FREAK RUNS LIVEN DULL BASEBALL GAME WITH CONN. AGGIES

O'Brien for Nutmeggers and Clark for Crimson Complete Circuit--Bemis Replaces Cordingley in Third

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Playing a slow game that momentarily became slower as the temperature fell, the University nine nosed out the Connecticut Agricultural College team 6 to 5 on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. The game while close was dispirited and marred by freak runs.

The visitors started off with a rush taking advantage of Cordingley's poor control in the second inning. Two men were walked, three singles and a double smashed out in rapid succession, and the nine retired only after four runs had been tallied. The visitors final run, which came in the seventh was the showpiece of the day. O'Brien was walked, made second on a wild pitch, was permitted to visit third on fielders choice, and still not content, stole home.

Crimson Stages Its Own Show

Bemis was substituted for Cordingley in the third and things went more smoothly. The University in the last of the inning staged its own show when with Clark and Gordon on base Owen drove out a weak single, tore on to second on fielders choice and on a passed ball completed the circuit for a home run. The Crimson players scored two more runs in the sixth; one when K. N. Hill, who was put in as a pinch hitter for Thayer, brought in Bemis and the other when Clark who had advanced to third on the same play stole home. The final tally came in the seventh when Owen was hit and sent to first, made second on Hammond's sacrifice, reached third on F. S. Hill's fly out and walked home when the first baseman let the ball go by him into the bleachers.
