of 8-6 the following mon day they encountered colgate at hamilton and johnson scored a very decisive victory by the score of 5-3 the contest with vermont on tuesday was halted by the rain in the fourth inning with the green mountain team leading by a hanover n h but the condition of the field prevented the conflict with dartmouth the final game of the trip was with wesleyan and lehigh romped off with the victory on the long end of a 4-2 score the three games played were featured by the hard hitting of the lehigh men and the splendid show ing of the pitchers a total of thirty hits were garnered by the brow t n and white batsmen in the three games driving in seventeen runs everybody seemed to be taking a crack at the old horse-hide and the opposing teams were kept busy chasing hard-hit balls the team hitting average for the three games was 290 which is no mean average especially for a travelling team the hitting honors were di vided among wilson yap savaria mathag and rote wilson and yap rapped out five safeties apiece while the other three divided up eleven hits continued on second page captain swede johnson was the mainstay in the box and inci dently won all three games in the opening game he held the army hitters to eight hits and fanned nine he showed better form in the colgate contest on monday when he held the maroon team to three hits in the first eight innings in the ninth he weakened how ever and four hits produced three runs he was relieved by pfeiffer with one out and dave finished the game without further scoring ' ' johnny lees was keady s selec tion for the mound in the vermont game but rain cut the contest short swede ended the series by holding the wesleyan aggrega tion to five hits while his team mates batted out a victory gym

week during which the team showed marked im provement prospects for a victory saturday are bright johnson's arm 1 is in good shape for the game as he has had over a week's layoff coach keady sent his second string pitchers against seton hall last wednesday especially in order to have johnson in shape for satur day the line-up which lehigh pre sents saturday will probably be the same as in the game last wed nesday with the exception of the pitchers wilson will do the re ceiving besides showing his early season ability as a receiver and throwing to bases his hitting has improved lately johnson will be in the box while the infield w t ill be the same as in preceding games s rote donovan and bock c?ii s-titute a fine defensive quartette covering lots of ground and play ing a steady game • savaria and mathag will occupy left and center fields respectively while sheedy will probably be in right this team is fast is good on defensive work while the offensive has a punch and with ordinary luck should return a winner saturday lafayette will probably show an improved team over last year a number of new players have been developed at the down river insti tution the infield will be fairly strong but the outfield somewhat inferior to lehigh s the pitching staff is said to be strong particu larly in southpaws the pitching selection is still in doubt but car ney who held perm state to four hits last week will probably start the game so far this year lafayette has had a fairly successful season after losing an early season game to pennsylvania by a 1-3 score princeton tufts and
