The Southern Trip. Wjtfcrthe exception of the “sur prise pa;rty”" at Mercersburg the soutnernßaseball trip of the varsity squaijl proved very successful. Four games were won out of the five [played. At Mercersburg the defe4t was due to weakness at bat caused by • lack of outdoor batting practice -.against speedy pitching. However, the plucky prep school boys! must be given credit for play ing excellent ball, even though their victory ..was a.very lucky one. Aft er this initial game the following four contests at Lexington, Va., were all decisive victories for Penn State. The A. and 'M. College could not be met at Lynchburg, but instead the Williamsport Tri-State team was defeated at Lexington on the day following the Mercersburg surprise. Then Virginia Military Institute, the “West Point of the south,’’ and Washington and Lee University were, well trounced, the latter in two games. As sooh : as State’s team reached Lexington, several mornings were devoted batting practice, and the hitting iiythe four successive vic tories was.,all that could be desired; while the smoothness in fielding also increased w.iih each succeeding game. ’ ’“Boo’’ Vorhis did most of the pitching on the irip, twirling practically three games in splendid style; vjrliiFe McCleary and Lynch also displayed considerable ability in the [.box., Mitinger and Bray were troubled with stiff arms but the team to several victories./! Big crowas witnessed all the 'LeXmgton, and State's varsity had t'o; fight hard for every point gained.-" Our new outfield, in field, and catching departments all showed excellent form and strength.
