UML Pnbzf, Plclzm, Hum, Hlwdu, U ' Hama 77-0 Weird fielding by the Rhodes infield and superb pitching by Fred Hahn, West Point Plebe hurler, contrived to ruin the opening game for the Rhodes ball team, as the Plebes blanked Rhodes 11-O, Wednesday, April 20, at the Academyis North Field. With Hahn hurling a one hitter during the abbreviated seven inning game, the Rhodes nine fell behind in the first inning and never threatened except during the seventh, when Hahn tired and loaded the bases on three walks. The Plebes touched Sidney Silver, Frank De Stefano's opening day choice for four hits in the first frame, and combined with three walks and two costly errors they were converted into the first five runs, which sewed up the game. Not satisfied with these counters the Plebes scored four more runs in the fourth inning and two additional markers in the sixth, with the four runs coming in after two were out, and because a wild throw to second by Nicolicchia in an attempt to catch Gus Ritter stealing second, opened the gates. In the meantime, Hahn hurled excellently during the first six innings, facing 21 men, three above par, and allowing only one hit, a single to center field, by Paul De Savino, Rhodes third sacker. Going into the seventh he weakened after Cashman skied out to Whipple in center field and walked Fralick, Woullfe and Toorock in succession. With the bases loaded though, Hahn recovered his steady form and struck out Nicholic- chia and made Silver pop to second baseman Ray Tanguy, for the game ending out. DIAMOND DUST: Even though he absorbed the loss Sidney Silver must get credit for hurling a fine game, the complexion of which might have been altogether different if not for the sloppy infield play by his mates. Of the nine hits charged against him many were questionable, excluding Fitzpatrick's booming double to right in the first and Bailey's screaming three bagger into left field during the sixth inning.
