Dartmouth 3 — Columbia 1

As the Boston Herald put it, — beating Columbia at baseball seems to be a habit of the Green this year. Timely hitting in the early innings and fast fielding in the last two when Columbia seriously threatened, brought Dartmouth out on the long end of a 3-1 victory on May 20 at South Field.

The game started off as a pitching duel between Tracy and Wunderlich. Neither team counted until the fourth, when Maynard placed Dartmouth in the scoring column by driving out a two-bagger and stealing third and home.

In the eighth Columbia filled the bases with none out and was prevented from scoring heavily only by a sensational stop by Maynard, who scooped up a hot grounder back of second, touched the bag and threw to first for a double Play, Columbia's only run resulting from the Play. In the ninth, with two men on, Steinhilber replaced Tracy and retired the Blue and White scoreless, thanks to Smith's fast fielding at third.

Dartmouth 7 — Vermont 6

A first-inning slugfest which netted five runs gave Dartmouth enough of a margin to stave off a last inning rally by the University of Vermont the game ending 7-6 in favor of the Green. The first inning rampage started when Tryon dropped Caswell's fly in center field with one out. Maynard singled, while Thurston and Coller were hit by pitched balls, forcing Caswell across the plate. A single by Smith drove in two runs, and Shaneman drove in another. The scoring ended when Smith stole home for the fifth tally.

A triple, a base on balls and a single in the ninth with one out cut down the Green's lead to three and put Dartmouth in a bad Way when Steinhilber retired in favor of Lyon. Vermont immediately scored on a sacrifice and again on a safety, but the rally fell just short of tying the score when Lyon struck out the last man.

Dartmouth s — Brown 4

Shapleigh's brilliant stop of Mitchell's hot grounder in the ninth prevented Brown from staging a last-minute rally and gave Dartmouth a 5-4 victory over the Brunonians. Lyon's effective work for the Green when the bases were crowded in the fourth frame also aided materially in holding the visitors from scoring. Both pitchers were in hot water throughout the entire game, but the inability of Dartmouth to hit in the pinches prevented them from at any time amassing a safe lead. Taking every advantage of Dartmouth's errors Brown threatened practically every inning.

Dartmouth 6 — Middlebury 3

Meehan's 15 strikeouts and allowance of but 6 hits brought Dartmouth to a 6-3 triumph over Middlebury on the Vermonters' field. From the time Dagostino knocked a two-bagger as lead-off man in the first inning until Maynard knocked a single and stole three bases in succession scoring the sixth run, Middlebury only twice solved Meehan's offerings, which helped to bring in the three runs in the fifth and sixth innings.

Dartmouth 3 — Vermont 7

After eight innings of loose ball, during which Vermont piled up seven runs, Dartmouth made a valiant attempt to overcome the lead by starting a ninth inning rally with three men on bases, but the game ended 7-3 in favor of Vermont. The Green got to Hastings for seven hits, but at no time seemed able to get beyond second base, where five runners were called out. By taking advantage of breaks and two costly errors, Vermont had the upper hand throughout the game.

Dartmouth B — Amherst 1

Pitching his first game for Dartmouth, Barker held Amherst to three scattered hits, while the Green pounded Perry for nine safeties and eight runs, winning 8-1. Mediocre fielding by both teams marred the contest, Amherst's only score resulting from three consecutive Dartmouth errors.

The Green scored first in the third, when, with one out, Barker walked, but was forced out by Dagostino, who immediately stole second. Caswell sent him home with a single, stole second and scored on an infield error. After a single by Smith in the fourth Shaneman and Heep both beat out bunts, Smith scoring on an error. A single by Caswell scored Shaneman and Heep crossed the plate on an out. Caswell opened the seventh with a homer. Maynard singled, going to third on Thurston's double. Maynard was put out at home on an attempted squeeze play, Shapleigh making first and stealing second. A single by Smith scored both runners.

Dartmouth 6 — Pennsylvania 7

Playing before a large crowd of University of Pennsylvania alumni present for the laying of the cornerstone for the new stadium at Franklin Field, Dartmouth lost its third straight game of the season to Penn by the score of 7-6. Incidentally this was the 11th straight victory for Huntzinger, the star pitcher of the Quakers.

The first three innings were wild slugfests by both teams, Penn gathering all of its runs in that time. Tracy finally relieved Steinhilber and he'd Penn at bay for the rest of the game, but Huntzinger had also settled down and allowed the Green but one more run, a tally in the eighth which brought Dartmouth one run shy of tying the score.

Dartmouth 4 — Harvard 2

Taking every advantage of Harvard's misplays, Dartmouth won the decision on Soldiers Field by a 4-2 score. Only once did the Crimson batters succeed in solving Captain Tracy's offerings, and that one time gave them their two runs. The other hits they made were scattered and went for naught.

Russell, starting off on the mound for Harvard, presented the Green with two runs in the first inning before he was relieved. Dagostino walked and went to second when Caswell sacrificed to Russell, who fell while fielding the ball, thus letting both men get on. Dagostino and Caswell executed a pretty double steal, which was not needed, for Maynard walked, filling the bases. Thurston flied out, but Dagostino scored. and Caswell crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Russell was relieved at this point and Dartmouth rested until the eighth.

Harvard's only runs came in the third, when Lincoln singled and was driven in by Gordon's home run. A single in the eighth by Dagostino, followed by a triple by Maynard put across the decisive score. The following inning the Green clinched the game when Smith getting his, base on an error, took second on a balk, went to third on a wild throw to catch him off second, and home when the third baseman missed the throw to catch him at third.

Dartmouth 6 — Williams 2

Six errors by the Purple infield coupled with seven safeties to Dartmouth's credit gave the Green the long end of a 6-2 score against Williams before a large Commencement crowd at Williamstown. Both of Williams' runs came in the first two innings with Steinhilber in the box. Lyon replaced him in the third and held the Purple at bay the rest of the game.

Dartmouth 10 — Rensselaer 2

Dartmouth defeated Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 10-2 in a slow one-sided game marked by heavy hitting and poor fielding. Caswell and Smith starred at the bat. A sprained ankle sustained in the sixth inning while sliding into second base forced Dagostino to retire from playing for the remainder of the season.

Dartmouth 9 — Brown 4

Six runs in one inning was too much for Brown to overcome, Dartmouth taking its second game from the Providence team 9-4. Barrett held the Green in check until the fourth when he started off by passing three men. A triple by Maynard and singles by Caswell, Thurston and Shaneman brought in the six tallies. A drive to center field in the sixth by Shapleigh brought in two more runs. Dartmouth scored again in the eighth as a result of two hits and a sacrifice.

Aschenbach went well on the mound until the seventh, when he retired in favor of Steinhilber, who pulled out safely with two on and none out. In the eighth he was replaced by Tracy after passing three men and allowing a score on a wild pitch.

Dartmouth 3 — Cornell 4

One bad inning for Tracy, pitching his last game for the Green, gave Cornell a 4-3 victory over Dartmouth in the annual Commencement game in Hanover. The game was played on a soggy diamond and was called at the end of 8½ innings to allow Cornell to catch a train for Ithaca.

Except for the first part of the sixth inning Tracy pitched airtight ball, striking out 10 men and allowing but five scattered hits. In the sixth with one out Cornell amassed four runs as a result of a pass, a triple, another pass, a wild throw by Heep, a brace of singles and a double. With three men still on Tracy then pulled himself together and fanned the next batter, the third going out on an infield hit.
