Just who Is to blame for this ignominious ignomi-nious defeat of tho Logan lobsters may te remain untold, but it is said that tncy themselves were more responsible respons-ible for It than tho 11. Y. C. boys, liar-ton liar-ton was as wild as a March hare, and Gallagher is too fat to play ball, anyway. any-way. The College boys Jumped into the game at the start with a vim and dash that netted them five scores in the first inning, enough to have won the game had they not scored again, but they continued their work and lopped a corner off tho horsehide at every opportunity. The most admirable admir-able feature of the entire performance was the staying qualities of the Logan team. Long after hope had faded Into In-to despair the boys staid in the scrap when others would have fled, but honest effort Is not always rewarded on the ball Held.
