BASEBALL
Due to many cancellations occasioned by the
suspension of athletics at many of our colleges,
the 'Varsity has been unable to play all of the
scheduled gam.es. The following are the games
which had been played up to the tim.e of going
to press.
ViLLANOVA, 19; Haverford, 4
April 17th—The 'Varsity opened the season
at home in a very encouraging mianner w^hen
they humbled the Haverford nine in a seven-
inning gam.e, score 19-4. Delohery made his
debut as a college twirler and lived up to expec-
tations. His "spitter" w^as working to perfec-
tion and before Coach McGeehan decided to
relieve the young pitcher in the fourth inning,
six opposing batters had fanned and but three
had connected safely. Jones relieved Delohery
and showed a fine brand of pitching. Robinson
and McGeehan were the stars at bat, totaling
seven hits between them.
Villanova 4 5 10 4 5—19 13 4
Haverford 10 3—4 4 11
Villanova, 7; Mt. St. Mary's, 15
April 25th— In the first game away from home
the 'Varsity came out on the short end of a 15
to 7 score with Mt. St. Mary's nine at Emmetsburg,
Md. Delohery pitched for the blue and
white and was touched for thirteen hits. The
game was put on ice in the initial round, when the
locals put three counters across the rubber,
after Villanova had counted once in their half.
The game was featured by the spectacular field-
G.P.M,
ing of Roche, the Mountaineer leftfielder, and
the hitting of Leo Brennan who accounted for
three hits, one being a circuit clout.
Villanova 103 02 000 1—7 9 4
Mt. St. Mary's. 3 6 2 10 3 0—15 13 3
Villanova 6; Mt. St. Joseph, 1
April 26th—Overcoming the eflfects of their
defeat of the previous day the 'Varsity nine
battled their way to victory over the Mt. St.
Joseph's team at Irvington, score 6-1. Jones was
the slab artist for Villanova, and easily conquered
the opposing batters; he had a great supply of
speed and perfect control. The Irvington tossers
succeeded in getting eight hits, but Jones kept
them, so well scattered that he was very seldom
in danger. Villanova hit Kneisch hard, Murray
and Marrafino being the chief ofTenders, each
getting three hits, one of the little catcher's
being for the circuit. Jones was in rare form
and held the opponents scoreless up to the ninth
inning, when successive hits by Houck and
Kneisch netted the home team their lone tally.
