Cornell s—Dartmouth 4

Starting scoring in the first inning with two runs, and adding in both the fourth and fifth sessions, Cornell paved the way for a victory over the Dartmouth team at the end of the Green outfit's disastrous trip at Ithaca, May 19.

Dartmouth scored in the fifth inning when Shapleigh's single sent Heep across the plate, and Shaneman hit to Bickley who threw wild, allowing Shapleigh to score from second base. Two more Dartmouth runs were added and the score tied in the seventh inning when Heep singled and advanced on Shapleigh's hit, Lyon drew a pass which filled the bases, and Dagostion hit sharply to left field, scoring Heep and Shapleigh.

In the ninth inning with Franz on third, Capron, who has done things to Dartmouth in a basketball way, ended the contest with a hit over Bjorkman's head for the winning run of the game.

Dartmouth B—Vermont 7

In a spectacular eleven inning game on Memorial Field, May 23, Dartmouth took the measure of Vermont, 8 to 7, overcoming a formidable lead and winning after having twice thrown the game, to all intents and purposes, down the drainage system and into Mink Brook.

Vermont started the afternoon with eclat and ferocity and a handful of other things, driving Dunlevy from the mound amid a barrage of safe hits before Steinhilber could be rushed to the helm. Five runs were scored while Dunlevy remained as a target for Vermont bats and a sixth was scored after his demise when Ready knocked Steinhilber loose from a two base hit and counted Duba.

The scorers then remained inactive until the sixth inning when Harris, of Dartmouth, poled a long three base hit into deep center field and cantered home on Bjorkman's scratch hit to Durgin. In the eighth inning the Dartmouth murderer's row started the team off on a five run rally which tied the score. Caswell clouted a home run far out beyond right field. Thurston singled and advanced on an error which gave Harris a position on first base. Duba's fumble of a swift grounder by Bjorkman then filled the bases. Smith then singled, scoring Thurston and Harris. Bjorkman taking third and Smith second on the throw to the plate. Heep was hit by Newton and the bases were again booked solid. Shapleigh scored Bjorkman with a sacrifice fly and Smith scored when Heep drew a throw from Ready on a delayed double steal.

Two more Dartmouth pitchers then took turns at the mound, Edwards replacing Steinhilder and Barker taking Edwards' place. In the tenth inning Bjorkman, after swiping a long three base hit into center field, was nipped at the plate when poor coaching at third base allowed him to try to stretch the hit to a home run. Vermont then bid for the game in the first frame of the 11th, Conlin singling and scoring on a three base hit by Burns. But the Dartmouth array seemed anxious for the game and in the Green half of the second extra chapter with two men on bases Harris poked out a two base hit for the decision.

Dartmouth 7—Brown 3

Lyons pitched a beautiful game on Memorial Field, May 27, when Brown was sent back to Providence with the short end of a 7 to 3 score. Scoring did not begin until the fourth inning. Then passes to Harris and Bjorkman, and singles by Heep, Smith, and Shapleigh, accounted for four runs. Another Dartmouth trick was added in the fifth inning when Bjorkman went from first to third on a single by Smith and came home on a delayed steal. Harris scored in the seventh inning, when with the bases full Heep popped up an infield fly, and Lyon completed the counting by a two base hit, following which he took third on a hit by Dagostino and scored when Leddy, pitching for Brown, threw wild to the plate.

Brown's tallies came in the seventh inning when Lyon weakened and allowed three hits, which combined with an error by Ward accounted the trio of runs.

Dartmouth I—Vermont 0

Lyon added another game to the string of Dartmouth victories when he pitched a near perfect game before a huge Memorial Day crowd at Burlington. Both teams made several bids for scores all save one of which were cut down by fast playing. Both teams were held well in check by the pitchers, Newton and Kirwin, for Vermont, allowing Dartmouth but five hits, while Lyon was touched by the Burlington batters for but three.

Dartmouth's lone run came in the eighth inning when Dagostino scored Shapleigh by means of a sacrifice fly to Eastburn.

