Dartmouth 6—Middlebury 3

Caswell, the hard-hitting- center fielder of the Dartmouth nine provided a climactic home run in the ninth inning of the contest with Middlebury, April 23, breaking up a 3 to 3 tie and giving the Green team a 6 to 3 win over Dave Morey's minions. Preceding the center fielder's assault Captain Tracy had been placed on first, by Daly's error and Dagostino had bounced a sharp grounder to short which Papke was unable to handle with sufficient speed to score a put out. Caswell's clout scored both runners.

Caswell was responsible for the first Dartmouth tally also, this coming in the first inning after a long triple by Dagostino, who scored on the center fielder's sacrifice fly. Another counter was added in the second inning, Shaneman crashing out a double and scoring on Seavey's single. Again, in the third inning, a Dartmouth runner crossed the plate when Dagostino singled and Heep, running for him, completed the circuit on Maynard's hit.

Middlebury broke into the scoring column in the sixth inning, Gallagher scoring after his base hit, Timberman's duplicate of it, a sacrifice by Daly, and Papke's slow roller to Maynard. The Vermont team tied the count in the following frame. Stockwell was passed, Klevenow singled, Gallagher walked, and Timberman's second single let Stockwell and Klevenow score.

Both of the moundsmen, Tracy for Dartmouth, and Hastings, for Middlebury, were it freely, the former allowing ten safeties and the latter eleven, but sharp fielding by both teams kept the contest from becoming but a question of hits. Two double plays, Maynard to Thurston, and Shaneman to Thurston, aided Captain Tracy materially, Five extra base hits, doubles by Shaneman, Seavey, and Thurston, Dagostino's triple, and Caswell's home run provided a comfortable margin for Coach Tesreau's team. The score;

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHE Dartmouth...... 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 3—6 10 2 Middlebury..... 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0—3 11 1

Dartmouth 3—Maine 0

Seven well-placed hits, including three baggers by Caswell and Maynard, put Dartmouth in front of the University of Maine for a 3 to 0 victory in the second home contest, April 29. The Green scored in the opening session on Dagostino's single, an error, a sacrifice, and a fielder's choice. A similar combination produced another tally in the next inning, Smith scoring. The final run, scored in the eighth inning, was the result of triples by Caswell and Maynard.

Maine showed little offensive strength against the pitching of Steinhilber, gathering but four safe blows throughout the session. For Dartmouth Maynard was high gun with a single, a double, and a triple in three times at bat. In addition to allowing but four hits Steinhilber struck out seven batters. The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHE Dartmouth...... 1 10 0 0 0 0 1 0—3 7 1 Maine........... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-0 4 4

Dartmouth 8—M. A. C. 4

A battling rally starting in the sixth inning and continuing until the end of the game gave Coach Tesreau's men their third consecutive home victory with Massachusetts Agricultural College on the short end of an 8 to 4 score. At the time of the revival the agriculturists were leading by a 3 to 1 score.

Dartmouth entered the scoring column in the first inning, hits by Maynard and Thurston producing one run. The Massachusetts team retaliated in the second frame a two-bagger by Moseley and Hilyard's sacrifice evening the score. In the third inning the opposing team continued, Marsham opening with a single and scoring on Cahill's triple and Cahill crossing the plate on a hit by Sargent. The visiting team was then held scoreless until the eight inning when Sargent's three-base hit was converted into a run by Collins' sacrifice fly.

Dartmouth's counter attack in the sixth inning opened with a pass to Dagostino, an error which gave Caswell a safe berth at first and advanced Steinhilber, running for Dagostino, to third base after he had taken second on a passed ball. Another error permitted Maynard to reach second following his clout, and scored Steinhilber. Thurston's single then scored Caswell and Maynard. In the seventh inning a pass to Lyon and an error resulting from an attempt to double Lyon and Dagostino, who followed him, placed two men in scoring position from Maynard's hit. A two bagger by Smith, Shaneman's sacrifice, a fielder's choice which left Lyon safe and an error which assisted Steinhilber, produced two more runs.

