JAYNE STARTS NIGHTCAP
Joe Jayne started the nightcap, but was relieved by Bruce after an error, Nevitt's hit, and three walks had accounted for two runs. Bruce allowed two more runs before retiring the Tigers. Dartmouth got back two runs in its half of the first and tied the score with two more in the fourth. The next three innings were scoreless, with Princeton settling the issue in the first of the eighth. Dick Bell, on the mound for the Tigers, did not allow a Dartmouth batter to reach first after the fourth-inning uprising, and gave out only four hits in all. May 16 was an unlucky day for the Indians, Columbia taking both ends of a double-header, 5-3 and 5-8, at Morningside Heights. A 1 Barabas was a thorn in Dartmouth's side all afternoon, getting five hits and three walks in eight trips to the plate, and scoring or batting in four runs in the opener and two in the second game. Poor base-running and lack of timely hitting figured in the Green defeats, 17 men being left on bases and four getting picked off.
Olson was the victim of Barabas' storybook homer in the first game. With Dartmouth leading 3 to 2, the Columbia star clouted the ball over the fence in the ninth to send in three runs. The Indians' three runs came in the second, on two walks, two hits, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice bunt. Casey and Allen walked, Ray advanced them with a bunt, and both scored on Jenkins' single. Jenkins advanced to third on Olson's infield out and a wild pitch, and scored on Pounder's hit. Outside of the seventh-inning drama, Olson had little difficulty with the Lions. ,
Bruce started on the mound in the second game and yielded two runs in the first inning. Dartmouth got one run back on Allen's homer in the second, and things went along closely until the seventh, when Barabas figured in three more runs for the Lions. Ben Lane relieved Bruce in this bad inning, and one Dartmouth run in the second half of the frame was insufficient to give him credit for the game.
Harvard suffered its first league defeat at Hanover by an 8-6 score on May ao. Bill Hart's Texas-Leaguer double with the bases loaded broke up the ball game in the eighth, and Ted Olson received credit for his fourth league triumph although he was removed in the eighth for a pinch-hitter. After the lead had see-sawed about for seven innings, Harvard came to bat in the eighth on the short end of a 5-3 score. A walk, a hit batter, a wild pitch, and Sullivan's long triple sent in three runs to put the Crimson ahead. Four passes by Ingalls forced across the tying run for Dartmouth, and Hart's double sent in the added pair that settled the contest. By turning Bilodeau's sharp infield drive into an unassisted double play, Ratajczak pulled Bruce out of a tough spot in Harvard's half of the ninth.
Ted Bruce returned to the mound in the game with Penn at Hanover on May 22, and won his first league victory, 9 to 2. Red Pounder's homer with two on in the first inning started the assault which was continued in the second inning for three more runs. In the second, Ray and Jenkins walked, advanced on Bruce's sacrifice bunt, and scored on Clark's line double to left. Clark came in on Ratajczak's single. Dartmouth's third trio of runs came in the sixth, when the bases were loaded on walks and an error. Bruce singled to deep center, scoring Allen and Ray, and Jenkins also counted when the ball got away from the third baseman. Penn outhit Dartmouth, 9 to 8, but Bruce was at his best with men on the bases.
