• AS YOU LIKE IT. led and doubled to Karidan, but lie failed to keep Gardener from scoring. Jack Randan, second baseman, came to bat first for the high school. He stood easily at the plate, and as the first ball, a wide out, came up. he did not even change his position. The second time he barely touched the ball so that it rolled slowly down the line toward third base. The pitcher and third baseman collided in fielding the ball and Karidan sprinted safely to first base. Big Will Parker came up second and fanned. Next. Quinn knocked an easy grounder to the lirst baseman. Then Harry Basset knocked a long fly. which the -enter fielder caught, retiring the side with Karidan on third. The College made two more scores in the second inning and shut the High School out until the sixth, when Karidan and Quinn both scored on Sexon's long hit. At the end of the eighth inning, the College was still one score ahead. It was the ninth inning and the last turn at bat for the College. The rooters centered all of their energies on Porter who pitched like mad. Marx came up and was retired with four throws. Davis knocked a swift grounder to the short stop and » as easily put out at first. Boyer was next and was hit by the ball, giving him lirst base. Then Williams made a safe hit and advanced Boyer to third. Brown came to the plate. The College rooters called for a home run. He hit the first ball and knocked a liner, that all tliot was going over the head of the short stop, but Smith jumped and made a one handed catch, retiring the side without their scoring. The rooters continued to cheer Smith when he came to bat. Long, the College pitcher, seemed a little nervous and the first two balls went wide but George reached over and knocked a swift bounder between second and first base. Connor was excited and tried to hit too hard and consequently fanned. Smith tried to steal second, but was put out. Next came Karidan. The rooters cheered and encouraged him. He struck hard at the first bail, then knocked a long foul, but at last bunted and ran it out easily. Will Parker came to bat while the rooters were deadly silent, because Will had already chopped out twice. Long delivered a slow ball. Parker swung fiercely on it but only fouled. The second ball came like the wind but Will swung squarely on it. The bat cracked like a “K,rag-Jorgenson . Cen-terfieldcr Way knew what that meant and started to run. but the ball flew safely over his head. The rooters held their breath until they saw that the hit was good and then the roar that burst forth was like the boom of a thirteen inch cannon. They cheered until Parker slid safely home, winning th-: game by one score. Miss Lonn (in Junior debate) ••Thurle, whose s de are you going to take? Thurle—“I'll take Elizabeth’s.

The tardy l ell began to ring at the Darlington High School on a bright April morning, reminding the boys who were busily engaged in baseball practice of the graver tasks of the day — hardly of the day this time as school was to l»e dismissed in the afternoon on account of the base ball game between the High School and the College. Hoy Quinn, the little center fielder, called for one more fly. which he caught with ease and then ran hastily towards the school house. He rushed upstairs and was finally seated in the assembly room. All became quiet and attentive as the principal tapped his bell and called their attention to the following notice posted on the blackboard: NOTICK—BASE HALL! H. S. vsCOLLKC.K 2:30 P. M. Afterwards lie announced the dismissal of school in the afternoon and asked the members of the school to return at half past one in order to attend the game in a Inxly. At one o clock. Jack Raridan. the High School captain, dressed in his base ball suit, hastened across the school grounds, carrying a banner of Yale blue and old gold. He met Hugh Campbell, the leader of the rooters, armed with a large mega-phone and a still larger banner. ••Hello Hughy! Arc you ready? he shouted. ‘•My voice is certainly in prime condition for yelling. answered Hugh. Well, you want to give it to them hard. ••You can count on me. ••Here comes the rest of the crowd. Get your rooters lined up and I'll tend to the team. They marched to the college as follows: First the team, then the rooters and lastly the members of the Girls’ Athletic club. They hail just reached the college campus, when they heard: ••Lic-a-Lac-a-Li-Lac! Crc-Cri-Crum! Darlington College! Rum! Hum! Rum! After the High School was well settled on the bleachers, at the right side of the grounds, they sang out to the motion of Hugh’s pennant: ••Hic-Hac-Kic-o-Rack! Ric-ro-Rakc! Darlington High School, takes the cake! The College team was already warming up out on the diamond and their practice was good except that they seemed a little hurried. Hut as the men seemed worried and lacked confidence, the High School put up rather jss»r practice. The High School team kept its position on the field as the umpire walked into the center of the diamond and called: “Play Ball! Gardener, center field, was the first man up for the college. Joe Porter, pitcher for the High School stood calmly in the box. He was l are-licadcd with his long, black hair disordered by the wind, while his tall, lithe body reminded one of the native warriors «»f our western plains. He was a little wild at first and gave Gardener a base on balls. Next. Jones, the short stop, went out on an infield flv. Way hit for two bases and advanced Gardener to third base.
