Dartmouth 4, U. of Penn. 2

Penn dropped a league game to Dartmouth at Philadelphia May 20 by a score of 4-2. Ross was hit hard, but perfect support and the brilliant all-around work of Bruce pulled him out of the tight places.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Dartmouth ....1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 — 4 7 0 U. of Penn....0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 — 2 11 4

Batteries — For Dartmouth, J. Ross and F. Ross; for Penn., Titzell and Warwick.

Princeton 4, Dartmouth 3

In one of the hardest fought contests of the season, Princeton broke the Green's winning streak at Princeton May 21, pushing across the winning run in the eleventh inning. Dartmouth was again minus the services of Cuddy Murphy, whom Coach Tesreau was saving for the Prom contests, but Merritt pitched a steady game.

Although the varsity ran up a two-run lead in the fifth, Princeton came back in the seventh frame and brought the score to 3-3. From then on neither side threatened until three clean Tiger hits brought across the winning run in the eleventh.

Batteries — For Princeton, Margetts, Kirkland and Trimble; for Dartmouth, Merritt and Ross.

Boston College 5, Dartmouth 0

Cuddy Murphy lost his first game of the season when Boston College shut out Dartmouth for the second time, in the opening Prom contest . May 23. Fitzpatrick, in the box for the visitors, was practically invincible, and the home team only once threatened to score. Intermittent showers throughout the game resulted in sloppy fielding.

The score by innings:

Batteries — For Boston College, Fitzpatrick and Urban; for Dartmouth, Murphy and Ross.

Dartmouth 6, U. of Penn. 4

By getting away to a substantial lead at the start, the varsity scored its third win in the new quadrangular league before the crowd of Prom guests May 24. Six tallies, brought across in the first three innings, proved too much for the Red and Blue batters to overcome, and Merritt was steady in the pinches. Kopf at short brought in three Green runs by doubling with the bases full in the second.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Dartmouth ....1 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 — 6 8 3 U. of Penn....0 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 1 — 4 8 2

Batteries — For Dartmouth, Merritt and Ross; for Pennsylvania, Harvey, Mitchel and Warwick.

Dartmouth 6, U. of Vermont 4

Dartmouth turned the tables on Vermont in the return game played at Hanover May 27, by hammering out a 6-4 victory with the much-touted Kibbe twirling for the visitors. Backed by a 3-2 lead, Vermont looked like a sure winner until the eighth, when Kibbe went all to pieces and allowed four runs to cross the plate.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Dartmouth ....1 0 1 0 0 0 0 4 — 6 10 2 Vermont 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 — 4 6 1

Batteries — For Dartmouth, Murphy and Ross; for Vermont, Kibbe and Tryon.

Columbia 3, Dartmouth 2

A pitchers' battle between Meaney of Columbia and Merritt of Dartmouth resulted in a 3-2 win for the Blue and White at New York May 29. The work of Houlahan, in left field for Columbia, with a home run and another tally to his credit, was responsible for the defeat of the Green.

The score of innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Columbia 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 - 3 5 2 Dartmouth ....0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 — 2 4 5

Batteries—For Columbia, Meaney and Ackerman; for Dartmouth, Merritt, Harris and Ross.

Holy Cross 9, Dartmouth 1

Listless fielding and ineffective pitching for Dartmouth gave Holy Cross an easy victory in the Memorial Day contest played at Worcester. A troublesome sunfield knocked the Green defense to pieces, while Gill, the Holy Cross slab artist, did not have to extend himself to hold the visiting batters in check.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Holy Cross ...0 2 3 0 0 0 2 2 - 9 15 1 Dartmouth ....0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 7 7 Ross.

Batteries — For Holy Cross, Gill and Martin; for Dartmouth, Harris, J. Ross and F. Ross.

Wesleyan 8, Dartmouth 7

Hard hitting and loose fielding marked the last game of the most disastrous trip taken by the varsity nine this season. The contest was a see-saw affair, with Dartmouth leading by two runs in the ninth, only to have Bateman of Wesleyan even things up with a home run, sending Watson home ahead of him. Bunched hits in the eleventh gave Wesleyan another run and the long end of a 8-7 score.

The score by innings:

Batteries — For Wesleyan, Connelly and Boots; for Dartmouth, Carter, Merritt and Ross.

Dartmouth 4, Amherst 2

In the return game with Amherst, played at Hanover June 4, Dartmouth had little difficulty in putting across a 4-2 win. Murphy was at his best and was afforded brilliant support by the infield combination.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Dartmouth ....0 0 3 0 0 0 0 1 - 4 11 2 Amherst 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 — 2 8 0

Batteries — For Dartmouth, Murphy and Ross; for Amherst, Clark and Davison.

Dartmouth 12, Tufts 3

Exhibiting the best brand of baseball seen on Alumni Oval this season, the Green swamped Tufts beneath a deluge of 12 runs on June 7. After the first inning, when the visitors scored three times, Murphy never gave them an opening. Three hits was the Tufts total for the day and in the field they went completely to pieces.

The score by innings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 — R H E Dartmouth ....1 7 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 — l2 10 0 Tufts 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 — 3 3 7

Batteries — For Dartmouth, Murphy, Merritt and Ross; for Tufts, Colucci, Kirshstein and Calahan.
