In the longest and closest game played on Soldiers Field this year, the University baseball managers eked out an 11 to 9 victory over their aides, the batboys. For 18 innings the two hurlers, R. C. Berresford '28 and "Shorty" Nagle, battled evenly, while their teammates batted their way to a 9 to 9 tie.
In the first half of the fateful nineteenth frame, Berresford, aided by the umpire, A. M. Blackburn '28, fanned the three batboys who faced him. In the second half of this inning, M. T. Freeman '30 and S. G. Hardy '29 singled successively. Manager Berresford came to bat and slammed out a circuit clout, scoring the two men on base. Umpire Blackburn called Berresford out for not touching second and third bases. Consequently, the first two men to cross the plate were the only ones to figure in the scoring column, making the final count 11 to 9 in favor of the managers.
