Oak� Dale, a preparatory school, is to play Kent,a college about fif¬ teen miles distant. This is the third game of a three game se¬ ries, each team having won one game. Kent —j ' uired the first by a 1-0 score,Oak Dale the second, 2 1. The umpire steps out into the diamond, amid the cheers of over three thousand spec¬ tators. He calls the Oak-Dale boys out on the field, and announces that Keane, of Oak-Dale, will oppose Randall, of Kent. The cheeriug from the grand stand is deafening. These two pitchers are the best either College ever produced. In the first game in which they are pitted against each other, Keaue is slightly out-olassed by Randall. In the second game Smith, of Oak-Dale op¬ poses Evans,of Kent. As Charley Keane, of Oak-Dale, steps into the pitcher’s box, the cheering from the Oak- Dale rooters’’is tremendous. Larry King, the catcher, adjusts his mask and chest pro¬ tector. The umpire calls: “Play ball!” Jackson, Kent’s short-stop, steps up to the plate, and after having two strikes and one ball called on him, raises an easy “pop-fly” to Dome,the third base-man, which Dome readily gets. Anderson, the next batter strikes out on three fast out-shoots. Carri- gan, the hard-hitting first-baseman, also fills a victim to tin Lt.ce tpct� . o. Charley Keaue, and strikes out on three pitched balls. The cheer ug from tie Oak-Dale rooters is raise i l y two thousand voices. The Oak-Dale players trot off the field to take their first bats of the game Randall after throwing over a balls t« Delaney, the catcher, waits for the umpire to auuounce, “Play ball!’ v He doesn ' t have long to wait, however, for the umpire soon call, “Ratter up.” King, after picking out a bat suitable to ht liking, steps up to the plate. Raudall makes a quick underhand de ' ivery shooing the ball straight over the plate,there is a crack as King ' s hat connects with the hall. The ball sails straght into the I audsof Carri- gan, the first baseman. Smil h, i lie next It er walks but is caugh stealing second. Jones strikes out, in iking the three out. Now ilie Iveut rooters cheer wit i might ami m en. In the second inning neither side scotes. In Oak-Dale’s half of the tbird. Cook gets to second n a clean hit over first base. He gets no farther,however, for Keaue hits a fly to Center, which Kane gets easily, and Kit g •hits a fly to short. The ball is caught, and thrown to second, making a double play 1 e fere Cook can get on ihe base. Inthe fourth tuning nei berside scores The spectators are crazed with delight. In thefifth iunitiga pitched ball hits Dolan. Bartlett, the next bat ter, sends a liner to third which Dome fumbles. Dolan t eat lies second, and Bartlett makes first safely. Ksue bus a grounder to first base. Smith misses. The ball rolls out into left field but is recovered by Cook, and thrown to third base in time to get Dolan stealing third. Lancer strikes out on three fast drops. Keane strikes out Randall, making three • I O 011 Keanes |i.iiui r js iiims erly. With two on and none down, Kent’s chances to sc ’iv were till . lint Keane s pitching as was seen st.oppe I them from scoring. itak Dale tails to score in its half of the fifth. Neither si le scores in the sixth. Net a sin- yle man on i li r s:de reaches v irst base. Kaudall and Keane are pitching wonderful balls I i the ninth inu : ng with the score 0-0, Dolan bums down third-base line and rushes ut. Bartlett bits to deep center getting a clean two-base bit, and advancing Dolan to third. Kane walks, making three on basts. Here the Kent rooters go wild wiili enthus¬ iasm. L -nicer walks up to the plate smiling. Here, with the bases full, and none out, it seems as though Kent must smely score. Tire coach says a few wor-lsoi enco ra.emeui to Keane. King signals Keane for a fast drop. Lancer swings but bits only empty air. The next iw.i are fast i ' j-curves. The first he fouls, an 1 the next he misses entirely With one out, Keane’s courage reiurns, am as lie faces the next bailer, be glauces at the multitude ot Oak- Dale rooters. He thinks cf what depends ou him —if he loses, Randall will be acknowledged tbe belter pitcher of the two; if he loses this game, ti e series is lost. These thoughts summon a grnu deter miuatiou to his counienauce as he faces Jack- sin, the next baiter. With terrific speed he succeeds i j stikiug out Jackson. There is a bush, a death like silence, as Ran¬ dall steps up to the plate. Here is pitcher agaiust pitcher. If Randall hits the ball safely, one two, or, maybe, three runs will come in. Keane griuds his teeth as Randall, bis riv. II LR.’.LD al, stauds at the plate. His first, impluse .s that of intense hate, a desire to injure his riv¬ al. A fast in-curve aimed at Randall’s head would, in all probability, injure, if rot kill f Randall. Rut slowly tbe clean sportsmanship that base-ball teaches influences him. and he smiles at Randall. Randall smiles back In another moment, either he or Randall will be congratulated on winning tbe game ami tbe series. Tbefirsl ball lie pitches cuts si raighi over tbe plate. The ext two are too low and arecalled-balls. The next is a strike, and the following a ball With three balls and two strikes, all depends on the next ball pitched. Deane win Is up. He knows what depends on this ball. With all his might and control he swings tbe ball straight over the plate Randall swings, but misses! Nothing can be heard, fora inom-ut, but the cheering of the Oak-Dale rooters. In Oak-Dale s half of the last inning, Thompson strikes out; Cook does likswise. 11 looks as though another inning will have to be played. Keaue steps to the bat. The tables are turned: only a few minutes before be was pitching to Randall, now Ran¬ dall is pitching to him. Two strikes and one ball are a)Ud. Ka i c’sJl j im all bis efforts iuto the next ball. Keane swings. There is a crash as bat and ball come t . geiber, and tbe ball sails far over the left field fence. Keane trots around the bases, while every rooter iu tbe grandstand cheers lustily. Keaue has won bis own game. Randall acknowled¬ ges him tbe better pitcher. ’’Keane’s home run in the ninth” ij all Oak Dale College can talk about during the following week. Keane’s victory is com¬ plete. Rvon ho Caitlev, ’10. 4 q« A I 83!)fC . THE HERALD THE HERALD STAFF. Editor-in-Chief Marion Raitkb 14. Editors Flora Randall, ’15. Catherine Byrne, ’15.
