Stetson Weekly Collegiate Students* Publication of Stepson University, vol. xxn DeLAND, FLA., THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1910. No. 19 Stetson Baseball Team Nears Championship Goal. Page Pitches First Shutout Game of the Season. Wild Bill Page, the living skeleton, the human hair pin, on last Friday proudly drew from his pocket the key to the pitcher's box of the Southern College diamond, unlocked and ascended the mound. You have seen a war horse with angry eye, and dilated nostril stamp and paw the ground in hrs Impatience to rush upon the foe and trample under foot his helpless victims. That same eye and impatient look one could see as Handsome Bill delivered his warming up balls before the first Southern man came to bat, and it was, that blood-thirsty eye which told Southern her victorious triumphant* were ours. Page struck out three men, gave one base on balls and only allowed Southern four hits, and' they were well scattered. His team played jamb-up ball behind him making only one error, which was a hard chance to left field. Southern also had a "Jim-dandy" kid pitcher, who struck out 13 Stetson men and allowed only five hits but his team did not give him the support at the critical time that Page had during the entire game. The game from start to finish was a pitcher's ball and while there is no doubt Cecil is a pitcher, where the rub comes in is that Old Bill is simply a whole water set. Second Game. The second game was a very different contest from the one played on Friday for both teams hit the ball on the nose and scores ran high. Stevens went in the bov for Stetson and McMullen for Southern, both gave the opposing aggregation 8 hits. But here is where the ability to steal bases, to bunt and to use the noodle gave Stetson the game. There were several boneheads that might be put down but they will be left out until next time. We cannot say too much for the courtesy shown us by Coach Burleson and his gentlemanly bunch. Sutherland is a small place and the chance for entertainment small but they did their darn'est and every man on the Stetson team returned saying that he had had the time of his life.
