impossible, thing, which?only a player, who is alert and
determined can do. We can’t dream and play base
ball. We must be awake and thinking. Nothing
much gets by a player of this type,

in the'field.

afternoon, and the inability of it is what -caused our
defeat? "Our hitters failed in the pinch. Our team
collected nine hits, but they let eleven men die on the
bases.' It was timely hitting that won the game for
O. A . C. 6;to ,4.
Only one error is chalked up against our team, yet
