BALL TEAM'S CHANCES GOOD IN SPITE OF ELEVEN DEFEATS

Although credited with two less hits, the Brown nine defeated the University 5-2 at Providence on May 30. Poor field

ing was the main cause of the Crimson's defeat, as only two of the home nine's runs were earned, the others being scored as the result of the University's seven errors.

On June 4, Brown took the second game from the University by a score of 6-2 at Soldiers Field. Many mistakes in fielding by the infield, combined with inability to hit in the pinches, gave the visitors the game. The University nine held the visitors for six innings, but were powerless against the Providence attack in the last third of the contest. Hardell pitched well for six innings, and the three men who went on the mound after he was removed were ineffective.

In a pitchers' battle between Felton and Gill, Holy Cross won its second victory over the University nine at Worcester on June 7. The score was 2-0, and only one Crimson runner reached third base.

By scoring an 8-0 victory over Princeton at Brooklyn on June 11, the University nine won the deciding contest of the three game series with Princeton. Felton let the Orange and Black down with 2 hits and in addition drove in four runs by two hits and in addition drove in four runs by two hits and a sacrifice fly.
