page the second game of the lehigh lafayette baseball series will be played next saturday at lafayette college easton pa a game no less thrilling than the first is an ticipated and its outcome determ ines whether we will have a chance to win the series or not a comparison of the two teams is scarcely necessary as both are quite equally matched the im portant factor in this game will be that it is played in easton where our opponents will have ample sup port unless lehigh is well rep resented in the bleachers the moral effect will certainly be in lafa yette's favor we are inclined to think that if we beat lafayette yearly in foot ball that is enough but that is not the way they look at it they are elated when they can trim us in the minor sports continued defeat on their part has stimulated them to greater zeal and they meet lehigh with unparalleled enthus iasm we have a team and one of which we may be proud for its playing qualities have been showed and to deny support until a pinch in the game is suicidal on our part to gain an early lead insures a big score in our favor at the game last tuesday lafayette cheer ed consistently through the whole game and we when we saw things going badly toward the end of the game mustered enough ambition to drag the score up everyone knows the customary shower of invectives that falls on a team and especially a team visiting lafayette our part is to drown them out and make our boys be lieve that we are with them the familiar rumors about an athletic revival at lafayette should be discredited to the extent that the eastonians should feel like dropping athletics out of their col lege activities and substitute de bating societies or something they are more sure of bear in mind that if we lose that they will say it is merely an annual affair and that unless we win by a wide margin they will trump up some euphonistie alibi the line-up which will be the same as that of tuesday's game is published below both institu tions have agreed to the engage ment of two arbitors from the national league to umpire the game the big league men will see continued on second page costly errors and inability to hit at opportune times cost lehigh the opening game of the annual series with lafayette last tuesday on taylor field by a 5 to 4 score the game was exceedingly 1 close throughout and not until the last man was out in the ninth was the game safely to the credit of the visitors with the exception that there were few spectacular plays the game closely resembled . the pennsylvania contest with the lead see-siawing back and forth and neither team showing a marked ad vantage the game started with tierney lafayette's best bet opposing johnson on the mound and for seven innings the ■ latter pitched splendid ball allowing the maroon and white batters only three hits two of which were doubles and one a triple there three hits coupled with an error by savaria and a wild throw by herrington allowed three runs to be tallied pfeiffer relieved johnson in the eighth and allowed two hits but again errors were good for two more tallies several times it looked as if the game would result in a free for all owing to some miserable decisions by the umpire and several un sportsmanlike plays of the visitors in interfering with lehigh run ners the contest was one of the longest nine innings play.cd here in several seasons lasting almost three hours for the visitors moyer's pinch pitching and chilson s hitting featured coffin and savaria car ried 1 off the batting honors for the brown and white while johnson's pitching was deserving of a vic tory lafayette scored in the first in ning on a base on balls to keating after wolback had fanned mar tin's double and chelson's sacrifice lehigh came back in their half and tied the scare when savaria singled and took second on a wild throw to catch him off first took third on a passed ball and tallied on mathag's single maginnes who was walked in this frame would have scored on the hit if tombourelli hadn't blocked him coming home which was re sponsible for his being caught at the plate in the third lehigh took a one run lead savaria walked and stole second winterhalter popped up but maginnes hit a hot one to beiber who fumbled it anldl savaria scored on the play maginnes was thrown out trying to steal continued on second page the visitors counted twice in the fourth on only one hit chilson landed on one of johnson's swift ones for a long triple to deep cen ter welles hit the first ball pitched to savaria who mussed it up chilson scoring wiells went to second on a passed 1 ball which injured herrington's index finger that the huge german chemi cal plants along the rhine were in better condition than ever and ready to begin the production of diyestuffsi and

chemicals used in the gas mask canisters dr ullmann head of the chemical departm'ent ment introduced 1 mr perry as the right rind of an alumnus be cause he was always willing to help out in anything concerning le high mr perry talked of some of the problems which would con front the young chemical engineer and some of the present day eco nomic phases of the chemical in diustry with which the successful engineer must become familiar speaking of present day con ditions he told how they were brought about by the two phases in which the european vfar affected the chemical industry the first of these phases was the shortage of heavy chemicals acids alkalis and salts which was caused by the de mand of the allies for these things for use in munitions and war work the shortage was so acute for a time in 1915 that although plants were being built at an unheard of rate and production was going up by leaps and bounds still prices went up even faster the second phase began with the continued on third page entrance of the u s into the avar chemical industry was given the further stimulus of government support and more plants were built some of these were con structed in places which would not have been considered in normal times this development was go ing on at a high pitch when the war ended and everything stopped bach choir of 250 voices under direction of dr wolle opens

pertaining to and for the betterment of the club it was decided to revert to the old practices of the society and revive many of the old customs the elimination of which has caused the rapid decline of this club in college interest according to plans a campaign will be con ducted in such a manner as to make the organization appealing instructive and beneficial to its members continued on second
