Tie-Weary Freshman Baseball Team Gets Second Try Today Against B.U.

Four ties, one loss, and only one victory is hardly an impressive record to flaunt before any Boston University baseball team, but that's the slate Moe Berg's Freshman nine carries with it to Riverside's Nickerson Field this afternoon when it faces the Terriers in a return engagement.

When the two clubs met earlier in the season on Soldiers Field, they each scored seven runs, the game was called at the end of eight innings because of darkness, and the Yardlings, pulled out their second straight draw.

Saturday, at Exeter, the Freshmen came up with their first triumph of the season, a 4-3 victory over the prep schoolers, but neither team scored an earned run and both were guilty of sloppy playing. George Emmons handled pitching duties, so it will be Jim Gabler, former Exeter twirler, or Roy Meears going against the Pups this afternoon.

Gabler has not started since the Freshman-Jayvee opener, although he has seen action in relief roles since. Meears has shone in relief assignments and, in his debut as a starter against Brown last week, he held the Cubs to two hits and a run in a brilliant, 11-inning mound stint.
