Lord Jeffs' Wilson Blanks Crimson, 4-0, in 3 Hitter

Brave Amherst showed up at Soldiers Field Saturday with an unexpectedly strong batting order, unexpectedly fine fielding, and a fast, if erratic pitcher. Lefty Bill Wilson blanked the Crimson varsity, 4 to 0, on three hits.

In handing Harvard its second defeat in three games, Wilson showed he had everything but control. He struck out only three men over the route, walked five, and beaned leadoff batter Ed Foynes in the last half of the fourth inning. Foynes, fourth leading batsman in the league last season, was released from Stillman yesterday. He suffered no complications and may start against Holy Cross on Wednesday. Sophomore John Canepa replaced Foynes in center field.

Crimson pitcher John Donelan lasted an inning and two-thirds against the Lord Jeffs, and was in trouble from the outset. Russ Damon started the game with a walk and went to third on a single by Sam Crowe, who took second on the throw-in. Dick Dingley struck out and John McGrath walked to fill the bases. Then Howie Burnett hit down to second, Tom Cavanaugh flipped the ball to John White to force McGrath, and White threw the ball over Russ Johnson's head at first, allowing Damon and Crowe to score.

The Jeffs added a run in the fifth, with Spider Webb pitching, when Damon singled but was thrown out at home by Bennie Akillian on Dingley's single to left. But Dingley came all the way around on three bobbles on one play by Canepa, Russ Johnson, and Webb.
