CRIMSON ROUTS TUFTS FOR THIRD WIN IN ROW

Overcast skies threatened to break loose last Saturday afternoon at Soldiers Field, but the only real deluge that struck was the flood of base hits that rattled off Harvard bats, as Coach Floyd Stahl's outfit took the measure of an outclassed Tufts team, 13 to 3.

In racking up his third win of the summer season, crimson fire bailer Jack Wallace paced himself well, allowing only seven hits while fanning seven men. He issued seven passes, but was in really hot water only once. This was in the ninth inning when Tufts filled the bases with none out, but managed to push across only one run.

The story of this game is the story of the fourth inning. Leading 4 to 1 as a result of sloppy Tufts fielding, the Crimson really teed off in the last of the fourth. Two were out when the fireworks started, but before the smoke had cleared eight Harvard men had crossed the plate and the ball game was salted away.

After staggering through this night marsh inning, which saw the Stablemen collect six singles, a walk, two stolen bases, and a home run, the Jumbo pitcher, Kidder, settled down and hurled two-hit ball over the last four frames. But the damage was done, and the Stahlmen had clinched their third straight victory.

Dunn Gete Three for Four

Heaviest hitter of the day was the Crimson third baseman, Morty Dunn, just up from the B-team, who collected three hits in four tries, including a tremendous three-run homer. Walt Coulson did some fancy cavorting around first base, and was hitting the ball quite hard, though usually right at the fielders.

The Crimson right fielder, Bob Capaccio, played a bang-up game despite a bandaged left hand. Wallace was very fast, but he lacked control in some spots. Alert base running paved the way for several Crimson markers. Kidder might have escaped the disastrous fourth inning with fewer runs scored against him except for a bad-hop grounder that skidded freakishly over the Tufts shortstop's head. The Jumbo dugout jockeys had quite a lot of comment for so few runs.
