FIRST NINE SHOWS WELL IN FULL PRACTICE GAME

With what looks more like a starting combination than any thing Coach Mahan has put together so far this year. Team A of the first baseball squad swamped Team B by a 9 to 2 score in a full nine inning practice game on Saturday afternoon. The two outfits represented what will probably be a final division with the exception of pitchers and the fact that Willard Howard '23, crack shortstop, was not in the line-up of the first nine.

R. E. Cordingly '25 did the majority of the mound honors for the first team with R. W. Puffer '26 as substitute for two innings, while A. D. Hoffman '25 stayed at catcher in the absence of A. W. Samborski '25. J. E. Toulmin '25 started in the Team B box and was relieved by J. H. Gebelcin '26 for three periods. Both Cordingly and Toulmin worked well for the first part of the game. Cordingly was particularly strong during his six innings and allowed only three scattered hits, although he sent four men to first on balls.

Team A lined up in the following order: H. E. Slayton '26 3b., G. E. Bennett '27 c.f., C. L. Todd '26 l.f., A. D. Hoffman '25 c., C. D. Coady '27 1b., J. W. Hammond '25 2b., Philip Keene '25 s.s., A. G. Rogers '26 r.f., R. E. Cordingly '25 p.
