TIGHT FIELDING OF NO AVAIL TO LAMPOONERS

SOLDIERS FIELD, May 11.--In the most spirited baseball game yet played this season on Soldiers Field the CRIMSON nine, last year runners-up for the World Championship, today completely subdued the muck-raking band of players which purported to be the ball team of the Harvard Lampoon. The final score was 23 (approximately) to 2. Four members of the Lampoon team were forced to retire from the field after the first inning owing to the excessive heat of the day and their own poor physical condition. Their positions were taken by ringers from an East Boston aggregation, each of these men being paid $100 by Lampy. After the contest the entire Lampoon team passed out in its Tally-ho at the Stadium gates, a jeering mob following it to Harvard Square.

The Crimson cohorts were superior in every department of the game, the base-running of the journalists being specially brilliant. Time and again the daily's men charged through the lines of Ibis, fighting off tacklers every inch of the way, and finally reaching second or third base leaving a trail of fallen punsters behind.

A crowd of some 3,000 persons saw the great CRIMSON hitting test in the fifth inning when six homers completely broke the few remaining spirits of Lampy. The red ink battery was composed of Whidden and Lamont; the larksters' of Bob and Baldwin. Wheeler at first starred for Lampy with some of the tightest fielding seen this year in baseball circles.