For Dartmouth Lyon pitched a heady and stalwart game, striking out nine men and allowing but seven hits and two passes. Kroeck, of M. A. C., was touched for but six hits, but issued five passes and was the victim of poor support in the field, his team mates making seven errors. The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHE Dartmouth...... 1 0 0 0 0 3 2 2 —8 6 0 M. A. C........ 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 1 0—4 7 7

Dartmouth 16—Wesleyan 5

The Dartmouth team hammered two Wesleyan pitchers for a total of 19 hits and 16 runs in a one-sided contest on Memorial Field, May 6. A single, a passed ball, and an error by Seavey resulted in a Wesleyan tally in the third inning. In the eighth inning a pass and two singles produced two more Wesleyan runs and another brace of visiting scores was added in the final frame by virtue of an error by Coller. The Dartmouth total was the result of a continuous and convincing hitting attack in which Coller inserted three two base hits, Thurston two and Tracy one of the same variety. Coller, with five hits in as many times at bat was the individual star of the assault, scoring four runs. Thurston, who annexed three hits, also scored four runs. Smith hit safely three times, and Dagostino, Caswell, Maynard, and Tracy each secured two hits. For Dartmouth Captain Tracy struck out four men and Aschenbach three, while the former allowed three passes and his successor two. The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHE Dartmouth.... 0 3 5 3 2 0 2 1 —16 19 4 Wesleyan...... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 2- 5 5 3

Dartmouth 6—Norwich 2

Meehan, pitching his first game for Dartmouth, effectively held the Norwich University nine in check, permitting the Green to win from the soldiers by a 6 to 2 score May 10. All but one of the Dartmouth tallies came in the fourth inning when a passed ball, four errors and three singles netted five runs. Norwich took the scoring lead in the third inning when Clark walked, Griffin singled, and Caswell's muff of Maher's high fly permitted a run. Dartmouth's scoring in the fourth session was largely due to the inability of Calvin, the Norwich pitcher, to field his position with either grace or agility. Thurston was passed and advanced to second on a passed ball. Coller reached first by the aid of a poor throw from Calvin, and was advanced when Calvin abruptly sat down in an attempt to field Smith's bunt. With the bases choked Shaneman singled, scoring Thurston and Coller, and Smith and Seavey scored on errors with Shaneman stealing home safely on Hyland's muff of Whelton's throw to catch him. A second Norwich run was scored in the eigth inning by means of passes to Sullivan and Hope and a single by Stiles. Dartmouth also added a run in this inning, Colter's single, and steal of third, after Smith's sacrifice, placing the Green second baseman in a position to profit by an error on Seavey's grounder. Though effective Meehan, for Dartmouth, was erratic, issuing seven passes, a number equal to the strike outs recorded for him and the hits recorded against him. Calvin, pitching for Norwich, was relieved by Styles, after allowing four hits and donating three passes in four innings.

The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RHK Dartmouth...... 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 1 —6 7 3 Norwich........ 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0—2 7 6

Dartmouth 9—Columbia 6

For the second time this season Coach Tesreau's Dartmouth ball team humbled Columbia when in a game featured by heavy batting and the attendance of Junior Prom guests the Green won by a score of 9 to 6, May 12. The deciding feature of the contest was Hartman's muff of Thurston's long drive with the bases filled in the seventh inning. The game was a batsman's affair from start to finish. Captain Tracy, starting on the mound for Dartmouth, was relieved in the fourth inning after registering ineffectiveness and Lyon, who relieved him, though hard hit, was given commendable support and managed to extricate himself from several bad holes. For Columbia, Wunderlich was very impressive for the first two innings but thereafter failed to mystify the Dartmouth batters and retired in favor of Barber after the seventh inning.

Columbia jumped into the lead in the third inning, a single, an error, a wild throw, and a sacrifice fly resulting in two tallies. Dartmouth's retaliation came, in the next frame, Caswell reaching first on a mishandled bunt, Maynard connecting for a home run, Thurston following with a single and Coller driving out a triple. Smith's single and a long three-baggef- by Hartman counted for Columbia in the fifth inning. But the Green continued to advance, Lyon taking first on Wunderlich's error, third, on Dagostino's single to right field, and scoring on Caswell's out at first. Thurston's single scored Dagostino. In the seventh inning the New York team scored a brace of runs, Moeschen's single and steal of second, Wunderlich's single and Smith's two-bagger netting the counters. The seventh inning produced the Dartmouth victory. Dagostino singled, Caswell was hit and Maynard walked. Thurston then cleared the bases with the long clout which Hartman muffed and Coller sacrificed him to second from where he scored on Smith's drive over second base. In the final inning Columbia annexed a futile additional run, Tedord singling to be advanced by the put outs of Smith and Hartman, and scoring when Strom hit to center field. The score:

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

Pennsylvania 4—Dartmouth 0

Dartmouth lost its first home game, May 13, before a Saturday Junior Prom attendance, when the speedy University of Pennsylvania nine, according pitcher Huntzinger adequate support, and profiting by Dartmouth miscues took a 4 to 0 score back to Philadelphia. The Pennsylvanians connecting with Steinhilber's offerings which were sweetened by faulty Dartmouth fielding scored in the first two innings while Huntzinger allowed the Green team but three scattered hits and was assisted by an infield fielding more cleanly and possessed of quicker and more accurate throwing arms than any seen on Memorial Field this year.

