the range and were playing deep the lehigh bats had poled out some lively extra base clouts joe rawle pitched a most con sistent game but the failure of his team-mates support in critical stages of the game caused him to fight an up-hill battle both pitch ers showed remarkable reserve strength in the extra sessions ac tually tightening up in the final periods with a 4 to 2 score against them lehigh came to bat in their half of the ninth frame and put across the two runs necessary to tie the score from then on through six scoreless rounds the rival teams were retired with surprising regularity each nine grimly taking their turn at bat with the madly-cheering crowd on its feet and calling wildly for a rally the crisis came in the latter half of the sixteenth inning when ge rard landed on one of rawle s of ferings for a short single to left clough drew a pass which put him on first and advanced gerard to the second sack hunt hit a roller be between twombly and chenoweth and
