Misplays Hurt Nine as Cross Triumphs, 6-1

Fielding, which has been the strongest point of the Crimson nine, fell apart like a vintage roadster yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field, and by the time the parts were pieced together again Holy Cross took its second win from the Harvard baseball team, 0 to 1.

The usually dependable Ernie Mannino contributed four miscues from his position at third as well as two doubtful plays to lead the team in this department, but when the Crusaders didn't get on base through errors, they were teeing off for 11 hits, including a home run and a triple, on their own.

Misplays Hurt Turner

Barry Turner pitched a much finer game than the box scores show, and with some sort of support from the men around him, the result might have been different. On the basis of yesterday's showing, however, the visitors from Worcester were definitely the superior club.

Hitting also slipped back a notch for Stuffy McInnis's crew. The Crimson managed to bunch hits only once in the game to score its lone run. Wally Coulson led off the second inning with a single, moved to second on a fielder's choice, and raced home on Tom Cavanaugh's hit to center.