Dartmouth 11—Tufts 10

A two base hit by Austin, pinch-hitting for Meehan in the ninth inning, gave Dartmouth the edge on Tufts at Memorial Field, June 8. The game was featured by heavy hitting throughout, Dartmouth amassing a total of 13 hits, while the Medford collegians gathered nine. Caswell, the Dartmouth slugger, with two singles, a triple, and a home run in four times at bat, had the clouting honors for the day.

Dartmouth 17—Harvard 15

Following an eleven day period of inactivity due to examinations the Green team journeyed to Cambridge to take its annual win from Harvard, this time by the narrow margin of two runs in a slugging contest which netted a round total of 33 tallies. The Hanover team piled up what appeared to be an insurmountable lead of 12 runs during the first five innings of the game but were forced to the limit to win when prodigious Harvard rallies accounted for an equal number of runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings. The winning runs for the Hanover team came in the seventh inning. Coach Slattery, of Harvard, used his entire pitching staff with the addition of first baseman George Owen, on the mound at various times in a vain endeavor to break the age-old jinx, which has given the Crimson but one baseball victory over Dartmouth in the past 17 years.

At the bat Captain Smith of Dartmouth led the Hanover team, with four hits, one a triple, in as many times at bat. Bjorkman registered three hits in four attempts and scored five of the Dartmouth runs.

Dartmouth 7—Tufts 3

Nine errors by Tufts fielders gave Dart- mouth a 7 to 3 victory at Medford, June 15.

Captain Smith again had a big day at bat and in the field, with three safe blows in four trips to the plate, three stolen bases, one of home on a delayed double steal, and in the field a record of six clean assists. Dagostino poled a long double for Dartmouth's only extra base hit.

Brown 3—Dartmouth 2

A hard fought game featured by sharp fielding on the part of both teams, went to Brown, June 16, when a ninth inning rally gave Brown the margin, 3 to 2. Dartmouth's runs came in the third inning and in the ninth. In the earlier session Heep doubled, advanced on a passed ball and scored on Shapleigh's drive to center. A Brown run was chalked up in the sixth inning. In the final chapter the Green team surged ahead the score when Thurston tripled and scored on a single by Bjorkman. But the Providence players squeezed out a win. Hoffman singled and was held at first when Wilson flied to short. Duggan, batting for Cole, singled and advanced Hoffman to third. A double by Ruckstall scored Hoffman and Duggan. Blake, pitching his last game for Dartmouth, did well and hit safely twice in three trips to the plate. Shapleigh led the Green infield with three put outs and five assists, figuring in three of Dartmouth's four double plays. For Brown, Ruckstall, a freshman star, played a sensational game, accepting eight difficult chances without an error.

Dartmouth 2—Cornell 1

A ninth inning rally by Cornell failed by inches to overcome a two run lead established by Dartmouth early in the game and gave the Green team a victory in its last home appearance on Alumni Day, June 18. Lyon, supported by errorless fielding, appeared to advantage in his last start for Dartmouth, and though giving eleven hits was never in danger until the final frame when he weakened and gave two hits and two passes before Barker relieved him.

Dartmouth scored in both the second and third innings. In the first of these chapters Smith singled, stole second, and scored on Heep's drive after two were out. In the third inning Dagostino singled, but was forced by Ward, who stole second, and scored on Thurston's long hit into right field.

Harvard 11—Freshmen 10

The younger Dartmouth ball team fell just short of accomplishing the varsity's annual feat in winning from Harvard, and was beaten out in the last half of a twelve inning game at Cambridge, May 23. The Green team totalled 18 hits to the Crimson's 12, but eight errors in the field over-balanced this hitting superiority. Scoring was done in every inning except the fourth and the eighth until the totals were even and both teams went blank in the tenth and eleventh frames. In the twelfth inning, the Cambridge freshmen scored four runs in their half and the Hanover team was unable to make the grade, falling short after adding thre runs, for a total of 10 for the game.
