SENIOR BALL TEAM TRIMS '23

YEARLING OUTFIT LOSES INITIAL CONTEST BY 10-5 SCORE.

Playing Manager A. T. Hill '20, slipping the covers off his dark horse team yesterday afternoon, revealed a ball outfit that upset the much-touted Freshman nine to the tune of 0-5. When R. J. Ladd rapped out a two-bagger in the fifth inning the Freshmen began to slip; errors and a hit followed, and before the cubs could recover, the Senior wielders had garnered four runs, leaving the score 8-5 in their favor. After that the cubs might as well have gone home, for S. H. Johnson, the slabsman for the Seniors, shut out the yearlings in the last two innings in one, two, three order.

The yearlings only once seriously threatened. In the first of the fifth two successive home runs by H. L. Pratt and C. H. Brown, an error by G. L. Van Bergen and a single by J. M. Blair gave them a temporary ascendancy of one run. Both teams slammed the pitchers mercilessly. The teams lined up as follows: 1920.  1923. Van Bergen, Hoffman, s.s.  l.f., Ross Ladd, Cary, 1b.  c.f., Pratt Hill, 3b.  3b., Browne Woods, Ward, r.f.  1b., Flint McCouch, Calligan, l.f.  r.f., Saxe Lloyd, e.  s.s., de Gersdorff Dickson, Stubbs, r.f.  2b., Dunscombe Falvey, 2b.  c., Keeler Johnson, p.  p., Blair