Goldblatt, the first Pennsylvanian to face Steinhilber, doubled almost immediately, scoring on Shaneman's foozle of Sullivan's fly. In the second inning Maher beat a mishandled ball to first and scored the first of three more runs produced by four safe and sound hits. Further Pennsylvania runs which appeared imminent in the seventh inning were choked off by good fielding. The Pennsylvanians power to drive the ball to the outfield was shown by the ten put outs credited to that department, Thurston, at first base, having opportunities for but eight. For Dartmouth Maynard, who secured five put outs and three assists in nine chances, and in addition contributed two of Dartmouth's three hits, a double and a single, was the outstanding performer. Huntzinger, who faced the Dartmouth sluggers, reached the peak of his performance when he fanned Lynch, batting for Seavey, Steinhilber, and Dagostino, one after another, in the eighth inning. Pennsylvania's infield contributed fourteen perfect plays all executed with speed and precision.

The score:

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

Dartmouth 4—Princeton 3

After a bad first inning in which poor fielding on the part of the Dartmouth team accounted for three Princeton runs, Coach Tesreau's men got behind the excellent pitching of Steinhilber and held the Tigers at bay while annexing four runs and the final decision. Field Marshall French, who was visiting Princeton, attended the game. After the first inning the Dartmouth team played steady ball and Steinhilber was accorded good support. During the afternoon he allowed but five scattered hits, all singles, struck out three men, and issued but three passes.

Dartmouth scored in its half of the first inning, again in the fifth inning, and with a rally in the sixth inning which sent Towns-end to the bench, produced two more runs. The Green batsmen amassed a total of eleven hits, with Shaneman and Heep contributing doubles and Dagostino one for three bases.

The score:

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

Freshmen 5—Yale Freshmen 4

In their first start of the season coach Sid Hazleton's freshman baseball team, obtaining a handy lead, won from the Yale freshmen, at New Haven, April 29. Edwards, who pitched for the Dartmouth youngsters, was very effective, striking out 12 men, allowing but five hits and issuing no passes. The Hanover yearlings secured a three run lead in the first inning after two men were out, Bjorkman, Harris, Montgomery, and Fox each securing hits. The Dartmouth team scored again in the fourth inning and in the seventh. Yale scored once in the fifth inning and in the seventh, and in the eighth inning added two more runs. Hodges, pitching for Yale, was wild and unsteady.

The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Freshmen...... 3 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0—5 9 4 Yale Freshmen 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 —4 5 2

Freshmen 6—Colby Academy 5

Walker, pitching for the freshmen, proved effective in the game with Colby Academy, at Hanover, May 1, and the Dartmouth yearlings won another game by a run margin, 6 to 5. The freshman scoring began in the first inning after Taylor and Bjorkman had been hit by pitched balls and Harris sacrificed. Again, in the third inning, Taylor was hit by a pitched ball and scored the second run for the freshmen on Bjorkman's double. In the sixth inning Harris tripled to left and three errors and a sacrifice fly following the hit made three runs available. The final tally was scored in the eighth inning as a result of singles by Littlefield, Walker, and Bjorkman. Walker struck out ten Colby batters and allowed but five hits. He was a trifle erratic at times, passing four men.

The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Freshmen...... 1 0 1 0 0 3 0 1 0—6 8 9 Colby ..........0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 2—5 5 5

Freshmen 5—Andover 4

The Dartmouth freshmen continued to win by a one run margin in defeating the Andover baseball team 5 to 4, at Andover, May 10. Except in the second and third innings, Walker, of the freshmen, held the Andover batters completely in check.

The score:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Freshmen....... 0 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 0—5 AndoVer....... 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0—4

Freshmen. 5—Tilton 3

Tilton Academy's baseball team fell before the assaults of freshman bats on Memorial Field, May 15. Both teams scored three runs in the first inning, giving the contest the appearance of a slugfest, but Edwards, the freshman pitcher, tightened up following this initial volley and the Tilton boys were held scoreless throughout the remainder of the afternoon. The Dartmouth yearlings added a run to their total in the second inning when Comerford scored on Bjorkman's double, and again in the sixth inning when Harris singled, was sacrificed to second by Fox, and brought home by Harris' hit.

Bjorkman's record of three hits in four times at bat was the batting feature of the game.

The score:

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