6 THE ORACLE. P. JH. S.; 43 Morris H. S., 0. Our baseball team scored its third shut-out on April 29, by defeating the Morris H. S. nine. It was a light-hitting game, and was well played in spite of the rain, which fell during the latter part of the morning. Our team made four h its and one error, to one hit and two errors for our opponents. Smith pitched a fine game, striking out eleven men, and it was because of their inability to hit that we whitewashed them.

Three hits and twenty errors for Leal’s tells the whole sad story. For the first few innings it seemed as if the game would be close, for after we had scored a run, Leal’s scored also, their first and only run, by a base on balls and a hit. But in the third inning the merry-go-round started, and by the ending of the fifth inning the score was 15 to 1. But worse things were to follow. Jewett was taken out of the box and Browne was substituted, and in the sixth inning alone our boys scored eleven runs. Burt pitched the first five innings and did fine work, allowing only three hits. Smith pitched the rest of the game and struck out three of the six men who faced him. Our other players also played excellent ball, and not a single error was scored against us, while Leal’s seemed to be “stage-struck,”’ for they made errors in nearly every case where an error could possibly be made. They certainly gave the poorest exhibition of baseball that has been seen here this season.

Our baseball team administered a coat of white-wash to the Cranford team, at Cranford, on May 6. Smith was in fine form, and did not allow a single hit, nor did he give a single base on balls. Our boys batted like vet- erans, making hits whenever they were necessary, and securing in all 15 hits from Bareus’ delivery. Bargus puzzled our batters once in a while, getting eight strike outs. Smith struck out Io men. Our team played a steady game, and made only two mishaps.
