Heavy bitting tie Cardinals and the wildnees of pawson, the pitcher tent to i the mound by Coach Clevenger; war the features of the game, and were also re-J sponsible for the numerous scores occurnn-fcated by the big leaguers. la the field the col'egUas played fair game, although wild heaves by Dawson and Cn truer DeBerry allowed three run to 1 trickle across the plate, bot the three er- 3 rors charged np to the Volunteers were not Tery costly.

Flften aafe blnglee ere made by the Cardinals wWtt tune ether fellow penvmfcuta to first base through the Inability of Dawson to locate the plate. Bedding, who Is considered very much a "find by Manager HUgglns, was on tha rubber during the first five Innings the fray and he was certainly eec-s tlve against the collegians. It was three np and three down for them during the first three frames, but In tho fourth ses- alon, "Deck Ashe got a hit, and the next man up was given a luo on balls. How 4 ever, the next man forced Aehe at third and the two who followed- were struck out by Bedding, and the hopes of the local faus fhat score might be made went a-gllmmeitng.

In the ninth inning the hopes of the locals for a score were raised high, only to be dashed to the ground.

Through' an error by Manager Smith, Uie first man up, was able to reach Hast base a safety, and then through another boot by -Konetchy, first aackcr, he hied himself to third.

It looked a though at least no run might be marked np, bot the big pitcher buckled doom to work and struckont the next two men, while the third was thrown out at first by Catcher HlUebrand and the finishing touch -of a thick coat pf-whlte-- wash wjs applied. Quite naturally In the first inning, piteher Dawson was afflicted with stage fright something similar to-it.

Three hits, some bases on balls, were good for five scores.

An Instant I later Mowrey, who was sent bf first out paying any fare, was caught While 1 enjonig a siesta and Big Bd Konetchy Was 'thrown out first by Dawson. Thus it was three np and three- down.
