secured the services of an umpire who most effectually eliminated the fac tor of luck from the saturday game while no one believes that lafayette had anything to do with the umpire's decisions yet it would be well if they would exercise more care in their choice of that functionary lehigh may have the satisfaction of knowing that after being badly beaten in the first two games she was able to put into the field a team which was more than a match for the lafayette athletes from a spectator's standpoint the game was the most exciting one of the season lafayette started by making one run on rothermel's hit a base on balls and an error lehigh scored three runs in her half on a base on balls an error and two pretty singles goose eggs were the order of the game after this until the seventh when lafayette secured one unearned run the excitement began in the ninth driesbaclu flied out to senior rothermel followed with a hit to senior who retired him in short order at first things began to look bright and the crowd looked toward the exit but sigman raised the drooping hearts of the kastonians by a single and a minute after barclay sent them up with a bound by a three bagger which brought in sigman wallbridge filed out to carman leaving the score tied lehigh again failed to score in came lafayette resolved to do or die lauer went cheerfully to base on balls reese hit to grace who retired him by a brilliant stop clark here made his first hit at a most opportune moment for lauer who had gotten to third came home saxton struck out but dreisbach with a pretty single brought in clark rothermel hit to gannon and was retired at first carman then went to bat for lehigh and hit for one base sny der bunted beautifully and reached first all right for dreisbach threw clear over
