No. 18 Two Exciting and Close Games at Ormond Stetson Baseball Record Continues a Good One Last Thursday the baseball team journeyed over to Ormond' to get a few square meals, to see their old friends, and incidentally to play a couple of games of ball. While our team was defeated in both games it is nothing to be ashamed of as they put up an excellent article of baseball. Stetson was up against such men as Richie, who pitched for Philadelphia and finished out the season with Boston; Hinchman, the heavy hitting outfield from Cleveland whose fielding percentage is 918 and who batted 257; Murry, the heavy hitter from the Eastern League. Garner pitched the first game and was decidedly the star of the exhibition, giving up only three hits. Hinchman and Richie both failed to land a safe one. Stetson had- them beat 4 to 3 until the last half of the ninth, when Hinchman. knocked a slow ball to Calhoun who threw ±0 first; but Jones muffed the ball. Garner stuck a fast one in Richie's back and he walked, advancing Hinchman to second. The next man fanned and then Murry came to the test as a pinch-hitter; he got one over third and Galloway made a beautiful fly home but Campbell let it get past him and both Richie and Hinchman scored. Thus the final score was 4 to 5 in favor of Ormond. The Second Game. Page pitched the second game and was defeated 4 to 3. Page allowed the opponents only four hits and should have won his game for Stetson landed five safe ones. George tSelden knocked a beautiful home run completely over the fence but some one in the grandstand yelled, "Oh, Mary! Look at that!" The name of Mary seemed to frighten George for he ran by third-base without touching the sack. He was compelled to go back to third' and was unable to make it home again before the ball was held by the pitcher. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦i "Chaudoin Sporting Issue" I NEXT WEEK :: "Proper Issue" :: >~M~M Stetson vs. Cathedral. Score: Stetson 23; Cathedral 20. Last Friday, March 4, the Stetson girls engaged in battle with the Cathedral girls, and found them to be a team well worth their mettle. The two teams were almost evenly matched in weight, and as it was known that Cathedral was a strong team, a good game was expected. In this no one was disappointed. From the time the whistle was blown for the toss up, the game was an extremely lively one. Cathedral's center by her superior height succeeded in capturing the ball almost every time in the jump for it. Their guards played a hard game, and did some good team work. The forVards fell down on their passes to each other, and in the last half seemed to give up using passes at all, but shot for the basket, no matter in what section of the field they were. They lost many of their throws for the basket on this ac count. They also came up missing in the throwing of fouls. They played a hard, snappy game, and our girls found it by no means an easy task to defeat them. The atmosphere in Orlando must possess some special qualities conducive to the pro duction of splendid basket ball players. Our girls played a clean, fighting game all the way through. Though Miss Bunch could not succeed in getting the ball in the toss-up, she did fine work in working it back from her guards to her forwards, in some- very effective dribbling. Miss Post, while guarded by a girl much larger than herself, played well upon the line and in making low short passes to Miss Quarterman. Miss Quarter- man won the cheers and admiration of all by her sure, steady shots for the basket; and her foul throwing was aknost spectacular in its precision and certainty. The guards stayed by their forwards, and were very much in the way of any work they tried to do. As this is the chief mission of a guard, they upheld their positions well. The game gave promise of ending with a score much in favor of Stetson, but in the last few moments Cathedral seemed to make up with a jerk, and piled up the score in their favor, until the game ended with ,Stetson 23; Cathedral 20 . In the second half, Miss Person was put in as forward instead of Miss Cooper, and proved herself a good basket thrower. The Stetson lineup remained unchanged, as it has in all the games thus far. The game aroused the liveliest interest, and more enthusiasm was shown than at any game thus far. Remember, enthusiastic side lines help make a stronger team, and that is what Stetson girls want their team to be. Not only a stronger team, but the strongest. Cathedral Girls Breakfasted. Saturday morning at eleven o'clock the Stetson girls' basket ball team delightfully entertained the visiting team from the Cathedral School of Orlando. The back parlors of Chaudoin looked like the true college. girl's room, being given the unmistakable
