BASEBALL

Dartmouth 6 Yale 4

Superior fielding enabled Dartmouth to defeat Yale 6-4 at New Haven May 20. Although outhit the Green nine was able to bunch its bingles and combine them with Eh errors to produce a win for Charley Comerford whose excellent control fooled the Blue batsmen in all but two innings. Pond and Lovejoy pitched for Yale.

Dartmouth 16 Wesleyan 0

On May 21 in the second game of a fourgame trip, Dartmouth's sluggers enjoyed battin practice at the expense of the Wesleyan pitchers. Nineteen Green hits, including home runs by Bjorkman and Michelim, netted the Hanoverians 16 runs. Edwards, however, was in fine form, allowing but three safe hits, and received errorless support.

Dartmouth 11 N. Y. A. C. 6

The following day the varsity added the New York Athletic Club nine to its victims by an 11 to 6 score. Bjorkman and Carver pitched for the Green with Steele behind the bat.

Penn 11 Dartmouth 3 Disaster attended the close of the four-day trip however, when Penn walloped Tesreau s men 11-3 in Philadelphia May 23. Fleet started but was touched for four runs in the first inning; Edwards took up the assignment but was hardly more effective; in the seventh he yielded to Comer ford who allowed but one hit in the last two innings.

The team played without Captain Bjorkman who had been taken ill in New York after the N.Y.A.C. game. This defeat created a tie between Dartmouth and Penn- for first place in the recently formed quadrangular league.

Dartmouth 2 Vermont 0

Rain ended the first game with Vermont played on Memorial Field May 27 in the sixth inning but previous to that time Frell w had made a home run in the fourth inning, Dartmouth's first hit, and Michelim s single and Picken's triple had shoved over another tally in the fifth. Edwards allowed three hits but was never in danger. Captain Bjorkman did not play.

Dartmouth 7 Vermont 4

The three innings which were not played in the Vermont game at Hanover were added to the game played at Burlington the following" Saturday, Memorial Day. It took twelve innings for Dartmouth to get itself on the long end of a 7-4 score. A shower and hail storm interrupted the game for 30 minutes in the seventh inning.

Comerford started but encountered trouble at once. After three runs had come in, Edwards took command of the situation. The Green evened the score in the fourth when Michelini's single brought in Hudgins and Elliott and a squeeze play scored Harris. Each team tallied once in the ninth. In the twelfth Picken's triple, Owl's single and Hudgins' double accounted for the winning runs.

Dartmouth 7 Norwich 4

Until the fourth inning the game with Norwich played on Memorial Field June 1 was rather quiet. In that session the Cadets scored two runs with two singles and a triple. Two of these bingles went into center field covered by Harry Dey who, as Dartmouth s first man at bat in the same inning, tripled to right starting a little batting rally which netted six runs. Gibson started on the mound for the Green but was relieved by Carver toward the end of the game.

Dartmouth 8 Bates 3

Bates was defeated 8-3 in a slow game at anover June 4. Owl's home run in the fifth started the scoring. Fleet was effective in the Pinches and allowed but four hits.

Dartmouth 7 Cornell 4

Cornell came to Hanover June 17 and watched a fighting Dartmouth team come form behind and win 7 to 4. Edwards started for the Hanoverians but was not in his best favor of comerford. In the fifth nning with Cornell four runs ahead Michelini drove the ball to deep center for a home run and after the next two men had been retired was imitated by Owl who thus cut the Ithacan advantage to two runs.

In the sixth singles by Elliott, Harris and Picken, an error and a nicely executed delayed steal put the Green in the van and two more runs in Dartmouth's eighth left no doubt as to the outcome. This victory put Dartmouth in second place in the quadrangular league having won four and lost one while Pennsylvania, the pennant winner, had won five and lost one. Dartmouth was the only team to defeat Penn and Penn the only team to defeat Dartmouth. Dartmouth played one less game because of the cancelled contest with Columbia, a team which Dartmouth had already beaten.

Dartmouth 5 Williams 0

At the Williams commencement exercises Dartmouth defeated Williams 5-0, Edwards allowing but three hits and but one Purple man reaching second. Edwards also started the Green scoring with a long triple.

This was Dartmouth's last intercollegiate game this year. Tesreau's. men won 23 of their 28 starts, losing only to and Holy Cross during the regular season.
