STETSON'S RECENT BASEBALU GAMES
Base ball has been the order of
the day in athletics. Eight games
have been played in three weeks.
On March 16 and 17 K. M. I.
played two more games on our I
home grounds. The visitors played
their customary clean, lively I
game, but Stetson was a little too!
much for them, and won the first!
game, 7 to 3. E. Mickle pitched
for Stetson and gave up no hits.
Hall pitched for K. M. I. and gave!
up four hits. Hall struck out!
eight, Mickle struck out eleven.
The second game was very lively from start to finish. Stetson
could not score for five innings,
while K. M. I. got three at the!
very start, but that was all she;
did get, for Stetson settled down;
to business and the game ended
4 to 3. Pelot pitched for Stetson,
Hall for K. M. I. Pelot gave up;
only one hit and Hall one. Pelot;
struck out 11; Hall 12.
The K. M. I. boys are gentlemen and play clean baseball. We
are glad to note that they intend;
to have a permanent winter home;
in Florida and trust that annual
games may be played.
On Tuesday, March 27, the:
Stetson base ball team, composed of the following members :
C. Campbell, C. E. Pelot, R.
Broadwell, E. Mickle, W. Mickle,
H. Stewart, M. Sams, W. Kirby,
W. Tilden and H. Jones, started
on the longest base ball trip of;
the season, playing Florida Seminary at Sutherland Wednesday
and Thursday, and Bradentown
Friday and Saturday.
They made the trip by A. C.
L. via Sanford and Trilby to Sutherland, then to St. Petersburg and
down Tampa Bay on the steamer
Manatee to Bradentown,and home
via Seaboard Air Line and A. C.
L.
The trip down the bay was a
very pleasant one except that the
water was a little rough and one
or two of the fellows suddenly
developed "that tired feeling."
The first game at Sutherland
resulted in victory for Stetson by
a score of 8 to 2. The Seminary
boys played a good game and with
the exception of two or three bum
decisions of the umpire, it was an
excellent game. E. Mickle pitched
for Stetson aud Barrish for the
Seminary. Several errors were
made on both sides.
In the second game fortune
seemed to be against the green
and white; not only did it rain,
rendering the sandy field muddy,
but the umpire's eye seemed to be
worse than it was the day before
—nothing seemed to come our
way, yet, in spite of all, when the
game was over they had only
beaten us by one score. Stewart
and Pelot pitched this game for
Stetson and Bulloch for the Seminary.
While in Sutherland we were
well entertained at the dormitory.
In the Bradentown team we
ran up against the real article.
They have the strongest amateur
team in the State and two left-
handed pitchers.
In the first game, pitched by
E. Mickle for Stetson and Downey for Bradentown, only two hits
were made off each pitcher and
the game was played in fifty
minutes. Very few errors were
made. Bradentown won, 2 to 0.
In the second game Pelot pitched for Stetson and W. Vanderipe
for Bradentown. This game was
very close and depended on two
decisions of the umpire which,
if decided in our favor, would
have given us the game. Vanderipe gave up seven hits and Pelot
only four. The game ended 6 to
4 for Bradentown.
We were royally entertained at
the St. James Hotel while in Bradentown.
Altho we were not uniformly
successful as far as winning the
games were concerned, yet we
gained some experience that will
be valuable in the games yet to
come.
JACKSONVILLE'S GAMES.
April 2 and 3, Stetson ran up
against the real article in the
shape of the Jacksonville team
of the South Atlantic League.
We got some valuable points
and that is about all we did get.
Pelot pitched the first six innings of the first game, but the
leaguers got next to him and ran
in 10 scores. E. Mickle went in
and held them down for the remainder of the game. Score 10
toO.
In the second game E. Mickle
went in the box for Stetson and
they solved his curves also and
made quite a collection of home
runs, three-baggers, two base hits
and singles. The game ended,
Jacksonville, 15; Stetson, 0.
While not very interesting,
from a spectator's point of view,
yet the team got some valuable
points on real base ball.
The Jacksonville pitchers,
Walker and Pardrone, gave us all
kinds of hard knots to untie, and
it is needless to say we couldn't
do it.
The team leaves Thursday night
for Lake City tojilay the U. of F.
