On April 27th the La Porte High School base ball team was defeated by the South Bend 1 ligh School team at South I'end. by the close score of 6 to 4. The game was very ex- citing, as it was hard to tell who would be the winner until the last man was out in the ninth inning. La Porte was first at bat and made a good start, as usual. Frankenberger hit the air three times, but the South Bend third baseman muff- ed Brook’s easy grounder and threw a mile over the first baseman’s head when he did get it. The latter caught the' fever immediately after getting the ball and threw high at the third baseman to catch Brooks. The latter scored on the errors. South Bend scored twice in the second on a hit and a couple of errors and once in the third and fourth inn- ings. LaPorte added two in the fourth.

The first two men up for South Bend went out by infield plays, but the next man knocked a speedy grounder which Boh land played too long.

In a closely contested game the LaPorte High School base hall team was defeated by the Plymouth High School team at Plymouth on Saturday afternoon. May 4th, by the score of 6 to 4. The LaPorte team should have won the game, as they played equally as well as Plymouth in the field and outbatted them almost two to one. Plymouth’s team was a strong one and LaPorte knew they would have to go some to heat them. In the first inning Frankenberger singled but was caught asleep off first base by the pitcher, and tagged out by the first baseman. The next two went out and Plymouth came to bat. Two men had been retired when the third man put a little grounder to Fitzpatrick. He fielded the ball and shot it to first.
