BASEBALL
May, 1909

In the opening series of the baseball season, the Dartmouth team displayed a marked reversal of form on the second day, and defeated Bowdoin 12 to 0, whereas on the first day the game had been dropped 6 to 1 to the visitors. Ekstrom pitched his first game for Dartmouth on the opening day, and it was a good one, but the six errors in his support threw the game to Bowdoin. Captain Manter of Bowdoin excelled in fielding and hitting while Means pitched high class ball.

The game the next day, also held on the Oval, gave the Dartmouth team a chance to overcome its nervousness, and with Mitchell pitching gilt-edged ball and allowing only three scattered hits, the Green hit almost at will while Bowdoin went to pieces. Brady's playing at first was a feature. The final score was a shut-out, 12 to 0 for Dartmouth. Summaries:

DARTMOUTH 4 — HOLY CROSS I

Striking out eight men and allowing only six to reach first base, Mitchell of Dartmouth was the leading factor in the defeat of Holy Cross on the Oval, Tuesday, May 4. The hitting of Emerson and Norton at critical periods and a great catch by Emerson, an almost sure three-bagger, were the features. Dowd of Holy Cross pitched well but had ragged support. Summary:

TUFTS I — DARTMOUTH O

Brady's muff of a hot grounder between first and second was the largest factor in scoring the run for Tufts that meant the game, in the contest between Dartmouth and Tufts at the Oval, Thursday, May 6. Outside of this one misplay the Green gave Mitchell great support, and as a whole played somewhat better ball than the victors. Martin pitched splendidly for Tufts, striking out two men in the eighth when the bases were full. Summary:

DARTMOUTH 7 — TRINITY 2

With the score 2 to 2 at the beginning of the eighth inning Cook of Trinity suddenly blew up and allowed Dartmouth five runs in the game played at the Oval, Saturday, May 8. In that one inning nearly the whole Dartmouth team went to bat. Ganley and Gammons had their first try-out as a Dartmouth battery, and up to the eighth inning worked well together. At this stage, however, Coach Keady decided to take no chances, and substituted Mitchell and Chadbourne. Brady, Daly, and Emerson were the leaders in the Dartmouth hitting. Summary :

ONE GAME OUT OF THREE

The Dartmouth nine fell down somewhat on their first trip of the year, managing to win but one of the three games played. Pennsylvania shut out the Green 5 to o, while Princeton nosed out a close win 6 to 5, but West Point wastaken into camp 5 to 4.

Five hits bunched on Ekstrom were responsible for the most of the runs at Philadelphia May 10, while the tightness of Watts allowed the Dartmouth men only three hits and no chance to score. A home run by Woods of Penn was the feature.

Dawson's hit scoring Dillon in the ninth inning tallied the run that defeated Dartmouth at Princeton the following day. A high wind made the game full of errors and consequently loose. Mitchell pitched well for the Green but poor support lost him his game. Drewes on' the other hand was knocked from the box and Cunningham had to be substituted for Princeton. Norton, and Warwick were the stars of the contest.

With the bases full and the score tied in the seventh inning, Ekstrom was substituted for Ganley and retired the side in order, thus saving Dartmouth from almost certain defeat at the hands of the Army at West Point, May 2. In the eighth inning Daly got to first on an error, stole second and third and annexed the winning tally on a wild throw. Devore worked well for the Cadets in the box, but his own and his infielder's errors lost him the game. Summaries:

DARTMOUTH 8 — VERMONT O

Dartmouth's terrific batting streak was too much for Vermont in a game played on the Oval, Wednesday, May 19, and the latter went down in a 8 to 0 defeat. The first'few.innings were played in drizzling rain and the weather seemed to be a little too much for Collins, the crack Vermont twirler, as he went up in the air very badly. Haynes, who relieved him, was not any more effective, however. Mitchell pitched wonderful ball for Dartmouth and with excellent support only allowed one hit. Every man on the Dartmouth team except one got a hit, and several got two apiece.

WILLIAMS FAILS

Errorless ball, with the exception of one bad throw which did no damage, and the taking of advantage of every opportunity, was the means by which Dartmouth defeated Williams 2 to 1 in the big game of Prom Week. The score was tied in the eighth when Captain Schildmiller with a burning bingle scored Conroy with the winning run. Ganley and Templeton were evenly matched in the box, each pitching heady ball. A feature was the throw to the plate by Emerson in the seventh, cutting off a sure tally.

DARTMOUTH 6 — AMHERST 2

The remaining Prom guests saw Dartmouth take Amherst into camp on the Saturday of Junior Week. The conquerors of Yale went down 6 to 2 before a fierce eighth inning batting rally. With the score 2 to 2 at the end of the seventh, the game looked good for extra innings, so were Mitchell and Vernon struggling. But at this point the Amherst man loosened for three hits in a bunch, and these coupled with fielders' errors gave the Green four runs and the game. Summary:
