Nine Will Meet Dartmouth, Princeton; Hoping for Split

By the time Sunday rolls in, the varsity baseball team should have parlayed a three-and-four record into four and-five for the season. Stuffy McInnis' nine meets the cream of the league, Princeton, at Soliders Field at 3:45 p.m. today, and the skim milk at Hanover tomorrow afternoon.

The Tigers, who tied Army for the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League title last year, brought a league-leading five-and-one record with them into Cambridge last night. In the Eastern loop Princeton defeated Penn, lost to a none-too-strong Columbia squad, and then toppled Navy, Army, Cornell, and Dartmouth in succession.

Ward Pitches

McInnis will gamble on top right-hander Bob Ward to hold back the Orange and Black power hitters today, and will probably start John Donelan against Dartmouth. But with the Tigers heading for Providence tomorrow to face a strong Brown nine, Princeton coach Emerson Dickson is expected to start second-best Dave Sisler (son of George and brother of Dick) today, and save ace Ray Chirurgi for Saturday. This afternoon, however, Chirurgi will be on hand for relief, if needed.

The first four men in the Princeton batting order, John Reydel, Ed Irvin, Jim Fairchild, and Captain Bill Prior are all long ball hitters. Fairchild a disappointment early in the season, has improved in the last few games. Prior has been batting over 400.

The Crimson heads north after the game to become a feature presentation of Dartmouth's Greed Key Weekend. The Indians, with the exception of outfielders John Brower (also over 400) and Jim Churchill, have not been meeting the ball steadily and have dropped a number of well-pitched ball games. Dartmouth is currently running anchor-man in the ten-team league.

Coach Eddie Jeremiah relied heavily on experienced curve-baller Frank Logan early in the season, but last year's freshman ace, Pete MacKinnon, has turned into a top sophomore prospect. Either of these two may start against Harvard at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
