possible the year around. Two hun
dred and fifty men reported for base

ihree of whom were pitchers. With
ihis field to pick from, the coach

CAPTURE SEMI-FINALS
Loose Playing of Phi Psi and
Delta Chi Nines Bring
Defeat.
Sigma Phi Epsilon. winner over
Phi Kappa Psi 7 to 0. and the A. T.
O.'s victor in a 8 to 1 game over the
Delta Chi nine will battle Thursday-
afternoon for first place in the 192"
baseball tournament. The Phi Psi's
and Delta Chi's will fight it out on
the same afternoon to determine who
is entitled to third place.
The hit and-run game was featured
in both semi final battles played yes
letdar afternoon at M Street Park.
Few hits and several errors on the
part of ihe Phi Psi aggregation gave
the Sig Fp's the big end of the score
tally in their game, and the poor
folding of the A. T. O. hits was re
sponsible for the score in the Delta
Chi-A. T. ). game.
Carman and Hollingsworth furnished
the battery for the Sig Ep team and
backed up by a tight infield they suc
ceeded in shutting out the Phi Psi
stickers. Wright and Peterson was
the battery for the Phi Psi's.
Maxwell and Johnson were used on
ihe mound and behind the bat by the
n. T. O.'s. while Bridenbaugh caught
both Beck and Dorn on the Delta Chi
team. Beck's pitching, the feature ol
ihe Delia Tau game, did not bold out
in the game with tbe A. T. O.'a. Con
sistent hitting characterized the A.
T. O.'s innings at bat.
