best hitting. McCall, Dexter, and Currier excelled for Harvard. The score:
