XXIV DeLAND, FLORIDA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1912 NO. 15 SUTHERLAND vs. STETSON On Friday and Saturday of last week were played two of the best games witnessed upon the Athletic Field in some time when the baseball team representing Southerland College engaged Stetson. The visitors are all good ball players and they came determined to win, but our boys were too many for them in both games, and Stetson has two more victories to her credit. The opening game of the series began inaus- piciously for Stetson, the first inning netting the visitors two runs while our score yet remained to be made. These reason for these runs is this: Lawlor placed a single in right and was forced by Van Lanningham who elected the Big Four Route. Next McReynolds poked one into center field scoring both men ahead of him, but died on second as the next two batters went ovit on strikes. Stetson failed to score. In the visitors half of the second inning Bevil hit over short and later came in on Whitmore's hit. Billy Beardall, for Stetson, led off the run-getting with a two-base drive scoring later on Jackson's wallop for two bags. The only thing of note in the third inning was a very pretty catch of a high line drive by Jimmie Owens, our cheerful third baseman. In the fifth inning Sutherland scored once as against twice for Stetson. The score was tied in the sixth inning when Allen, for the University, beat out an infield hit, stole second, later scoring. In the seventh and eighth innings three of Coach Pettie's men made the circuit. The visitors also scored. "Smitty" seemed rather wild at times but certainly did good work considering the fact that for several days he has been under the weather. Score—Stetson 7; Sutherland 5. Line-up as follows: Sutherland Stetson. Wicker Owens Lawlor (C) Willard Van Lanningham Bradley McReynolds Lofberg Bryan Allen Smith Beardall(C) Howell Jackson Bevil Snell Whitmore (P) Smith (P) Umpire—Vineyard. Hits given for each pitcher—7. Strike outs—Smith, 6; Whitmore, 7. SECOND GAME. This is in many ways the more interesting of the two inasmuch as the score was smaller and the batting freer. In the first inning visitors failed to score, while Owens of the Varsity scored from second on Willard's two bagger. No more scores until the seventh when the visitors drove in two. In the eighth inning with the score 2 to 1 against us Benjamin Willard Esq., let something drop—near the west goal post. He was gently stopped at third by the ever attentive and courteous coach and scored later on a caught fly. After him Allen and Beardall scored. A very pretty play destroyed the visitors last chance. With two men down, a man on third and one on first, instead of palying for the batter Beardall caught the runner going down to second by a fine peg. Features of the game were Willard's three- base hit and Jackson's catch over short. Score—4 to 2. Umpire—Fox. Batteries: Sutherland—Mickler and Lawlor; Stetson—Gross and Beardall. -»♦»♦♦♦♦ -f- THAT SENIOR ACADEMY CLASS PARTY The social events which mark commencement and graduation, were duly ushered into this scholastic year, by a party given by the girls of the Senior Academy Class at the home of Miss Myrtle Conrad in Glenwood. At 6:30 Thursday evening a vehicle, containing June Elliot, Eva Klicker, Gladys Wright, Elizabeth Coen, Alice Hayden, Frankie Sheddan, Seth Alderman, Willis Junkin, Dudley Abbott, Appleton Lawrence, Robert McPherson, Kirk- land Lamb, one Longstreet, and a chaperon in the person of Prof. Sheddan, a conveyance, I say, rolled down the Boulevard and onto New York Avenue. At 8:00, this same carriage arrived at the home of Myrtle Conrad. We gladly entered the domicile, where we were cordially melcomed by Mrs. Conrad, and our charming classmate. The parlors were gaily decorated, the fires were blazing merrily, and an air of genial warmth pervaded the atmosphere. We spent the evening in varied amusement. A cumulative process of gambling in a mild and harmless form, kept our interest centered for Y. W. C. A. was led by Miss Dollie Dunning on Feb. 15, and altho' but few were present, there was an especially good meeting. Miss Dunning proved herself to be a capable and interesting leader, taking for her stibject, "The Greatest of These," in the 18th chapter of Corinthians. She was assisted in making the hour helpful by some special music, Miss Katharine Dunning playing a piano solo and Miss Glenn Neff singing, "Come- Unto Me.'-'- Both numbers were very much appreciated and enjoyed. The leader for Thursday, Feb. 29, will be Miss Dye. an hour or more. The dice rattled, and th6 "bones" rolled noisily, while the shrieks of the winners, and the desparing groans of those who were losing even that which they had, rent the circumambient envelope. Ye scribe was a heavy loser. Gambling never was his fate. But Frankie and Willis evidenced a superiority. Sundry ejaculations of "come seven" and "Sixty days," etc., were audible. When we were entirely wearied with such enjoyment as games and song provided, we were seated in quartets at various tables, laden with dainty refreshments. When these were disposed of, sundry speeches and announcements were in order. The engagement of ye scribe was published, he being unaware of any such relation. About 10:30, we donned our overcoats and wraps, and bidding our hostess goodnight, followed it by a rousing cheer. The drive back to DeLand was not devoid of amusement. Alderman misbehaved dreadfully. Abbott evidenced symptons of flirtation. Lawrence was generally quiet. I think that his small talk must have been "devoured." The Lamb was very noisy and unruly. June, Eva, Elizabeth, Gladys, all were mischevious. Alice and ye scribe alone behaved themselves. We reached DeLand before 1:00 a. m. One by one, the boys and girls were dropped at their respective homes. And at last, the entire crowd had dissipated so to speak, and the Senior Academy Class Party was a thing of history. Nine Rahs for Myrtle Conrad! ! Nine Rahs for our class! ! Nine Rahs for J. B. S. U. R. L. What has been unjustly gained can not be justly kept.
