The baseball team is rounding into shape and bids fair to be one of the best Dartmouth has had. Of six games played during the past month, Dartmouth has won four, including the game with Harvard on Soldiers Field, May IS. The team is practically composed of veterans, and the pitching staff has been showing up well. The standbys for this position are Ekstrom, Morey and Hallett. The latter is the find of the season, a sophomore who has suddenly jumped into the limelight as a strong, dependable pitcher. Dartmouth's only defeats up to the time of going to press have been at the hands of Cornell and Williams, the latter game being lost by a one-point margin. Bowdoin appeared on the scene with "Jimmy" Conroy, Dartmouth '11, as coach. The team was in poor form and did not have any dependable pitcher. Dartmouth found the team easy on two successive days, winning by the scores of 12-2 and 22-2. In the Williams game the Green batsmen were unable to find Davis' curves. The latter allowed but five hits, struck out eight men, and did not allow a pass. The score was 4-1 ■in favor of the Purple. The Harvard game on May 18, brought balm and healing to Dartmouth hearts. When the dust cleared away, the score stood nine to five in Dartmouth's favor. The entire team played excellent ball. Morey occupied the slab and pitched well on the whole. He kept his hits scattered and, except for the sixth inning, was always in command of the situation. The scores of the six games are as follows:
Dartmouth 12—Bowdoin 2. Dartmouth 22—Bowdoin 2. Dartmouth 9—Syracuse 5. Dartmouth 2—Cornell 3. Dartmouth I—Williams 4. Dartmouth 9—Harvard 5.
Several of the games were cancelled on account of rain, and, in fact, rainy weather on ball game day has become almost proverbial in Hanover. The following is the Dartmouth lineup of the Harvard game:
Fahey, s; Daley, r; Hoban, cf; Bennett, 1b; Donahue, 2b; Gammons, If; Rollins, 3b; Spillane, c; Morey, p.
The freshmen have played two regular games, with Tilton Academy and with Dean Academy. They lost to Tilton 3-2, but came back strong and beat Dean 11-2. The three most prominent slab artists for the freshmen go under the alliterative names of Perry, Parrott, and Pelletier. The first named has shown himself to be the more steady and dependable. Mernstein, Lowe, and Wanamaker have been the brightest stars for the freshmen so far. The lineup is as follows:
Simoneau, rf; Mernstein, 2b; Wanamaker, c; Lowe, ss; Ghee, 3b; Milmore, cf; Sisk, 1b ; Harris, 1b ; Whitely, If; Parrott, p.
