Brown Edges Crimson Nine 3 to 2 in Curfewed Tussle

An eighth inning rally fell one run short of tying Brown University and the Crimson was consequently on the short end of a 3 to 2 count in Wednesday's game on Soldiers Field. Ted Watts, the Bruin pitcher, started hurling as if he were out to get a no-hitter, by setting the first nine men down in quick order without so much as one ball going to the outfield. The first hit given up by Watts was in the fifth inning and that to his opposing hurler, Jack Wallace.

Brown Scores on Error

Brown got its first tally in the initial frame by a now too familiar pattern. Netski got on with a base on balls, moved around to third when Don Swegan let Menard's grounder roll through his legs, and then scored when Watts dumped a hit out to left.

The run in the fifth was due entirely to Wallace's wildness. He hit two batters in a row and then heaved a wild pitch way over Herb Eckenroth's head, allowing one of the runners to score from second. The only earned run that Brown scored was pushed across the plate in the sixth.

Harvard Hits Pay-Dirt

The Stahlmen ruined Watts' hope of a shutout in the sixth inning. Chuck Roche led off with a bingle to left. The fleet-footed boy then pilfered-second and moved around to score after Don Swegan and Mel Allen ground out.

In the eighth the Crimson decided to hit the ball for a change and banged out three hits, all coming after two men were out. Swegan started the barrage by beating out a hard hit ball to deep second. Allen got hold of the ball and sent a long hit down the left field line good for two bases, the only extra-base hit of the afternoon; Roche came in to dent the plate on the hit. Wallace sent Allen to third when he got his second hit of the game, a short line drive that dropped just in front of the left fielder. Eckenroth looked at two strikes and then hit a hard ball back of second, and it looked like it was going out to center field for a hit; but the Bruin shortstop made a spectacular stop of the ball and just threw Eckenroth out at first, putting the damper on the rally.

Bad weather again prevented the game with Tufts to be played Saturday. Yesterday, Lovell General Hospital was the opposing team at Camp-Devens, and Saturday the Crimson rounds out the season when it goes down to Providence to play Brown again.
