Dartmouth opened the 1921 baseball season with a loss when the University of Virginia won the first contest of the Green's southern trip by bunching hits and taking advantage of a brace of errors at Charlottesville, April 1. Ross, pitching for Dartmouth, struck out four men, but allowed 13 hits, while the Hanoverians were gathering but six off the southern pitching. Kopf's two singles and Bower's three tallies were the features of the Dartmouth offensive. The score :—

Tracy allowed but four hits scattered throughout the nine innings and struck out three men. Six Dartmouth errors paved the way for some Johns Hopkins scoring, but these were offset by the Green's stick work, which produced 10 hits. The score: R. H. E

At Washington the Green faced some fancy pitching from the hands of Hyman and McCarthy, of Georgetown, who struck out 14 Hanoverians during the afternoon of April 4. In spite of this hurling Dartmouth men con- nected seven times for hits, including a foursack clout which Robertson contributed. Both Tracy and Ross were on the mound for the Green and scored a total of four strike-outs. The score:—

On April 5 the University of Maryland took the measure of Tesreau's proteges at Oriole Field, Baltimore, by a score of 8 to 6. Weak pitching and errors were mainly responsible for the Green's defeat, a combination of these factors resulting in five runs for the Marylands in the seventh inning. The game was loosely played throughout, with seven errors charged to the home team and five to Dartmouth. The. score:—

Coach Tesreau's men upset all the dope in their clash with Annapolis, April 6, forcing the midshipmen to the short end of a 13 to 6 score. The game was considerable of a hit- ting bee with the sailors garnering 12 blows and the Green men 10. Six errors on the part of the sea-farers were also prominent in the Green scoring. The score :—

Three singles constituted the total of hits which the Dartmouth stick men were able to scratch off the delivery of Collins, who twirled for Delaware State, at Newark, Del., April 7. Meanwhile the Delaware clan found the Dartmouth pitchers for 12 safeties and established a solid lead which gave them the game. The score:—

At Swarthmore, April 8, the Green encoun- tered the strongest pitching opposition of the trip in the person, of Clancy, who let the Hanoverians down with only two hits. Swarthmore collected 10 swats which noticeably counteracted five errors. The score:—

The last game of the trip went to Dartmouth when Tracy held Layfayette to six hits at Easton, Pa., April 9. The game was a cleancut exhibition which was knotted until the ninth inning when Coach Tesreau's pupils amassed five tallies and sewed up the game.
