NINE VICTORS IN EASY GAME

The informal University baseball team continued its series of wins by defeating the Naval Reserves from Commonwealth Pier yesterday by the decisive score of 7 to 2. Three runs in the third inning gave the informals a lead, which the sailors could not overcome. The features of the game were the ability of the University team to hit when hits meant runs, and the small total of three hits, which the Reserves could get from the tight pitching of H. M. Erb, '20. For six innings not a sailor made a safe hit, and at no time were they allowed more than one an inning.

The University players started scoring in the first inning. On an error, L. B. Evans '20, reached second base, and scored on a sacrifice hit, followed by a single by L. P. Jones '19. Again in the third inning, Jones led off with his second single, and before the inning was over three runs had come in through three singles, a stolen base, and an error.

Only 22 of the Reserves raced Erb in the first seven innings. The eighth inning brought their second run on a single by McGrove and a succession of put-outs.

In the last half of the sixth the informals increased their score to 7 by excellent stick work and a brilliant display of base running. J. B. Wolverton '20 led off with a single and then stole second. Evans knocked a long fly to center field which Larkin dropped. An error by shortstop brought Wolverton home and placed Evans on third. H. C. Ward '20 singled, and he and Evans scored by means of a hit, a fielder's choice, and a sacrifice fly.

Jones was easily the leading batsman with three singles to his credit on four trips to the plate.
