.played they may continue to bring the Blue and After several postponements from early in the season, the much talked of Lafayette game took place, but came to an untimely finish in the Hfth. The score was 2 to 2, and there was aman on first and second when Mahoney came to bat and made a drive toleft. Koch scored, Eschrich went to third, Mahoney landing on second. Lafayette's ca.ptain claimed the ball was foul, but the umpire had ca.lled it fair. 'Lafayette refused to abide by the decision and left the field. The game went to Canisius 9 to- 0. Lafayette had scored their two runs mostly by chance. They had secured but two hits, while the Varsity had six, three coming successively in the fifth. Vlith men 'on second and third and Blaum at the ba.t things naturally looked gloomy for Lafayette. Everyone regretted that the contest did not continue, but they may be satisfied before the end of the season, as these same teams will probably meet on neutral grounds. The team suffered quite a loss in the Lafayette game, when they lo-st the ser- vices of .loseph'Helminiak. J oe was the irst man up for the 'Va.rsity, and was prostrated by one of ,Nash's shoots, receiving it on the head. He was conveyed to the clubhouse, where he revived. Later on he was taken home and is now doing nicely. T A double-header had been arranged for Decoration Day with the Lawyers' Club and the 19th Centuries, butowing to- unforeseen circumstances the after- noon game was cancelled. A -The 'Varsity put up a good game in the morning and showed consider- able implrovement in their work with the stick. The result was 15 to 5. The score stood 4 to O in favor of the 'Varsity until the fifth, whenthe Lawyers with three of their four hits, coupled with errors, secured four runs, tieing the score. The ' Varsity, no-t to be outdone, scored three in their half of the fifth, on singles by Blaum and Brand, a base on balls to Ronan a.nd a triple by Ma- honey. Though this-put the game on ice, the 'Varsity added to its lead by scoring in every inning. lVith the exception of the one game lost to I . iiift . ' ' Masten, the 'Varsity has a clean slate, and it is earnestly hoped that in the games still to be Gold on top. The team extends its thanks to Father hfur- phy, who, assisted by Andrew Ronan, filled out a good schedule, securing the best teams avail- able under the circumstances, and to Father Mahoney for his able and valuable coaching, which, as the record shows, aided the team won- derfully. Q This season, no doubt, has been one of the best in baseball for several years, the team easily keeping up to the standard and uphold- ing the prestige of former years. ' 39 '

The Muse to me in sleep Did deign a fitful peep, Of ,future baseball stars. f,Eight teams they had on Ma In little old New York, rs.D E'er 'ruled by men from Cork, Their team was on the blink, And would you ever think V To tindjamong them there This well-known, 'loved pair, Big Ed, in catcher's niche, And Sunny Jim to pitv,!1'! The game I saw they Wong For Ed he weighed a ton, And getting to the plate- They never tempted fate. To strike them out was pie, But Jim, the fox, was slyg For now and then he balked- The batter gladly walked. Around to third. by grace Of Jim the runner'd race, But never, never, no, 'Gainst Ed he'd dare to go. The strike-outs? Twenty-seven! The hits? Oh, they're in heaven. Those hits of Ed's, those fourll Ye Gods, hovq they did soar! They're going yet, I Ween, And yet in twenty 'steen, Three bunts were made by Jim. And then around he'd skim, On second base he'd stand Before the ball would land, And when the ball was tossed In cloud of dust he's lost. Home-plate appears. What now? Jim's past and making bow.
