Finale

The end came Saturday, literally or otherwise, to three phases of College baseball. 'The Freshman and Jayvee niues played their traditional matches with Yale and closed shop for the season. But for the Varsity, if they are once more to gain first place in the Ivy League, their work is just the beginning, after a couple of pitchers, a few bad breaks, and two runs that never materialized dumped them unceremoniously from the undefeated ranks in Eastern Intercollegiate baseball, and from first to fourth place in the League.

In commenting on the Princeton game, which the Varsity dropped 1 to 0 on Saturday afternoon, the Tiger coach cited as the turning point of the contest Bill Hamlen's tremendous fourth Inning drive to left field with two on and two out, on which the left fielder made a great catch after a long run. "It was one of the longest hits I've seen all year, "said Dolph Samborski last night, "and would certainly have made the score 3 to 1 in our favour if it hadn't been caught."

About the morning's 3 to 2 loss to Penn, Dolph said, "They definitely gave us more than we gave them. "Quaker pitcher Bill McCunney allowed only five hits but gave up eight bases on balls, to Jack Wallace's eight hits--two of the scratchy variety--and one walk.

We couldn't have asked for better pitching, "said the coach. "Both Wallace and Reilley pitched wonderful ball games. Of course, we'll have another crack at Princeton this Saturday up here in Cambridge."

Here Saturday on the Freshman diamond, there was only one major miscalculation in an otherwise tight ball game. With two down in the seventh, an Ell runner in an second, and the Crimson ahead 3 to 2, a conference between pitcher Johnny Hansen, Coach Moe Berg, and catcher Frank Crosby decided that it was the better part of something to walk second baseman Tippet for a crack at Nadherny. The Bull tagged the first pitch to deep right-center for a line triple and the ball game. According to Crosby, Tippet was a great hitter at Andover.

Jayvee coach Lloyd Harper alone among the College's diamond mentors can be completely satisfied with his weekend decisions. His mound choice, Landon Clay, hurled a four-hitter, started two double plays, and clouted a home run to aid in his 12 to 3 victory over the Elis. At the same time, hitless catcher George Strout reverted to an old diamond cure for blindness. He switched over to the left side of the plate and knocked out a single and a double in three trips.
