ALTHOUGH our base ball team won her first game at home it
is with sorrow we must record the loss of three out of four
of the next four games played, all of which were played away
from home. The boys of the team on the whole being thoroughly
dissatisfied with the scores and playing during their trip. Had it
not been for the inevitable errors which usually appear when least
wanted, our boys would have come back victors rather than the
conquered.
Most of the errors were caused by too loose joints in the throw
ing arms of the boys, allowing too free action of thoSe members
causing the ball to soar when by having a little more tension the
results would have been more satisfactory. Many of the wild
throws were perhaps made because of the great anxiousness to do
good work. Aside from the bad throwing to bases the game put
up by the boys was fair. The treatment of the boys as they
say was not all that could be desired except at U. of P.
The first fall was taken out of the the team at Selinsgrove by
the opponents of the previous Monday, Susquehanna University.
Then the team journeyed on to Philadelphia where they en
deavored to take a tumble out of the U. of P., but something was
lacking. Next they journeyed out on to the hillsides of Myers :
town where they succeeded in avenging their wrongs upon
Albright College, now to Carlisle they wended their way but only
to meet defeat again at the hands of the Dickinson team. The
scores made upon the trip were as follows:
